I'm here because I got banned from the Christian forums. prob because i said paul could have been a closeted gay man. (A respected Christian scholar actually believes this. John Shelby Spong.)

So who are you a sock of?

I believe the same thing regarding Paul, because those who tend to be zealously against something are in serious repression regarding that issue.

Yeah. I mean, it's not as strong when you read the epistles as a lot of people think. At least it's not that strong to me. There are a few verses tho. I believe it's a high possiblity but I'm not sure. It doesn't really matter to me to be honest. Paul was actually a very interesting person.

Hello.

Hello.

Well most, if not all, religious forums are not very open minded.

They love to infiltrate atheist forums and spout their banal, trite, rethoric and expect carte blanche. Yet, on their own hackneyed, stale, forums any opinion differing from the tiny man behind the curtain is greeted with utter distain and banishment.

You can be gay and saintly, as long as you don't practice gay sex acts.   So it's not an impossibility with St. Paul, and it wouldn't invalidate his sainthood.

I have found that to be true of other atheist forums.  Hopefully not this one.

Why don't you make your own intro thread, man? Tell us a little about yourself.

This forum isn't interested in a practicing Catholic's story, is it?
