That the bible should be outlawed because a small percentage of the people who read it come out thinking God wants us to believe gays are vile?
Of course, because there's never any middle ground is there? It's always either one extreme or the other. I mean it's not like there's other options, like - oh I don't know - education or anything. Perhaps if your pope spoke out publicly condemning these so-called minority groups, pointing out that your special book doesn't paint same-sex relationships as abominations.
Oh wait...
Isn't the middle ground what the vast majority of Christians are already?
The pope has spoken out against extremist views, and the Church does teach to treat gay people with respect and love.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
