Except for you and Catholic Lady, the Christians who came here typically say the same things. Each new Christian who comes in parrots the same arguments I've been seeing since I first came here. So it's hard to see individuals. And to tell the truth, I don't want to see them as individuals because they have already betrayed their intentions. They might change their tactics, but their intentions will remain the same. Why should I cultivate a friendship only to find out it was based on the hope of converting me?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
