My genesis of hostility to Christianity started in college back in the mid 70s.
Campus Crusade for Christ was sufficiently odious about homosexuality (then and now) as to attract my attention. The Methodists I grew up with, in hindsight, seemed unwilling to raise the idea of homosexuality very often so as to not put ideas in our little brains. In the mid 70s the gay rights movement hit the Midwest and CCfC jumped into the fray.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
