No, never heard of the 700 club. I did look up pat robertson last night. Looks like he was a southern Baptist minister who had his own TV show. Never watched it. I have heard of Joel Osteen and seen hiM on TV while channel surfing, but never stopped to watch that, either.
I've often thought that Joel Osteen looks just like Butthead from Beavis & Butthead.

All us straight ppl need to do is wait until we're married and not have sex with anyone else besides our spouse. That's nothing at all compared to what is asked of gay folks. Gay folks are expected to not only never do anything sexual ever, but also to give up the idea of a loving life long relationship with a significant other and have a family. That's a lot to ask of someone, and so i have nothing but compassion and understanding for you.It would probably help by not calling gay people's attraction for each other a "sin."

We don't think their attraction to others is a sin.
"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."
