I'm surrounded by christians that defy christian stereotypes as easily as atheists defy the stereotypes foisted upon them by putative christians. That's -why- it seems so strange to me, that we get the "christians" that we do, round hur. The only christians I bother with don't bother to hate on the gays, they don;t have time for creationism, they don't demean themselves or their god by lying about their faith or the evidence or it. They're brotherhood of man types, friends of the poor...from whose lips the word "taker" will never fall. Missionaries that never handed out a single bible..only food and shelter and labor. Carter Christians and true Red Letter believers, lol.
I see you like Christians who do not bother you with a witness and have no concern about your eternal destination. You like Christians who sit around and do little of what the bible instructs us to do. Who said any of us here hate on the gays, that would be your opinion of us because we believe what the word of God says, not in how we associate with gays.

The christians I know and love don't worry about my "eternal destination", because a, they believe in a good god...... and b, they aren't sickos like you. They're already fully aware that I'm fully up to speed on magic book and they all know my opinion of it...so why in gods green earth would they bother me about it further? They're certainly not going to waste their time lying through their teeth about it, I still can't understand why you do.
I know, I know, you don't hate the gays..... you just think they deserve hellfire because you believe that some primitive bigot wrote it down in a book. You give yourself cover for it by pretending that it's The Christian Position™....but it isn't. It's just you, hating gays. Temet nosce.

So if you were to cover for your sons who murdered someone then you are also a murderer worthy of death. Why would you eagerly prosecute another person but not someone related to you? That's hypocrisy of the worst kind.
LOL, I'm all sorts of hypocritical, and certainly no paragon of moral virtue....it's called "being a human being"...but, uh, I'm not much for being prosecutorial, so? Covering for my murderous sons would be one of my more minor transgressions, lol. In any case, I'm not really sure how you square obstruction of justice with murder and treat both as the same crime. Good luck with that case.
