No one should be hurt by one person's view. Just as I am not hurt by the majority of people here and their view that I am in delusion.
If they truly know they are right, no one words of them being wrong will hurt them, and if they are confused, then perhaps the words are calling them to awaken and hence hurt.
I am not sure what stance regarding this issue I will take if I do leave my faith. And I don't know if I will leave my faith.
All I know is right down I am in conflict, do I truly believe Losty and others I know among friends, are evil, due to their sexual orientation? I feel like I have an intellectual stance that it is evil the sexual orientation, but, when it comes down to it, my heart is convinced otherwise.
So I have to see where the conflict is coming for, if rational, if for good reasons, etc.
Let me ask you something MK... does your soul searching and questioning over this issue equally apply to male homosexuals? Because it's by no means unheard of for male homophobes to apply a double standard about homosexuality where lesbians are concerned, simply as a result of their own attractions and lusts.
