Nah I can't see the attraction at all
Because only christians have families and love right?
With atheists, it's just nihilistic indifference dressed up as love. It's notoriously hard to tell the difference, some are together for 60 years and die before ever realizing that theres been a misunderstanding.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Why would gay christians be immune to the otherwise UNIVERSAL cherry picking of scripture the rest of the christers are doing ??
Divorced and remarried 'christians' don't have a lick of trouble with Mark 10:11, almost all denominations will treat a remarriage as a sacrament despite what the guy with top billing on their marquee says.
Weird topic, no ??

That pretty much sums it up. But we're leaving out rich Christians (that pesky camel needle thing), adulterers, those who don't turn the other cheek, and folks who don't want to give everything to the poor.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Most wedding receptions have a tray of shrimp cocktail too.
Weird the christers trot out Leviticus to castigate the homos (Leviticus being in the Old Testament for our Rio Linda lurkers) and ignore Mark 10:11 (etal) which is not only in the New Testament, but is also a direct quote from that jesus guy they keep going on about.
How in the FUCK does that work in the average christer brain ??
Seriously, how does that happen ?????????

I am gay and proud Christian. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and my sexual orientation has nothing to do with my religion.

So, which one of the over 40,000 christian denominations do you call yours?
(if you want to say)
And realizing a wrong answer there will get you boiling iron enemas in HELL for all of eternity, and for an infinite number of years after that.

Yeah, but you act like you've been brainwashed. The objection is more about the thinking Christians.
