thanx Jimm - I'm passionate about not letting anyone tell me what God thinks is best for me - God resides in our hearts and speaks to each and everyone one of us with much more clarity than we could ever hope to get from a third party intervening for us...
And one last thing Crusader - I believe that God has never intended us to live lives of deprivation. If one is gay, one is as entitled to all the fullness of life as you. No, it's probably not a good idea for you to sleep with every woman you lay eyes upon - but you DO accord yourself the right to have a wife, do you not? To live a life meeting your human needs for love, affection, compansionship and dare I say it, S-E-X.
Well, the God I believe in sez we all have that right. Yes, even homosexuals. If you don't mind me pointing this out, that comment from you seemed a bit condescending... that one could be homeosexual as long as they don't act on it... there's a huge difference between love shared and what you deem to be unacceptable - because someone else in a book written by MEN told you to believe that..
If you truly want to improve the world, may I suggest you dare to think for yourself, ask yourself some questions, listen to your heart for the answers - to your own sense of what a loving God would want... and if you come up with the same answers that have been driven into you by someone else's thinking, then you'll have to conclude that I and many many others do not believe in the same God as you, and would therefore, make poor citizens of a country ruled by his laws.
