I thank God for your Christian love, though I take issue with some of the Facts you quote.
Christ socialised with lepers and prostitutes and sinners, but he did not say that leprosy prostitution and sin was a good thing. Homosexuality is NOT a disease, it is a stae of mind or condition. It may be that the homosexual has not controlled that condition existing within his/her being or spirit. But to seek homosexual gsexual gratification is IN MY VIEW abnormal behaviour. Homosexually inclined PEOPLE are not abnormal, I am saying that sexual gratification obtained by homosexual means is abnormal.

What war is justifiable? I admire the Irish hunger strikers of 1981, but should I admire the car bombs they set off that killed and maimed. Personally, I query a Societies values that leaves individuals feeling they have no option but to seek change through violence.
I do not have acces to the various authors you have quoted(I live in Scotland) all I can say is Christ commanded me to “Love one and other as I have loved you.”Not an easy command to obey!!!God Bless you and yoursLiam Griffin

Renee,

Obviously Kathy is my role model on these things. But you have been one of a small group of fellow heretics who have also helped me get here. Thanks to you too, friend.

Aw shucks, ya’ll. Thanks.

And Jennifer, this came up the other the day in a discussion I was having on similar themes on line….if you don’t know it, find Kris Kristofferson’s song “Jesus Was a Capricorn” on You Tube. You will like it.

Amen! Amen! and Amen! Thank God for all the heretics. America has changed so much since the 60’s and 70’s. Where are the sit-ins, the general strikes, the blocked city streets, the the linked-armed,chained -to -the- fence, hell- no- we- won’t -go fervor? Heretics of Christendom, UNITE!!!

Anyone with a conscience should be jumping up and down and screaming at the top of their lungs, NOW! Or sitting quietly and blogging, of course.

Great post!

I’ve always said Jesus was the ultimate Hippie. He would definitely be crucified by the “faithful” today for being waaaaaayyyyy too liberal!!
Sign me up for the Crusade!!
