OPINION: What Church Leaders Should Know About Homosexuality

    Interesting.

    I have to admit, I originally read this article so that I could absolutely destroy the author, and suggest that we should "cure" religious people instead. However, after reading, I find his motives to be sincere. He really wants to help those homosexuals who are also religious, and find great conflict within themselves. He's trying to help them resolve that conflict. As long as people go to him willingly, and he's not using coercion or force, especially of the government variety, to attract people, I really don't have a problem with him.

      Softening up are we?

      This is an excellent article and puts much in perspective. It has opened my eyes.
      I would suggest that you take each scripture quoted and read the scripture before and after it.
      We (folks in the religion ilk) like to take a single line or part of a sentence to make a point. When we are really taking it completely out of context.
      Example - in psalms find "Be still and know that I am God"
      Read the entire psalm.

      I have learned to interpret scripture with scripture.

      Excellent Read.
      Eye opening
      Also, I opening
