I would just like to say that I am a Christian who does not believe in violence, and I don't think that homosexuality is "sinful" or whatever. I think that these "Christians" make us all look bad, but I try to accept people and love them how they are. I don't believe that homosexuality is a sin, because anyone can read the bible and translate what it means to support their beliefs. There may be some that are perverted, but that doesn't mean they're ALL like that. I am friends with several homosexuals that are nicer than many straight guys I've met, so please don't make "homo" jokes and such. It's just a way of life, and these people didn't deserve to die because of their sexuality.

I'm not sure how anyone can read the Bible and then say that homosexuality is okay, acceptable, not a problem with the Almighty. Heck, the first chapter of Romans alone condemns that, along with other sins, saying at one point that "those who practice these things are worthy of death." Maybe you can read something else into that, but it takes a lot of reaching to do so. The fact is, you accept homosexuality because you want to accept it. But most read the Bible, which is not written in some sort of "code," and come away with the same instruction that I have, which is to resist all forms of evil. That doesn't mean killing them, but it does mean "resistance." I'm truly regret it that you really can't see that. If you know so many homos, you might be the only Christian they know, and if you do not let them know that G-d forbids their lifestyle and wants them to accept Jesus as their personal savior, then you have failed to give them the central message that all believers are entrusted with.....
