...its seems that it's mostly gays who are compasionate enough to dedicate their life to God's work.

Excuse me?

Do you think Eric Liddle (Chariots of Fire) who died in prison in China wasn't compassionate? (never mind that the actor who portrayed him died of AIDS)

Do you think Jim Elliott who was speared to death by the Auca Indians wasn't compassionate? When he was 22 he wrote in his journal "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep for what he cannot lose."

Do you think Stuart Royster who died from a poisoness snake bite in the jungles of Columbia wasn't compassionate?

Giving yourself in a life of service to the God of the Ages is one of the most masculine things a man can do.

I didn't want to have to get into the issue, but I was refering to the fact that a vaster percentage of gays wish to dedicate their lives to God than heteros. Just meant to point this out, so people might think of them as Good men, not corrupt or sick, as a whole.

Although off topic, I don't think those missionaries where not compassionate, however I do believe putting themselves unecessarly in harms way, to convert peoples who obviously don't want to be converted was less than noble.

Once again I don't want to start anything, so don't give me any "You don't think dying for God is noble", plz.
