Because the perverts and deviants see this as a tool to attack religion and pave the way for "acceptance"?

Will never happen.
Twenty five years ago, they were humbly begging for tolerance; that is all I am willing to give them, otherwise, back in the closet!

While perhaps not up to standard in form, placement or timing, an interesting question nonetheless.

While I would like to hear from those with far greater understanding than myself, I assume since God blessed us all with free will, were he to come to us all directly before we have committed to him we would be less likely to exercise that will. Of course Adam and Eve did have direct contact and chose unwisely and that had great implications for all humanity, which may in itself explain the disconnect for nonebelievers.

Those of us who know Him, don't rely on intermediaries although there is value in meeting in His presence with those who are knowledgable of and can teach about His Word.

There was no need for you to FReepmail me with your response.

Did you check out BibChr's post and follow the links? Excellent information.

Rachel,
You probably don't feel very welcome based on the response you have received from us. That is due to two things: (1) the only post you have made is a vanity thread on the day you signed up, and (2) your post was a rather confrontational question that would tend to evoke a strong response.

At this point, you can engage in conversation or you can go away. As you should have seen by now, there were a couple of serious responses to your question from folks willing to engage in discussion with you. If you are interested in discussion, I hope you will engage in a keyboard conversation with them out in the open for all of us to see. If not, then this probably isn't the forum that you are interested in. Either way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. I hope you find THE answer to your questions, and I hope you find that answer in Jesus Christ.
