my apologies for using "homosexual hatred" that was too strong of a choice and did not accurately reflect what I was trying to convey.
What I sense from you that my own intentions are suspect, and that you are scrutinizing my words to the point where you cannot see the forest for the trees.
I stated my beliefs in the post above and that's where I stand.
You seem to want to try to paint me into a corner and make a judgement on something that I feel I have no right to judge. What I can do is offer that it does not work for me and my lifestyle that is the ONLY judgement I am allowed to make.
I do not consider myself a religious man. I just try to live a righteous life. What *I* define as righteous, and try to be a good example for everyone else to look up to and emulate. I leave you with the one song from the folk masses that I used to love listening to because it represented how I feel I should be living my life:
Quote:
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
Chorus:
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
Chorus:
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
