[From a white male straight generic Christian] Will all you nominal Christians out there cool down a minute and think about what you are doing? In all the Gospel do you remember Jesus ever flaming at people? The closest thing I can remember is the clearing the temple incident, in which He was just a little put out over people treating religion with a business-as-usual attitude. (Are you listening Jim Bakker?) (Are you listening Oral Roberts?) (Are you listening Jerry Falwell?) (Are you listening Jimmy Swaggart?) Jesus only spoke to those who would listen, and he GENTLY rebuked those who sinned. Its not likely the gay people will want to listen to you, so rightly or wrongly please express your disapproval of the gay lifestyle *somewhere else* where it won't hurt people. Not hurting people is the bottom line. If you can't do this, your sins will weigh a lot heavier than those you hurt. Ben Cranston ...seismo!umcp-cs!zben zben@umd2.ARPA
