but you won't hold up a sign saying he is going to hell....you will have some manners..and compassion

Exactly Jess, I am going to hold up a sign saying This Faggot Forgives You.

Now resisting the temptation to spray roundup on his grave is another thing......

Truman you cant talk common sense to people like that..believe me I know.  It just doesnt penetrate...
Don't waste your precious time. 
       

I think that some form of positive engagement needs to be directed at them, they are telling me I am something I am not, I feel obligated to show them I am wrong. Not put no whole lot of effort into it, but plant a seed, you never know what might happen, in that fertile bullshit it hould germinate.

I agree with you, Truman, about the positive engagement.  One of your posts hadn't been deleted on youtube last night, and I tried to reply to it, but they never sent my activation email.  I'll try again today.  People have the capacity to change and grow.  And I think one of the best ways to make a lot of these people think twice about their homophobic beliefs is to introduce them to someone they think they hate.  It's a lot harder to hate when you put a human face to an idea - and a lot harder to be afraid too - when they discover 'Hey, he's a pretty good guy.'  Baby steps...

I see myself writing this and I am such a hypocrite.  I owe cousin Danny a phone call, don't I??

Uh, scuse me but if he had read his Bible he'd know that Jesus was gay.

I'd let him know but I can't bring myself to join another website just now.

Oh Now!
I don't think Jesus was gay or straight.
It doesn't matter anyway. He taught us to love one another that only through Gods grace are we, the imperfect, made perfect. That goes for the lowliest criminal to the most exalted religous figure.
No one is more worthy or deserving of Gods grace than another.

Well we all do what we can to make our lives comfortable. And we should. If your not confronting him is at a point you are uncomfortable about it, by all means. I'll be there for you when you do.

Jesus was a human being.  He was something.

Jesus was a human being.  He was something.

But he is also the living God.
While being fully human,he was sinless. I think he was above sexuality.

The he wasn't fully human.

That is it, if we could all just do that, what a world it would be. With that in mind it is not a far streatch to hear John Lennon's words:
