It really seems to be the most problematic in fundamentalist groups.  Luckily I don't know anyone who is bashing gays anymore.  I feel blessed.   But I live between Chicago & Milwaukee and it is a very progressive area.

For those fundmentalist peoples.  I want to just ... love the hate right out of them

I sometimes wonder if I could love an angry redneck hitting me with a baseball bat or pointing a gun at my head. Maybe I would be unable to at that moment and self preservation would be my top priority, but I hope if nothing else I would succumb to the hatred that person would be showing. That attacker would already be a victim, and I would not want to sink to that level.

I heard someone on the radio this moring say there is a lot of healing in forgiveness. I just hope I don't have to forgive anyone.  ;)

It's a tough one but I DON'T DO IT, The One Who IS does it THROUGH me so it's much easier than it sounds.    From the blood of martyrs the church is purified.   So, I sure understand how difficult this would be if I were trying to do it myself!  I would probably cuss them out and run like hell~!  I HAVE had a gun pointed at me because I was in a gay neighborhood in Chicago but the police came out of nowhere and captured the criminals who were robbing an older man and his young companion.   The One Who Is was protecting me even then.  I'm sure of it.

Most of these difficult experiences that you mention always require a GIFT to even get through them...   I bet it's happened to you a hundred times and you were not even aware of it.

Knowing that I do not know what dangers I have been in at times really makes me feel strange, like I should be remembering it, and with fear.

Intellectually, that would be perfectly understandable~!  But Spirituality and our intellects aren't the same.   Think of how many times you have driven over a bridge.  A few months ago, one collapsed in Minnesota and killed a few people.   Normally, we have 'faith' that bridges work and don't even think about it.   Maybe you can see that from a new angle if you looked at that same 'trust' from a Spiritual standpoint?

Remember what I learned from my near-death experience:   NO FEAR   The One Who IS is Really Cool, dude~!  ::)
