I do not promote moral or cultural relativism. But I do not see it as a Christian's duty to continually blast in in their face that they are wrong. No, the Christian's duty is to present the Good News that we are ALL sinners in need of a Savior and that He has made satisfaction on the cross for us in our place! We need to take into consideration that many gay folks do not understand gayness as being wrong, and that it's sinfulness can only be revealed to them by Jesus through the Holy Spirit. They know that Christians believe gayness is wrong, they do not need to be told again and again and again. Sorry I am am a little off topic.

It's sad that some people have misunderstood the command of Jesus to love your neighbor as yourself. As a Christian, I have a responsibility to treat others with kindness, and that includes those whom I may disagree with morally. Rand503, I beg you not to judge Christianity by those who, by insulting you, fail to follow Jesus. I understand your pain in having been rejected by those posing as Christians. It certainly doesn't help that Hollywood promotes this judgmental, distorted view of Christianity. Jesus invites me, and invites you, to lay aside our deepest feelings, and come to Him to be transformed into His image. We all struggle with hurtful words people have said to us. Let us not spit venom at each other any longer, but let us come and try to understand each other.
