>>The fact that Biblically sanctioned anti-gay (anti-human) rhetoric was permitted, while anti-Sharon gov was heavily criticised is silly. Coat hangers, handicapped kid and 3 legged frogs were expressions of gross ignorance, and deserve no further comment....<<
I didn't see any anti-human/anti-gay rhetoric here. Sure anti-gay, but as an unacceptable behavior not as a anti-human thing. God loves all people but he's clearly intolerant to sin. And it's clear as to what he says in the bible about homosexual behavior. Contrary to what mtnlady has said I believe it is wrong--see my previous post. I think classifying the recent anti-gay posters here as anti-human would be a gross malignment of the truth, but perhaps I didn't read them all or correctly. I think that the gross ignorance comes into play when a person puts scientific knowledge over and above divinely revealed knowledge because of distastefulness, uncomprehendiblities, and/or other biases. As I see it (my scientific veiw point) homosexualality is often a complex, misunderstood and deep rooted problem that does present great challenges. I disagree with those who claim that it is bad to attempt to change it and akin it to left-handedness/right-handedness.
Christ came for those who are sick...prostitutes, tax collectors, and sinners.
