When the Christian Right claims it doesn't hate show them this

But you are not “gay.”

Yes, you may be physically attracted to people of the same sex, but how you act on those attractions is entirely your choice. Who you are – your identity – is not defined by your sexual feelings, temptations or behaviors. The difference between who you are and what you feel or do is as the difference between night and day.

Here is who you are: You are a wonderful, beautiful, precious human being created in the image and likeness of the one righteous and Holy God of the universe.

You are priceless.

But you are flawed – you are a sinner.

I am flawed – I am a sinner.

We are all flawed sinners – corrupted beings in a corrupted world. We are all tempted by sin.

Those temptations manifest themselves in different ways for each of us. We are all on equal footing, however, as to how we react to those temptations.

Homosexual behavior is always wrong – demonstrably and absolutely wrong.

God’s word also says that when we sin sexually, it’s particularly egregious because our bodies are the temple of Christ. This separation from God – a natural result of sexual sin – can lead to depression and even despair.

If you feel such despair, know this: it is not “homophobia” causing it, as adult enablers might tell you, but, rather, it is the sin itself that causes it (or struggling alone, absent Christ, with the temptation to sin).

You are being used. Adult homosexual activists with a political agenda are using you as a pawn to achieve selfish goals in a dangerous political game.

You’re just a means to an end.

They may have convinced themselves otherwise, but they don’t care about you. They don’t love you. They can’t. Their version of “love” is built on lies. It’s devoid of truth.

And you are a horses ass.

Sorry for the sensitive types that might read this, but any supposed all knowing, all loving god that would intentionally create flawed beings merely so they could play a moralistic game the aforementioned god set up in the first place just so he could watch them fail is not a god worthy of respect, much less worship.


Sorry, but Christianity is a seriously flawed philosophical dictum.

Holding to the conviction that the god of Abraham and Isaac is a real thing is intellectially primitive thinking.

Condemning behavior they aren't tempted to copy as the worst sin in the world is perfectly natural to them. Pointing their fingers at other people is exhilarating. Their own sins pale in comparison.

Oh, and you know they're always right about everything. They are the most certain people on the planet.

Spare us. Please bring the Rupture so they all get sucked up onto clouds and we're finally rid of them.

I would tell them that Jesus (we are told at present-could change) was not married. Maybe he was gay!!!
The worst part -they even admit in the dear teen letter that Jesus never mentions anything about homosexuality per their scripture available.
It is all their own current cult hate talk.
I hope no teens, gay or straight ever read that sick abusive letter

Fundies seem to wallow in Gnostic abhorrence of sexuality. It's a wonder they enjoy sex enough to replicate their sorry asses.
