Ok, I get it [View all]

It isn't all the christians who want to lock up or murder gays, it isn't most, but just a few.

I also understand with the media "if it bleeds it leads" and a minister saying things like that is going to make the headlines.

Sadly, if a church had a "gay day" to show unity with the gay community it wouldn't be covered unless Phelps showed up to protest.

But, I have no doubt many if not most churches do teach that gays are going to hell. This is apparent by the fact that only a few denomination have decided to allow openly gay people to be members, and even fewer to be ministers.

However, considering the few who hate us so much that they want us killed or locked up, and the many who feel we are sinners, sexual perverts and don't deserve the same rights as all other American Citizens, why is it so bad if we exhibit any anger toward the church?

For the last several weeks, since the NC vote, I keep hearing christians defend the church (even on this website) how Jesus taught love and loves everyone. Well, if I remember the bible says something about you will be known by your fruits, well it doesn't take threats of murder and incarceration or signs which says "god hates homosexuals" for your fruit to be rotten.

Yes, some do accept the gay community, but those few ripe fruits don't make up for the rotten ones. Most farmers would call the crop a total loss.
