Hang on Ken, Melon has said repeatedly actually that he doesn't think it's choice. He thinks it's akin to mental illness.

Thunk let me ask you this, if man wanted to rent at a Christian B&B and a man came to rent a room with someone that an employee knew wasn't his wife would they turn them away? Would they be expected to? or would they more likely just say "it's none of our business"? Is the only difference what's more outwardly visible? As long as they don't APPEAR to be endorsing anything untoward. Could homosexuls use the service entrance if they promise not to make out at breakfest? You and I both know what this really comes down to: it makes good god lovin' folk feel icky to think some queers might be buttfucking in their establishment. Nothing more nothing less. You can take this a step further. My sister and I have travelled together on a few occasions. We share a hotel room when we do if it's just the two of us. If my sister and me showed up at a B&B to check into one room, how would the inn keeper know we were sisters? (we have different last names) Woud we be assumed to be lesbian lovers, and therefore turned away? Or could a gay couple just say they're siblings ... which of course would entail the sin of lying. |

I've been misunderstood often and many of the things I've said that addressed many of the things said here and many of the questions have been answered and/or addressed before. I'm positive I've never been this misunderstood before on these boards and there is a picture being painted of a different person other than me that doesn't even exist with these posts that appear since I was here yesterday. This used to make me frustrated as hell when things like this happen, but I'm not even shaken by it at the moment. Something miraculous happened in my spirit Easter Sunday and my faith is renewed like never before. It is my hope and prayer that you all will be at least surprised if not astonished at the answers I'm about to give to your questions and comments.

I have to start with this because it caught my attention the most. Kenny said:
I expect Melon to respond with some tough love of Christianity stock answer; that the love of God exists in fighting sin; that if gays were sincere and open they would see their rejection as a call from God to change their evil ways, etc.
Like I said, not shaken or stirred up by any means but really....really saddened by this. I'm disgusted that I have come across this way that THAT would be an expected response from me. And I painfully have to admit that I have actually projected such an expectation from one Kenny probably only a few weeks ago with my previous attitude. Never has it been so evident to me as now that I've been visiting these boards with too much anger, and venting it entirely too much about what I consider to be evil. The relieving and perceptive revelation that has set me free from my recent combatting of what I consider to be evil is what my mentor has told me before: "Jesus never said to curse the darkness. He said to let your light shine."
Thing is, we're trying to argue with someone who believes that homosexuality is either a choice or a mental sickness on par with pedophilia.
As Mantis already said, I've said many times that I believe that homosexuality is certainly NOT a choice any more than any given fetish would be. Not saying that homosexuality should definitely be put in the same category with a mere fetish necessarily. Just an illustration. I'm perhaps even more saddened that Kenny believes I put homosexuality "on par" with pedophilia. I'm drawing a blank as to when I ever suggested that. Although I do remember mentioning them in the same post, but if I remember right, I was pointing out a downward spiral giving my opinion that if homosexuality is accepted now, possibly pedophilia will eventually gain more sympathy and maybe even be granted less harsh sentences. Of course, it would never be accepted as homosexuality currently is. I don't think the world will ever become that bad, believe it or not.

I'm convinced somehow that my posting here today isn't a waste of time and that I'm actually being prodded by the Spirit to address these posts at the moment. Otherwise, I wouldn't continue this discussion as I told Chrisfan yesterday I certainly wouldn't do.
