When you keep on throwing in all of these "What you expect"s, it comes across with a certain level of famewhoring.
Point taken, CF, but I don't believe you had to put it in such a harsh, condescending way. Calm down please. Let's be a little friendlier than in the past if you don't mind.

You forgot a few experiences you've had with gay people T. You interact with gay people on these threads.

So please tell me - how do you share the love of God with those you refuse to reach out to?Chris, I've met a number of lesbians before, one that I worked with for about a week and a half before she left(so I barely got to know her). I've only known to gay guys in my life. The first I hung out with a few times. Then I found out he was gay, but didn't avoid being around him after finding out. The second that I might is my testimony to you of how I treat homosexuals. His nickname was "Turtle". For some reason, he never told me his real name. We met once. He ended up inviting me to his house where we talked about music a bunch. He was a deadhead. Later that night he approached me with the question of what I thought about gay marriage, since, he said, it was such a big issue at the time. I told him what I thought, having no idea that he was gay, and then after finishing my opinion on it, he informed me that he was gay. My initial reaction:"Lord, what would you have me do?" And what the Lord ended up having me do was to befriend the guy and get to know him. I often went to Wal-Mart where he worked and walked around the place with him while he dustmopped. I made him a mixed tape. I invited him to my house a couple of times. I even went to a movie with him. Did you hear that? Shocked, are you?  From time to time I planted seed hoping that God would send another to water it later. God did say,"My word does not come back void," ya know. I accepted him as a friend. I didn't shove my beliefs on him. I learned about his past, what he was all about and basically had a good time hanging out with the guy. I left him, hopefully but not likely, with the ponderance that Jesus might be the real thing. I did all the Lord commanded me to do and I had to relocate, so I haven't seen him again. Unfortunately, I've no way to keep up with him since I don't even know his first name. Anyway, Chrisfan, I can understand how all that might be quite a surprise to you because of the way I've come out against the gay agenda on these boards and what I consider to be the "enemy's deception" on the issue. But hopefully that gives you an idea of how I treat gay people. Now, all that being said, if he wanted to bring his gay lover to my house and make out in front of me, sit on each other's laps and all, I would ask that he didn't out of respect to my beliefs. And, believe it or not, I'm not 100% sure that I'm right about that. I believe that and all that I've posted recently at the moment, but I'm not completely immovable about certain parts of it (i.e. not allowing gays to show affection in my home or at Christian B&Bs). Hopefully this was a refreshing post for you to read, Chrisfan. Was for me anyway. See you in a different "light." That made my whole day right there. Thanks, patlogi.  |

You forgot a few experiences you've had with gay people T. You interact with gay people on these threads. True, Chrisfan, and it's necessary that you bring it up. My agenda against the gay agenda has been hurtful to certain gays on these boards because it came about with a hostile, often sarcastic, attitude. I was letting what I consider to be evil in the world get the best of me while all along God has been saying,"Be anxious for nothing." My approach now, after my experience with the Lord Sunday, is much different, as I hope is evident to you. |

Wondering if the light pat now sees you in is the same one that crossed my mind after reading that post. Almost as if you took pity on the guy. Planting the seed with the poor lad in hopes he’d eventually though god change his horrid ways. How mighty big of you.  |

I'll have to get to the Rosie O'Donnel cruise post later. Don't really have time as I want to see some of the other boards here today before I go about my business of showing the love of Christ to homosexuals in my area.  |

Man you really don't get it do you. I think you should put it "accept it" rather than "get it." Do I accept the modern view of homosexuality? No. |

No, you don't get that you're treating homosexuals like little retarded children instead of like people, which is possible even you disapprove of their lifestyle.

Melon is a man set in his ways. Nothing you nor I can say will sway him from that faux vantage point. I refuse to even try. Why waste the time?

To tolerate doesn't mean to accept ...
To respect doesn't mean to adhere ...
Civility as much as possible most of the time ...
