Hi sis,
The following article is more strongly and sarcastically worded than I would if I was talking with you about this subject but it does, in a very pointedly direct way, present essentially the same argument, which no religious objector to homosexuality can refute with any degree of intellectual honesty. I refuse to use the word "hate". I regard it as carelessly overused hyperboly tho I do understand that reaction among my own tribe. No doubt there are those to whom it applies, but I know you and millions of decent christians are not among them. Trouble is, too many of those decent christians do not do the honest introspection presented by this article, and THEY give christianity a bad rap, which many christians do seem to have a penchant for (the Crusades, the Inquisition, religious wars, approval of slavery and recently, corruption of Constitutions as in California, many other states and President Bush...need I go on?). They take the Apostle Paul's admonition of the mind as a great deceiver much too seriously. We were given that mind to use, after all and if we didn't, we'd still be living in caves and beating our female mates into sexual submission. OH, that HAS gone far beyond the caves, hasn't it, and some religious fanatics apparently still believe in it!!.
