First I have to say that I am a Christian - and an evangelical. Please don't stop reading there...

What makes me sad is that as Christians, our greatest commandment (as given by christ) is to love one another as we love ourselves.

Does the Bible say that homosexuality is a sin? Yeah... does it say that lying is a sin? Does it say that greed is a sin? Does it say that gluttony is a sin? Does it say that adultery is a sin? Yes, yes, yes, yes....

My question is when did homosexuality become the token sin??? When did it get to the point that Jerry Falwell can stand in a pulpit and threaten to kill a gay man that looked at him - and get cheers from the congregation???

When I look at some Christians, all I see is foaming-at-the-mouth hate. Christ surrounded himself with the so-called "unsavory" and "misfits" and gasp! "sinners" as his disciples. I would feel QUITE safe betting my life's savings that his disciples and Christ himself, wouldn't be welcome in most evangelical churches.

?????? I just don't get it????? How are we supposed to demonstrate the love of Christ with all this hate????
