it seems that no matter how much we talk and how much we do, interaction with the gay community scares us, enrages us, maybe it should enliven us. i taught a 5-6th grade sunday school class once on sin and tried to make the point to the kids that GOD sees ALL sin as SIN and that some arent worse or less worse than others, yet when i mentioned this one the kid said it was a sin and worse than others. when i talk about it with adults it is clear that many evangelicals see homosexuality as the mother of all sins. why do we always need to categorizes everything? is it the capitalism we worship or is it something more basic in our dna. talked to a man once who runs an international ministry who is very outspoken against the gay community, well one day the leader of the local gay community meet with this man and asked him to stop targeting them and focus on adultery for a while. well the backlash from the christian community to my friend when he began to speak out about adultery was far worse than anything the gay community gave him. arent we just suppose to love others no matter where they are, what they believe, who they love? am i missing something, shouldn't the church be celebrating tammy faye's work instead of questioning it?
