...one thing not debatable about the Bible is that Christians (like myself) need to behave lovingly towards other people, regardless of whether or not we agree with their opinions or practices.

Cool I like it!

@pennypyro42 completely agree!!!

@123rekrap The mistake is with those who believe these two things are mutually exclusive.

LK: "Was there a realization?"

JK: "When I fell in love with a beautiful woman."

How can we judge this? No one should ever be forced to choose between love for her partner and love for her God.

Boswell proved in the 1980s that homosexuality is not condemned by the bible or the early church at all.

@pennypyro42 If everyone could share your simple yet important sentiment, the world would be such a better place. I'm a Musliim and I think that hateful people come in all colors and faiths...the key is to not let them dictate our lives. We can lead by example and be more tolerant of all folks :)

Well clearly that is debatable, since millions of people have been killed and millions more denied rights on the basis of the Bible. That might be your own rosy interpretation, and I applaud you for it, but we cannot simply ignore hundreds of years of violence, bigotry, closed-mindedness caused by Christianity (that continues today) simply because a convenient "new" Christian movement wants to hold hands and sing kumbaya.
