Any further comments using hatred to make their point will be deleted. You should be able to make your point without using hatred, this is what discourse on the side of love is all about.

We need more ministers like him to speak up against the fundamentalist voices of prejudice and literalism. Jesus never said anything against Gay people. That's how important it was!

Rob is an articulate, soulful and wonderful man. We're lucky to have him as a UU!

I truly from the bottom of my heart dont feel like this is a sin... and i feel sickened by the people whom try to preech it as one, 7out of 10 people whom dont go to church anymore do so because they feel their church is hateful bigoted close minded etc.... THIS IS WRONG people are turning from god because of hateful fake prophets whom represent him... GOD=LOVE so lets spread it

so i guess when Jefferson Davis argued that slavery was permissible because God sanctions it in the bible...you were ok with that...because we cant rip that out of the bible...

I guess its clear. Those pesky christian abolishonists that argued against slavery had to abandon that part of the bible...

It wasnt the bible that changed. It was us. It was christians who had to change christianity because they clearly saw an aspect of immorality that "the word of god" allows for.
