Truly one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen. He reaffirms my faith in humanity.

He actually does love everyone, it says in the bible to hate sin, not sinners. Trust me i went almost 20 years not believing in God or Jesus and he loved me, stuck by me, and believed in me when the feeling wasnt mutual. If God does that for when when i am just a man, i know he does that for everyone.

this is great! my boyfriend and I went here expecting it to be a right-wing, gay-hating monument to christian extremism. but, that's not what we found, or what we ended up coming away with. it is one of the first truly accepting religion-based experience we have had as a couple. he definitely practices what he preaches, and makes work about and from that. an amazing experience, awesome place and a great guy. im glad you documented this well.
