I'm not religious but I believe in God and I do believe that having a faith and trust in His Son Jesus to save us from our sins matters the most. This video is appalling , to think children are taught to foment hatred and animosity at this age. <BR/>God forgives all people who repent---no matter what or who they are. This church is about "condemnation" and that only God can condemn . They have no right to condemn others for condemnation is to be judged by God.<BR/>God taught us to love---to love unconditionally and to love even the "unloving". There is nothing in the Bible that says God hates such ---he only hates the ungodly but He is quick to forgive and forget to those who repent and ask for forgiveness.<BR/>Happy new year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257549946167799126.post-80699703245062752002008-12-24T11:32:00.000-05:002008-12-24T11:32:00.000-05:00Queenie Jeannie - Thank you for your kind words.

You asked what religion we are and what we think? I am a Mormon and I think this is the most disgusting display of hatred and misinformation I have ever witnessed. I feel so bad that you even had to read some of those signs. I feel bad for those kids who are taught this vicious hate filled crap by their parents. I believe that God loves us all. And this has to break his heart. I believe everyone should have the right to live their lives the way they choose...and so I guess they have the right to be this way. But I also believe that for every sick, uneducated, unenlightened human being out there...there are 100 who are loving and decent and accepting. Now I think I need to go take a shower to wash away what I just saw!nikkicrumpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127473424859610429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257549946167799126.post-88728413956293928242008-12-23T17:27:00.000-05:002008-12-23T17:27:00.000-05:00A Free Man - It's scary but it's good to know that...A Free Man - It's scary but it's good to know that there are people out there who don't feel that way.Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204517270931392713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257549946167799126.post-90718584324148516832008-12-23T17:21:00.000-05:002008-12-23T17:21:00.000-05:00Oh, for fuck's sake.

When I see shit like this I'm no longer surprised about the gay marriage bans in CA and FL, I'm surprised that any states every got rid of sodomy laws. Who are these people, where do they come from and why does homosexuality make them so crazy. Why can't people mind their own fucking business? <BR/><BR/>Your distinction between God and religion is a good one.

It really makes me sick. I was so upset, I didn't realize my children were watching it.<BR/><BR/>I was raised in a religious family, but a family who didn't "hate". I was raised in a very tiny church, lots of different ministers in and out because it is so tiny. My father did suprise me last year. I guess their new minister had some things to say about "gays". My father was NOT happy. He told me that people couldn't help the way they were born. He was very fustrated with the minister. Now while I wasn't taught to hate, I still think my father back in the day probably had some not so nice veiws. It is nice to see how a 70 plus year old man can change. Made me very proud of him.<BR/><BR/>While I am religious, there are things in the bible that I do not get. I do believe in a God, but I also believe that we should treat others with the respect we desire.<BR/><BR/>I also fill so sorry that those children don't have a chance to be good people.WheresMyAngelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846463631273691864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257549946167799126.post-37302591083703285512008-12-22T16:13:00.000-05:002008-12-22T16:13:00.000-05:00Kat - Currently I am the only BITS (Brother in the...Kat - Currently I am the only BITS (Brother in the Sauce) over at the Secret is in the Sauce.

Thanks for coming by my blog - and I love now knowing who Preston is - for when you are singled out on SITs (thanks ladies and Preston :-)<BR/><BR/>And this post. Wow! We are a Christian family. Living here in the deep south. And I always feel like I need a disclaimer. That yes I am a Christian. But not one of <I>those</I> Christians.<BR/><BR/>And even yesterday when we went to church, I noticed for the first time - on the front door of the curch this rainbow of hearts with a cross in the middle - and the sentiment "reconciling through Christ."

I don't believe Jesus would ever condone such hatred. Not to mention that so many other things in the Bible have changed with the times (ex. Divorce now being acceptable, no longer condoning slavery, etc.) I don't understand why the views on homosexuality have not changed. They still cling to that old hatred and show no signs of evolving with the further enlightenment of society.<BR/><BR/>It saddens me to no end and is a large part of why I am no longer a Christian. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'll hop off my soapbox now. I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season.
