Jmfcst,
I am not a Christian, so I would like you to clarify something for me. If you accept homosexuals, are you a bad christian? I would like to hear your answer.
I wouldn't say it makes one a "bad" Christian. They've simply allowed themselves to be deceived. Not to mention that they are contradicting their own faith....if their faith is not defined by the bible, then what defines it? Did they invent their own religion?
Taking a purely logical point of view, contradicting one's own faith is contradicting one's self.
As a Presbyterian, I know I am already condemned by many evangelicals to a fiery afterlife by the fact that I was baptized as an infant and have a woman pastor. Yes, having a woman as pastor, wearing clothing of mixed material, not keeping strict kosher, eating shellfish and pork, working on the Sabbath (ah, the life of an airline employee), not making animal sacrifices to the Almighty, and being gay are all against scripture and all apply to me. On the other hand, I try to love the Lord with all my heart, soul and strength; and to love my neighbor as myself. Those were the important things given to us.
A lot of mainstream Christians get tired of evangelicals saying they're "not really Christian". This patronizing, "are you saved?" approach to religion will ultimately turn off a lot of mainstream Protestants and Catholics to the Republican party. It's already started in the North and Midwest, and I wouldn't be surprised if that same feeling started working southward into the cities and coasts of the deep South.
