Actively gay and "Christian" is an oxymoron. IMHO.
Maybe a religion "based" on Christianity.

Actually, the proper address is "The Good Reverend Fred Phelps." Don't you forget that next time.

Millions of actively gay Christians thank you for clarifying that this is just your opinion. My wife among them.

Just because I "say" I'm a white guy, that doesn't make me one. I can "say" I'm a dwarf, but my 6'6' height will give me away. Any gay "Christian" that reads the text that supposedly guides that religion and come to the conclusion that THAT religion is "accepting" of same sex romantic attraction is guilty of extreme denial, rationalization, or some other worse issue.

IMHO it would be like a black person claiming to be a member of the Klan.
(Even though David Chappelle had a hilarious skit of a black white supremacist.)

There is no such thing as a actively gay Christian. Homosexuality is a sin according to Christianity. Without repentance from your sin, you cant be a Christian, unless of course you make up your own religion, and call it Christianity.

Not in the teachings of my church - which is a mainstream Christian church.

Of course, we aren't so presumptuous and arrogant as to think that our church is the only valid religious point of view in the world.

We leave that kind of sophomoric one-upmanship to braintrusts like you.

Your church teaches that you dont have to repent of your sins???? Id run as far and as fast from that place as I could.


In other words, you dont believe in the bible. Hence you are not a Christian. To each his own. Why am I arrogant? Cause I believe what the bible says? Its not my fault you call yourself a Christian who doesnt believe in the teachings of Christ, or the bible. Or that is you pick and choose what you want to believe.

EVERYBODY does EXACTLY that.
Anybody who doesn't is roaming the streets screaming about "dirty pillows"
