What did I say about "Christian gatherings" that isn't true? Don't people get dressed up to go to church? Don't services include "feel-good" praise sessions and forgiveness of sins? Don't many, if not most church congregations have big picnics where every family brings a dish?
And I'm not intolerant of people who don't agree with me. I become intolerant when I am insulted. I am perfectly willing to engage in thoughtful, open debate with anyone on this board who does not throw insults and prod me to start a name-calling contest.
The truth of this matter is that if a church wants to have a homo preach to them, they can and will. Those who don't like it will leave the church. Those who do like it will flock to the church. Some might even think that a homo might have a unique outlook on sin that might further qualify him or her for the position. The point is that you don't have to go to the homo church if you don't want to, hell, you don't even have to like it. You don't go to Islam services do you? And I know most posters on this board don't agree with Muslim teachings. What's the point of being intolerant if you aren't being forced to attend the homo's services?
Are you a golden rule follower?
