That certain kind of Christian

what exactly does gay marriage have to do with the economy?

---

Well, it means about a quarter of a billion dollars to California. If same-sex couples got married at the same rate that they entered civil union in Vermont, the state of California would save about $250 billion in expenditures due to the fact that the citizenry would be considered joint rather than single.So if one is truly concerned about the economy, then one is in favor of equality in marriage.

Soulforce, led by the Reverend Mel White...ghost writer to Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, D. James Kennedy, Ollie North, and Pat Robertson.Rev. Dr. White is gay and got tired of the bigotry he was shilling for.

If he had had the courage of his convictions, yes.Or does "turn the other cheek" have an exception?

Was loving Jesus being hateful when he warned of Hell and the likelyhood that many will go there?

Yes, for as Jesus said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." No, that is not a claim that if you aren't guilty of what you are judging others for, you're safe. Everybody seems to forget that Matthew 7 continues on:Matthew 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.The moment Jesus said people risked hell, he condemned himself there.It is not for you to say, Buzsaw, anything about hell for you have no power over it, no control over god, and absolutely no comprehension of god's motives.

BZZZZT!Pascal's Wager! I'm so sorry, Buzsaw. Johnny, tell him what parting gifts he has!Well, Bob, Buzsaw has won himself a lifetime of anguish in someone else's hell! Yes, that's right. After spending all of his life fighting against Satan and worshipping the Christian god, Buzsaw gets a reward of going straight to Hades for his hubris. He'll be sentenced to solve a series of puzzles for which the instructions can be read in many ways. Every attempt to glean more information will be met with "Since it would just be a waste of my time to tell you, I won't." Of course, every proposed solution will conflict with something in the contradictory instructions. This being for his continued insistence that those around him are unworthy of explanations.But, he won't get hungry because he'll have an afterlife-time supply of Rice-a-Roni®, the San Francisco Treat.You didn't really think that the god that truly exists is the Christian one, did you?

We are to do to others as we would have them do to us.

And that means not judging. The moment you do, you condemn yourself to the same fate. The moment you declare that someone else risks hell, you condemn yourself there.How can you remove the mote in your brother's eye when there is this great plank in your own?
