I say this to you now, with as careful thought as I can muster given you are trying to antagonize me.
Take what you see as a good thing. I’m sitting here agreeing with you and everyone else that this is a horrible thing to want, and you’re here trying to lecture me on what i’m supposed to feel and be as a matter of faith? You come off as militantly atheist and as if you wish to pick a fight.
I’ve ignored you til now because you’re not worth it, but at the same time I feel you deserved a response. Take what you want from what I say. I’m far from perfect and prone to anger, so maybe you feel i’d be an easy target to goad into making it look like i’d bully you, or you simply feel ‘oh hey christian, why are you here? your kind is not wanted.’ Why shouldn’t you? the mods response when I asked them about your comment was ‘suck it up and ignore it.’ So maybe you felt like this was your home and you’d be shielded. Maybe you are.
This is my place too and I’ve been here for a long time.
I live with people that agree with this pastor, and it grieves me they do so not just because they are family, but because more simply it’s people glad that other people die. That is never the correct response or reaction. Believe what you will for what happens after, but death closes all doors on this earth we walk. Education is the answer to help newer generations not make the mistakes of their parents, but what of people so long in the tooth they wear their attitudes as a badge of honor?
I wish I had an answer, because I don’t like the sentiment I hear whenever gay rights or the suffering of those that are gay is on the news.
