Everyone’s different, but his story’s probably worth noting:

I”ll meet you half way. You should be definitely be able to say that you’ve found that acting on those attractions has been destructive for you. But if you expand that to others and make universal assumptions about someone else acting on attraction, well then you opened up the judgment and can probably expect some back in return.

Fair ’nuff?

I still haven’t written my letter to Alan because I don’t think I’m able to communicate effectively about it yet. For once, I’m in total agreement with Michael on at least one point…the use of the words ‘sudden’ and ‘complete’. Not that it would change anything but, Warren, is there any way you can link to an audio of the radio ad?

Anon2–I appreciate your perspectives tremendously. I’m glad that you’ve learned that it’s YOUR path, YOUR journey. I hope you continue to contribute here.

I keep feel like I’m forgetting to say something but there’s a blinking icon on my taskbar that is demanding my attention. Later….

Lets promorte a Christian revolution, support the Christian counter-culture, be radical and extreme for Jesus Christ. Blah, Blah, Blah. I don’t want an extreme buddy Jesus, I want a principled ethical Jesus. I have more respect for wacked out fundies than I do for the kind of people who try to make Christianity ‘relevant’. At least the fundies have the sincerity of their convictions. These people don’t even have that. If you want to cure gays to protect biblical inerrancy, just say that. Don’t beat around the bush and talk about revolutions. Last I checked, homosexuality wasn’t a small Latin American country that evangelicals wanted a coup in.
