					<description><![CDATA[Wow.  Suffice to say that people will interpret scripture differently than you James J.   I doubt you and I would agree on scipture.  I doubt that all the people in one denomination will agree on scripture - it is a very personal relationship between one person and God.    It is for you to decide and interpret how you will live.   And in the end it is between you and your God and no one else.



Your fight is with yourself - not with others.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[concerned wrote,



&lt;em&gt;That is assuming that you know what it is that the religion is really saying about you. Perhaps it is your interpretation of what the religious group is saying that is faulty not the religion itself.&lt;/em&gt;



I&#039;ll make it very simple.



Anyone who says, &quot;homosexuality is a sin&quot; will watch me punch holes in their faith and slaughter every single one of their sacred cows.  Every sacrament, every precious religious belief, will be relentlessly and mercilessly mocked in front of their eyes and in front of their sky god.  My primary weapon will be the Bible and I will remain firmly grounded in scripture in everything I write.



Don&#039;t like it?  Then immediately drop the &quot;homosexuality is a sin&quot; thing.  Otherwise, LET&#039;S FIGHT!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[J. James--

That makes sense if you&#039;re going after a particular denomination or a specific local church, but if the only thing you know about these attackers is that they are Christians, won&#039;t you end up attacking a lot of people who don&#039;t subscribe to the offensive viewpoint? Many of the gays who blog here are professed Christians and deeply religious; if you simply attack religion, you would be attacking them and their beliefs as well unless you found a way to make your attacks more targeted...more precise. (I&#039;m not militaristic, but a direct hit is generally more effective than a &#039;scatter bomb&#039;.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The way to make this better for gay people is to aggressively attack the religion of those who want to do us harm.  If they say, &quot;You&#039;re attacking our religion!&quot; then that means we&#039;re on the right track.



Think about it.  If the &quot;objection&quot; (namely, &quot;gays are evil and should be destroyed&quot;) is based in their religion, then shouldn&#039;t we attack the problem at its source?]]></description>
