					<description><![CDATA[Michael, 



I think your comment must be pertaining to the atrocity in Tel Aviv in which gay youths were killed,  not the atrocity in Pakistan in which Christians were attacked.



Wrong thread?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mission America asks:&lt;blockquote&gt;“Are those who bravely stand up against the deviance of homosexuality—which violates the dignity and worth of those involved -- responsible for all crime against those drawn to the lifestyle? This kind of bigotry has no place in a civilized society and is wildly irresponsible, unjust and inaccurate.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;



No, those who &quot;bravely stand up against the deviance of homosexuality&quot; are not responsible for all crime against gays.  Maybe none of it.  And yes,  It would be &quot;wildly irresponsible, unjust and inaccurate&quot; to blame them for all of it.    We don&#039;t know what motivated these shootings.  Maybe homosexuality had nothing to do with it.



But maybe just a little part of anti gay sentiment is inflamed by the message that says gays all have an &quot;agenda&quot;, are &quot;anti-Christian&quot; and that they are psychologically and morally inferior to straights.  Or maybe those who already hate gays just use that message as justification for their violence.



I have seen signs at Gay Pride events that say, &quot;Suffer not a sodomite to live&quot;.  Of course, this is a hateful fringe -- and not representative of real Christians.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And another  correction (dang, I should have proofread):



Spelling errors:&lt;blockquote&gt; It’s leader, perhaps? It’s headquarters, perhaps? It’s congregation&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Should be &lt;em&gt;its&lt;/em&gt;, not &lt;em&gt;it&#039;s.&lt;/em&gt;]]></description>
