Do that. I take your “LOL’s” the very same way. 🙂

I didn’t need the reminder…was fully aware of that when I posted to his attention. Since your most recent posts to me were rather harsh in tone, I’ll take this latest one as a sarcastic jab and ignore the smiley face.

Warren–

Please honor your most recent post and shut this puppy down. I was in the midst of drafting a comment when I saw your appeal for us to let it go and I scrapped my comment. I thought you meant all of us–Michael included.

I know you didn’t say ‘shut down’ but I hope that, at the least, you’ll put all new comments into moderation and decide if they are worthy of getting through.

God, I sure hope so!!! I think I know now why David used the words he did. I feel like I have been trying (for over a day now) to take off the “ugly clothes” of “liar, twister and game-player” or the “ugly clothes” that I believe that ALL fundamentalist Christians are homphobic, woman-hating racists. I deeply resent it. It is not true. It is not fair.

I am frustrated, angry, fed up. I stand by what I said as (1) TRUTHFUL, (2) that SOME of the negative opininion held by BOTH sides is EARNED and (3) that no one can “make you” wear something that is not true — no matter how hard they try.

I think this thread has gone on long enough on what Michael means and what he doesn’t. I don’t see much new coming out of it.

The leaders of Exodus probably need to deal with this directly. I don’t think they believe that a believing Christian who is homosexual miss heaven. But we can speculate all day. If someone wants to write and ask, that would be great. Otherwise can we move on?

I don’t know why you feel you have been going around in circles. My point has been OBVIOUS and REPETIVE — at least it seems that way to me. I don’t think people are “made to” wear the ugly clothes and SOME — SOME, SOME, SOME, SOME, SOME, SOME — of it IS deserved. Are you completely THICK or just trying to seem like it?

The quote is accurate. I have no reason to ask the reporter to change it. I would give him the same answer if he were in the room with you and me right now. He asked very specific question on how Alan Chambers and I differed — whether or not it was “mainly Biblical” — a question of the moralityof gay sex, not a question of orientation change. I said yes. I accurately described Exodus’s position on the sinfulness of gay sex. That was the focus of his question and of my answer.

He said, “They seem to admit that they don’t make people straight, but they think gay sex is sin — and you don’t right?” I said “Yes, they seem to be admitting that otientation does not change and I give the credit for being more honest about that.” I also said, “Yes, they believe that if you don’t repent of it that you are risking eternal damnation and I don’t ” No spin. No lie. Nothing inflammatory. It IS what Exodus believes. That’s what he asked, that’s how I answered. It’s TRUE and I stand by it.
