'Here we go again' is right :-(

You've made your point over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. However, the rhetorical attacks you launch are not conducive to any kind of dialogue -- the message that comes across is that we must all repent and convert to your own personal religious convictions. I don't know if that is what you intend to convey, but the only apparent difference between you and Fred Phelps is the content of the message. I agree that there are Christian homophobes, but they are no more representative of Christians in general than baby-rapers are of boylovers. I know a man who has worked at an AIDS hospice caring for gay men who had no one else to be with them. His love for these men is palpable. He is an Orthodox Christian monk. He isn't there to convert them, he is there simply to show them the love that every human being is entitled to by virtue of being a child of God. Of course, as long as you remain convinced that we hate you unless we agree with your ideas, you will never be able to accept our love and acceptance of you. And that's a pity, Jim, it really is. Dirk
