Dear Jim, It's been a few days since I last looked in on the BLF, so I hope my response to your repeated question is not too far behind the times -- you've certainly had replies. Am I reading you rightly? Is there something deeply significant in your openly "NOT Christian" stance in this or any "Christian" forum (regardless of the theme, be it "boylove" or "things you can do with a couple bits of wood")? Or is there something cynical mixed in with your question? Are you wanting to be approved of, or seeking opportunity to mock at the superstitious claptrap of fundamentalist Christians? Regardless of what language I might put around my ideas and ideals, anything and everything relating to love involves mutual trust and mutual acceptance of responsibility. The range of possible behaviors which might stem from my sexual attraction to other males ought always to be motivated and governed by love. And this is true, regardless whether my involvement is casual, recreational, or an integral part of a deeper and/or longer-term relationship. Each of us -- boylovers, Christians, homosexuals, whatever -- "must accept the responsibility of expressing their feelings in ways that are beneficial to others, and . . . must accept their responsibility to be in fellowship with people who are different from themselves." |
