A video with a great message that got me choked up...

I believe I'm friendly to everyone--at least I try to be--even when people aren't friendly to me. (And I guess this makes it 7 out of 9 posts now)

I don't accept this line of argument, because it leads to nihilism. By this logic, a homosexual can never criticize a heterosexual, because he's not one; a black man can never criticize a white man, because he's not one; a woman can never criticize a man, because she's not one. All you end up with is everyone being their own little island with no "real" connection to anyone else. It may work for Sartre, but it doesn't work for me.

Tinker, thank you for your thoughtful reply. Of course, you are right. Gossiping alienating, belittling someone does not help him and is wrong, and is certainly NOT the Christian thing to do. I guess what I took issue with was when you stated that they should have supported his lifestyle choice. I think that's asking too much.

Mark, YOU chose to visit the gay and lesbian board on the DIS. That said, posting thoughts that are clearly intended to hurt and disrupt an otherwise open discussion aren't tolerated. If you like to discuss this further, PM me and I would be more than happy to do so.

For that matter, creating an alias DIS screen name in order to stir the pot is also against guidelines.

You agree to the guidelines when you joined the DIS. Stick to them.

I'm not going to get involved in the argument, because I'll only get myself in trouble, but I just wanted to thank the OP for posting that video. I liked it.

Don't forget, Mods can see who you really are, even if you create an alias!
