I have never posted on the Gay and Lesbian Forum, for one never had a reason, and for the reason I didnt feel I had a right to be here. But after passing by on the way to the DVC forums, I couldnt help but notice the Jesus Loves Me out to the side of recently posted(sorry, not very computer savvy

)not sure what you call that little sidebar.
I watched the trailer and for a long time as a Christian have realized that homosexuals as a group arent accepted into religous communities.
I live in the south where prejudice towards all kinds of folks is alive and well. Heck, it is that way all over the USA.
My parents raised me to not be so ignorant to group people together, white, black, hispanic, male, female, homosexual or heterosexual, etc. But rather to take people as individuals. I wish all people were that way, but the only ones I can really influence are my kids to be that way.
I am of Baptist faith(which I dont really like to admit, afterall it is a manmade thing and nothing really to be proud of). In fact I am trying to rid myself of any kind of religous tie other than being one of Jesus followers. If I get flamed, well thats the chance I take.
So here goes..JesuslovesALLofus. And He wants the best for us. I try to get the point across that Jesus didnt hang with snoots of His day, He hung with thiefs, murderers, prostitutes and the like, people whom we just as soon wash our hands of in todays society like they did back in Jesus time. I hope people will accept me as who I am, an overweight washup of a homebuilder. Believe me, I dont hang with the snoots either.
Im not trying to preach. I have friends who are homosexual. I have clients who are homosexual. I try my best not to judge them. But I tell them the same things I say here. Jesus loves you just as much as He loves me, and just as much as He loves my neighbors.
As my dad told me growing up, who died and gave us the right to judge
