Excellent point Mollificent! Can you imagine network executives mulling over the idea to have a gay man select his partner on a game show??

Why not just live and let live? I respect folks that make their religious beliefs known in an effort to get people to "Hear the Word" kinda thing. It's when it gets to the point of, "I'm right and you're wrong and if you want to get to heaven, you better follow me, doing as I do" that I get off the bandwagon. I believe that when the Judgement Day comes (if in fact there is such a day), I'll be judged more on how I treated my fellow man/woman while I was here. If there is no such thing as a judgement day? I'd rather look back on a life filled with respecting my neighbor and his/her direction in life, chosen or not, than to look back on a life of pitying or hating people for not agreeing with me.

During a similar discussion a friend of mine once said, "I don't need the pressure of thousands of people going to hell 'cause I made the wrong choice and they all followed me!!!!"
