I'm confident most people here know other people's opinions and beliefs on the matter. Why do we have to keep having arguments (this discussion was not that argumentative but they're never fully peaceful anyway) about whether or not being gay is a sin or not? Have those meaningful, earnest discussions, sans public theatrics, in PM, open-minded or not. But I don't see the productivity in having continuous clashes on chat and now on threads. For the record, I don't find Luke's beliefs "offensive" at all. He doesn't agree with homosexuality. So what. He wasn't rude about it on this thread. I'm tired of people thinking they can't voice their disagreement and disapproval (respectfully, of course) because they don't want to "offend" or it's an "unpopular" belief. You guys can and should be open! If I can be open about being gay, you guys should be able to be open about disagreeing with it. I have no issue with that. Once everyone knows their respective opinions they can discuss in PM, perhaps, but otherwise they can continue existing on chat as perfectly peaceable human beings who don't view each other superficially in terms of their belief statements or sexual orientations.

Is it so hard to see a different opinion from yours and be able to approach it civilly and with grace? Lately I've noticed more people being caustic toward those who disagree with homosexuality. That's not right at all. And this is a reminder to those who think it is a sin to not be caustic to the other side either. You guys did okay in this thread from what I've read but it can get nasty on chat at times. Can we all coexist? Please? cri evertim
