While pondering all the things that have been going on with the episcopal church I have come to a few conclusions about the matter.
1) While my title may appear like I am doing satire or comedy, I am not. I am really beginning to think that homosexuals would make better christians.
2) While to most heterosexuals, christianity is a sidebar - something you do on Sunday, a way to keep me from hell, and if they are really serious they become politically active "fightin fundamentalists." But above all else they are something else besides christians whether it be american, or ad nauseuam of other attachments.
3) Not so with a homosexual. They are homosexual through and through. homosexuality is the lord of their lives. It effects everything they do. They do not go to homosexual meeting for an hour on sunday. They don't have to wear tshirts that say "Gay? Yeah!" - witness wear for everyone to know that they are homosexuals. They live the life. It effects their politics, food choices, clothes, spending habits, EVERYTHING. Whereas we may disagree morally with their way of life - they by far are less of hypocrites than we as "christians" are.
Before you blast me - or think that I am for the pro-gay agenda - read over again what I have written.
Posted by bran at August 13, 2003 02:53 PM | TrackBackA good reminder that Christians need to live what they believe. I think what you mean is that Christians can learn something from homosexuals about how your beliefs ought to permeate every aspect of your life. Am I right?
Posted by: RobU at August 14, 2003 11:27 PMYes totally. I am not advocating homosexual behavior at all. I have just realized how compartmentalized my life is( and christianity as a whole.) It has really been on my heart that Jesus came to start a movement - a revolution - not some social club. All other movements in history that have had a profound effect do so because of the very permeation of their beliefs into all areas of life.
