How would that make you feel having someone tell you something like that. How would you even feel about the thought of having sex with someone of the same gender?
Now how do you think your ridiculous intolerant attitude makes a gay person feel?

Actually, they can tell me anything they want to...it's a free country. I would expect them to give me some reasons for what they believe though, if they want to try to convince me of their point of view. Just a point of fact, I do not spend my time running around telling gay people that they are sinners. If you go back to my original post, you will see that what I had an issue with was Sperry's "god hates gays" comment. Do I think that homosexual behavior is a sin? yes I do, because my God says it is a sin. How does that make me to have a "ridiculous intolerant attitude"? Did it occur to you that, as a Christian, I am supposed to be intolerant of sin? Would you speak out against theft, lying, adultery, rape, murder? Of course you would. Are they sinful behaviors? yes they are. God included homosexuality in with that list of sins (along with many others). I am not going to stop seeing homosexuality as a sin just because many people don't agree with me (or God for that matter). You dissagree with my beliefs...doesn't that make YOU intolerant?
