However, I did receive Christ as my Savior and lived the "cured, straight life" for several years. The truth is - my lesbianism NEVER totally disappeared...and many times I felt like a hypocrite going to church while still feeling attracted to women.<br />I am a member of an MCC church now...and have never been more happier or free. The homophobic churches feed people with the horror stories of some gay people. Some of us have lived dangerously (sexually speaking) and dabbled with drugs and alchohol...however this is a distortion. Many gay people are now living sober and clean lives, go to church and are monogomous. Can Christ truly set you free from sin? Yes....is that sin homosexuality or lesbianism...no. The fact is we are all sinners, but not because we are gay. We are sinners because we live our lives as if God does not exist..or because we do not know how great God's love is for each and every one of us. <br />If you are gay and want to change...then maybe God can do that change in you if you want it bad enough....but the truth for me is that I am a lesbian and I love God and I know that God loves me just as I am. I do not want to change to being straight. I know that God loves and accepts me just as I am and this is a truth that the churches need to realize. Love people as they are. Christ called his disciples to love each other period...and this would be the witness to the world, but the church is hung up on sex...sex...sex..and this is why so called "men of God" and conservative politicians keep falling and keep getting caught. If you live a lie...the truth always comes out. Better to out of the closet then to hide and be found out.<br />God does truly love each and every one of us, and all of us would find peace for our hearts and souls if only we opened up our lives and hearts to Christ.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16868348843036307411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-62974174054823523602010-05-23T20:31:16.893-07:002010-05-23T20:31:16.893-07:00Ok, a few points to make here.

So it means the inverse is true, God is an image of man. <br /><br />It's like they missed that lesson in math about a = b = c.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-17425705332708476192010-05-22T17:47:18.674-07:002010-05-22T17:47:18.674-07:00This would be laughable except that some of us hav...This would be laughable except that some of us have actually LIVED some of those scenes. The scene where he is in his room crying "why don't I just die" rang especially true: I can't even remember how many times I lived that scene as a teenager.Scott Amundsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-60651724329805723392010-05-22T16:48:03.070-07:002010-05-22T16:48:03.070-07:00In addition to being horribly bigoted, that's ...In addition to being horribly bigoted, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328034026300036704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-69997167583596718082010-05-22T15:04:57.601-07:002010-05-22T15:04:57.601-07:00I read somewhere this was originally written in 19...I read somewhere this was originally written in 1977, so the A.I.D.S. references must have been added to later editions of it.<br />It's pretty ludicrous, even by Chick standards.<br />It's too bad the sound was removed from part two of the live-action adaptation of it. I will say this: minus the horns and the pointy ears, the guy playing the devil is kinda hot.Bill Snoreply@blogger.com
