I am SO sick and tired of these idiots that use the phrase "hate the sin, not the sinner" to justify their intolerant, homophobe, bigotist remarks!!!
I myself am not a homosexual, so I can't speak for them directly, BUT I highly recommend that you go to this website and read the TRUTH about homosexuals!!
fallwell.com
It's time for us Christians to stand up and REJECT and DENOUNCE this bigoted view from the "Christian Coalition" and start DEFENDING our brothers and sisters!!! The following are just a few of the quotes from the "Christian Coalition" that are just totally unacceptable:
-------
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." -- Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992
--------
"Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals -- the two things seem to go together."
-- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, January 21, 1993, ignoring the fact that the Nazis killed homosexuals as ruthlessly as they did Jews
---------
"I have known few homosexuals who did not practice their tendencies. Such people are sinning against God and will lead to the ultimate destruction of the family and our nation. I am unalterably opposed to such things, and will do everything I can to restrict the freedom of these people to spread their contagious infection to the youth of our nation."
-- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, May 24, 1994
-------------
"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."--Randall Terry, Founder of Operation Rescue, The News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana, 8-16-93
------------
"I am absolutely persuaded one of the reasons so many lesbians are at the forefront of the pro-choice movement is because being a mother is the unique characteristic of womanhood, and these lesbians will never be mothers naturally, so they don't want anybody else to have that privilege either."
-- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, May 28, 1993

It makes me sick!! I'll just end with these two quotes that I STRONGLY support:
"The millions of Christians in this country reflect just about every conceivable political point of view. For one highly conservative group to proclaim itself 'the Christian Coalition' strikes me as decidedly un-Christian arrogance.... We reflect countless races, religions and lifestyles, and we often differ on questions of morality and behavior. The only way so diverse a nation can survive is by all of us practicing a high degree of tolerance. But tolerance is not the way of the Christian right. Its leaders want to impose their one-size-fits-all morality on everyone. It won't work. When any group tries to impose its values on everyone else, the result will inevitably be resentment, hatred and violence."
--Senator Warren Rudman
--------------
"Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves" (1 Cor. 5:12-13).
