I would just like to point out that Christ's teachings are pure in simplicity. Christ taught to love thy neighbor as thyself. So many Christians today are so against homosexuals trying to get married or any who has a drug problem. Christ did not teach us that it is alright for us to make judgements of ANY kind on these people. He taught that all of humanity is connected through Gods love for them and for our necissary love for one another. God is our judge. If someone is homosexual and you try to convince them they are wrong and treat them as sinners, then you are NOT living Christ's way. It doesn't matter if you believe it is right or not, that is not for us to decide. It is our role as children of God to accept ALL our fellow humans, and lay the task of judgement unto the one who created us all. That is where current Christianity is going astray!

However 2 wrongs does not make 1 right. You yourself are passing a judgement in your statement above, this time on Christians , even going as far as talking about Christianity at large, millions of people whom you do not even remotely know anything about!!!.
It seems to be a bit more complicated than that, and we could discuss this. If you are privy to information of nondisclosed nature that hints or explains Gods will and desire for mankind, feel free to explain. Until then please include any scriptures that supports your conclusion, at least when you talk about God in a Christian context.
Allthough I tend to agree with you in part, the complication regarding judgement is evident if you go to a Bible site and type the word Judge into a concordance. Match scripture with scripture and see where you end up.

I'm looking for some other perspectives.
I don't mean any offense too anyone either.
