   I was curious, & asked a pastor/scholar I respected, what we need do in    
   response to homosexuality in this age.   
      
   Hew responded by asking me what the greatest commandment is. . . "To love the    
   Ord our God with all our heart, mind, strength, & soul." I replied.   
      
   He surmised that the greatest sin must be brea89n the greatest commandment; I    
   agreed this was logical.   
      
   He went on to point you that ever minute of every day & night we neglect to    
   devote our ENTIRE feelings, strength, & thoughts unto God, & against a   
   backdrop of sinning such as that, who are we to worry about a little thing   
   called  homosexuality.   
      
   This us one of my key guiding principles with regard to any judgement of    
   others.   
      
   If asked, I respond to homesexual friends that their goal is the same as for    
   heterosexuak people: live well, honour God, help others, & behave.   
      
   &, further, gw does the Bible define homosexuality? Butt-humping -- but gays    
   get murdered for just holding hands or kissing - that's just plain murder, by    
   any standards!   
   '   
   Ok, the Bible gives Sodom & Gomorrah as examples -- what happened in Sodom?   
   The people were so sex-crazy, they were willing to rape strangers, just   
   because  they were fresh meat. :(   
      
   That's a far cry different sin than holding hands & necking in a public park!    
   Or any none of anyone's business marital expression of love in the privacy of   
   a private home.   
      
   Only God has authority to judge/condemn. I may be wrong in my leniency, but   
   it  doesn't feel wrong, & if I am, I'll have consequences for teaching   
   wrongly, but I can only hope I'm judged by the same standard as I judge.   
      
   What is a "right-wing homosexual?" You accept the conservative/Republican    
   platforms, save for any mentions of condemning homosexuality?   
      
   Live in peace, my brother.
