Is religion still relevant in modern society?

Thank you padib.

I see now that your conviction against homosexuality is Biblical reference and nothing personal. I can appreciate that. You would do well to let people know that in the future.

I don't see why that makes any difference. He's still a despicable human being.

I think what you missed from his post is that he was trying to prove the opposite of what he said, and it was sarcasm. What I'm sure he appreciated though is that I was able to put myself in the eyes of a person from the opposite viewpoint and admit that I could not possibly bear it, and that I could understand their grief.

@bold. As for you, I don't know how much more I can tolerate the hate you spew at me. Up to now, you are clearly the hater by excellence in this thread. I don't say this to put you down, rather I want you to understand that everything you accuse the church of doing, you are doing it tenfold. Let it serve as a testimony that it is better to look at the log that's in your eye rather than the speck that is in the eye of your neighbor.

Luke 6:42:

"How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

Funny, want me to quote some of the nice things you said about me and others in this very thread earlier? Think I forgot about that?

I do not tolerate intolerance. I do not respect sexists and homophobes. And it's not because they think 'different' than me, but because they hurt other people (and so does the church). And I do not tolerate that!
