gridlore[Regarding homosexual members of a church youth group]
I just wish it was that simple. These kids aren't doing anything wrong besides being homosexual...they aren't inappropriate or crass, and know not to show unusual affection toward the members of their own gender. The problem is just that they're happy, as bad as that sounds, and by everyone in our group seeing that their sin hasn't caused them any pain or guilt...I dunno. We try to illustrate to them and everyone else how God sees them (almost every week now), but it doesn't stop them from being as popular as they are. They're exuberant and extremely content in their lifestyle, and I'm really worried that it's going to rub off on the other children.
I strongly believe that Satan has found a great ally in homosexual children. I'm completely lost as to what to do.
This isn't a Poe, or if he is, he's one of the most determined ones I've ever seen. This person is actually upset because the gay kids in his church's youth group are happy, confident, and popular. He'd prefer that they be guilt-ridden and miserable.Because obviously being around homosexuals who aren't two steps from suicide will corrupt the other little darlings.
Damn right it will. The other kids are growing up knowing that "the gay" isn't a disease, and that homosexuals are people like themselves. Friends, family, and yes, fellow members of the church. These kids are going to reject the intolerance, and hopefully in time the intolerant religion that spawned it. Bigotry can only exist in darkness. Expose people to the light of other cultures, other people, other ways of thinking and it melts.
