Oh right! It's not our fault, it's the Devil's! And all this while we make the laws that distribute the world's wealth. The fact is, there is enough wealth in the world for us all to have food, housing, healthcare. But we can't have that, and millionaires as well. We have to decide which we...

So do you prefer the status quo, that sees people starve? If not, what is your proposal? Best wishes, 2RM.

Christ's crucifixion was a demonstration of the extent of His love. Do you really think He would have denied a poor man a reasonably dignified living, were that in His power to bestow? Instead, He gave us the only example He could; that no sacrifice was too great for Him, and should not be for a...

Hmmm. Weak. However, I have neither the time nor inclination to educate you all. You are adults; that is your responsibility. Meanwhile, we shall all just have to agree to disagree. Now, can we please discuss the distribution of the world's wealth? And how we might save lives, and very likely...

Actually I am not, and never have been, a homosexual. These days, in fact, I am celibate, being rather too old for sexual shennaghins of any type. I merely state that so that you know exactly where I am coming from, and that I have no personal axe to grind in this matter. My main problem...

I asked why. You attempted some justifications. I explained they were unpersuasive to me. There is no necessity for you to lose your equilibrium. Best wishes, 2RM.

Does no one want to talk around this topic? Best wishes, 2RM

That is a remarkably Catholic view of sex and sexuality. But mine is somewhat broader. I think God gave us sex to enhance and deepen our relationships, as well as procreate. Best wishes, 2RM.

I have been 'born again'. I found that event altered my opinions not one iota, just confirmed and strengthened my faith. Best wishes, 2RM.

Pointing at other sins, and then suggesting there is an equivalence between them and homosexuality, does not persuade me. As for proclaiming that God wants some way of life congenial to the proclaimer, it does not really persuade me, either. Best wishes, 2RM.

I know conservatives like to discuss homosexuality, but the truth is, I have already said most of what I want to say on this topic. I would rather discuss why some are inordinately wealthy and some so poor they die of hunger and malnutrition. That really is a sin. Best wishes, 2RM.

Couldn't catch your meaning. Please clarify. Best wishes, 2RM.

So why do you suppose the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, and then never explains why? That is what I am trying to get at: the underlying reason. It just doesn't seem to be that there is one. Best wishes, 2RM.

Thanks, buddy. I feel welcome already. But my next trip is to Goa, and Kerala, India. And I don't have much money. So, I'm not sure I'll ever have the necessary funds to get to the US. But I really do appreciate your kind sentiments. Best wishes, 2RM.

I'd love to come, but I am not the preaching type. Just your ordinary, average, bog standard, Christian thinker. But I am sure others of my countrymen, better qualified than me, would take you up on your offer. Best wishes, 2RM.

I was brought up in the Church of England, and baptised and confirmed therein. As you might surmise, my experience is somewhat more recent than Spurgeon's of 1861. And arguably enough, it hasn't done me any harm. The C of E's position on homosexuality is quite clear (you can be a homosexual...

I am 60 years old. Since I was twenty, I have supported The British Green (political) Party, (or the Ecology Party as it was then) Finally, it seems, despite the countervailing vested interests, green issues are beginning to become relevant and important, in the media, in politics, and in...

I suggest you read up on your ethics. You will find they are anything but timeless, and liberals have been dragging, kicking and screaming, conservatives into some semblance of moral progress, for some considerable time, now. But I agree with you that the Bible is not a science book. Yet it...

Hmmm. In what way, exactly, apostate? Best wishes, 2RM.

Well, for starters, that Christianity is the religion of love. That is what Jesus came to preach, and judging by some of the discussions I have had with Americans on this and other forums, it seems to be a message many Americans have overlooked. You all seem to be far more concerned with the...
