The Partisan Divide on Issues

Another fellow accused me of being a child-molesting homosexual because I was militantly for gay rights!* He pretended to be a fervent Christian, but I proved that a farce. My father had just lost his wife, and I wanted him to get involved in the life that he could not enjoy while he and I were taking care of her. I couldn't get him to re-connect to the Masonic Lodge that had been an important part of his life, but I could get him to go to church. 

Part of the church service is one in which people bring about their concerns about troublesome aspects of life such as health (their own or that of loved ones), marital stress, finances, or job insecurity. The youth pastor seemed to be doing nothing at the time, and I did not want to expose my situation on the web with that creep to everyone there. 

I brought my concern to him and I discussed the need to do the most honorable thing possible. I wasn't going to get a voodoo doll and stick pins in it; I did what I thought one of my heroes, Dr. Martin King would have done about a bigot who wanted to do harm to him. 

I was not going to deprecate homosexuality, because homosexuality is not a choice any more than is eye color or bone structure. Child sexual abuse? For that nobody gets off -- man-boy, man-girl, woman-girl, or woman-boy. This said, libel is a grave sin.

So what did we do? The youth pastor and I did not pray about me, as I wasn't the one with a problem about homosexuality. We decided to pray for my tormenter with the knowledge that I would put my use of prayer to God to change his ungodly ways of injustice, anger, and bigotry. The youth pastor also herd me say that I would mention my prayer on the web site in question. Yes -- we prayed for him so that he would turn from his wicked ways!

I regret to say that the prayer did not work. His heart hardened, and he called me a hypocritical f-- and told me that my prayer was worthless because I am allegedly a child-molesting homosexual. But he did not last long on that Forum. I had given him one more chance than he probably deserved. But who knows? Maybe he would have come to recognize an act of Christian charity.   

*I became militantly for gay rights once I was threatened with a gay-bashing... on the conservative position that whatever fostered respect for homosexuals would make the world safer. How does that go? Without law and order, all the enumerated rights of Man are but cant.     

Yes. I told a fellow poster of yours that I was bored to death with the guilt trips in a way intended to wake him up and let go of the liberal way getting what they want from us and upset you (not him) and got me temporally banned. I see that you're still breathing and posting and still looking for victims to join the liberal cause. I recently told you that if you can't handle the heat then you better get out of kitchen for your own sake. If you can't handle being around adults, you shouldn't be hanging around with real adults. You seem to be the sort of person who will use that handicap of yours to your advantage.
