- *I* don't hate homos nor do any Christians I know! Prehaps you are confusing
- our rage that our children are being taught in public school that its
- acceptable behavior and we have to pay for it!
-
- I don't know any Christians that would go to a "fortune teller" or even
- read a H-scope. What I feel for homos, psychics, and atheists is the same.
- Pity. Not hatred.
-
- But I see your method and goal. Tell a lie long enough and people will
- belive it. (ie: Christians Hate People therefore they are in violation
- of the bible)
- I think the goal is rather pointless. Christians are not going away before
- the return of Jesus and we're not going to stop you from being homo, psychic
- or atheist etc... Thats not our job.

- ah yes. "spare the rod, spoil the child". Some quack in NYC concluded that
- children that never get hit for punishment turn out to be "better all around
- citizens and are more successfull". Did the 'article' say what constituted
- as being "child abusers"?
