Reply #76: Aha! Very predictable.

All three (so far) of the responses to my post condemn what I have to say, even though gays are often victimized by "Christians".

Maybe it's the thirty years I've been told to be silent and respectful of people who routinely say they want to kill or imprison me that did it, or maybe it's that so-called "good" Christians aren't even willing to stand up during the sermon and decry what they see as injustice.

A great shout of "hypocrite" on Sunday would be a welcome change, but oh, wait- we all have to be respectful.

So, I have to be respectful to Christianity as a whole, but some Christians can be disrespectful to me?

Sorry, I'had it with that. You want to say you're not like Christians who demonize gays, want to arrest and/or kill them? Fine.

Prove it.

What I heard in the responses was "just because you're black/Jewish/Muslim/female/Wiccan/atheist doesn't give you the right to condemn a religion that says it's ok for you to be a slave/didn't say a thing while six million of you burned/wants to "kill them all in the name of the Lord"/wants you to stay home and make babies/says you should be condemned to death for your beliefs/says you, and all of the above, are going to hell".

Sorry. You "Good Christians", or "real Christians", or whatever it is... you ALL have a LOT of proving to do.

Decades worth. If you want to try, that's fine, but you will have my suspicion for a very long time and it will take a lot of work on your parts- decades worth of work- to convince me.

I'm not saying you can't- I'm saying that the damage is so vast at this point, it will take a loooooong time to fix.
