      - I admire his sentiment, I just disagree that it accurately captures what Christ taught. Yes, love is critical, but it's not the *only* thing. was -- nm - landbeck Dec 23, 12:20 2
        
        The prime directive of the Bible is love without judgment. Any argument that says, "Okay, let's ignore that in this one instance" is obviously corrupt -- nm - David Dec 23, 13:21
        
        good thing I'm not trying to be accurate to what Christ taught, then. :) - znufrii Dec 23, 12:30
  - Or, maybe He was just wrong. - TWuG Dec 23, 12:06 3
    - "He" being Jesus, or the Minister before he changed his stance? Arguing that forbidding homsexuality = bigotry is certainly a legitimate stance. -- nm - landbeck Dec 23, 12:14 2
      - Capitalized to indicate Jesus. -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 12:38
      - I'm no bible scholar, but let's assume that Christ is infallible. Those who wrote the bible and tell the stories are not. It seems to me there are - pmb Dec 23, 12:23
