I'm a Christian and I was deeply disgusted by that website.
I hate it when so called "Christians" ignore the basic teachings of Christ, including "Love thy neighbour".
A "Christian" group maintaining a website saying God hates gays is simply adding to a loooong list of contradictions.
Ahhh, what was it that C.S. Lewis said?
The Screwtape Letters
(Devil speaking) Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamhlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours--and the more "religious" (on those terms), the more securely ours. I could show you a pretty cageful down here.
The ends do
not justify the means - especially when the means do not justify the end. I do
not want the world to be forced into Christianity. The concept boggles the mind - how can you force a supposed "Gospel of peace" into a native population without destroying its capability for appreciating it?

Well yes mind is now boggled - all I was saying was that this whole "gays are wrong, they are all going to hell" mentality is wrong. I believe in showing love and respect to your fellow human being, instead of judging them based on how you think they should live their lives.
And yes, I too do not want the world to be forced into Christianity (did you think I was implying this
question ), just as I do not want it to be forced into any other religion. I believe that religion, or more importantly faith (for any person can be religious, even if you don't have faith) should be freely available for those to explore and investigate in their own time and by their own choice.
Ok so it's late over here, maybe I've gone off on a tangent or completly misunderstood your point, but I'm just trying to justify my comments and respond to yours.
