		<description>Well.  I&#039;m a Christian and I&#039;m totally OK with gay marriage.  Marriage is not just a Christian institution.  In India, people marry dogs and trees.    In France, you can marry someone who is dead.  So, really.  I don&#039;t see the issue with gay marriage, as long as they don&#039;t want to have a conservative Christian type of marriage, they can have at it!</description>

		<description>I accept everyone unconditionally.  In fact, that is why I blog because of my love for everyone.

		<description>The Bible says that the path of love is a narrow path.  The vast majority live a life of lust and find reasons to justify it.   Even though we know rationally that drugs can kill you, some still do drugs.  The fact that we know that playing chicken with cars can kill you, some still do...  Reason oftentimes is a loser when a person is driven by passion...</description>

		<description>There is a reason they have high suicide rates and high disease rates.  There are is also a reason why innocent people are dying due to tainted blood supplies.  When you go outside of God&#039;s plan, it always results in death.

		<description>I don&#039;t deny that we all have sinful impulses!  Our impulses prove that we are under the curse of sin.  We need the love of God to overcome our lust.  The only way to overcome lust is with love.</description>

		<description>Love is your choice.  God is love; however, if you want to enjoy the life of God for eternity, you have to choose love. 

God is not going to force you to love as forced love is a contradiction.  Hell is merely your separation from the life of God for eternity.  It is your choice.</description>

		<description>Choas...thanks... you prove my point.  You need the love of God too!  Perhaps then you will be able to see that even those who disagree with you have value.</description>

		<description>Dan, I think the real issue is whether you love anyone at all.  If you can&#039;t love me, I am certain you really don&#039;t love anyone my friend.

The fact is I show up on your blog out of love for you!  I want everyone to grow in their knowledge of love towards all men.  

However, the facts are in and gays have high suicide rates and death rates.  Sexual disease in particular has nothing to do with Christians.  

If everyone actually lived a life of love, we wouldn&#039;t have any of these issues.

God&#039;s plan is one man loving one woman for life.  If this standard was met, we would have tainted blood supplies, we wouldn&#039;t have HIV going around, we wouldn&#039;t have people commiting suicide.

Homosexuals, adulterers, fornicators etc.. present a danger to the rest of the world as well as to themselves.  There are literally hundreds of stories of people getting aids from tainted blood supplies.  When a person gets HIV, it doesn&#039;t show up sometimes for a couple of years.

&quot;An estimated 1 in 450,000 to 1 in 660,000 donations per year are infectious for HIV but are not detected by current antibody screening tests. &quot;

The godless don&#039;t stop their death march there though.  They go on to kill babies and they want to allow doctors to kill old people.  In addition, they want to make recreational drug usage an everyday normalized thing for all Americans which results in more deaths.

Christians just look at the stupidity and write it off as selfishness that is not guided by reason.  You have to know the love of God to even think correctly about these issues.

Dan, you need the love of God.  The love of God will change your life.  Instead of being angry and full of hate, you would be full of love.  When you see people hurting themselves, you will want to reach out in love to those people. 

Your anger towards the only people group that want to help homosexuals is very telling.  Christians can just look at the facts and see what the world needs.  We need more love rather than hate.  We need more understanding rather than blind disrepect towards those who disagree with us.</description>
