I would also like to apologize if my behaviour seemed nasty.

I am a Christian, but I am not perfect. And sometimes my demeanor on websites leave a lot to be desired. I agree with the Bible's view on homosexuality, namely Leviticus 18:22 where it says "You must not lie down with a male in the same way that you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable act." However, I believe that the Bible does not promote homophobia in any way. Rather it tells us at Romans 12:18 that "If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men."

Think of it like this, suppose you view smoking as harmful and even repugnant. What if you have a workmate who is a smoker? Would you be considered narrow-minded just because your view of smoking differs from his? Would the fact that he smokes and you do not smoke automatically mean that you are prejudiced against him? If your workmate were to demand that you change your view of smoking, would that not make him narrow-minded and intolerant?

I do not approve of the actions, but I do not want to mock or mistreat others whose views and practices differ mine.

I was not peaceable with all men, especially some men on this Wiki, and for that I apologize.

Christianity like most religions I do not believe is inherently bad as I believe that there is nothing wrong with believing in a higher power. Christianity is all about love, the love of one man that saved the entire world, and I did not imitate the loving stance that our lord Jesus Christ put in place 2000 years ago.

To reiterate, I am sorry and my behaviour was pitiful, but hopefully we now have an understanding of some matters.
