I need advice...
I'm a little perplexed about how to reply (or if I should reply) to this comment:
-----
ISleepInADrawer.com entry "The Anti-Anti-Gay Rally"
Comment:
"Please meditate on the cross and find your solace there... after facing my own same-sex attractions, I have found freedom at the foot of the Jesus' sacrifice. I cannot answer for God, I'll let Him do that for Himself, but I will pray that through the thousands of voices shouting at you that you will hear Love. I found nothing but pain and hurt in sodomy, but have found true love and acceptance at that cross. I hope nothing less for you."

I left the comment up because... well... it wasn't harmful. It was different. Unexpected. When I first read it, I leaned back, rubbed my eyes, blinked, and read again - convinced I'd hallucinated. Then I had Zach read it. He shrugged, kissed my forehead, sighed, and advised: "After all, it takes all kinds."
I suppose he's correct. But I'm not sure how to reply - or even if I should. It seems crystal clear to me that the gentleman and I are so far polarized in our respective views that common ground or dialogue seem incomprehensible - and an utter waste of time for both of us.
But, then again, I've been known to be wrong before. Any thoughts?

Posted by: ryan at May 12, 2004 11:48 AMI read that comment the other day and didn't know what to make of it either. It's christianity with the judgementalism. The guy would probably be interesting to talk to though, just to see how he arrived at the place he is at right now.
