What Church teaches to go attack gays? What "Christian" on this forum has ever physically attacked a gay person?
Even now gays are dreaming up more ways to force their agenda down the throats of Christian children and all young people and MAKE THEM not only accept it but to like it or else.

Who is kidding who here? Have you ever heard of Westboro Baptist church? Their slogan is 'God hates fags'. Not seen the billboards taken out to show that homosexuality is 'evil'? If we are supposed to be the good guys here let's act like it.
I will post some comments here that I posted on another forum recently:
Many types of deviant sexual behavior are now the 'norm'. In example, fornication is so very widely accepted that most secular and even some 'Christian' counseling groups now RECOMMEND that people live together before marriage as the preferred course of a successful relationship. They even claim to have new 'studies' to back their position.
Because it would just be too scary to look at such rampant sins as gluttony, lying and coveting, let us take that all too common but still-recognized-as-sin-by-some-sin- fornication and use it as an example here. Take a look at people living together without marriage and you see people who have apparently won the battle the homosexuals are fighting! People who are getting equal treatment under the law with marrieds with regards to health benefits, tax breaks, etc. Try counting the number of times that behavior is glorified in TV and movies, etc. and you will find it absolutely dwarfs the homosexual issue. The only reason that fornicators are not campaigning in the streets for the right to do what they do is because no one, not even One God Apostolics seem to care. Could part of this be because we have become so very focused on the homosexual issue that it has completely eclipsed other sins in our minds?
Is homosexuality now so much a 'special sin' that we must make hating it part or our identity? Or are we to reach for every kind of sinner in love knowing that there is none beyond God's reach, not even the fornicator or the homosexual? I do not want any kind of hate speech to be a part of who I am. I work with homosexual people. Educated, medical doctors and nurses and I believe that the Lord can change them. I will not say or do anything to even hint at support for the idea that 'God made them this way'. I do not want them to believe that I feel their sin dirtier than anyone elses.
I wonder if in some ways the 'church' has, with it's special focus on homosexuality, added negative force and power to the fight and validation to the idea that even Christians believe that the homosexual can not be changed by God.
