It is.
You are assigning thoughts and feelings to me which are 100% incorrect.
AFF has become so accustomed to ONE view on most things that any divergent view (especially if it's Bible-based) is anathema.

I posted the link to that for Charnock last night. He obviously ignored it.
I think that statement is pretty clear.
We've had gay members here before, back when there were a lot of conservative members as well. A couple of them were allowed to stay. I do remember one in particular who was quickly banned because he started spouting blatant support for his lifestyle. The point being, it's the behavior that matters. I didn't know that the AFF (or the FCF/NFCF for that matter) was supposed to ban people for being sinners.
That's news to me.

I'm not asking for anyone to be banned. I'm simply commenting on the weird, disgusting, and approving manner in which homosexuality is discussed on this forum.

Well, then, why don't you make that CLEAR for all the former members who have been lurking on this thread - that YOU are not attacking or criticizing the new poster, Azzan, but RATHER the posters who don't like conservative posts?
At this point, it sounds like you (and others) are simply campaigning to have Azzan banned. If you have another goal in mind, perhaps you should clarify.
So you're fine with Azzan staying and posting?

I am simply voicing an opinion. It that allowed?
I have not attacked any person on this thread, including Azzan.
My issue is with the general attitude that accepts homosexuality as a normal Christian behavior.

Re: Welcome Azzan Thread
Homosexuality is a selfish, depraved condition.

So, you want us all to live to the lowest common denominator? That's a horrible existence.

No, I want you to snap out of your bubble.
You ignored my question to you earlier - - if a gay attends your church are you going to ask him to leave because his mere existence at your church means you approve of his lifestyle?
