If God hates "fags" so much, then why did His Son, Jesus, say not a
single word concerning homosexuality? Jesus has plenty to say about
hypocrites who condemn other people while concealing their own sins
--(News Flash: Mike Bowers, the Attorney-General of Georgia, famous for
defending the Georgia Law against Male Homosexuality – B0WERS VS
HARDWICK – resigns from the National Guard, admitting that he cheated on
his wife with another woman for many years.) – Interesting, isn't it,
that Jesus is pretty hard on the heterosexual males:  "If a man lusts
after a woman, even with his eyes, he has committed adultery."  Bowers,
however, went all the way.

Jesus liked the eunuchs – the castrated males – a lot more than your
intact woman-loving heterosexual man: "Some men are born eunuchs from
their mother's womb, and some have been made eunuchs by men, and some
have become eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven." – Matthew
19:12

In fact God chose the Ethiopian Eunuch to accept Jesus before Paul had
his conversion experience: See Acts 8:27-39.

And for those who think that being a woman-loving heterosexual male is
the superior orientation, listen to what the prophet Isaiah said:

neither let the eunuch say,
Behold I am a dry tree.
For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs
that keep my sabbaths,
and choose the things that please me,
and take hold of my Covenant
Even unto them will I give in mine house
and within my walls a place and a name
better than of sons and of daughters:
I will give them an everlasting name,
that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah 54:3-5

"A NAME BETTER THAN OF SONS AND OF DAUGHTERS"!!!  Sounds to me that the
Lord God had second thoughts about "Be fruitful and multiply."

Anyone who has read the Gospels thoroughly knows that Jesus has patience
and forgiveness with just about anybody but hypocrites and people who
are quick to judge others.

"Woe unto you...,hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup
and of the platter...cleanse that which is within the cup and the
platter....
Woe unto you..., hypocrites! for ye are like whited sepulchers, which
indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's
bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so ye also appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of
hypocrisy and iniquity."  – Matthew 23:25-28

"Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." –
Matthew: 7:1-5

And finally, Jesus doesn't care in the least whether or not you are or
are not a so-called born-again Christian, for here are Jesse's own words
on how he is going to judge every human who ever lived:

"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels
with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.
And before shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them
one from another, as a shepherd dividith his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of
my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of
the world:
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty and ye gave me
drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick and ye visited me: I was in prison,
and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
We saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not:
sick and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, we saw we thee an
hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,
and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily, I say unto you, inasmuch as
ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous
into life eternal." – Matthew 25:31-46

The Hindu, the Muslim, the Buddhist, the Christian, etc. who LIVE like
Jesus LIVED and practice compassion shall enter the narrow gate while
the self-proclaimed "True Believers" who condemn others while shouting
"Jesus, Jesus, Jesus," shall (according to the words of Jesus) be in for
one Hell of a Surprise!
