You are always someone's child. If you can ask your Mum or Dad, they will no doubt tell you this. Their love for you as an adult doesn't diminish from that when you were a child. Such is the blessing and sadly, occasionally the curse of parenthood. If it's a family feud then it is unfortunate and like you say, shit happens. It can also usually be fixed. Judging your kids based solely on what the bible says, as was suggested above? It makes me question the sanity of someone who would do that. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I have a son who is gay. It's not my place to judge him, or try to make him 'repent' of his homosexuality. He's going to have to face God's judgement all on his own, in due course. He's well aware of this, and stands firm. He affirms that he is who he is, and he will not be false to appease those who claim themselves to be more holy than he. It's my place to offer advice, to offer guidance, to offer emotional support, and to love him in spite of what some would call his flaws, or his wicked, sinful ways.

Her father has strong beliefs, she made choices, they can't coexist. This is the same reason I left the Presbyterian church. You can't stand up on Sunday and preach about God's law being infallible and then be doing Gay weddings in the sanctuary on Saturday and say that you're now interpreting things so that everyone can feel good. Legally I don't care who you sleep with or what you do in the privacy of your own home or in public within reason, but when it comes to church, your beliefs ought to mean something, not just be some talking point until you leave. View Quote My Presbyterian church was seemingly as hippie-influenced as it could have been without all but one of the congregation's males having long hair. It was an easy-going, alcohol-drinking good-time-having bunch, and I was just a kid in it all. Had that pastor continued on, I can only imagine we would have accepted gays, and I'm willing to be they do with the new congregation. We had a visiting Presbyterian pastor conduct services one day, and we were all shocked... then the congregation was miffed because he didn't keep it short and let us out for coffee and social-hour early enough either, lol. Probably the best Church I could have imagined, possibly because of the times, the people and the lack of bible-thumping. |

If he believes in the Christian model, his moral view of God doesn't matter. In Christianity, God is like gravity: bow down or get tortured. Even if they disagree with the dictator, no-one wants their kid getting lit up like an ISIS victim so they tell em to fall in line. Trauma like this seems to hit the religious more often. I think it's like the blue and red divorce rate. Red people signal they are against divorce or polygamy or what-have-you because their demographic can't handle it well, so they need to show other reds they are not a risk for those problems. |

The truth is the truth even if no one believes it and a lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. I would say to you go away...leave your family alone....go live your life as you see fit....someday maybe you will see the truth and ask God for forgiveness and find forgiveness from both God and your family...maybe you won't.

The truth is always in the middle though. I would want his side of the story. To those saying you don't follow certain passages, are you saying you get to pick and choose what to believe and follow in the Bible? The answer (and you know it) is no. The Bible states pretty clearly what it takes for salvation, what is a sin, and what to believe. Choosing to believe in just parts of the Bible or saying "your god" would believe in this and that is at best false teachings. I will pray you find and accept the truth. |

AL dot cum likes to rabble rouse and bring up stupid liberal bullshit. Rick's daughter is a liberal too. No doubt she brought this up as some social justice issue.

Maybe it's me but in all honesty it sounds like her family is taking the attitude of "We feel you are living in sin and do not want to support it."
But since SJWs and liberals love to equate "gay" with "good", they feel that it's "evil" to not support their choices and actions. I'm betting, however, that her family would give her the same reaction if she was straight and sleeping with a married man, or sleeping around with lots of men. It's not always about "gay vs straight" but about how someone conducts their lives. The SJW/Liberal movement wants you to believe in fucking anything you want without consequence and ... anyone who dares give them a single ounce of resistance is thrown into the narrative as a "hater" etc. |
