    I would like to respond to these comments as best I can:

    First off, I am not at all a homophobe; in fact, I have many gay friends and hang out with them as much as I do any of my other friends. I also love them just as much as any of my other friends. Second, I am a strong Christian woman, and just because I am a Christian or any other person says they are a Christian does not automatically give me/them the title "homophobe."
    Homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God and most Christian people. Just because a few radical conservatives and Christians have said that they hate homosexuals, does not mean that ALL Christian people hate homosexuals. In fact, it is the duty of a God-following man/woman to love people (hate the sin, love the sinner), and we are all sinners. You don't see anyone going around saying that all liars, thieves, and envious people have to die or be shunned from society. If that was the case, then we would all be shunned because everyone has been guilty of lying, no question. At the end of the day, it is seen as a sin, and we all sin. The Exodus group helps men especially, to discover that they are above sin.

    If people even really think hard about the science of having men and women be together it makes sense. Two men having homosexual sex cannot produce a child and visa versa with 2 women. We have different body parts: men have a penis, and women have a vagina. Those parts fit together perfectly for pleasure and for reproduction.

    Last thing I want to talk about is that people tend to sin a lot in one or more areas of life for a reason. There could be a weakness, past emotional problems, lifestyles, money issues, etc. that cause us to sin in certain ways. I, for instance, have a lot of issues with authority and can be very disrespectful - I think that comes from me always having my life planned for me and my parents forcing too much structure throughout my life. Now that I am a 20 year old on my own, I have even more of an attitude towards people in authority. Everyone has something and it stems from somewhere else. Our natural tendency is to sin, but that is no excuse. God loves us and He wants everyone to know that He loves them and made us to be beautiful, complex creatures. Many homosexuals have a tendency to be attracted to the same sex because of a painful childhood. Most of my homosexual friends grew up without a father or had an abusive one. It is realizing what causes these things that can make someone turn their life around for the best.

    I don't want to argue Biblical truths or whether or not Jesus is real and actually died on the Cross for you, but I do want to leave you with this in case this helps someone see that they are loved despite their circumstances:

    God loves you, and He wants you to know that He cares for you tremendously - more than anyone ever has or ever will. His love only grows stronger and has the power to perform miracles. Just let Him show you His love and you will find forever peace and joy in His eternal arms of refuge and strength.

    God be with you.
