Thoughts?<br /><br />you can do whatever you want - but i would suggest wearing it. you do get used to it (my husband did) and it represents alot more than &#039;proof that you love a woman&#039;. it also helps avoid messy misunderstandings because there&#039;s obvious evidence on your hand that you are taken:)...

(like homosexuality). Can certain lifestyles be a mortal threat to God? If not, then why have opinion as a God?<br /><br />sin separates us from God. it&#039;s not that it&#039;s a threat to Him (all sin will one day be nothing more than a memory, if that) but it does cause pain and separation. God designed laws so that we would live healthy, comfortable, full lives that honor Him.

Is there any valid argument of why God should hate homosexuals?<br /><br />the practice of homosexuality is a sin. God hates that sin. does He hate the sinner? no. but He is bound by His just and holy nature to reject sin - He cannot abide it. there is, however, a separation between sin and sinner that people miss. practicing homosexuals are enemies of God...

If so, is that love unconditional?<br /><br />well.. disowning generally means completely forsaking, and forsaking is NOT an act of love. and no, that love is NOT unconditional. children should not be abandoned like that - it&#039;s definitely one thing to not agree with them and not support a particular decision, but disowning is...
