Thanks. It's been a hell of a week. I certainly can't fit back in the closet now - that's one thing!
Hope you don't mind my sticking in my less than 2 pennies' worth.
Of course I don't mind. I use the term "so-called christian" because I do know a couple of Christians who are actually not ignorant bigots. But I'm afraid I long ago reached the conclusion that they are the exception. The Bible doesn't teach tolerance, no matter what some people claim. Its central message is self-hatred. Disgusting stuff. And, yeah, I've read it. Cover to cover.
