This says nothing of agreeing with what they say.
However, don't you (at least a little) admire the stance that "You're going to hell. That's what the Bible says, so it's what I believe. I know it's not pretty, but I have to accept that."
Let's be frank, it's pretty ballsy in this overly happy-go-lucky, lets-all-get-along-and-ignore-our-differences world.
I certainly don't agree with it, but at least they're being honest with themselves and others about what the Bible really says.
Before you disagree, think of Primoa (an R&S Regular). He firmly believes what he believes, and is honest about who and what he is. No matter how much we disagree, I respect the hell out of him, and like him as a person for his honesty and forthrightness.
So, deep down, do you at least respect the honesty of those who DO have the courage of their convictions, who say "This is what the bible says, and whether I like it or not, this is what I believe."?
