God made us all so unique. Some tall, some short, some black and some white. God made straight people and God made gay people and he loves us all the same. He wants us all to have fun and be happy. My sister Monica is an exotic dancer and he gave her a hot body and she went to church and sat next to a school teacher. Everyone can come together and worship. Does not matter if you are a stripper or a doctor and if you are straight or gay. All Gods people celebrate his love together.

Yeah, I really love the variety in people. God hates the sin, but loves the sinner. That includes everyone of us. Just because my sin is different than yours, or yours is different than mine, doesn't make either of us better or worse than the other. In God's eyes we are all equally guilty and in need of the cleansing grace of Jesus. Sinners don't go to church because they are hypocrites, they go because that's where they can find help, and they know it. Just like sick people don't go to the hospital because they are hypocrites, they go because that's where they can get help. Those of us who know the love of God have a responsibility to share the GOOD NEWS with those who don't, instead of bashing them. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

I am a good Christian but would surely like know where I can go to church and sit by a stripper. I will be there every Sunday, for sure. Only kidding, I think.
You are so right though as to your assessment except for the gay part. Don't think God made them. But, still, I would go to church with them too. Only hold hands though and that's it. Don't want to convert.

Agreed. Even if something is a "sin," that's for God to decide, not us. There is no reason for us to ever make another human being feel badly about themselves for anything they can or cannot change (because again, how do any of us know for sure). We should just uplift everyone with our words and deeds.

It is great that God made us to have our own invidualities. However, God did not make gays. They became that by choice. God loves each of us no matter what our occupation is. I do believe though that if you are a stripper, you should look carefully at yourself and your relationship with Christ. I don't think God would approve of stripping.

just to clarify, God didn't MAKE them gay. They choose whether they WANT to have romantic/sexual relations with the same gender. If they had impulses and resisted them (as well as believing homosexuality is wrong), technically, they're not gay.

Sorry, but I disagree.
God made the person - yes. However, he did not make their sexual preference, nor their profession. Those were choices by the individual. That's like saying he made rapists and murderers. Those are choices. Nice tactic, but not valid.

Most Christians hate variety they want everyone to conform to one Christian stereotype, if you point this out to them they accuse you of stereotyping them. One way Jesus!...yeah well you can keep it!

Thanks for being so understanding! I'm a gay guy, and been waiting to see someone like you, believes in God but very open-minded.
Cheers!
