Get your head in order, Sturgis.
I have never said that God is a mean and hateful power.
I have had some unpleasant things to say about the god described in the Bible...but I alway diffentiate that cartoon god from GOD.

All I have done is state what I believe and being a gay man who has indeed placed my body next to another male I am aware that most versions of The Bible frown upon my being.
Could you direct us to the versions of the Bible...that do not frown upon it?
Just give us the titles....and publishers
Quote: That said, I need to say that The God I have in my life has shown me goodness and love on a regular basis. This is not to say my life has been without pain or difficulty but through those trials I have found an improved relationship with God. How can I possibly get that across to you? Answer: I can't. Feelings are what they are and vary from one to another and beliefs are what they are and also vary.
Whatever!
Let's start with my request up above.
You mentioned that "most" versions of the Bible frown upon you being...by which, I am assuming you mean that you engage in homosexual acts.
Tell us the titles and publishers of all the Bibles that do not.
Then we can move on to this other stuff.
