re homosexuality issues in christianity darin johnson djohnson cs ucsd edu wrote ok what s more important to gay christians sex or christianity christianity i would hope would they be willing to forgo sex completely in order to avoid being a stumbling block to others to avoid the chance that their interpretation might be wrong etc if not why not heterosexuals abstain all the time it would be nice if protestant churches had celibate orders to show the world that sex is not the important thing in life the difference is that straight members are given the choice of abstaining or not and celibacy is recognized as a gift given only to some gays are told that as a condition of acceptance they must be celibate i don t believe that god gives me a forced choice between having a relationship with god and expressing my heterosexuality within the context of a faithful relationship nor do i believe that god gives that forced choice to gays sex or christianity is a false dichotomy to tell the truth gay churches remind me a lot of henry the viii starting the church of england in order to get a divorce or is this a myth note that i am not denying that gay christians are christian for my part gay churches remind me of blacks starting their own churches either because they were not allowed at all in the white churches or at best only with special restrictions that did not apply to white members revdak netcom com
