What I've learned from this quote is that I possess a hidden determination to fulfill the destiny in which Christ has placed before me. Eventhough it was never promised that this journey would be easy, dusting yourself off and getting back up counteracts the expected...and that's what we live for together. I love you baby and I'm so proud of the man that you've become. Never stop believing in yourself and your mission that God has placed before you. You were chosen to step out despite your introverted personality...and that has made all the difference.

I really don't care whether man or a woman judges me. I used Luke to express how homosexual persons, and other sinners, are JUDGED by others claiming to be "righteous."

What is your email address? Do I know you? My blog on homosexuality was not intended to defend the act of homosexuality per se, but rather to defend the homosexual person from hateful persons like yourself? I'm not sure if I even know you, but if I do, I wish you would be clear on here who this actually is. I allow comments on my blog to allow folks to enter into conversation about these difficult issues. I do not allow comments to be critical of the author or even, as you seem to do, attack the author on unfounded grounds. If there is a problem with me personally, I'd prefer it not be directed here in a comment to a post. You have twisted my intentions and attacked my character. I don't appreciate your assassination of my character. I don't even know you, and I'm most certain that you must not really know me either. Dear Ben?

I am ABSOLUTLY ASTOUNDED that you call yourself a pastor. You took a biblical oath (Matt. 23:20-22) as well as an oath to your church to preach the word of God and to lead a Godly life. So how can you say that God doesn't mention homosexuallity in the Bilbe where it clearly states in Romans 1:16-32 Gods position on homosexuallity. What kind of Godly pastor would even DEFEND homosexuallity let alone say it is alright under the eyes of God? I am curious as to just where you got your pastoral doctrine, as well as your congregation because I hope that none of them believe your INSANE view of the bible. I also could not believe that you think that just visiting someones family in a morgue makes you a good pastor and is helping to futher your "ministry." You are acting just like the pharisees of the New Testimnet who thought by just showing their faces in public religous events they were futhering the word of God. (Matt.23) If you want to futher the word of God, try changing your sermons and your blogs and actually try preaching the correct word of God for a change. I also liked how you tried to use the gospel of Luke to say that people shouldn't judge you because of what you wrote. THEY WERE PROVING THAT YOUR BLOG ON HMOSEXUALLITY WAS WRONG AND WE COULDN"T BELIEVE THAT A SO CALLED PASTOR BELIEVES WHAT YOU BELIEVE!! If you want you can e-mail me and I can lead you back to rightousness for I feel like you are acting just like it says in Matt. 24:4-6. Dear Ryan,

OK, I’ll make a judgment: to be such a biblical literalist, you sure take a lot of liberties with a given text…

Having said that, it also follows that the Unitarian Universalist Church, because of its descent from the two, can make claim upon the U.S. Presidents listed above. What is important here for this blogger is that the Presidents were not Fundamentalist Christians or Evangelical. In other words, many of our founding fathers were not "orthodox" according to that faction in the body of Christ.
