I don't understand what you mean by "militant attack". Please elaborate.

Obviously, if you're talking about this thread and our disagreements I think you're just not being realistic or honest.

But if you're talking about the AntiFA types going out and smashing heads or property, then no. Of course not.

But wise people are calculated with how they use their language, and intelligent people know that they have to lose a battle sometimes to win a war.

And if you sincerely don't believe we are in the midst of a culture war, I have nothing really to say about that because it's at our doorstep and the only way we change minds is being the more attractive side to be on, even when we disagree with each other.

If you have the option to vocalize that someone will be condemned to Hell for something you believe is a sin, and an option to choose kindness and understanding, kindness in that you can still treat them as human and understanding that they'll come to a point in their lives where they have their own awakening and repent -- why would you choose one?

The consequences of verbally condemning someone to Hell is just reinforcing a negative world view of God, Christianity and their peers in them. They will continue on their way and spread this hatred to others.

But if you offer them kind words and treat them with mutual human respect, they can come to realize that everything they've been told is a lie, and have enough time in their lives to repent and make the world a better place for someone else.

You don't always need to attack someone for being gay. You don't need to personally accept homosexuality either. All you have to do is understand that you are not in control of their lives and have absolutely no right instilled by God or the Constitution to infringe on their life.

Now, when it comes to truly degenerative behavior like child trafficking, drag queen story hour and pride parades -- double the sin -- I'm with you. But these things are perpetuated and protected by more than just the fractured people called the "gay community". Many straight people are involved too.

You'll probably refuse to even try to understand where I'm coming from, but that's fine I guess. I'm not going to change your mind and you're not going to change mine.

But if I had a child and that child turned out to be gay, I would viciously protect him or her against people who would do them harm.
