Crazymanwoot, sounds like you've been listening too much to that Focus on the Family guy. TERRORISTS who are out to destroy the Traditional American Family Way? OMFG..........that's too much!
Most GLB folks are just like anyone else you know. My uncle volunteers as a Big Brother, gives LOTS of money to charity, has adopted a crack addict's baby, is clean living, religious, and meets all the criteria of being a fine upstanding person to look up to......GUESS what? He's GAY! The ONLY difference between GLB folks and straight folks is the people they fall in love with! We are PEOPLE....we are HUMANS.... NOT terrorizing monsters!
Well, there's really no ONE answer. Some have given up on organized religions and become atheists/secular humanists or practice religion on their own, some have found support and help in the various and sundry support religious support groups, some have found help in recoincling their orientation with their religion in other ways. Being Christian and gay isn't a total oxymoron. I mean, there are Christian churches that are 100% OK with homosexuality....and even offer their offical blessings in the form of comittment cereomonies. Homosexuality is NOT universarly accepted as a sin! Here's a link that might be helpful to you....Scroll down to the bit on libral Christian's views on homosexuality:

Did you know that some Biblcal scholars think that the "friendship" between David and Jonathan may have been homosexual? 2 Samuel 1:26
"I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; you were very dear to me. Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women."
According to some scholars (and not crazed fringe scholars) there's evidence of at least THREE positive homosexual relationships in the Bible:

Homosexuality is more of an ambigious sin......NOT ALL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES VIEW IT AS A SIN!!!!!
Yes, I know you quote the "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve arguement"
BUT, JESUS NEVER spoke out on homosexuality! Don't you think that if He'd had issues with homosexuality, He would have said something?

Reba, I believe that ALL major relgions preach The Truth....Jesus said that it was more important to have a close personal relationship with God, then to follow man-made rules. I have a close relationship with God......I am spiritual, but yet I believe that ALL religions have Truth and value to them. I don't believe that any one religion has a monopoly on it when it comes to teachings and answers. There's even formal religions like Ba'hai and Unitarians that believe that!
