Comments on: The Darth Vader Problem http://diebesteallerzeiten.de/blog/2007/12/19/the-darth-vader-problem/ Personal weblog of a web guy from Berlin/Germany with comments on programming, space exploration and assorted stuff.

We who are true Christians weep an mourn for those who practice homosexuality, for it is they who will not experience the gift of salvation and an eternity in the presence of our creator. Which, by the way, is only possible through recognizing that we're sinners, understanding that Jesus as the Son of God came to earth to be our redeemer, and that he died on the cross on our behalf because we humans are rotten by nature. One of the greatest gifts God gave us was choice. As a Christian, I'll simply share the message of salvation and what it has done in my life with those who choose homosexuality, but will never try and force anything down anyone's throat. It's their choice. I'll just be sad that we'll never see each other after our short time on earth and pray that one day they will celebrate in a relationship with our savior, Jesus Christ, who has helped me to experience true joy. Thanks. May God bless you this Christmas. Religion is the problem, not Christianity.

Your last paragraph is poignant. And it helps those of us in a faith tradition that has handled the issue of sexuality clumsily and arrogantly (perhaps ignorantly works too). Words go so far, but actions go the rest of the way. Peace, Michael Thank you for your post. Your last paragraph is poignant.
