Sorry, Bill. I'm not your friend. Regardless of what the hymn says about "...take me as I am..." you have proven to be one of the most incorrigibly bigoted individuals I have ever had contact with. Combine that with the loving, caring facade you put on you and, well, you're an indictment of modern christianity beyond any that I can imagine.
You are one of those about whom I refer...speaking with authority on an unknowable subject. You read what has been translated from early writings and vomit it back at everyone within earshot as being the Single Truth. It's okay if you believe it. Just don't get excited when a lot of people don't go along with it.
