   Let's make this clear:   
      
   - Christianity does not condone homosexuality, and neither do I. This does   
   not make me a "homophobe" because no one in their right mind would be   
   scared of sissies like you. It merely makes me a Christian who follows the   
   Word over your fragile emotions.   
      
   - As a Christian, I am told that I am to be truthful. I refuse to ignore   
   the general actions of a race of people simply because it might hurt their   
   or your feelings. It is truth, but to you it is racism. I don't care   
   either way.
