Have you met any Transsexuals?  Do you have any idea of the difficulty
most of them have had trying to live their lives as men or women when
they feel like women or men respectively?  Can you appreciate the years
of pain and conflict and the total disruption of their lives?  You are
very cruel and are trying to justify yourself "in the name of Jesus".

You do not know what you are talking about.  You are making statements
in the above two sentences the are complete fabrications.  Not only is
my personal relationship based on love, but I know of hundreds of others
that are also based on love.  Isn't there a comandment about bearing
false witness against your neighbor?

Were you a selfrightous prig before you became a Christian, or has
it grown on you like a fungus?  Your marriage is OK and it is OK for
you to have sex within it, right?  Unless other people have relationships
exactly like yours, they have no valid relationships, right?  WRONG!
Every couple is different and needs to build a unique relationship,
and even though keep claiming gay people are evil, we have existed
(read 'been made by God') for as long as there are historical records.
Under your theory, why hasn't God quit making us or at least reduced
the number of us he makes?  One in every six men is gay or bisexual
according to the sex researchers... He must like us alot.

May your God really enter your heart someday,
