Wow! Thanks for sharing,
DallasRain.
As a Christian, this type of thing especially upsets me. I am not not ashamed to admit that I am a hypocrite. In fact, we have a joke at my church:
"Church is full of hypocrites. But there's always room for one more."
While I share my faith and beliefs openly with others, I never force my opinions on them. It is not anyone's place to condemn or judge the behaviors of others, that is up to God (if one is a believer.) Jesus hung out with sinners, he was a controversial rebel of sorts, and showed love and compassion to everyone.
I've shared this area of my life with members of my church. While they don't support my choice to do this type of work--okay, I take that back, a few are totally okay with it--they have never condemned me or asked me to leave the church.
People like Grant Storms give Christians a bad name and turn people off from exploring Christianity.
It breaks my heart because I have been shown nothing but love and grace by my Christian community.
And...this is so unkind of me to say about him but I've
gotta' say it: what a creep!
