Like I said before, teh fact that he is talking about gays instead of blacks, whites or asians does not make it any less wrong.
That is the problem I have with religions sometimes- people will use them to justify any hatred or prejudice and feel like they have a righteous reason to be prejudiced.

but, if you remember, mike was saying what his father had told him. i don't recall him saying that he actually believed that. if he did and i'm wrong, i'll wear the hat.
and as far as religion goes, anyone who is a true believer and really is a follower, such as myself, will not hate anyone. we are taught to love everyone. true, we do believe in a right and wrong, but we are not to hate anyone who as chosen the latter path. i don't think theo hates chris or anyone else who is gay. i simply believe that he disagrees with homosexuality and that it is rooted in his spiritual and religious beliefs
