I had to go back and read Cheryl's post, I thought I read it wrong. Excuse me, but she says THE BIBLE SAYS homosexuality is an abomination. I haven't checked out whether that's the exact word or whether a similar word was used, but she's pointing out how homosexuality is viewed in the Bible. A fact, I would go so far to say. Harry would be more likely to have said "YOU are an abomination." Maybe the difference is too subtle for some people, but it's there.
Harry may have come out fighting, but he had time to think on his computer. He never showed remorse for anything he said (in fact, stood on every word), no matter how hurtful. I think the name calling and lack of remorse are really what bothered me. I hope he finds the help he needs and is allowed to come back when he can be civil in all threads. I don't want to keep going on about harry, though. The consensus seems to be that harry is sick and needs help and everyone wishes him well, but he can't be trusted right now not to express himself in a manner that causes harm to already hurting people. Can we agree on that much and let it go?
