I agree very strongly with a lot of that.

Why is it that many many fundamentalist make it an issue? I don't know. Maybe like all people they are afraid of what they are unfamiliar with and/or don't understand.

I have also noticed it is common for many to dismiss many OT biblical laws but to hold on to others strongly against all logic. There are many who still need to read their bibles thoroughly and to be willing to research some parts.

If there is a problem with homosexuality in the bible it is not from the six or so verses that appear to address it and condemn it. If there is a problem it will be from the higher law of Christ which is not written but in the hearts of man and pointed to by the Mosaic Law. God does have a plan for the world and a pattern that He prefers and teasing out what it is can be hard.

But as MT states; the command to love God and neighbor is pretty clear. I do not find it hard to accept gay people even if my political understanding of the secular laws we live by are in disagreement with their agenda.

On a side note - I have noticed though that it is not only fundies who have an issue. So do many other Christians, Chreasters, and non-christians.
