Re: Cornerstone dismay
I've been back on for a couple of weeks, and this brought me out of the
wood work.
i cannot believe that God has any problem with homosexulaity. I cannot
believe that it is a sin. If the bible says that it is, then the bible
is wrong. i find the anti-homosexuality prevailent in most christian
churches absolutely repulsive.

I went to see the doctor of phiosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me.
