God knows who is accountable for what. It's a big job, stay tuned to Hank's Bible thread. He explains it to Job.

Faith is a gift. Who gets how much and why is up to God. And if you and I could understand this, then He wouldn't be God. You or I would be God.

Fruits aren't going to hell any faster than the straight guy stealing from his company or fucking a hooker on the side or sitting in his basement using epithets like "fruits" in discussions on Christian Dogmatics.

That's not what I've heard from our resident Christian expert.

And at that last line. You're a funny guy.

Now there is a slight caveat that should be added. As with ALL sin, we shouldn't encourage others to commit sins of any kind ... which does emphatically mean that one should be encouraged to not engage in homosexual activities.

BUT that same caveat also says that, for example, I should be encouraged to not say GD or to not hate this or that person or to not wish chas gets raped by a giraffe, no matter how funny it may sound.

So, being a fruit isn't something to be celebrated like it's some great achievement. By the same token, to pick them out and spitefully call them burritos and tell them they're going to hell without any chance of salvation is a terrific way to show that the value of your relationship and knowledge of God is worth approximately 'dick'.

I also don't think being a homersexual should be celebrated any more or less than being a non-fruit.

But what about being "fruit adjacent"???

Or "homer-adjacent"?

Or "Houston adjacent"?

I wouldn't mind being Houston Homer adjacent.

Seacrest will just continue to say that it's God's decision, not his, and then keep on explaining undeniable facts about what God thinks.

Wow......that is surprising. Good for him. This Pope seems like he might be the most forward-thinking Pope of recent vintage. Low bar but you have to start somewhere.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Good has a source. It's name is God. He is only re-iterating what has been taught by others for centuries.
