    I read this a few weeks back at Patheos and went back and skimmed it again. Perhaps it could help sort out some issues that affect predispositions, or perhaps not. Anyway...

    Then there is old age, when neither sex tries to hit on you anymore. ;-)

    That can be a blessing as well as a curse, Charles.

    I would agree. LOL.
  • Can I encourage you to NOT protest such a thing? Your true "protest" will be in not attending the original event that you plan to protest.


    Amen.

    "I do know that "gay sins" get a lot more attention from some quarters than most any other sin." More even than some sexual sins. Now, I'm not saying those things aren't important; I think that sex is the mother of heresy, in ways that many other sins just aren't. But when do you hear a homily about gluttony or gossip? They'd have to shut the abandoned parish down.

    ...kind of taken a back seat
    "One man, one woman, one time" is a little too reminiscent of old South Africa though, isn't it?

    The original requester hasn't clarified whether the circumstances dictate organ (I do have a weakness for "Onward Christian Soldiers"), 4-part a cappella, Gregorian chants in a sidewalk acoustic or, God forbid, something suitable for ukelele. Looking at that first post, "Stand up, stand up for Jesus" leapt to mind.

    Then there's the old spiritual, O Mary Don't You Weep...

    "God gave Noah the rainbow sign, no more water the fire next time"
