Angela-I have said nothing about your religious beliefs and that played no
part in my saying you sounded like a bigot. I don't care what religion you
believe in or if you do at all. Seems like you are a bit paranoid sweetie.
Again, I said you SOUNDED like a bigot, not that you ARE a bigot. Get it?
there is a difference. and I still think what you said sounded ignorant
and bigoted. As I said in my email explaining this, please try to examine
why one might say this. We all have prejudices and we all have times where
we have bigoted ideas and expressing them will offend someone somewhere. I
have no intentions of hurting you, I only spoke my mind and I stand by
everything I have said.

Hi Candi,
By all means if you have to say something say it - but why not try to make
sure that it is really healthy and honest - so that you do not misjudge
people
and really hurt them by implying lies!
I am telling you - I am not a bigot - I know myself better then you know
me!
I was genuinely curious - you assumed I was being a bigot - because you
know I
am Christian - you assumed I would be anti-gays - A false assumption on
your
part - led you to misinterpret my intentions. See how it works!
Do not PRE-JUDGE people based on their religious beliefs - do not assume
that
people are ill-intentioned without presenting the misunderstanding to them
first! How wrong to assume that I would be anti-gay because I am Christian
_
God loves everyone! I do not harbor any ill against gays - they have just
as
much right to life and to love as anyone else - they are JUST people with
different sexual preferences - so what - However, I do not understand
their
intentions regarding pro-creation - I thought maybe by asking some
questions
would help me to do that - however, again, those questions were
misinterpreted
as bigoted! Just remember that I am NOT a bigot OK!
Peace!
Angela
