Thoughts on this article I dug up?

I'm Christian, unless you're gay.

alex2020 · 18th Nov 2011, 04:22 PM

Quite interesting. Jacob's story was quite sad. The article was pretty different than I thought it was going to be based off of the title, but despite that, it ended up being pretty good.

Doctor Faustus · 18th Nov 2011, 06:19 PM

Yeah. The author seems really compassionate and genuine.

DarkClarity · 19th Nov 2011, 06:05 AM

Good article.

Well written, thoughtful. The stock photos at the top of each page confused the hell out of me, though.

Just like Gandhi's saying..

"I like your Christ but I do not like your Christians."

I like it. The fact that it comes from a straight person makes it somehow a more meaningful message because he's an 'outsider' who is capable of loving us and sending out a message.

It's inspired me to try and make a piece of artwork with the same message.

Sigh. Guess I should go find my ex's ex that I hate. He doesn't really deserve my hate. This inspired me.

I wish I could say that I was more impressed.
It appeared to be a slight bit repetitive to me but I get the gist of what he's tryíng to say, and its a good message. I've been living by it for the longest time.
But...I'm glad others were inspired by it.
