Christian’s do not want homosexual’s in their church. Most churches don’t even want to talk to “them”. In fact Christian’s put homosexual’s in the same category as murderer’s, child molester’s, Kid napper’s, an worse. Christian’s put homosexual’s in bad categories. To be a homosexual is not a sin, but to practice homosexual, that is condemned. No homosexual could be accepted. But for nowhere does Jesus say anything about gay people. If homosexual was such a sin, does it make sense that Jesus would have talked about it, at least once. But Jesus did not. Some churches allow homosexuals to be in their church, but other's take it to believe that there shall not be homosexual's in their church. No matter what churches think, homosexuals and christians are still brother's and sister's. Churches are not yet in touch with the bible enough to have a gay stand up and protest that they should be accepted. But they have already been accepted at calvary. There should be no difference between Gay and straight people.
 * CONFLICTS**

Christians are not free to believe whatever they want.They shouldn’t abandon the bible when they begin to think about public issue. The Bible does not propose nor endorse any specific political system. The Americas first constitution was an impact from christianity. At least 50 of the 55 signers of the U.S. Constitution were orthodox Christians. The idea that all men are created equal in the Declaration of Independence is biblical.
