don't think so, your job as a Christian is to show compassion. In fact, I'd say, compassion is what all religious people should demonstrate to their brothers and sisters of other faiths and beliefs. Jude: Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. In the very same way, these dreamers pollute their own bodies, reject authority and slander celestial beings... ..But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'd say, compassion is what all religious people should demonstrate to their brothers and sisters of other faiths and beliefs. There is a difference between compassion and acceptance. Just as there is a difference between night and day. You do not believe....so if that is true...why are you bothered by ANYTHING I do? oh...so you DO believe. You DO have faith... Jesus came to seek and save the lost....if there is no right or wrong, then Jesus is lying about what He says about Himself, according to you, right? I do not believe that to be true. If I died to sin by being buried in Him...why would I want to live in it any longer, or why would I want ANYONE to teach my family to live in squalor?
