"we will help you with aids if you renounce your religion and adopt Christianity"!! I haven't read anything like that about him. But if that is true, he could do so towards gay marriages as well.

help not freely given but given with preconditions is not help but extortion. some people and countries and peoples distrust missionairies because... uhm... oh, ya, the history books are full of reasons, as, sadly, are current events. jesus, that i know of in my reading of texts, never once extorted anyone for a pass to heaven and certainly not for a meal. it was he given water when he thirsted by a woman who asked nothing in return, and for that he blessed her. She was a model of all he thought people could and should be, unlike like those who jealousy held a key to paradise and made you jump through hoops for it. btw, no idea what 3-deminsional thinking is. smile. but then I don't what the heck triangulation means, either.
