Well, before anybody says "but you left this thread", I'm posting here because it's the top thread on Tony's old site.

Since Steven left, I've noticed that complaints to beliefnet about violations of terms of agreement (people advocating physical violence against gays is not covered by the "it's ok to hate gays clause) and the tolerance for racists has risen enormously.

Perhaps, and I hope this is the case, this is simply because the new leadership is not yet fully up to speed. More likely, I fear, is that the new leadership is more in keeping with the other members of their corporate group and we are seeing beliefnet now drift in directions which are antithetical to pro-choice, pro-civil-rights for gays directions.

I'll monitor the situation, but for those here who have genuinely shown Christian charity to me over the last years, thank you. I didn't want to just vanish into thin air - all the other pantherae on the net aren't me so when the Panthera goes off-line here, there's no where else I post under my real third name. We've seen folks like Old_Susan disappear over the years and worried about her.

Ann,

I do not attend Church services anywhere where adultery is celebrated.

Nor do I find fellowship with those that demand celebration of it.

That would be going back to my old days of being a liberal and further to my atheist life.

Like to Jesus, Sodom is no myth to me either.

"Sorry, Mere_Christian, I really have no idea what you are talking about."

GLBT's do though. And I pray you stay ignorant of that. But then again, GLBT reality may be a good thing for you to see.

Mere_Christian,

Sorry, I don't believe you.

Ann,

I'll make it through somehow.

But certainly you can see that Sodom was no metaphor. You interact with the 21st century version of its citizens (progressives and liberals) here on this blog. And last time I looked, Obama was put into office by these same people.
