A very good montage. It's sad that reality is so twisted... I still hope for things to get better in time.

As far as the Western world goes, Christians invented homophobia.  The Romans and the Greeks before them didn't have any problems with it.

Were was the T?

Barry Winchell was a straight man in love with transsexual Calpernia Addams.

Other than that the message was spot on...

A lot of Christians who claim to be Christians are not really Christians...

So true...

Heck...even if other Christians see us as enemies, they're forgetting another important scripture. "Love your enemy." A Christian should only fight to save lives, not destroy them.

As far as the Western world goes, Christians invented homophobia.  The Romans and the Greeks before them didn't have any problems with it.

It would be more accurate to say the Jews "invented" it, but the Greeks (and likely Romans, who basically just copied the Greeks) wouldn't necessarily approve of our modern concepts of homosexuality as they don't match the concepts of "Beauty" in which the Greeks believed. Then again, they also would find our heterosexual relationships just as absurd. We're more carnal than they were.

sitting in a pew every sunday doesnt make someone a christian anymore than climbing a tree makes them a squirrel

That's a good way of putting it.
