If AIDS is a plague sent by Smith's God, then I "want nothing to do with Smith's God. Smith's God is merciless.. He is murdering hundreds of children, women and men by a virus called AIDS. Lesbians must be His most righteous people since they are least likely to get AIDS. In fact, God never mentioned one word about lesbianism in the Old Testament. Surely lesbianism existed in those times. The God that I worship is loving and Kina and will judge me with love and compassion. Mr. Smith claims that he is not judging homosexuals and acts as if he is quoting God directly and verbatim on the issue of homosexuality. Mr. Smith IS judging homosexuals by preaching his own INTERPRETATION of the Bible. My interpretation of the Bible is different from Mr. Smith's.

Mr.1 Smith professes to be Christian. Smith is not Christian, he is Satan-t- he Father of Lies. Don't listen to him. Smith presently lives in a state of hell.

It would prove wise for Smith to study ancient Hebrew and Greek, especially regarding this passage of scripture in Genesis. It seems ridiculous to me to argue against homosexuality on the basis of ancient scriptures. God is not homophobic. He answers my prayers and He loves me. It's OK with God for me to be gay.

God's two greatest laws are: 1. to love God, and 2. to love your neighbor as yourself. If homosexuality is ,a sin, as Smith claims, then it's way down on the list. I'm ashamed of Mr. Smith for and for his ignohis rance. I'm also ashamed of the way that many Mormons treat homosexuals. If any group of people should be understanding and compassionate toward gays and lesbians, it's Mormons. After all, Mormons were driven to Utah because of their generally unaccepted board and room and transportation. ' anti-Christliken- sexual practices.
