excuse me, but i think you are singling out a minority here. I know many
Christians that hold strong to their beliefs and act accordingly. Which is
better out of the following scenarios: (a) having principles and
occasionally failing to uphold them. (b) having no principles and
continually succeeding to have none. You decide. You expect Christians to
tolerate everything, yet you are intolerant of them?

neither did true Christians. those who truly believe are shown by their
actions. you will find this to be a truth that is written in the very Bible
that Christians accept as the word of God. the same goes for "do as i say,
not as i do." i'm not sure i understand the point of your post, though.
perhaps you are meaning to say that gays make better people than fake
Christians?
