I saw this article from our local paper (original link: http://www.gazette.com/display.php?id=1329936&secid=1). It’s about a conference entitled Out of the Shadows Into the Light. Basically, it’s a bunch of people who want to “dialogue” about homosexuality and Christianity.
But there’s a problem:
“There are rules. There is no ‘fixing.’ There is no trying to change people’s minds. We’re just there to listen to each other.”
HUH?!
There’s no “trying to change people’s minds”?
What’s.
The.
POINT?
Why even bother having this conference if you don’t want to influence people to your position? Basically, these organizers have set up the event in such a way that people show up and say: “This is my opinion.”
So what? If you’re not going to try to convince me of your opinion, keep it to yourself. I could care less about what you think, especially if you’re not even willing to defend it!
