I fail to see how anyone can practice any form of religion and select which bits they agree with and which bits they don't.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to define your friends as gay, male and married that practice tolerance, understanding, charity, kindness and compassion?

+1

But I'm guessing it's the friends that are defining themselves as "Christian". Bless. They should watch the Rowan Atkinson video upthread!

That would be accurate yes, but I should have defined it further by saying that they practice a particular type of Christianity that does not think homosexuality is a sin,

It sounds a bit like my particular branch of Christianity, where we don't think there is a god. :)

Why limit it to Christianity? I've seen the selective approach in supposedly devout Muslims and Jews.

No. Just take as read that I have seen duplicity at first hand (in Jews, Muslims, Christians and other faiths).

Alright...I'll take your word for it, as I do not know you personally. Am guessing it's in All "Jews, Muslims, Christians and other faiths" as you put it? Fairs do

I do not recall saying "all".

For a supposedly serving member of the forces, you seem to have a lot of free time on your hands to post on an internet forum.

To bump up your assumption streak......Am actually off till Monday. So that should crush your doubt :D

You might not have said "all", but I don't recall reading "some" either

Who spends time on the internet on their "anniversary"...I know what I'll be doing if it was me
