Well technically I attend a baptist church, but I've always kind of appreciated the non-denominational feel to it all.

Two questions. 1. Is the baptist church (the church not necessarily you) anti-gay? I don't know the positions most Christian churches take on that. 2. Have you ever noticed there are loads of baptist churches in some areas? Like once when I was driving in D.C. I saw a least half a dozen baptist churches on the same stretch of road. [spoiler]Also I'm Catholic.[/spoiler]

The term anti-gay just seems so hateful to me. But technically, yes. But that doesn't mean the baptist church hates gays. Rather they want to show them the love of God and if there was ever a way to show them that it's not fully acceptable by God and to change their ways that we can. But that is much easier said then done. And yes. I live in Louisiana, a state founded on very strong Christian beliefs. We have parishes contrary to the rest of the country that has counties. A parish originally contained on Catholic church, per parish. I see lots of churches of all kinds.

-
No, no one is ever forced into believing anything they don't want to believe. Rather they want to show them what to Bible says and to show them that they have something so great and perfect waiting for them in heaven.

If they believe in it
-
If they choose to believe in it. Some Christian faithfuls unfortunately do seem forceful. I choose to seem more open and welcoming opposed to forcing words and thoughts down peoples throats. I share what I know and believe and it's up to others to decide how they feel about what I have to say.
