If you truly want to follow the lessons of Jesus, you don’t call others “deviants” or categorize them unfairly.

My sweet young friend, devout, has found sheer thrill in her mega-liberal Northeast university in a big bad city. She sought out a church that fit her beliefs, threw herself into its activities- and practiced her faith by welcoming all; she does not judge, and lives her life as an example and role model. She found, immediately, that her own strength and conviction, combined with a truly generous spirit, drew many to her, led them to hear her out, etc. Her friends are of many backgrounds; she looks for- and finds- the good in them. I adore her for this, though my own beliefs are different. I respect her so much.

I am not encouraging you to make the decision in one way or another- just to be careful how you judge others. Good luck.
