“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

I share this sentiment. If Christians spent as much time focusing on those violating their God's much greater sins of the 10 Commandments, I might respect them more.

Instead, their primary focus/obsession always is with gay people. I find it detestable and abhorrent the wrath and judgment Christians heap on other American tax paying, law biding citizens merely for who they love.

Christian's actions continue to drive more and more people away from their objectives and not surprising, they are blind to it. Albert Einstein once said the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over expecting different results.

Just a couple quick things. As a Christian, one sin isn't "greater" than the other.

I see the topic of homosexuality brought up on a daily basis it seems. My guess is since you see it constantly you will see someone respond with a differing opinion if they disagree. If this equates to making it our "primary focus" then so be it I guess. Our primary focus is actually introducing non-believers to our Christ, but I will agree that some go about it the wrong way.

As a parting thought....it sometimes seems to me that Christians are expected to keep their mouth shut when a subject comes up that goes against their beliefs or else we are labeled as intolerant, ignorant, homophobic, hate mongers, or some other adjective. If you read the responses counting mine since this thread was bumped there are only 2 that appear to be stating the Christian viewpoint.

Brittney Griner book: Baylor's stance on homosexuality caused 'pain'

"I would love to be an ambassador for Baylor, to show my school pride, but it's hard to do that — it's hard to stand up and say, 'Baylor is the best!' — when the administration has a written policy against homosexuality," Griner wrote in the book. "I've spent too much of my life being made to feel like there's something wrong with me. And not matter how much support I felt as a basketball player at Baylor, it still doesn't erase all the pain I felt there."

I'm pretty sure Baylor's policies on religion and homosexuality were established long before Grinder was recruited. If this was a sensitive issue for her, why in the world did she chose to go to Baylor?

She didn't chose Baylor, Baylor was chosen for her by her father. He's a retired, by the book military lifer who now serves with the Harris (Houston) County Sherrif's Dept...homosexuality isn't in his book. He chose Baylor because of Mulkey's hard nosed, boot in your arse disciplnary style. It came back to bite him in the butt, Kim became a buffer between the two. On well more than one occasion, in front of the team and staff, Kim got in his face and told him to stfu. This is why not a single one of former teammates have stepped foward to back up her claims. Once turned 18 she could of said f you I'm transferring, what program would have said no, but she didn't. Why? My guess is she wondered if a new coach and teammates would step up and protect and defend her like the ones at Baylor.

Now that she has left, she seems to be acting out imo. For a school that has caused her such pain, she seems to come back to campus as often as she can. This past fall she returned to campus and tearfully apologized for remarks she made about Baylor after she left school. And now this book.

Very troubled young woman.
