Oh, no! I hope no one thought I was advocating that sort of "you're all going to hell if you don't do as I say" sort of religion. That's almost worse than none at all!! I know what harm it can do, and I think that's a sin, too.

I agree that they're very hurt, and need a lot of love from God and the Christian community, but I don't think that "accepting" their sins is going to be very loving. (and I'm not saying any of this is you, either...)
