**Yeah, I Know, there's nothing about me on this page... 
that's because I'm an ex-born again, and what's there to say... 
interesting story though.  I'll tell you some time.  But in the 
meantime, If you have friends or family members that are born 
again and homophobic, click here and 
maybe I can explain them to you alittle.  
Note: I fully respect anyone's right to be born again and this
is not meant as an insult, but mearly as an Explanation of the 
born again homophobe to the non-believer, not an excuse for them.

NOTE: Just because some one is born again DOES NOT mean that
they are homophobic!
