    I remember being downtown, years ago, with a childhood friend of mine and a co-worker of his (she was quite a dish).

    As we were walking around, some guy came around and was (clearly drunk or something) going around giving out "high fives".

    He went up to my friends friend and gave her a high five, and then to my friend he did the same but went "hey, just because I'm gay doesn't mean I'm flirting with you" and then when he got to me he stopped and said "well, with you, maybe I am".

    and I high-fived him.

    After he left, my friend asked me if I was bothered by it (I am not one for hugging, etc).
    "the only thing I was concerned about was that guy needs to see an optometrist, as he's clearly losing his vision"

    Baptism and communion are for believers in Christ. i.e. Christians. It's a personal decision and not one for me to judge. It's between them and God, period.

    I don't do communion and wasn't baptized for obvious reasons.

    While men here found inappropriate touching an annoyance, I don't see any of you feeling threatened.

    If they want to be baptized and take communion, that's certainly their choice. Lemme ask you, do you know the significance of those specific sacraments?

    So according to you out of these 3 sacraments, one of them isn't available to gay people.

    I asked you a question. Are you going to answer it?

    BTW, there's a difference between covenants and sacraments.

    I had a former co worker of mine gyrate her hips towards me (we were holding something up).

    I didn't necessarily feel threatened, but I definitely did not appreciate it and felt it made me feel super uncomfortable.

    Distanced myself from her from that moment on

    So do marriages that are done outside of church (universal life ministries I think), not count?

    In this day and age, not really sure why you'd have her do that. Sounds like trouble, for sure.

    You ask a lot of questions, but are terrible at answering them.

    Baptism cleanses one from sins and offers them a metaphorical rebirth. Apparently, one has to be baptized to get to heaven.

    For communion you eat crackers and drink wine that represent Jesus's body and blood to remember he died on the cross for everyone.

    There are religious people out there who believe gay people can't go to heaven. What's your take on that?
