well of course you do: youve been owned, again.
You are a tribute to WrongPlanet's tollerance. Perhaps I am too!
Whatever you say Lukewarm: ignoring things doesn't make them go away.
I like how you don't respond to TheResistance, it's funny.
Deflect the issue, say something irrelevant and move on to asking Soph about her sexuality.
It's how you deal with most things.
Either that or quote the bible.
"I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will pwn you out of my mouth."

Sorry guys, I forgot you had all the answers. So I'll go ahead and step out of this discussion. I've got my salvation, so I'm set.

Yeah, that's the origin of this and other discussions for that matter.

We had been talking about marriage for a couple weeks, and I formally proposed to her Sunday. I first asked her out on April 7 of this year, so this has happened pretty quickly. We haven't set a date yet, but we're thinking sometime in the fall. To recap our relationship, I'm 28, and she's 56 -- yet we mesh together wonderfully. We met at our small church, which we had both been attending for almost 10 years, but we had never thought of each other in that way, until it just occurred to me one night (our church meets at sundown, and then goes out for dinner and coffee, late into the night) that she always had a smile on her face, and just seemed so full of joy and the love of Christ. Our religious beliefs are identical, which is rare to find even in a friend. We have lots of mutual friends, which is awesome. All my family and friends approve of her, which is quite stunning!
I'm just glad. (I'm an Aspie, so you'll have to take my word for it.

The problem here Ragtime is that you still believe that Soph is gay because that was her choice, you seem to think that if she just try with a guy then she might realize you were right and she was wrong, and say, "what a stupid c**t I was" (Sorry Soph, just making an example 
) or something like that.
You rely in the bible to comdenm homosexuality and thinking of it as a choice, a sinful one, without contemplating the scientific and biological aspects of sexual orientation.
You can cite the Bible and you can say anything christian you want, but that does not do any justice at all to minorities. And just justifies ignorance and prejudice, and hate, which is very sad. Sorry, but that is the TRUTH most poeple here will agree.
Not vey fair.

There is always an irony when these things happen. The stories about Jesus, which vary as all recollections do, at least consistently tell of a man who had an epiphany at 30 and walked around for a few years talking and communing with people who were deemed as less than these by the Jewish temples (meaning they weren't allowed inside for one reason or another). He wasn't about money, possessions or judgement, in fact he was quite the opposite, and was reported as saying "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I mean whether you believe it's sin or just people doing wrong to each other, that part is true, we've all done things we knew were wrong and usually to each other which makes none of us in any position to judge. Basically, that in-your-face refusal to judge others and insistence on including them earned him an early death by the people who were being prejudiced. Now those are the stories actually told about him (albeit in different variations over time, but always keeping to that premise), so I am always baffled when I see someone who purports to be a Christian, or in a literal sense attempting to be Christ-like, judging others all the time. It just makes me think they might have missed the the meaning by focusing too closely on certain paragraphs of the plot.

I wouldn't have sex with her though.
Wow. Sorry, that just surprises me.
I don't see why. There are some straight men who would say the same thing. I don't know whether I would be attracted to a transexual woman or not, I never have before. But I wouldn't completely rule it out, because it is possible that one day I would.
But again, you haven't completely ruled out straight men either, as you've said. So who really knows who you'll end up with?
what i dont get by these quotes.... is why you're suprised sopho would be in that sort of relationship....
yet you expect gay people to live in a sexless straight marriage and "choose" to live how god intended....
the situations seem kind of similar... making sopho's plight more noble since she's opting to be in the relationship for love... instead of tryng to avoid eternal damnation

Made the formal proposal Saturday. I'm half-Jewish, so I did the old Jewish custom where the hopeful suitor pours a glass of wine for the lady he wants to marry. She has about a minute to decide. If she drinks it, that means she's said yes. Otherwise, she'll simply leave the table, and that's a "no".
She drank.
Here's the ring I picked out and gave her:
