An abomination is a word used in scripture, to describe an evil, vile, or disgusting act.

I used that word, because it is the word used by all christians, who believe homosexuality is wrong, to describe homosexuality.

I am very learned in scripture. The Mennonite church really pushes their members, especially children, to not only memorize scripture, but to search it for the truth. Unlike some faiths that preach on dogma and doctrine, the Mennonites rely more heavily on the scripture (Bible) itself.

Something I noticed in your posts, that I wanted to clarify. When I left the church, I did it in such a way, that I could still have "fellowship".. meaning contact and interaction with them, without making them choose between following the church's teaching, and following their heart where I was concerned. My family, while supportive, even to the point of inviting my (ex) g/f, to family functions and included her in family photo's, do NOT think that homosexuality is right, but love me in spite of what they feel about my sexuality. I wanted to make that known and understood.

Perhaps I'll start another thread, explaining more about how I came to embrace both my faith and my sexuality.

Again, thank you so much for your interest and for making me feel so welcome.
