If you would be talking to an 'intellectual' within that religion of Catholicism, which was the origonal statement, they would more likely use the higher ground and say what I said, which is to not act first, work on 'rehab' later.

I agree though that the position still isn't neutral, but the God hates fags people aren't the average member in my mind. People might not agree with homosexuality, but I doubt they'd be bursting at the seams to use the word hate.
