As I am no christian maybe my voice is very small, but from what I understand, the members of this forum are really trying their very best to live their faith, and for that they deserve the highest respect.

One can be a boylover (if celibate) and a follower of any faith, as long as one is really striving.

Goethe lets the angels speak in his "Faust", perhaps the greatest Drama ever written in German:

"Gerettet ist das edle Glied/der Geisterwelt vom Bösen/wer immer strebend sich bemüht,/den können wir erlösen"

"Saved is the noble member/of this world from evil:/he, who ever striving, toils/him we can redeem"

Warmly,
