Jesus died to take away our sins, not our minds

During the sermon on October 17, 2010, the priest stated the following "...And remember, Jesus died to take away our sins, not our minds". I think that is pretty cool. I wish we all remembered that. I am a Christian and I believe the following:

1. Evolution is a scientific explanation of how God created the universe. They are not mutually exclusive.
2. The first scientists were clerics so there is no science without religion.
3. Homosexuals should be allowed to marry whomever they want if they want.
4. I do not understand how people can argue for Creationism or intelligent design and then argue that homosexuality is not natural. That one really confuses me. Either God created everything through a plan or God did not.
5. Not a surprise, but I believe homosexuality is natural.
6. Not really related to religion, but all straight guys should be happy there are homosexual guys. Less competition. Duh.
7. The sex of God is really not important.
8. Jesus could have been married or been dating Mary Magdalene. Would it make his works any less important or impressive?
9. There is an attack on Christianity in this country. The attack is by other Christians.
10. I long ago stopped trying to figure out God's plan and started working on my plan. I am pretty sure I have way more control over my plan. Free will and all.
11. I love liturgy and order in my religion. I especially love church being done within an hour and a half with coffee hour included.
