Then he will also say to those on his left, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; Because I was hungry, and you did not feed me; I was thirsty, and you did not give me drink; Being a foreigner, you did not take me in; being naked, you did not clothe me; and sick, and in prison, you did not visit me. Then they too will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve you?

Eu definitivamente não entendo o por quê as pessoas não se respeitam. Não consigo entender o por quê de uma pessoa “caçoar” da outra pelo fato dela amar alguém que não é o oposto do seu sexo.
