You can have the proverbial "last word" on this topic if you'd like.
No, in that thread you were told that "sodomite" is offensive, and that if you don't mean to be offensive, then you shouldn't use it,
not that it can't be used to denote homosexuals. Now you too prideful to admit that you went back on your word and so make up lies about "later" discovering that actually "sodomite" can be used to refer to homosexuals to justify your trolling people here by using it. This ignores the reason brought up in the original discussion, which you seemed to assent to, which was about how "sodomite" is now considered an offensive and homophobic term.
Even worse, now you are trying to justify breaking your word by suggesting that your trolling and offending liberals here is a form of Christian evangelism. It is a Christian witness of sorts, but not one you should want.
