The site 'has never been limited to a Christian audience or to any subset,' says a company lawyer.
Comment: I'm sick of Christians being told that we HAVE to accept and cater to homosexuals. They want their rights? Well, SO DO WE. If a site doesn't accept gays and lesbians - then they should go to a site that DOES accept them. And they need to stop all their whining and complaining and demanding that the whole world accept something that God never intended. GOOD FOR EHARMOMY.
Comment: Good for eHarmony. I wish more businesses would stand up for a real value system and not bend for the tiny fraction of screwballs trying to force thier warped ideas on the rest of us. Christian values need to be reintruduced to this country, after all our USA was founded on Christian principals.
Comment: I don't think the suit against eHarmony has merit. Does eHarmony have to facilitate homosexual romance because it facilitates hteroxexual romance? I think not. Does a publisher of romance books have to publish stories of gay love too? I do not see how a private company can be forced to service gays. Gays can go to sites that are setup for facilitating gay romance. It seems qualitatively different than requiring hotels to serve people of every race.
Comment: As a 5'3" Physicist and concert pianist who was matched with a subliterate 6'6" man by e-Harmony, I would really like to know their "matching algorithm". (After many more offers of the sort, I'm no longer a member of the site.)

Comment: Good for eharmony. I wish I could find men as evolved as I am on a site. Atheists who are funny, gorgeous like me, work, no drugs, integrity, sexy, loyal, and the magic that makes people click. I could care less about eharmony. This country has far bigger problems because of religion that a site for ignorant people to meet each other-good.
Comment: (1) eHarmony.com is a private business.
(2) The business offers one service: matching people with a member of the opposite sex.
(3) If gay people want to be matched with a member of the opposite sex, then they can seek that service from eHarmony. If not, then they must find a private business that offers the service that they are interested in purchasing.
Where is the discrimination?
Comment: Geez, leave Neil Clark Warren and eHarmony alone. What's the big deal if it's a site devoted to creating lasting marriages? At this point marriages are still predominantly heterosexual. There are plenty of other sites that address different types of unions, hookups, and whatnot. I don't hear anyone complaining about those millionaire matchmaking websites...that could be considered discrimination, too. Socioeconomic discrimination. I also don't hear anyone complaining about those late night chat lines that are targeted specifically to a homosexual market on broadcast TV. Big deal, it's not like someone can't get a job, eat in a restaurant, or sit in the front of the bus--it's just not a service for all. I don't complain if a barber shop doesn't do women's hair. The Politically Correct police are just breathing down America's back far too much, methinks! (And I think if the founder was a Scientologist or a Muslim, I don't imagine there'd be this type of backlash.) Find a real cause to fight, like hunger, AIDS, or real bigotry!
Comment: thanks, later
Comment: Really gotta go this time. It's been fun...later.
Comment: It is, I bet you don't THINK about your sinus problems much anymore!
Comment: hey, they told me 'lobotomy' was the technical term for a sinus surgery!
Comment: True, sorry for the reach...
Comment: again, rather presumptuous...assuming that I have a mind....
Comment: Iwasbs&u2 you're a legend in your own mind! (kidding, or not, again)
Comment: I don't intend to offend anyone, so if I do...well, I have accomplished more than I set out to do (making me a highly productive overachiever).
Comment: As Christian, if I've offended anyone here, I apologize.
Comment: This is in response to people like Dr.Cerebro (LOL!!) who equate homosexual relationships with bestiality. I???m going to explain to you why this argument is idiotic.
The basis of any healthy and sane human relationship is CONSENT. This forms the legal basis for which our society differentiates, for example, a sexual act between two willing participants and rape. Just in case you don???t know what rape is, rape is a sexual act done against the will of one participant or when one participant is unable to give consent (because of mental or physical impairment).
So in order for any union to be legally recognized, there must be two participants who are psychologically and physically capable of voicing their consent. Therefore, our society cannot legalize marriages between adults and children (hear that, FLDS!) or adults and animals BECAUSE CHILDREN AND ANIMALS CANNOT GIVE CONSENT AS REQUIRED BY THE LAW.
What angers gays so much is that as CONSENTING adult human beings who happen to be HOMOSEXUAL, their relationships are not treated as legally equal to those of CONSENTING adult human beings who happen to be HETEROSEXUAL.
And ClintonsSuck, as a heterosexual woman, yeah I totally agree with you. Male genitalia are about the GROSSEST things on God???s green earth. But trust me, after a time, you do acquire a taste for it. Give it a chance!
Comment: As a true Christian, I would never stoop to calling a non-believer names or ridiculing them. Remember that Jesus came under the guise of someone who was rejected and killed by the very people who claimed to be awaiting His advent. We do not know, when He returns, that He will not use the same ruse as a means of separating the chaff from the wheat amongst those who profess to believe.
???Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.??? Matthew 25:40
Comment: Soooo, we're talking about a free market where people have a lot of options. What's wrong with appealing to or serving a LARGE part of the population that actually does share Christian values? Not even Christian, just a certain type of family values? If someone doesn't like it, they can go somewhere else. It's sad that people are actually suing because a company doesn't share their ideologies.
Comment: I think epicmiller makes a valid point. I mean, whenever I try to quote from the Book of Iwasbs&u2, no one pays attention. Now that's an abomination!
Comment: I think it's an abomination that you don't like the term abomination.
Comment: it's interesting to me that Christian's always use the "abomination" verbage lifted from the Bible, however, when confronted with other passages that seem ridiculous to modern society, they have not response. They start with the "God is love", or as said many times here, "you are angry, let God in". It seems that the Bible is only used when it reflects someone's personal opinions, other issues are disregarded. if you are going to condemn someone because their behavior is forbidden in the bible, then you should accept all the teachings.
personally i don't believe in the Bible, but am happy for others who find peace or purpose in it. i will not, however, pay attention when i'm being persecuted by those quoting it. Quoting it only makes sense to those who believe it. Do christian's pay attention when muslims quote the quran.....no.
Comment: Iwasbs&u2 I said I was kidding, but no, you can't.
Comment: I happen to know IWASBS personnaly and you should know that he does this all the time. He takes a side, whether he believes it or not, and goes with it just to see what people will say. Trust me , you might be misjudging him. You will never really know what he really believes.

Comment: jwal-- last trip? no way, I can sink a lot lower!
Comment: I happen to know this guy "IWASBS" and I have to say that he does this all the time. He will play devil's advocate sometimes and take a side that he does not even believe just to get people to talk. Trust me when I say that you will never really know what side of this discussion he really stands on. He might be pulling your leg just to see what you have to say. I also know that he has absolutely no hate for God whatsoever. I hope that this will help soften the tension I percieve here.
Comment: Yeah but if it's true that, as they say, with reincarnation you come back as a lesser being, you're on your last trip.
Kidding again!
Comment: See jwal, doesn't is feel good to lighten up? Life is simple, you're born, you live, you die. Repeat.
Comment: IWASBE - I have to tell you - when I was stuck in my anger toward God (for which I had plenty of reasons) I simply told Him - I had to let my anger out. Then I told Him that on my own I was not capable of conquering that anger and if it was His will He would have to do it. When I step out of the way it's when He does His greatest work. Now I'm late - God bless
Comment: So, by your definition, me letting a childish argument (spelling errors) pass without comment, means it went over my head...as I sais earlier, it must be tough being you. Please stop talking about your dog throwing up (kidding)!
Comment: Iwasbs how can you not see how obviously angry and disillusioned you are with this world - and I'm sure you have your reasons. I challenge you to pray wholeheartedly to God - if He is this mythological creature you say He is, then you are simply talking to thin air - no harm done. But if He does exist, and wants a right relationship with you, then you have much to gain. I'm out for the day - but good luck to you - really - I mean that. Life sucks sometimes.
Comment: Too bad you cannot enjoy a short satirical interlude during our discussion. The Hence (sic) was a jab at your typing glitch. I also provided you with two errors in my reply to jab back with...but it apparently went over your head.
I enjoy actual intellectual debates, but not dogmatic regurgitations.
Comment: Iwasbs&u2 you do seem fairly knowledgable. Brings me in mind of the "gains the whole world but loses his soul" quote!!!!!!
Comment: Iwasbs&u2 - you did resort to spellchecker as part of your argument [Henc (sic)]. Pretty sad, pretty sad!!!
Comment: No time to clarify what I know (or do not) about the 613 laws of Moses and their applicability to us. If the OLD law was used to defend your position (earlier in this forum), then we must allow the use of expanded inquiry. Ground rules were not established by me, only followed. Please clarify your protocol and maybe we can engage in intelligent cognitive dissonance without the paltry ranting. FYI-I am graduated from a seminary, an ordained (by a major christian religion) as a high priest, served foreign missions in the name of Jesus (to save lost souls...like me now!). So, do no presume to know the limits of my understanding of your version of mythology.
Aversion is a common psychological defense employed by those faced with the inevitable reality that they have no valid defense. Henc (sic), your refusal to reply to my inquiries; your personal attacks and assumptions about me. For the record: I have not stated my personal beliefs...only facilitated interaction on this forum.
Comment: You're clearly not "seeking clarification on these laws of God" but good try on trying to make me feel bad about it. We Christians aren't perfect, nor do we claim to be. Our God however, is. If you would rather "reign in hell than serve in heaven" then I'll definitely pray for you. While that may sound cool to you, it really is a sad choice.
Comment: I'm no Bible scholar, but I can tell you everything you are quoting was the Law written by Moses prior to the New Covenant. I can also tell you Christ died for our sins and the He loves you IWASBS. He put it on my heart to pray for you. If it were up to my own will I would simply find you annoying and ignore you. And if you want to burn any animals you better check on getting a permit :-)
Comment: See Iwasbs&u2 - you don't know the difference between the Old Covenant and the New one, henc "NEW" Testament!! There isn't room on this blog to convert someone with a hard heart such as yourself. However, please quit trying to get us to tell you how much to charge for your daughter. You best know her worth. Plus, please don't commit suicide, even though it must be tough being you. We're praying for you!
Comment: So anyone seeking clarification on these laws of god is a moron? Like Moses? He was the one who originally asked for this guidance. I am seeking further clarification from those, like you, who are obviously more enlightened than I. BTW-If this is the god I would have to spend eternity with, I would rather be in hell.
Better an open mind than a soft heart.
Comment: WOW, you can "cut & paste". This has NOTHING to do with why I believe but, bottom line, if I'm wrong the worst is I have to argue with morons like you. If YOU'RE wrong, you're screwed for eternity!!!!! (I don't mean that in a good way)
Comment: I am still waiting for the answers to my questions. These are your god's laws, so please explain how to obey them.
Comment: Like I said IWASBS, I've had my anger issues with God, and that was my reaction - deny His existence. But what He has done in my life I cannot deny. He's loving and patient and I pray that He will heal your hurts and soften your heart.
Comment: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your sermons, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord. (Lev.1:9) The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with any woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness. (Lev.15:19-24) The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev.11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. In Deuteronomy 22:5 God tells us that wearing clothing belonging to the opposite gender is an abomination. Must I kill women who wear pants, or can I simply force them to remove the offending garment?
11. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Comment: There goes that pesky evolution theory! Iwasbs&u2 actually regressed. Someone peed in the gene pool and we got Iwasbs&u2!!! Do you think that that makes you superior? You now believe in nothing. Congrats!!!
Comment: Standing up for morals and decency is never ridiculous. It's required of Christians. Just doing our duty. Plus, spjon, you really do sound angry.
Comment: How can you be angry at a mythological creature? If your are placated by your supplications to the great-invisible-man-in-the-sky, more power to you. No anger issues here, quite content that I am no longer where you are! Been there, done that!
Comment: So what. If you're too short for the ride, get out of line, and pick one that suits you. There are dating sites for the "ultra beautiful"- well I guess that's discrimination. And I'm sure you could probably find a dating venue or web site for any connection you'd like to make, even if it is with a furry sheep. Instead of whining, someone could create a homosexual-centric dating site. Who cares? Here's what is beautiful about America. Vote with your dollars!
Comment: You are taking it out of context. This was the law written by Moses. They did a lot of things back then - such as pre arranged marriages etc. You seem to have a lot of anger toward God. I've been there. I will pray for you - whether you like it or not.
Comment: I'm not angry at God. Not angry at anyone. It's really all just ridiculous.
Comment: God allowed slavery, he also allowed sin, that doesn't make it right. That also doesn't mean that He approved. Slavery was allowed as punishment for their sins. However, they were expected to conduct themselves properly even under slavery. If you actually READ the bible you'll realize that they weren't sold as sexual slaves, just as house keepers. Their owners were required to treat them properly and support them. They were also to be freed after a certain time period. Keep trying!
Comment: 1) You really shouldn't defend slavery regardless of how it was to be practiced.
2) If you're contractually obligated to free them, then they were never really slaves (more like au pairs) and this entire conversation is moot.
3) I think we can both agree that we'll probably never agree on anything...especially something that you can't prove or not prove (if there really is no God) until after you die anyway. I hope the Muslims are right by the way.

Comment: Exodus states: And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. Notice god did not say it is not permitted, only the restrictions on the daughter after being sold!
Comment: Agree with him? The bible says "If a man sells his daughter..." Where in liberal land does that give instruction?
Comment: That's a little better but you're still off. Might not be instruction, but it certainly sounds like permission.
Comment: You probably would sell your daughter if the price was right!
Comment: Nice one...but way to not disagree with him either.
Comment: Deuteronomy 21:18-21: How to handle stubborn kids? Stone them to death!
Comment: Chemistry.com is an affiliate of match.com, eHarmony's largest competitor. When I first saw the print ads for Chemistry.com, and saw the tag lines like, "Meet someone you'd want to go to bed with," I thought, "Well, gee. If they have THAT much chemistry, why do they need a dating service?"
Comment: First of all being gay is not a choice. Whether you decide to act on it or not is, but if you were gay then I don't see why you wouldn't. As far as I'm concerned marriage is a sacred term that has no place in the government anyway......they should all be civil unions. 2 people deciding to devote their lives to each other should be protected regardless of the logistics of it. Homosexuality doesn't attack core family values because all it really does is reinforce them. It shows that everyone wants to have a family, to raise, and protect, and to love. Your orientation shouldn't have anything to do with it, especially when it does not directly effect you or anyone else for that matter. Let's not forget, democracy is majority rule with minority rights, and people always seem to forget the latter part. Who cares about match.com anyway, there are a billion other sites. The people who have made this suit are stupid and need to get a life...bet you all didn't see that coming.

Comment: I agree w/ Phillygwm. If eHarmony wants to cater to a hetero based audience why shouldn't they be allowed to do that. There are plenty of "gay" community aimed websites and websites that cater to all sexual desires. This lawsuit seems off base. All companies decided who their "target base" is and market to them, obviously gays are not their audience . Also on the site there are not any degrading anti-gay slogans.
Comment: ZzJustMezZ - God said that homosexuality was an abomination. That's NOT a good thing. Read the bible. If a sinner doesn't REPENT of their sin, which means to turn away from it, they're NOT forgiven.
Comment: As a gay man, I don't see why eHarmony SHOULDN'T be allowed to cater to whatever subset of society it chooses. Sure, it's bad press that they're anti-gay (or would be racist if they chose only to setup white folks, for that matter) But hey, if eHarmony doesn't want my money, there are other sites on the web that will happily take my credit card and find a date for me.
Comment: jasper_r states: "Everyone needs to just take a pill and relax. Who cares if I don't agree with you, or if you don't agree with me? It's not going to change my life or yours. People need to be allowed to do what they want without fear of offending anyone as long as it's not criminal."
Then argues against that very tenet! Anyone who has ever watch a single TV ad for eHarmony.com knows that all of their couples are same race, heterosexuals. Even my 12 year old daughter asked 'why are all the couples the same race?'
As for the the comments by Dr Cerebro, it would be interesting to search your computer HDD and internet search history to see just how 'slippery' you are.

Comment: I am a Christian and do not hate gays. I have friends who are not heterosexual and they are wonderful people. They know I do not agree with their lifestyle; yet we are able to have candid, honest discussions about it - without being hateful at all. Likewise with my pro-abortion friends. They know my feelings and we are able to discuss it and remain respectful. We are to reflect Christ's love. The Bible tells us all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God - it does not say all have sinned except Christians.
Comment: I think eharmony has the right to exclude anyone they want. They are right in refusing to accept homosexuals who want to hook up. There are many places for them to do that such as gay bars and parks, and public bathrooms. Who knows...They may even find George Michael or Larry Craig there!!
Comment: We have hearts too
As a member of a distinct and rather peculiar social group, I find it truly unfair that all the public attention should be focused on heterosexual versus gay relationships. E-harmony by no means should ignore gays and lesbians or any other group who seeks to find fulfillment in meaningful relationships.
We like the gay community suffer intense moral persecution from Christian fundamentalists and biased bigots who think that marrying animals is a sin or a sexual aberration,
Due to the ostracizing of our values, it is nearly impossible to find meaningful relationships with our none-human loved ones, especially canines. As we all know, dogs vary in character and personality traits and we know that they make great partners.
We demand that e-harmony researches the psyche of dogs to create an algorithm to match humans with their canine counterparts so that they be united in love, at least until we can have the high courts recognize our right to form civil unions or marry.
The slippery slope

Comment: Since when is it Christian to discriminate and to be so hateful?
Comment: Since when is it hateful and/or un-Christian to run a business that actually adheres to moral values clearly delineated in the Bible, both Old and New Testaments? Does having moral standards you personally dislike equal "discrimination"?
Comment: Bowser, just to prove that your argument is as empty as your head - what about women that want to play in the NFL? They might have the skill and the youth. You moronic left wingers are all for free speech until somebody says something that you don't like. You are for rights but only for things that you agree with. What a bunch of hypocrites!
Comment: It is great to finally see companies stand for what they believe in and not conform to pressures from outside groups. Not everyone wants to put up with everything going on in this world today. Some people still believe in their values and want to pursue it in a matter in which they feel comfortable. There are plenty of other sites out there for everyone and commend eharmony for standing by what they do.
Comment: Hey bowser, you're a real dog. This is still a free country. Operators of CITY buses shouldn't be allowed to discriminate. PRIVATE businesses should be allowed to serve or not serve anybody they please, including smokers. If I walk in a restaurant and smell smoke, I have the RIGHT to go elsewhere, just as they should have the RIGHT to serve smokers. You're only for rights that suit you.
Comment: amazing
i had thought that in this great land-after the civil rights fight we had progressed to where people realized you cannot discriminate. Just mind blowing that there are this many bigoted people out there-yes that is what it is-why not go back to white only stores and busses etc
don't tell me it's not the same because it is-you have a private business purposefully excluding a segment of society-that is bigotry. And don't try to equate it to not being able to play in the nfl-they are apples and oranges. One takes skill and youth while the other just takes a willingness.
really take a deep breath

don't tell me it's not the same because it is-you have a private business purposefully excluding a segment of society-that is bigotry. And don't try to equate it to not being able to play in the nfl-they are apples and oranges. One takes skill and youth while the other just takes a willingness.
really take a deep breath

Comment: This is in response to people like Dr.Cerebro (LOL!!) who equate homosexual relationships with bestiality. I???m going to explain to you why this argument is idiotic.
The basis of any healthy and sane human relationship is CONSENT. This forms the legal basis for which our society differentiates, for example, a sexual act between two willing participants and rape. Just in case you don???t know what rape is, rape is a sexual act done against the will of one participant or when one participant is unable to give consent (because of mental or physical impairment).
So in order for any union to be legally recognized, there must be two participants who are psychologically and physically capable of voicing their consent. Therefore, our society cannot legalize marriages between adults and children (hear that, FLDS!) or adults and animals BECAUSE CHILDREN AND ANIMALS CANNOT GIVE CONSENT AS REQUIRED BY THE LAW.
What angers gays so much is that as CONSENTING adult human beings who happen to be HOMOSEXUAL, their relationships are not treated as legally equal to those of CONSENTING adult human beings who happen to be HETEROSEXUAL.
And ClintonsSuck, as a heterosexual woman, yeah I totally agree with you. Male genitalia are about the GROSSEST things on God???s green earth. But trust me, after a time, you do acquire a taste for it. Give it a chance!
Comment: I'm a gay man and not bothered in the least by eharmony not matching gays & lesbians. it's a business like any other and they choose to market to a certain audience, just like every other business. The gay magazines don't include straight clubs/bars, why is that ok, but eharmony wrong? There are plenty of gay matching sites out there, just like there are black dating sites, latino dating sites, and weathy dating sites. People need not be so sensitive and always trying to be a victim. and to all the stupid posts on here, i don't care about those either. i couldn't give a "rat's behind" if you approve of my lifestyle or not. i don't remember asking for approval. just don't think you are going to get in my way to live it as i see fit.

Comment: After reading many of these postings, I am amazed at people. Gays and lesbians get over your selves already!!!! If you don???t feel that this website can best serve you then move on. It is a matter of personal priority.
If your first priority is to find a same sex connection, then find a website that offers that. There are websites that only want you if you are over 40, or overweight, or a certain height, like a certain fetish and so on. And since I am not 40 yet and consider myself thin, then I will not be making use of those websites???.but it doesn???t mean that I am going to sue them for discriminating against me. No, it means that I will find something that suits me and my needs.
Kinda a similar situation, I travel a lot but I can???t make use of AARP or a military discount, but I get it and find other programs that work for me. I don???t let it bog me down.
Really people, why make issues where there really don???t need to be any.
And if the founder of this website is a Christian, then great for him and I applaud him for his strength to stand up for his beliefs.

Comment: i bet you were giggling when you wrote that, now get off your mom's computer before she finds you. btw, i think the clintons suck too.
Comment: They're associated with Dr. Dobson?? Isn't he that evil man who believes in family values?? And now that you mention it, the NFL won't let me play quarterback either - they're discriminating against 40 year old stay-at-home moms!! Sue them!
Comment: as a gay man i have no problem with eharmony not including gays & lesbians. It's a business and caters to the clients it wants to. Target isn't forced to sell cars. i don't like the idea of dating services, but there are plenty of gay services out there. There are lots of gay magazines that don't advertise straight clubs, it's just business. there is no law barring gay dating services, so there should be no problem. there are also black dating services, latino dating services, weathy dating services, etc.

Comment: Blue State values? You mean city values that vote liberal. I used Eharmony. I'm not Christian. I dated a Scientogolist from there for a while and am presently dating a wonderful lady who also isn't Christian.
Match.com - which owns and runs Chemistry - was always more of a scam site. Some girls were just porn sites, others were married (Same as alot of guys). I had friends (girls) use that site and got so many weirdos from there that they had to stop because of fear (One guy send a picture of him washing his truck..naked).
As for the gay and lesbians - why is it discrimation again? It's a private company that matchs up who they want. No-one is forcing you to use their service. It doesn't take married people either so its't that discrimation?
Comment: Hey bowser, first, when I tried to post my comment it said "unable to post your comment, try again later" so I kept hitting "Post". Second, most decent people are anti-gay. Get your head out of the sand (or wherever it is). You don't have the right to be served by a private business. If a business discriminates against me I go to their competitor. THAT is my right. Take your entitlement attitude and stick it where your head is!!!
Comment: define decent
see as a christian i see Jesus saying there are only two rule
1. love god with all you are
2. love you neighbor as youself
huh-not much about judgement in there
yes itis true anyone can go to another business but should they have to?
if there is one really great butcher in your neighborhood but he won't sell to you becuase youare (let's say) german-should you have to go to the lesser butcher?-no the law says you have to open your doors to everyone.
Comment: Actually Bowser...You are not correct in your comment that there are two rules....yes...Christ does say to Love God with all your heart & love your neighbor as yourself but he also says that you must repent (turn away) from your sins....there is a great deal of judgemenet in the Bible....but it isn't about us as fallen humans to make our own judgements but to follow the judgements of the Bible....homosexuality is a sin just as adultery is with a heterosexual couple that is married or pre-marital sex....God love everyone of us the same.....but he will only save people who profess Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior & repent of their sins. Don't allow the world view & the idea that anything you want to do is ok as long as it isn't hurting someone else guide you to an eternal life in Hell. Find a Bible believing church that preaches the gospel and learn the truth for yourself.
May God Bless You.
