    How can God fearing and loving people be so lacking in compassion? I am sure that God doesn't think any more of your choice to ignore and judge people of your community than he may feel towards their sexual identity. If gays are going to hell they will unfortunatually have to share that place with all of you as they have here on earth. Lead by example and love as you wish to be loved. I am sure that sex is not God's biggest concern, there seems to be many other things to worry about than if Bob loves Johnn or Mary loves Sarah.

      I think the problem with people like myself that have normal relationships and kids worry when John and Bob come to the PTA meeting and pretend they are normal parents. Then when John and Mary have to explain why John and Bob are together to their kids.

        I agree chato! If there are none willing to stand for truth (Scripture) then man in his evil heart will go to any extreme.

          I personally think that you can't believe in the Bible and Global Warming because again it's Science vs. Religion. So, if Global Warming is a fact...do you think that dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago? Because if you believe that, then you really should re-assess your ability to speak publicly and intelliegently.

            global warming comes and goes, it's proven scientifically. as for dinosaurs, there Biblical and we are talking 6,000 - 10,000, not 4,000. go to "answers in genesis" website if you have courage?

            • Posted By: TurkReno @ 09/20/2008 7:09:32 PM

              So any rough estimate of when dinosaurs were here is incorrect? Or are you just trying to adapt to modern science to make your point sound more valid. Most, if not all, religious figureheads that I've ever spoken too believe right at around 4,000 years ago since it would fit in with their agenda for the Anti-Christ.

        But Bob and John are normal parents they love their children enough to be envolved in the PTA, which many straight parents don't make time for. You should be so lucky to have a chance to teach JR tolorance.

      They are many examples in the Bible where God acts out against those who go against His will. Please do not think that just because you are a Christian you have to always act out of compasion. The truth of the matter is that many people are becoming less tolerant against immorality.

      • Posted By: samigurl @ 09/20/2008 6:49:19 PM

        Ahhhh, isn't it so nice that you are one of the chosen to condemn? You must feel special or you don't have a family or a life to tend to.

  • Posted By: Deeleesa @ 09/20/2008 7:08:43 PM

    I wonder if the dinosaurs that were here 4000 years were gay?

    ummm, what is normal about Bob and John other than the fact that they're both irrevocably warped and like to stick their penises into ***? And many "Straight Parents" don't have time to make PTA meetings? Where do you get your info from? I should have known better than to get "Straight Talk" from mentally ill people.

    I dont care about your plight

    gays and lesbians should be not respected.

    In 1930's Great Depression, my grandmother was asked by her son, "Mama, is there really a Hell." She replied, "Yes there is honey. I'm living in it." I can understand Granny's feelings. How can I go to Hell when I am already there? The Church used to recommend beatings for lefthanded persons. The mentally ill were silently disposed of. God did not do that, it was people. Cruel and ignorant people.

    Dear Tonycbrook - THANK goodness, I finally have found someone who knows what God thinks and wants. This MUST be a miracle - for so long no one has really been such an enigma, but clearly he has chosen you as the mere mortal for whom he would bestow his deepest wishes and thoughts. Well, since you are such good buds and clearly he speaks directly to you, could you please pass along a message for me? it would be so great if he could help out with all the babies being murdered and burned to death in Africa...maybe if he gets a spare second he could do something about the hundreds of violent rapes and murders everyday and talk to those guys in Saudi Arabia who throw women in ditches and bury them alive when they talk to a man who isn't a relative. I guess he may have been too busy helping britney spears win a MTV video award when all that pesky murdering was going on.

      It certainly helps when people like Sean Combs, thank "God" as their first shout-out after winning a Grammy. I think the best quote to address this is that "Even the Sparrows are fed". Well, life does evolve - which is another touchy subject...

    Just because Christians speak out against "homosexuality" does not mean we are judging. You are perfectly correct in your assessment that God loves and forgives, but he is grieved by the "act" of homosexuality. That's all Christians are asserting and therefore are in support of not allowing the the "by-product" of homosexuality (same sex marriage) to manifest to become a "marriage".

    Okay, what is it about the word 'gay' that brings out al lthe bible-toting, religious right-wing posters with their lack of education, compassion, tact, deductive reasoning and general understanding of how society works?

    America is the only civilized country that doesn't allow gay property rights among couples. I've seen too many guys fight hostile families of deceased lovers to get just their own belongings back, let alone joint property.

    The only good homophobe is a dead one.

    How sad that you so called christians practice the jewish faith of persecution and death rather than the true religion of christ. I'm glad I don't believe in your god as you do. You will surely go to hell for your judgment and damnation of others as that is your gods sole domain. And from what I've read he's not really into sharing all that well. Hence the reason he sent the only being to ever claim equality to a fiery pit of pain and torture for eternity. And when the bringer of light enlightened the world to the truth of it's own existence they were cast out of the garden just for posessing that knowledge. Sounds like a god I'd want to hgive power over me.

    No gay man wants to really be gay. Try trading places. Could you just go and be gay...if your actually not? Same deal for men or women who are attracted to the same .....it's a mental and physical challenge and even torturous at times. You feel lonely, hated and what's good about that as a human being? I dare...ALL straight folks to give up sex. OK? That's what you want gay people to do right? Just because you feel it's wrong...lol

  • Posted By: samigurl @ 09/20/2008 6:47:24 PM

    getthepoint, really, the gay race?????? Wow, you are smart. I believe that lesbians are low on the risky health issues, but then you think that being gay is a race.

  • Posted By: dunes cowboy @ 09/20/2008 6:45:29 PM

    what is it about the word 'gay' that brings out all the bible-toting, religious right-wing undereducated toothless morons anyway?

  • Posted By: TurkReno @ 09/20/2008 6:44:48 PM

    Right, and there's supposed to be some sort of "Youth Formula" to fix their age? Otherwise they have to live in a repressed society because they're being true to themselves? You cannot confuse religion with science, and vice versa. Religion is not a shield to hide behind when you don't understand how someone feels and the obstacles that they face in life. This is simply deferring the problem back on to the person and not solving anything. There will be a day where the US Government recognizes Gay and Lesbian Unions as law, so be prepared.

    Health care is a privilege, not a right. I'm sure if you went to your health care provider, and told them your situation, they would give you an appropriate answer according to your policy. If you dont like the answer, go to a different provider, but try to negotiate the terms you desire. Dont make it the rest of the worlds problem. Truth is, the gay race is more risky for the insurance companies, so i would expect them to charge you more.

  • Posted By: Sure @ 09/20/2008 6:37:18 PM

    easy mlpmlp, sounds like a lot of anger. doesn't God hate anger as well?

  • Posted By: samigurl @ 09/20/2008 6:32:46 PM

    How can people ignore other members of our community just because they love and live differently than you do. I am sure that God finds your lack of compassion just as ugly as you think he may feel towards their sexual identity.

  • Posted By: luckywifenmom @ 09/20/2008 6:18:09 PM

    Just because we are different than most of the population does not mean that we are bad people or do not deserve the same rights as other couples. Leave the bible out of it. Every person can read and interpret the bible to say exactly what they want it to say. The fact is we as American citizens, should be allowed to grow old with our partners with the same respect that everyone else gets.

    • Posted By: Babybassgirl @ 09/20/2008 6:32:20 PM

      The Bible isn't written in riddles. You don't have to interpret it or try to figure out what it says or what He means. It says plainly "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, facts and envy; drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God". Sound pretty simple to me.

    • Posted By: getthepoint @ 09/20/2008 6:26:25 PM

      I never said you were bad people, just mistaken

  • Posted By: mlpmlp @ 09/20/2008 6:31:44 PM

    Hate and judgement will send you to he&ll and I hope your god grants you a look at all the ho&mos in heaven as St Peter sends you to the place you need and deserve. Judge others at your own peril.

  • Posted By: mlpmlp @ 09/20/2008 6:29:33 PM

    Dear Sure I hope and pray that "your" "god" gives you just what you want need and deserve. And, may he grant you a vision of Bob in heaven before damning you to eternal hell. A little judgemental aren't you and now you have set your own fate.
