The Power Of Prayer

Maybe we could have both preachers stick their tongues up each others anus, so we can all be brothers. I mean gay people are just everyone else right?

Billy Graham has prayed for and with presidents many times over the years, as have others. He has written on these matters. Mr Graham instructed us to learn the way amd means of the gospel. This understanding is faith based an is the clear truth for the whole human race. In the end our mistakes will be explained to us. Then we will all know what faith based truely means.

The gay outrage is fully justified. There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus of Nazareth would have some choice words for Rick Warren if he were here. There are much wiser, much more holy men that Obama could have picked. But remember the stakes Obama is playing for -- actual meaningful change -- and the sad realities of our world today. For him to do measurable good, he will need the support of the conservatives. That is going to mean picking some battles -- and some concessions right up front. LGBT folks, I'm sure Obama has your best long-term interests in mind. Look past this to future things it might help enable. First we have to get everybody back to the table. We've had eight years of moronic, unproductive hard-headed behavior, and people have just stopped hearing each other.

I think this whole discussion is good but also pointless. If we can have Warren (against gay lifestyle) at the beginning and Joseph Lowery (in favor of gay lifestyle) at end, then what is the problem? Looks like a step towards unity and inclusiveness to me. Don't you think?

Anyone who thinks a person chooses to be gay is someone who has not lived with the discrimination against gays and lesbians. Why would anyone choose to be discriminated against, to hide their love life from their loved ones, to not be protected under the law when you raise a child with your partner, to not be able to leave your partner a safety net when you pass away because she/he cannot collect your social security, like heterosexual tax payers. People kill themselves everyday because they cannot accept who they are, because they are told by ignorant people that they are sinners. Ignorant people who cannot see past their own vanilla existence, need to finally relize that we come in all different shapes, sizes, colors and sexual orientations. Chances are every human being knows someone who is homosexual. They just haven't been told. So, to all you fellow gays and lesbians, come out! Let the world know that there are many more of us than the world is aware of. We are doctors, professors, teachers, politicians, athletes, actors, and everything else under the sun. And, contrary to the ignorant belief that who we are is a sin, we were made this way, and we just want to be protected under the same laws that all the other taxpayers are protected under.

Are you people aware of the fact that there was a world of brilliant scholars before Christianity was invented and there is a religious world outside of Christianity today if religion is the issue. But also are you aware that some of the greatest figures in history were gay: Plato, Socrates, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci for instance? Do you like Michelangelo's Sistine ceiling painting of the creation of Adam for instance???????? Warren doesn't allow gays into his church and what is so offensive to gays is his comparison of gays to sex offenders and pedofiles. I am not gay nor black nor a male. But I know from so many of my friends that people do not choose to be gay. This condition chooses them!!!!!

Obama picked Warren because of his moral leadership in the world: The subjugation of females and the termination of their reproductive rights andObama and Warrens shared views that homosexuals be denied the Right of "Civil Marriage". Obama wants it both ways. To say that he is "pro gay and lesbian rights", while being aginst gay marriage. Obama is a fraud.

Too bad!! ha ha

However, Lennon would have been surprised that there was a Heaven since he imagined there was none in that song. if I remember rightly.

I sympathize with the Gay community over equal rights issues like marriage. However, they can solve the legal problems such as common property and hospital visitation and medical decisions with civil remedies. When my long time girlfriend had cancer, we solved those issues with surrogate status and a will- there was another impediment to our legal marriage. Regarding Rick Warren, Obama is a Christian, and he needed to reach out to the Christian community to reward them for their support, and assuage others for the fear that the McCain campaign stirred with the phoney Muslim issue. So, lets give Barry a break, here. While I agree Gay Rights is a civil rights issue, I am sure that its time will come eventually. I'm not suggesting they should wait 250 years- but this is a relatively new issue for older voters. I'm sure that with the passing of the older generation of voters, all will be made right. Younger people don't have the fear of Gays the last generation has. Patience, folks, patience. In the mean time,

From what I hear, is that people don't really have a choice in there life everything is predispose by Genetics! Ok that explains everything! Oh boy.
