Excuse me? Who exactly to you THINK you are to be spewing such ridiculous ignorance?

This line of thought tells me you have been absolutely brainwashed.

Again, educate yourself.

At any rate, get over yourself and realize a huge number of people reject the notion that being gay or bisexual is a sin. Thankfully, more and more people reject associations with churches that teach the bigoted view that being gay is a sin, especially young Americans who are very supportive of gay equality. Fundamentalism is such an anti-intellectual and oppressive mindset.

This line of primative thinking we are witnessing just proves that those hideous political ads we had to endure DO have a target market that sucks this crap up.

Very, very scary.

No, I'm not brainwashed. Come down; it's not that serious. If homosexuality wasn't so wrong, why would preachers talk against it? It's not a gift. God said in the Bible that a man shall not lie with another man. Men shall only lie with women. If we go against God's word, we what? SIN. If this wasn't so, why would it be God's words? I'm not going to sit here and get bashed by people based on what I believe and what I read. Maybe if people pick up their Bibles and stop making their own stuff, maybe, the world can be a better place. Diseases, mental problems, and disformities (s/p) are the ONLY mishaps people are born with. We need to refrain from getting scientific information. Remember, this information about people being born gay comes from scientists that said that the world was going to end in 2000. It's good that we have our own opinions about issues, but if we have opinions, we should be able to back it up with facts. We unfortunately judge people when thay are what? IN THE WRONG or DOING WRONG. Doing wrong is sinning. Sinning is an action that we as people engage in because we are born into it and not with it. If people are born gay, why aren't people born with a drug problem or with evil ways. We become what we are or do what we do based on what we see and hear. Come on now.

I'm always amazed at why someone like this feels like he is an expert on the subject. When you know absolutely nothing about it, that's a good opportunity to keep your mouth shut. If you're gay, it gives you some kind of insight, but if you aren't then you have no idea what you're talking about. Are you gay? If not, then don't try to act like you know something!

City-data members' homophobic views were not solicited in this thread. The topic is the allegations against Eddie Long...so let's not continue down this path. There are threads in other sections on this site where you can rant about "choices" all you want.

The same way you "become" straight? I hear the process is very similar.

At $2/head, that's $50k a weekend. I'm getting ideas here..No, just kidding .

Correction on your math.....

These churches push their members to "tithe" 10% of their income plus give to the various multiple offerings (passing of the collection plate) each and every Sunday.

Man Deacon kill that noise! They brought it up first. Being gay is a sin, BUT so is smoking weed, eating pork & shrimp, prostitution & etc. Some the things I just mentioned I do and I KNOW its wrong but I do it anyway. We all do what we want to do regardless of what religious books say. We do what we want to do. Sin or no sin. Men that have sex with men do it BECAUSE THEY WANT TO.
