Midway in the interview, I got upset at how Piers was just jumping in and cutting him off, calliing Pastor Osteen a judge. I like how Osteen kept referring back to the scripture, as to say, its not him (Osteen) its the SCRIPTURE that says, homosexuality a sin.

I am offended and get depressed by people advocating for more government, more taxes, more laws... as far as I know you are such a person. When are you going to stop offending me and become a part of the solution and not the problem?

I love watching Joel Osteen on Sunday mornings, he is an excellent pastor. If gay teens cannot take an honest opinion then they need to grow some skin, seriously.
Good for you for telling it like it is!

It seems that the term "bullying" has been redefined to mean speaking the truth. I suppose Osteen is a bully now.

No - bullying is making people feel inferior because of who they are. When it's a bigotry institutionalized in government and society, and people are killing themselves because of it, it's not "good".

Either you're pro-life or you're not. You can't support a society's oppression of homosexuals and then wash your hands of the results when children are hanging themselves.

So, end your hypocrisy. If you're going to say it's "truth" because of one line in the Bible, then please state for the reord that you embrace and endorse slavery, which has many more lines of support in the Bible and was used by social conservatives to justify its existence in the 19th century.

Are you pro-life or pro-choice?

A real "sensitive" person that genuinely cares about the people in their community would do something to help them.

It seems to me that you have a very close relationship to the gay community. But all you do is start threads about how gays are being treated unfairly.

Stop complaining and do something!

If bullying were "making someone feel inferior for who they are," then why isn't everyone trying to kill themselves? We've all heard criticism. I would have been dead a long time ago. Stop whining.

I didn't watch the interview and won't I think morgan is a clown but kudos to Osteen for telling it like it is. It is a sin and an abomination unto GOD.

Anyone doesn't like it, then take it up with GOD, but let us know how it works out for ya.
