Is that a "golf clap" for Dan Savage? I almost heard it.

Its not right.
So if your thread didn't have anything to do with the Bible or Christianity, what you were getting at when mentioned this in your OP?

BTW, if you think this is bad, you should see what is embedded in your children's innocent looking "literature" books in their public schools.
Christian persecution complex, by chance?

When you applaud a bully, it makes you a bully as well.

Yes, funny how this wasn't thrown into the mix earlier. It's a got-to for bigots.

(And it's NAMBLA, by the way. )

Does an adult man molesting a girl have something to do with your heterosexuality? It sure as heck doesn't have anything to do with mine. And an adult man molesting a boy has nothing to do with homosexuality either. Pedophilia is pedophilia.

In God's eyes - sin is sin there is no difference to HIM between murder- rape- lying - stealing - etc etc. BUT.. .. .. there is only ONE SIN in the entire bible that is called GREAT! - just one! (psalm 19).

That sin, is the sin of............"presumption"!!

It simply does much more damage than all the rest put together!

Your god is not acknowledged as god by everyone. Therefore, what he supposedly says means nothing. You can bite into your carpet with rage over that one.

My guess is, you are being deliberately obtuse, but I will spell it out once more. This thread is NOT a debate on whether one believes in the word of the Bible or the goodness and truth of Christianity or even what it means to be a Christian. Good debates. Different forum.

This thread is about an adult, who has been supported by our President, using the Anti-Bully Program to subject high school students to crude sexual humor and profanity, try and crudely teach them HIS version of the Bible and mock, ridicule and humiliate students he refers to as "Bible" kids; essentially bullying the students.

This is abominable behavior. I think the president, who has supported this vulgar man, needs to publicly apologize to the students Savage humiliated and formally disassociate him from any further association with this so called National Anti-Bullying Program.
