And being left-handed.

And wearing make-up.

And cutting our hair.

And having cosmetic surgery.

And curing diseases.

And using birth control.

Etc.

There will come a day when you will discover that the Bible is not a "2000-year-old book of fairy tales." Those who buy into evolution crap is the ones who are following junk science but that is a topic for another forum.

Do you want the version where it is taken completely out of context like most Conservative Christian interpretations, or IN context like more Liberal interpretations. As a woman, I think you'd prefer the second choice.

Some conservative Christians who believe the Bible is inerrant HAVE to be close-minded. It's a defense mechanism which allows them to ignore their own internal conflict and to maintain their self-image in the face of all the contradictory, sometimes downright silly rules in the conservative interpretations of their Bible.

Especially when St Peter offers them a cafe latte while dressed in flourescent pink and says "daaaarhling you got it all wrong. The big Momma here made your brothers and sisters homosexual to help broaden your minds. You just refused to listen didn't you? Oh well, it's BBQ for you.

Who are you to say what is going against nature and what is not?

Who are you to say what is right and what is not.

Your posts are horrible and show complete ignorance and hatred from people who are different than you.

Please don't tell me you are one of these extreme right wing Christians who think their morals and ideas are the only right way.

Grow up and deal with it. You are not a child anymore. Not everyone is like you, not everyone is going to give you what you want and not everyone is going to agree with you.

Now having said that, msconnie, you seem to have this attitude towards gays that they are somewhat less than human or very wrong. Let me tell you something. They are just as human as you are. You are lucky that you dont have to live in this kind of hatred that the gays have to go through. What do YOU think gives YOU the right to determine what is right and wrong?

Why are you so rude, simply put? You seem to be very insecure if you want to bash people this badly? So what if gays can get married? How will it affect it your life?

It is quite simple. Didn't Jesus say to love and respect? Even if you are not Christian, remember the GOLDEN rule! Treat others how you want to be treated and it seems like you are asking for disrespect.
