OH, please, Evangelicals change spouses like underwear....I would rather myself and my children hang out with a flamboyant gay than a thumper. At least the flamboyant gay person is more honest and less hypocritical.

About what? Your interpretation of a book? The Bible was never meant to be used like a text book.

gay abs
ɡā abz
noun

Originally derived from the Seinfeld reference of "single thin and neat" which created the pop cultural stereotype that gay men take better care of their appearance than straight men. Both sartorially and with respect to physical fitness.

1. Abs that one can actually see. Apparent to the eye and not covered by a Sunday NFL nacho induced layer of lard.
That is excellent!

I watched Seinfield and missed this. Thank you and good day, sir!

That's BS and you know it. There's a lot of behaviors the Bible condemns and warns Christians to avoid, but some of those behaviors seem to matter to some people a lot more than others.

When fundies start calling to shut down seafood restaurants and stop patronizing grocery stores that carry shellfish because the Bible calls eating them an abomination, then I'll start believing they aren't using the Bible as a fig leaf to justify their own prejudice.

I feel pity for many of these people even though I vehemently disagree with their anti-gay stances. It must be difficult to hate who you are so much. All the more reason to accept homosexuality as a norm. It is normal, it is natural and its ok.

Oh, please don't pin the behaviors of a few evangelicals on everybody. You know better than that. That's like saying all Muslims are bad because of a few Islamic terrorists.

This reminds me of the Joe South lyrics in "Games People Play": (from memory) "They sing 'glory hallelujah' then they sock it to you, in the name of the Lord."

Terrible analogy. People don't like certain foods because they taste bad to the specific individual. That's a rational response to an unpleasant sensory cue. In contrast, there is no rational reason to hate someone for their sexual orientation.

I believe The Evangelical divorce rate is as high as any population, which means your divorce rate in your community is, nearly, 50%, it's not a "few". . BTW don't most Evangelicals hate Muslims? Why would you care if all Muslims are lumped as terrorists?
