So right. A person could spend a lifetime in the Vatican Library finding scrolls that were withheld as heresy, but were once part of early Christian
sects; the Albigensian Crusade comes to mind. Yes, the Gnostic Gospels exist, but the new knowledge from the Dead Sea Scrolls is growing as translations are completed. The Book of Esther is common knowledge among Christians, yet it remains outside the "canon" purely through institutionalized misogyny. Pelagius is an interesting early Christian as well.
The Pauline Gospel is questionable, as he was born long after the cruxifiction and many of his tenets disagree with the Four Gospels of the Apostles. Like Thomas Jefferson, many Christians choose to ignore his letters to other sects.
TBS, nowhere in Matthew, Mark, Luke or John does Christ denigrate or ban homosexuality. God creates people in very different forms, and God does not make mistakes; perhaps learning to accept, tolerate and even love people who are different may be a way of testing how one's spirit is growing in that area. If you choose the scripture from the Old Testament above the teachings of Christ, you're failing to meet Christ's challenge. It's nobody's business who marries whom: Again, certain legal rights are denied to the GLB community, and that's against the Constitution.
Christ came here to teach us love and acceptance--compassion as a way of honoring God. Thanks for posting this. You said what I was thinking, but much more eloquently.
If straight women were as open to having sex as much as men wanted them to, then straight men would have sex as often as the gay single male. WOMEN are the gatekeepers of chastity. If there were sex clubs where horny women sat around willing to have sex with men, there would be hundreds of men lined up around the building every single day. If there were places where hot women sat in bathroom stalls, willing to perform oral sex on men through holes in the wall, the straight men's room would have as long a line as the women's bathroom, 24/7. We see glimpses of the possibility of straight promiscuity during events such as Mardi Gras, or college Spring Break.
Straight MEN used to be able to demand it, take it, rape it whenever they wanted (and they did) before women got enough power in society. They no longer can. Righteously indignant straight men can thank their women for keeping them honest.
But I digress.
If social conservatives actually gave a damn about what they consider to be "immoral promiscuity," then they would welcome gay marriage, because it would impose societal pressure on gay males to settle down and find a mate, much like their straight counterparts are often dragged kicking and screaming into domestic-land.
yeah they have places like that its called ***** houses and we dont need anymore places where guys are willing to stick thier privates in for oral sex who knows what kind of disease they have! -your sick! oh yeah blame the women how f$%#ing typical

You completely missed the point. The poster was making the case that if there's promiscuity in the gay male community, it has more to do with being male than gay. If heterosexual men were allowed to do whatever they want to women, they probably wouldn't be all that different, but most women would never go for it, so here we are. Since gay men have relationships with other men, the limits aren't set in the same way. It also explains why you don't see lots of promiscuous lesbians--I'm sure they're out there, just like there are promiscuous straight women, but most of the ones I know are in long term relationships. There was no blaming women in this post...

I really didn't see any 'blaming women' in that post. I read it as acknowledging that most men would be more promiscuous if it weren't so frowned on by society, along with the fact that, at one time in history, it really wasn't frowned on. At least not as far as the men are concerned. At one time males weren't considered 'men' until they had sex. But if the female ever had sex (including non-consensually) before her marriage bed, she was automatically considered to be a 's**t' whom no man would ever want.
Good grief, did you not have civics class or history in school?
This has nothing to do with sexual preference or the color of ones skin.
Its about basic civil rights, which should be denied to no one.
Whats fair for one group has to be fair for all.
I am talking about civil unions...I have posted about that ad nauseum, please go read the links, and educate yourself.
apparently you have not taken a history class. no one is being discriminated against because we all have the EXACT SAME RIGHTS. Can you name a right that I have that a gay man does not? I can't marry someone of the same gender either. Neither of us are guaranteed marriage for love.

Except that the law does not discriminate currently.
Didn't you know that anyone who fights for the rights of the glbt community just HAS to be "anti-heterosexual"? Even heterosexuals like me! lol!
That is exactly the way liberals label those who are pro-life. They label them anti-woman. I really don't see a difference as far as the labeling is concerned. Technically the homosexual political agenda and those supporting it are seeking special privleges for a specific group rather than actual "equal rights" where the exact same laws apply to everyone across the board regardless of gender and sexual orientation.
