I agree with that as well. People of all backgrounds are hateful, people tend to forget that. But it seems to me in the past two years or so this anti-bullying movement seems to be all against bullying gays. Bully's have always been around since the beginning of time, not saying it is perfect. Many of us had to deal with bullying, I was bullied for being a foreigner, speaking with an accent and not wearing as expensive clothes as others.

I was bullied by people who's families were poorer than mine, gays, Christians, and even a few other foreigners. One thing it thought me was to judge all people as individuals and not as a group.

If Christians kept their beliefs about gays to within the confines of their churches, that would be a great thing. Jesus is the Way, and his Way is Love. If more Christians lived accordingly, the world would be a much better place.

Silencing hate speech in schools is a great thing. Sorry that you don't think so.



ideas helenjen dislikes = hate speech


You are a classic example of the intolerant liberal helenjen.


Young Christians read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They learn to do unto others as they would have others do unto them and forgive others who have wronged them.

First Corinthians and Ephesians come along later. Moreover, homosexuality is just one of many practices condemned by scripture. To say that young Christians are running around bullying homosexuals based on Biblical teachings but not similarly mistreating idolaters, drunkards, thieves, liars and fornicators is logically inconsistent.

Last I heard Christian school kids weren't beating up pot heads or making fun of shoplifters. Your accusations against Christan kids are far removed from reality.

Hate for the word of God is what it comes down to. Not the Christian. This man quoted the verses about homosexuality in the bible as the enemy. Nothing new under the sun. Either one accepts what God says or they don't. It is not about hateful Christians, It is about God's word to his people.

That's funny because I can't remember any church-going kids bullying anyone.

I do remember Christian kids being bullied for being Christian.

Do you ever save a lost soul though the word of God and lead them into the righteousness of God? That is the true love of God.
