What exactly is your problem?

I ask myself why you felt you needed to muscle-in on a civil message clearly not aimed at you? .... May I take it that whenever you see people described as 'small minded' -- you automatically get on the defensive for personal reasons?

That is very telling, my friend... and if you see yourself as being 'small-minded' - it's never too late to change...

typical liberal anger and faux outrage. defensive much? you believe that you are enlightened, and progressive, and those who aren't just like you are living in the dark ages and small minded. get off the high horse and join reality.

I'll ignore the rest of this nutjobby post and focus on this. First of all, you do not know what "God's Word" says about anything because you and "God" have never spoken. The Bible is a work of fiction written by men, akin to Aesop's Fables and the works of Homer. And even if you somehow believe in your magical fairy tale as reality, didn't "God" create man in his image? If those desires are somewhere in someone's mind, weren't they put there by "God"?

Finally, you said that not one nation has ever stood with prevalent homosexuality...can you name one that has stood without it? NO nation has stood the test of time, so maybe fully accepted homosexuality might be the only way for it to happen. Maybe the reason why most nations have fallen is because of intolerance and bigotry like yours. Maybe it's because people cling to religious views that went obsolete centuries ago. I take it you believe that the world is less than 7000 years old and Noah's Ark was a literal story where millions of animals were able to coexist, eat, and defecate on a wooden ship for 40 days, right?

REPLY:

Straight answers per your request --- Regards.

6. It is biologically perverted because 2 men making love with feces present and 2 women sticking foriegn objects up each others vagina carries with it a big risk of infection and disease.
#6 is one of my favorites.

For someone who is not gay, you sure do seem to know a lot about what goes on behind closed doors. I am not at all certain if this is observation, conjecture, experience, hearsay, or the results of a great deal of studying things that disgust you.

Can you enlighten us as to the source for your information?

Thanks in advance, cue

..you know....THAT group...

AS I said, we don't usually call ourselves by any name, nor do we hold meetings. Perhaps because it would be too cumbersome to send out invitations. But anyway, that's my group. What's yours, if you don't mind my asking?

I think with the homophobes, it's largely a thing of denial. They're too cowardly to come out and be proud of being gay, so they make up this fake conservative personality to hide it.

With racists it's just bad upbringing and people with nothing better to do. It's also fear and ignorance of the unknown.

Exactly ... But they will never admit their hypocrisy.
