I'm going to make this very plain to you and not mince my words.

I disassociate myself with homosexuals.

I have nothing in common with a homosexual.

I put them on the same social level with deviant pedophiles and rapists.

I regard homosexuals as mentally flawed individuals and I pity them.

Why on earth would I want my marriage to be considered equal to that of a homosexual?

How do you know what "most homosexuals in California" are like?

Again, proud to be a bigot. There is something wrong with you if you aren't a bigot.
My church would beg to differ

I pity your ignorance. Please don't pity me - just stay away!

As usual you are quick to label people that have justified, rational, morally-correct beliefs.

Sexuality between a man and a woman is natural because its intention is to produce offspring. This is why God intended for humans to be fruitful and multiply so that the Earth can be replenished and the human race can continue from generation to generation.

Homosexuality is unnatural, immoral, an illness, and a sin. Most people agree with this but most of us also realize that homosexuals are human beings and no animosity or violence should be directed toward them. We believe homosexuals can convert to a heterosexual lifestyle, just as other people with abnormal desires can change.

This is not being a bigot. Bigotry would only be applied to somebody who advocates violence or the overthorow of a certain group based on differences. I certainly do not condone any kind of violence against homosexuals, and I'm sure this can be applied to almost everyone else.

But you and the rest of the libs obviously have your minds fixed on name-calling and labeling people bigots, racists, homophobes, intolerant, prejudiced, and the like simply because our viewpoints are different than yours.

I cannot for the LIFE of me, begin to wrap my mind around the concept of associating anything natural or pleasurable between two men having sex. It totally escapes me how two women could have a sexual attraction for each other. For this reason alone I cannot conceive of this being normal, or natural or even sane.

And as sure as I am that there are people on this board who enjoy it - It repulses me.

I want to formally declare the word bigot to be positive. Such a word, when applied to right wingers especially, is an acclamation of intelligence. So bigots unite! I am a bigot and I am proud to be a bigot, because being a bigot is a good, positive thing. Not a bad or negative thing.
You are a bigot because you trying to push your interpretation of religious doctrine on to the whole nation. Marriage in the US has always been a secular institution... you don't have to go to a church, mosque or temple to get married. The atheist mayor your town can marry you. If your church disagrees with gay marriage, then your church should not perform gay marriage... when you fight for that interpretation to be secular law, then you are a bigot... particularly when your only reasoning is based on your interpretation of the bible and not on any universal rationale. Bigot.

Yikes, the post you are responding to is saying that Aaron isn't a bigot. You did see that he was qualifying the definition of bigot, didn't you?

I can't for the LIFE of me understand how obese people can find sex pleasurable. It's disgusting and should be outlawed for anyone who I don't personally find attractive to ever have sex
