When you are speaking of "gays", you neglect to mention that gay women rank the lowest.


I assumed people were smart enough to figure that one out. Lesbians are less likely to play in foul bodily waste.

Bottom line: Stop quoting The Bible because that is just dumb.

The other issue is that gays should reduce anal sex considering AIDS is spread that way. Reduce or stop having sex. Focus more on your relationships.

If AIDS is God's wrath on the homosexuals was Polio also his wrath on the children?

Apparently, according to many of these religious nuts, Gawd plans his weather systems around who is having sex with who. Interesting stuff!

I like fiscal conservatives, but its social conservatives like this that dominate the GOP and lead me to despise them.

I am a registered Republican. When was the election held to vote in Engle as "new prayer guru?"

The only people who are possessed by demons are the people who hear "gods" voice telling them to go to Iraq and that it is "gods plan".

Paul said that when any person rejects God's truth, his mind becomes "reprobate," meaning perverted, void of sound judgment. The perverted mind, having rejected God's truth, is not capable of discerning good and evil.

Paul said, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, not thankful, unholy, without natural affection.


All parents should warn their children of the evils of homosexuality.

You have GOT to be kidding me! None of what you have quoted has a THING to do with homosexuality. The first part of your quote is from Romans, chapter 1. If you would read the entire chapter, you would understand that Paul was talking about idolatry - the worshiping of idols, the ways in which people did that and the results of that to their spirituality.

Again referring to idolaters and those who rejected God, which in many cases DOES NOT describe homosexuals.

And the final part, from 2 Timothy, describes people who care only about themselves. Where you get that being about homosexuality is beyond me.

What parents should really teach their children about is the dangers of misinterpretation of biblical passages, leading to misunderstanding of what the message of Christ Jesus was really about.

Why do Christians always feel the need to dictate their beliefs on the rest of society? How much easier would the world be if we didn't have these religious jerks running around trying to change everybody?

This Christian actually agrees with you. Christ Jesus instructs us to inform the world about His message - He never said we should force the non-believer to live by the rules of our beliefs.

Contradictions cannot exist. To arrive at a contradiction is to confess an error in one's thinking.

Paul said in Romans 27.. men left the natural use of a woman..burned in their lust for one another.

I think you mean Romans 1:27, but that is beside the point. Go back and read it again. In verse 26 Paul says "For this cause God gave them up....." So what cause was this? Going back several verses we find that they were worshiping idols! You are equating to punishment with what YOU think the sin was. The sin was idolatry; the punishment was debasement and debauchery.
