You demonstrate zero self awareness here. That, or you wanted to do a hit and run post where you take a shot at homosexuality and get away with it by telling anyone who responds that he or she is off topic.

Either way, I'd say you owe the OP and Chicago apologies.
All I said was that it was a sad commentary on morality in this country. He took it from there and is trying to push his agenda.

And are we supposed to think that your first sentence above doesn't represent your agenda? Can you never be honest?

You started this and it is up to you to stop it, and to do so by apologizing.

Why would I apologize? People are acting as if the greatest travesty is that this kid wasn't told he was good and normal for desiring sexual intimacy with other boys. I find that sad. The fact is, it is a sad day in America when our school system encourages homosexuality.

I find it much more sad that people with your antiquated, erroneous prejudices are given a pulpit to encourage others to share their wrongheadedness.

So when did you, your wife and your kids decide to be hetero? Did you have to wrestle with the decision - weigh all the pros and cons?

So something is wrong because it's old? Is that it?

What makes my view erroneous? I find it sad that people with your erroneous prejudices are able to encourage others to share their wrongheadedness...but that's the direction our society is going.

We were born hetero. It's how God made us.

Maybe the school should just ban all bibles, then those deviant homosexuals won't be carrying one around.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, if he weren't being told he was going to burn in hell he might not have even had his bible at school?

For highjacking the thread and for lying about it by trying to pretend that the poster who responded to your highjacking is at fault.

Let's see: the school told him he can't take his Bible to school and suspended him. And you've decided that means the school system encourages homosexuality? I had NO idea denying a student his right to carry his Bible was in ANY way linked to homosexuality. None. El zippo. (Do the gays know? Dang, lol, does TEXAS know? This will probably come as a HUGE shock to the Lone Star State. Mercy, George Bush might need to be revived upon hearing this news.)

Is there a "Fundamentalist Thought Pattern" manual available? Something we can all reference that explains how y'all start at "A" and wander off into the woods?
