Subject: Maybe a man should be allowed to have 2 or 3 wives while we're at it. Some cultures do that. I'm so sick of this political correctness b.s.

Subject: Oh good lord, Julia. Get over yourself. Stop comparing apples to oranges. When no one has a good reason why gays can't marry, they always resort to your line of reasoning --- ''Next thing you know, men will marry children, or dogs, or dead people.'' Whatever. Find a little compassion. I hope you don't ever have children who are gay. I would hate for your own children to know they have an ignorant and hateful mommy. eom. JR.

Subject: It is completely wrong!! There's nothing natural about it. It's one of the many works of the devil. Satan wants to reverse anything God has ever done. There is no morals to society anymore, no values.

Subject: Maybe if you had religion you would understand the wrongness of it. It says 3 different times in the Bible against homosexuality. Our country could benefit from religion. This is all about right vs. wrong. I'm sick of this gay stuff being crammed down my throat. I'm worse than Hittler if I'm against it?? I'm sick of it.

Subject: LOL Sheebee! Julia, I don't care what you claim the bible says. You can find an argument for just about anything in the bible if you really want to. It always comes down to subjective interpretation. Instead, I care about actual people. And so should you, if you're such a Christian, instead of demonizing them and calling them freaks. Is your Jesus really a hater? Cuz that's just the opposite of what his message was. You don't sound like you understand the most basic concepts of your own religion. ~i&b

Subject: Nothing can be cited (note the silence) because Jesus said nothing about homosexuality. He did say: it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles... what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles, for out of the heart comes evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander; these are what defile a person. The only purity that mattered to Jesus was purity of heart. There is nothing that says homosexuality is in itself wrong, that it is harmful, unkind, destructive, unloving, dishonest, unjust, etc. Immoral behavior is condemned NOT homosexual behavior. Heteroes can be immoral and they haven't been the poster children for marriage so let the gays lead the way. (off my soap box).eom/WE

Subject: Ah Leviticus as interpreted from the NET BIble. I could have made book this was coming. This is a prohibition from a time when people didn't mix two crops or make cloths of two different raw materials or plow a field with an ox and donkey yoked together - many things must remain separate. That includes the woman's bed. Only her husband was permitted there, and then only under certain circumstances. Any other use of her bed would be a defilement. The actual words (not from the NET) were mankind and womankind and speaks to promiscuity not homosexuality. If we go by your passage it's only men and Lesbians - woo hoo?? Given the years since Jesus walked the earth many have interpreted and reinterpreted and have added words that did not exist then. Homosexual, the word, did not exist until the 19th century but you'll find it in newer versions of Bibles alleged to be written eons before the 19th century. The words in the King James Bible state Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination. They refer to what I've described here not homosexuality.eom/WE

Subject: So Julia, Rita and ......, newbies to the sight? Of course not. You didn't just happen upon this board and see a hot button topic. Noooo. Hide behind made up names and symbols. Do you think Jesus would not look down on cowardice? I suppose you've all been lurking for years and consider yourselves regulars right? The big question is why do you care what anyone on this board or in this topic thinks? You won't change their minds (rightly so) and they won't change yours AND there are people here much more Bible savvy than you. We get it - you hate homosexuality and want to believe that Jesus hates gays. Simple, Jesus hated no one so you can't hide behind that. I respect your feelings on the subject although I, too, disagree but don't get why you're spitting in the wind when most on this board are tolerant of gays and are celebrating this milestone. Don't agree? That's your right. You have every right to feel the way you do and the others have every right to feel as they do. That makes discussion even when the argument leans more towards one side than the other. I call it a Pisa discussion.eom/Joe

Amen.For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
