Gay Union
I'm bored, my wife isn't up yet, and I'm still amped from three straight days of candy and cookies and pies and cakes and... all that stuff. lol.

0 It's open to interpretation, of course, but quite a few people think the Bible does have its own Adam and Steve.
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 2 Samuel 1:26Nice idol you are worshiping in your avatar. Is that a Golden Cross I see there? God hates hypocrisy and will burn you for all eternity unless you change your evil ways. I see you are selling "Christ-based businesses," as well. Dear me. No wonder this country is going to the dogs.
Because Adam and Steve may have booked the reception hall that my son and future daughter-in-law wanted to use! Curse them!
I guess I can be viewed as being sexually immoral because I dont have sex to reproduce the way I am "SUPPOSED" to as I was taught in my religion growing up. I have sex because I like to share that part of me with my husband and I like it.
A woman's only purpose was to be fruitful, ughhh. My uterus would have fallen out already if I had taken those teachings literal. I also use protection, which is another thing we are not supposed to do either.
So I guess I am a big disappointment. All this stuff just gives me a headache."Love thy neighbor as thyself"
Yeah, but I thought that self-love was bad, too. Wasn't that one of Christine O'Donnel's planks?
Where can I find a place where - what - the day after Christmas someone can apparently be so bored he thinks up yet another "Adam and Steve" thread?
Couldn't it have at least been a "Madame and Eve" thread for a change? That is very brave of you to cast judgment and point out "wrong doings" of others.
"Most people who are homosexuals have been raped."
I especially liked this one. Very nice. Belittling, but solicitous; passive aggressive - not a direct attack; merely a suggestion that anyone who is homosexual must have suffered to have chosen the "homosexual life," - well done. I like it a lot - this should cause a lot of ill feeling - as you intended.
Not as good as "most atheists have been hurt by the church, and therefore reject god," - but close.
I admire you for your bravery in doing it from behind a fake user name. Well done.Mark, There you go again masterfully twisting my words. I have not posted a judgemental statement nor did I intend for my response to cause ill-feeling. If it does, I am not sorry for stating truth. Have a Happy New Year
Of course you are not sorry - why would you care if you cause ill feeling? Oh yes - you have a Happy new year also. I hope that as you sow ye shall reap.
"there is nothing normal about same sex attraction and that's a fact."
No judgment - just stating the facts. Dear me.
And immediately!
But I think she's a strong person and is doing well, hopefully. She certainly is doing a good work for the Lord I believe.
edit----
I remembered her name. It's R. Shipman. I've had problems before linking to hubs; otherwise I'd post it here; but her screen name here is rshipman.Good for her!
Thanks for the screen name.
Good, I believe in the word of God also. Men didn't write the bible with their own knowledge. God is the author, and the scriptures were inspired by God as the men were writing. Will you please show me the words of who is preaching hate? Christianity to me is a wonderful relationship with Jesus.
Yes, but considering that you don't feel the need to provide any studies or anything whatsoever other than you're own words, it would be prudent to note that there are a number of studies that would certainly show your claims are quite specious indeed.
"...male sexual assault has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the attacker or the victim, just as a sexual assault does not make the victim survivor gay, bisexual or heterosexual. It is a violent crime that affects heterosexual men as much as gay men. The phrase "homosexual rape," for instance, which is often used by uninformed persons to designate male-male rape, camouflages the fact that the majority of the rapists are not generally homosexual
(Donaldson, 1990)."
"Among the offenders studied, the gender of the victim did not appear to be of specific significance to half of the offenders. Instead, they appeared to be relatively indiscriminate with regard to their choice of a victim -- that is, their victims included both males and females, as well as both adults and children. The choice of a victim seemed to be more a matter of accessibility than of sexual orientation, gender or age.
(Groth & Burgess, 1980)"
Many people believe that the majority of male rape occurs in prison; however, there is existing research which shatters this myth. A study of incarcerated and non-incarcerated male rape victims in Tennessee concluded that the similarities between these two groups would suggest that the sexual assault of men may not be due to conditions unique to a prison and that all men are potential victims
(Lipscomb et al., 1992).
"Research indicates that the most common sites for male rape involving post-puberty victims are outdoors in remote areas and in automobiles (the latter usually involving hitchhikers). Boys in their early and mid-teens are more likely to be victimized than older males (studies indicate a median victim age of 17).
(Porter, 1986)."Beelzedad - I think you and I (and others) are quite aware that your bringing the facts to the table won't change the ball-game. I asked for the same and got nada. As always.
Some folks like to believe that homosexuality is a choice, and/or prefer to believe that it's caused rather than a natural occurrence.
That then makes it easier to 'evidence' that folks can be saved from sinning [in such a vile manner] by repenting and receiving the Lord into their lives. And etc.
I have another word for the above - and it isn't even close to the word delusion. I prefer bigotry
"What's revolting about a woman's body? Nothing."
Are you trying to tell us something, Brenda?

I say what a man and woman does in the privacy of their own home is nobodies' business but their own. Unless it's something illegal, then I could give two cents to a rat's a**. Seriously, the way I look at it is that statistically there's two girls for every guy ratio on Earth, as it's been speculated by scientists. Therefore, for every gay guy out there, there's like two girls out there potentially for ME!
Just kidding, as I doubt I'd probably get one of those girls, but it would increase my chances with them statistically if more guys were gay. lol. sorry, i don't mean to make light of a situation, but that's just me.
Besides, this kind of reminds me of how one guy I used to work with named charles (fake name to hide his identity), used to hit on young 18 to 19 yr old girls, and he was 50 yrs old by the way ladies and gents. He asked me once how I felt about him doing that, since everyone we worked with thought he was a sick deviant for chasing barely legal girls. I just told him hey, "I don't give a rat's a** what you do behind close doors, as it has nothing to do with me. Unless your chasing after underage girls and/or raping these women, then we're cool." Anyways, we both had a good laugh about it, and became close friends. unfortunately, he got fired though since his sales were low (we both worked in retail), but he was a good guy.
The point is unless someone is doing something illegal, then I say who cares? What a person does behind closed doors is nobodies' business but their own. period. to say otherwise is hypocritical. Sure thing... i only borrowed it briefly.
Indeed. Anytime you mention your girlfriend/boyfriend or husband/wife, you're parading your sexuality in front of everybody. Every time you show someone a picture of your kids (the fruits of your loins), you're flaunting your sexuality. Every time you make a list of celebrities you'd like to sleep with, you're flaunting your sexuality. Any time you wish you could meet a good girl/guy, you're flaunting your sexuality.
But since it's hetero-sexuality, that's okay.

Unless we begin to eat each other like cannibals! I need extra salt please.
Forget it Castlepaloma, its like I told habee, you will just get a headache trying to make sense of the nonsense...
I had to take two Aleve myself hun! LOL
Most people aren't attracted to the same sex. That's why homosexuals are such easy targets: there are so few of them.
glendacaba, Interesting post. So far, I have been falsely accused of lying, being judgemental. I know without a doubt I have not posted any hate speech. I will not be surprised if I have been reported for hate speech. Thank you for your prayers. Have a Happy New Year
Cagsil, What part of my response you are not understanding? I encourage you to read once again. My post never stated "all" homosexuals. I stated "many" or "most" homosexuals. It will help you to quit speed reading in order to view words correctly.
I hope you are having a Happy New Year.That's okay. It doesn't matter. The amount of ignorance in the statement that "most" or "many" is still inaccurate.
And, yet again, you've still failed to realize opening your mouth about it, still requires back up material.
So, with that said- Wake up to reality would ya?I respectfully disagree. I am fully awoke to reality. Thank you. God bless you!
Here's the thing.
You can claim "all - many - most" or whatever, but it will still be just a purposely contrived fabrication on the simple fact that the evidence does not support your claims. And, whether they are your claims or something you may have heard somewhere doesn't really matter.
The point is that all you are ever going to manage to achieve by following down that path is to build a solid foundation as a bold faced liar.
If instead, you wanted to clear the air and be honest about it, simply state that there is no evidence to support your claims and that your views are entirely driven by religious bigotry.
At the very least, I would consider you an honest person and would respect you dearly for it. I am entirely sincere.
There are only three passages relating directly to homosexuality in the New Testament: Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, and 1 Timothy 1:8–11.
Corithians and Timothy both refer to "malakoi" and "arsenokoitai" - words often translated as "male prostitutes" and "sodomites" or "homosexual offenders." However, there's reason to think from studies of other contemporary Greek literature of the time that "arsenokoitai" actually means something more like "pimp."
Romans refers to homosexual acts among idolators and treats it more as a punishment for the sin of idolatry than a sin by itself.
Jesus Himself didn't say a word about homosexuality, though He was pretty harsh on divorce.
The most blatant Biblical prohibition against homosexuality is in Leviticus, but Leviticus also bans people from eating pork, shellfish, or meat and dairy in combination, wearing "clothing of mixed threads," and many other things that nearly all modern Christians claim to ignore on the grounds of "continuing revelation" without ever explaining why a vague reference to God making impure foods pure means that it's okay to eat bacon cheeseburgers but some vague reference to prostitutes, pimps, and idolators mean that homosexuality is still an abomination.
I'm not really qualified to judge, being a heretic and all, but according to this guy, you're "destined for punishment," you rebeller you.
I wanted to mention, too, that this thread is not directed at anyone other than those that are warning everyone else that they're going to hell. My point is if you insist you're supposed to do so because the Bible tells you to, then you might as well as be consistent and do everything the Bible tells you to do. To cherry-pick the sins you're going to obsess about, those that you're not "guilty" of yourself, suggests your piety is a matter of convenience.
That said, either through Jewish or Christian definitions, no Christian believer is going to hell (Jews don't believe in hell, and Christians believe that faith alone is the deciding factor)...although try to convince some of the zealots out there of this.
Yeah, I think it's pretty telling that Jews are overwhelmingly pro-gay rights. IMHO, it's sad that a religion basically founded on the basis of love is having to play catch-up on this issue.
Yes, that Jews tend to lead rather than follow on social progress issues is what drew me to the religion.
As for the Christianity-is-love part: there are Christians who truly focus on that, and others that really get into the hellfire-and-brimstone part. Not hard to argue that the latter is missing the point.

It's not a mental illness, just mass hypnosis...
So - god hates gays then? OK..............
Waiting on your list of countries in which homosexuality is illegal which do not have strong religious roots. Seeing as you religionists do like to pull "facts" like this out of your behinds.
50 or so should so it.No, the gods hate just the sex part??
Hello Marcus, Happy New Year to you.
EDIT:
Theology is irrelevant. Because theology is now defined --openly-- as logic & sensation. No country on the planet is without effect of said practices. Seems the proverbial law & prophets have reunited --and it feels so good???
PS, I didn't post it was 76 countries, so ask the other guy to list them. My list would be every country and no country at the same time. Hence the conflict of societies.
Your head, dude!
Do you think with your appendix?
Well, some people do, I know.
We need to get rid of all Unions!
