Thanks for the verses, at last they show a side of Christianity that the preachers taking over ATS lately has forgotten in their pursue of self misguided righteousness and hell bound preaching.

Here's some more scripture for ya.
“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Mark 10:6-9).
These are Jesus' words.
Just because he didn't specificly mention homosexuality people are assuming he didn't care about it. He didn't specificly mention wife beating or incest either, but other people in the Bible did.

MY GIRLFRIEND IS INFERTILE. Are you saying my committing myself to her is wrong too?!?!

Oh my good grief people. Get real for a minute. No I'm not saying that. Her being infertile is not against nature. SOMETIMES things happen. By the way, I'm sorry to hear that about her.

Ah, but wasn't prostitution proclaimed wrong by others in the Bible but Jesus hung with Mary M.

This nonsense. If you are not inclined towards same-sex sex, you're not gonna do it because it's icky...same, I'm told, as a gay feels about hetero sex. You can't talk somebody into being gay. You can force yourself on somebody, and that's a whole different debate, but consentual sex between two adults is nobody's business but their own. If you don't want to see two guys holding hands...turn your head, turn the channel whatever.

NOW...back to the initial issue, Kern was elected to represent her district. As long as she was not inciting hatred, she can say what she wants...but she is accountable at the polls. I'm not gay, I'm glad my kids aren't gay, but that's because I wish them a life unencumbered by unwanted attention of bigots and fools. But if Kern was running as my rep, I'd throw her butt out as someone who does not speak with my voice. Further to that, I'm falling back on my signature, as I've about talked this one out.

Gay people are usually exclusively gay. If you are bisexual or heterosexual and promiscuous - you just like sex, in so many words you are a pervert. Those animals are just little perverts trying to get off, they're animals they don't know any better. If those animals were exclusively Gay the species would become extinct. Big difference.

I view homosexuality as a mental illness. I view homosexual sex as a sin. Judge the sin not the sinner. There are people born with both sets of organs, hermaphrodites - it's an aberration - the doctor makes a decision and usually snips away - now I am sure they can become confused about sexual identity - I think homosexuality is the psychological component to that confusion. It's a mental disorder like being a hermaphrodite is a physical abnormality. I don't see a need to persecute sick people but I'm not going to approve of their disease and call it normal. If they are trying to in act legislations that call it normal I think they are wrong. If it were "normal" there would be no human race.

He didn't "hang" with a prostitute. He talked with her, and he washed her sins away. He never condoned her actions. Don't try and get your point across intrepid by perverting what the Bible says.

Where in the Bible did it say that she wasn't a part of Jesus following? I believe she was. My religious day are decades behind me though.

He never condoned her actions.

He didn't condemn her either. Didn't one of the apostles have some sort of grudge against her and jesus told them to back off?

Not perverting it at all, looking at it without bias.

Intrepid, do you think you could set up some sort of debate with these people?

It's impossible to get them to really focus and answer questions because they can just pick and choose what to respond to on this forum.

Obviously they have to be willing, but do you think we could work something out?

I think you are missing the point!

Why should Fairy Tales have any bearing on someone's sexual preference? Wake up and smell the reality.

Seriously On one hand we have fear mongers... (er Bible thumpers) and on the other we have someone who feels they need to justify it within the cosmology of the bible thumper, so they spit statistics.


Let's just call a spade a spade. Fairy Tales have caused more people to get killed in the name of one Fairy or another, that it's time to stop this and call it what it is. Stupidity masked as morality.

But, he said (tongue firmly jammed into cheek)...lets try to keep the word Fairy out of any civilized discourse on homosexuality.

Hey, Intrepid, since you were just here, I need help. My avatar dissappeared and my member center page will not let me replace it. Any ideas? Any help would be awesome.
