Yeah and isn't it interesting you choose the debunked pro gay studies that NO ONE in Science using the scientific method agrees with. You are promoting bunk junk science but I expected as much from you.
I'd like to see this statement qualified.
So you think homosexuality is a product of nurture?

Jez, can you at least link it? Your posts are dishearteningly long.

I feel so bad for these children..they are but innocent mouthpieces for their parents. I can only imagine the embarrassment they must endure before the dogma actually takes hold of their minds..kind of a vicious cycle.
Just in case you haven't seen the documentary or anyone else here... Jesus Camp puts this molding of young minds in proper perspective.
Here are some highlights from the film:
You can view the whole doc on dailymotion

1: There is nothing unnatural about homosexuality as it's common in nature and well documented in all apes.
2: Sexuality is neurological. Brain scans of gay men show similar behaviour to strait women when given a stimulus.
3: Gender non-conformity in boys is the strongest predictor of homosexuality in later life suggesting that homosexuality develops very early with other traits.
4: The number of older brothers a boy has, the greater the probability he'll turn out gay regardless if he is raised with his older brothers or not.

The heathen have an interesting track record for demonizing Christ and Christianity, particularly with the propesterous lie that Christ and satan are one in the same

It's a documented fact that what we see today as the New Testament was heavily edited at the Council of Nicaea, ordered by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in order to resolve the differences between the many religious factions and make Christianity the state religion. It was in Nicaea where books were burned and the text and meaning of the Gospel was edited and altered. There is also, for instance, a very strong case for the fact that last part of the Gospel of Mark was fraudently added to the Bible centuries after the original writing.
Some links that I've found (there are so many):
www.bible-researcher.com...
www.seedofabraham.net...
www.bibliotecapleyades.net...
Christians today really haven't the right to be throwing stones or judging anyone. The religion has a very bad track record for persucution and deception. If only we could ask the likes of Joan of Arc or Galileo Galilei or the millions of others who died under the hand of the Church what they thought of this great religion.
Burning books is just another of a long line of misdeeds the Church is doing in the name of Christ. I can only hope that Christ Himself will one day look at what's been done in his name and forgive them all.

You claim it'sto biased or to a gay-agenda but the very apparent anti-homosexuality agenda merely attacking this apparent sound stuff from it's own bias is more likely. Science has a bs-detection mechanism called peer review.

I'm borderline nihilist. I've met a lot of nasty people over the years. I've adopted the saying "People are scum until proven otherwise." I'm never disappointed.
Both parties in this were fairly out of order. The book didn't need to be moved, and the librarian didn't need to make a blog. People who needlessly kick up a crap storm fall under the scum category.

Bye oh and
Jesus loves you
Look, do you even understand how offensive this statement can be to a athiest. I know you mean it in good manner, but to someone who simply does not believe what you believe, and quite frankly never will, you are talking down too, insulting, and demeaning me, and poeple like me, by insinuating I need to be saved. I do not and never will tell you to give up your faith because you are misguided, despite my personal opinion that believes you are.
I have no problems with those of any faith including yourself, but why should I respect you when you are being insulting whether you know it or not. Let christians and gays do whatever they want, just don't expect me to take part in it or be forced into it.
Thats the part you of faith can't come to grips with. I have read your book and found it wanting. That is my right. So why this eternal battle to make us athiests believe in the lord. Notice I said lord and not god, there's a huge differnece. So stop thinking we are misguided lost souls and show us some respect for once as HUMANS who simply live our lives different than yours.

Some generalisations of Christianity - particularly American Christianity, the more typically fundamentalist Christianity, can be spot on. Most won't consider the possibility that they are wrong. That's pretty arrogant.
