Gay candidate Pete Buttigieg tells Pence:

If you have a problem with who I am , your quarrel is with my creator. source : (various news outlets...the usual lib media)

First and foremost I don't have a problem with Peter Buttigieg being gay. Thus being said, I do have a problem with any gay person using the bible as a political tool to advance his/her agenda, thus being president. Again, I could care less what your sexual orientation is (keep it in the bedroom) .

However,

The Bible strictly condemns homosexuality. Marriage is between Man and Woman.

side note
Mike Pence is only adhering to what the bibles teaches.

My questions .. Is Pete Buttigieg trying to blur traditional christian belief to get voters on his side? who is Pete Buttigiegs creator? I'm pretty sure that every major religion condemns homosexuality. Its strange that he would want to distant himself from millions of Christians being that he seems very intelligent .

Any thoughts?

I think the word is condemns not condone

The creator didn't make him stupid, he should take all the credit for that.

Do you also have a problem with straight men using the bible as a political tool to advance their agenda ?

Is that necessarily a good thing , people adhering to the teachings of ancient texts written by ancient man has been shown to be problematic in the recent past.

I'm pretty sure that every major religion condemns homosexuality.

I'm pretty sure that every major religion has homosexuality at every level of their structure , publicly condemning but privately condoning , non more so than Christianity.

When did doody-hole preference become a job qualification? What does that have to do with the price of rice? Seems like something irrelevant to public life at all. This has gotten ridiculous.

We should just start calling every public person by some qualifier: black newscaster so-and-so, Asian judge so-and-so, bisexual major so-and-so (oh yeah, they already do that, nvm)

No, actually, the Bible doesn't strictly condemn homosexuality. In fact, many religious scholars have made a case to the contrary.

For historical context, you may want to look up Adelphopoiesis. Just for starters. If you want to know the whole truth.

But more important, our nation was founded by those Christians fleeing the persecution of other Christians, and our natural and Constitutional rights to religious freedom precludes anyone making such decisions for anyone else.

You can believe what you will. I can believe what I will. There is no room within the law for our beliefs to be mandated or forced upon anyone else.

The last time I checked, the Bible was a ridiculously preposterous musty old book full of made up BS that was written by a bunch people who were barely a step up from cavemen trying to explain things they didn't understand. Those morons would have probably said it's a sin to use a computer too if they had any idea that computers would ever exist.

I know I don't, but then I don't see straight pride parades with men dressed as scantily clad priests and mocking nuns wearing a habit and skimpy knickers with their balls hanging out, gyrating against one another.

It does seem a tad hypocritical.

Why does anyone need to know he's gay? Or is his gayness his edge and ticket into the big time? So he's not good enough to make it on his own merit, he needs the "gay" qualifier to push him over the edge? I'd be ashamed to have to go through life like that.

From wiki.

Buttigieg is a Rhodes Scholar and a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard University. From 2007 to 2010 he was a consultant at McKinsey and Company, a management strategy consulting firm.[2] From 2009 to 2017 he served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying for the War in Afghanistan in 2014.


Seems like a reasonably impressive CV to me. How is his 'Gayness' giving him an edge?

he could be the FIRST GAY PRESIDENT!!!!
Pretend you don't get it, your kids might believe you, I don't.

Buttgig is a local oddball that has only been South Bends mayor a short time. Somebody with some cash must be buying him sight unseen for his gayness.

a reply to: network dude

It's so funny watching the Right try to act like denying homosexuals basic rights was not a part of their official party platform until just a few years ago.

Do you have a problem with someone Gay being president?

Where's that separation of church and state Pete?

People have problems with you because your an idiot and a democrat.

Anything else is manufactured outrage.

Is Pete Buttigieg trying to blur traditional christian belief to get voters on his side?

Pete is trying to piss off christians, but he seems to forget what kind a view muslims have on gay people.
