Well, there's that JJ, but how about something constructive like learning about the real world? You know, the one where magical flying zombies(Jesus) don't exist and gravity, not love, is what keeps us on the planet. You know that little thing called reality where giants and talking snakes are known for what they are, BS!

So am I to understand that, if it is absloutly acceptable by your own morality, it should be by everyone elses, as well, and if someone doesn't fit in with this universal morality of yours, they should be mocked, forced to sit down and watch acts of homosexual love (some "diversity" training for people deemed "homophobes" is done this way) along with anything else their morality doesn't synch up with.
This is quite amusing. Christianity is getting slammed for being intollerant. The amusing part is, some of the most intollerant people are slamming Christianity for its apparent intollerance.
Some people have a problem with vulgar language. Some people have a problem with sexually suggestive material. Some people have a problem with violence. We have warnings on the TV for those people. They've accepted, for the most part, that the duty is thiers -- if they don't want to see it, they can turn it off. Well, guess what: some people have a problem with homosexuality. Why shouldn't those people be afforded the same right as people who don't like to see violence on TV?

What is the problem with homosexuality in the first place?
-- I mean, why are the neo-cons and devout Christians so against this?

Er..Davood, I don't follow. My point was that the parental advisories are to parents who could have a problem with the content they're about to watch and can protect their children from it. It happens that homosexuality bothers some people, and they may not want their children to watch something like that. So what's wrong with a parental advisory?

Do you know what other countries have problems with religous nuts trying to "protect" their children the immorality of same sex marriage and breasts?
Saudia Arabia is one. Their society treats these issues similarly as does the US's. You can bet your behind that if the Christians had their way you'd be getting beheaded for adultary( if you are female that is) or homosexuality too.
Shows like the Simpsons have to protect themselves against the fanatical right wing nutters.
The government happily wastes time and money to go after these immoral tv shows and video games keeping we the people preoccupied while they continue waging an illegal war.

There's all kind of weird stuff about owning slaves and a woman's uncleanliness and tattoos and haircuts. How do you justify picking out just the ones about homosexuality and ignoring the rest? I've always wondered that and have never gotten an answer.
8Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers.
9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

James, I agree with you and so do most historians. I cannot think of one good thing Christianity in particular has done for our world.
