Born that way.

I'm sorry, but what you're saying is kinda ridiculous. What about sociopathic children? Some would argue that they were 'born that way'.Being born that way isn't a valid reason to be accepted and tolerated. But I guess you're on the right track as far as finding tolerance instead of what you were like before.

So, let's throw the gays into prison.

I'm no bible expert, but I just asked a friend of mine who is a pastor and has been studying the bible for some 30 years. He has also spent the last 30 years actively supporting gay rights. He assured me that any attempt at interpreting the bible to get anything that says jesus had no problems with the gheys is futile. It's all up to personal interpretation. Here's an example of what I mean.

I see no reason why if Jesus was against men taking a male-wife, that he did not speak out against it.

There are plenty of bible thumpers out there who have interpreted the bible the opposite of what you've just said. Would you like me to quote some?The point is all I see in the OP's intent is rationalization of what you want to believe. The very same passages you want to bring up for your own purpose can also be interpreted to throw the gheys into jail. Your way of thought has absolutely no benefit at all to the fight for equality.Anyway, continue on if you want to keep rationalizing your beliefs.

Yes, and since homosexuals spread disease and steer society's moral outlook southward, we'd be doing society a favor by throwing them in prison.How is homosexuality not harmful to society? If every person was a homosexual, the human race would be extinct in a generation.You can look this up if you want. A lot of countries are facing a potential population deficit in the near future. Countries like Italy, Britain, USA, Australia, etc. are having birthrates lower than what's needed to replace the current population. The only countries that are not having this problem are countries that persecute homosexuals. Obviously, there's a connection here.

An unlikely public figure died today. At least now he is free from the morally superior christians...Quiet but determined, John Lawrence is remembered as a hero in the ... - CultureMap HoustonToo bad he ruined the morally superior christians' attempt to moralize society.

Don't take my word for it. Talk to people like rush limbaugh, pat robertson, etc. I'd say they are a little bit more learned than you.By the way, did you know that anti-sodomy laws were finally declared unconstitutional in 2003 by the Supreme court? Gee, I wonder who put those laws into the books in the first place. Oh, wait, let me guess, they're weren't true christians, right?

Remember that I'm not a christian. My evidence is the christian majority. Don't take my word for it. Take theirs.Do you or do you not agree that the christian right put into place anti-sodomy laws in many states and that those laws were finally declared unconstitutional in 2003? Do you or do you not agree that GWB is a christian?Seems kinda counterproductive for you to argue with me, considering I'm not a christian. Why don't you argue with the christian majority who don't agree with your interpretation?I'm just a messenger of the christian moral superior majority. They say gays should be thrown into jail. Who are you to say the majority of christians out there are not true christians?Edited by Taz, : No reason given.
