So what is this "Sinister Plan" the Gay Agenda has?
When you remove the foundation from society don't be surprised when the roof falls in on you.
According to the United Nations’ Human Development Report (2005), the most atheistic societies—countries like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the United Kingdom—are actually the healthiest, as indicated by measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per-capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate, and infant mortality. Conversely, the fifty nations now ranked lowest by the UN in terms of human development are unwaveringly religious. Of course, correlational data of this sort do not resolve questions of causality—belief in God may lead to societal dysfunction, societal dysfunction may foster a belief in God, each factor may enable the other, or both may spring from some deeper source of mischief. Leaving aside the issue of cause and effect, these facts prove that atheism is perfectly compatible with the basic aspirations of a civil society; they also prove, conclusively, that religious faith does nothing to ensure a society’s health.
The Myth of Secular Moral Chaos
I believe in God and Jesus Christ, I can't just throw away the bible even though I question it at times.

Okay so you believe in God, Satan, Christ, and the Bible. Yet somehow you're not religious, and you hold contempt for religion. People that belong to Christianity also believe in God, Satan, Christ, and the Bible. So what exactly are you removing from the equation that makes it so you're not religious??
Also, what source are you drawing from to formulate this theory about a sinister gay agenda? The Bible, right?

Please I grew and still reside in the country of Alaska, I've been proficient with firearms since I was ten. Though I wouldn't be a typical cop due to having a conscience (I'm sure many of you would disagree after the can of worms I opened, lol) I have a lot of law enforcement, boxers and fighters in my family.
Maybe not intellectually gifted or some passionate convincing debater. What I have is rough upbringing, strong work ethic and am ready to stand my ground when I must.
I'm not hateful, not violent, open to critisism, and only want to better myself for my familys sake. This is actually the most energy I've spent on this subject.
That was my whole point, clearly I lost everybody with the religion, we're all distracted and divided with the surface issues when there is something else going on.
Oooorrrrr I'm in full blown conspiracy mode and need some fresh air.....there is a lot of pent up emotion concerning this subject, this is the first I've encountered this and I'm a bit surprised.

I have had a long term theory that homophobia is just good old fashioned misogyny repackaged...
Now we are expected to accept women as equals, and it's not PC to use belittling language and stereotypes, we've created a new victim in the LGBTQ community, a easy and socially approved target for being considered less than human. Now in much the same way that women's rights were challenged, we challenge gay rights as the White Male patriarchy feels challenged and at threat of losing its priviledge.
“Earlier research of oxytocin paints a very rosy view of it. We thought it was odd a neurological system that survived evolution would make people indiscriminately loving toward others,” said social psychologist Carsten De Dreu of the University of Amsterdam, co-author of a Jan. 10 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “Under oxytocin we saw an increase of in-group favoritism, which has the downside of discrimination against people who are not part of your group.”

I find it highly strange that marriage equality and abortion are symptomatic of Satan's agenda at work in America but hundreds of years of slavery, genocide of ingenious peoples, indentured servitude and abuse of immigrants (who have themselves been a majority Christian) isn't.

I see you have adopted views that allow for the total denial of any and personal responsibility
WTF?
A certain percentage of men are sexually attracted to children. However, a relationship of that nature would be permanently damaging to that child. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the adult to abstain. If they do not, then they have harmed a child and should have to answer to the law.
2 grown ass men deciding they want to make out/live together/be each other's beneficiaries/etc. is none of your business. If you feel it's personally responsible to be straight, then be my guest, but that's where it ends. You have no right to force your beliefs upon consenting adults. It is the place of the law to allow consenting adults to live and do as they please. You can be straight. Someone else can be gay. And yet someone else might be bi. Some people are asexual. How does living by YOUR made up rules suddenly become someone else's 'personal responsibility'????
