Somehow, i think you are a little confused.
The homosexual agenda. * The homosexual agenda includes desensitizing the public: "The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights.....To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preferences the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games....At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full 'appreciation' or 'understanding' of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing...then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won" (25)
* Part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one homosexual admitted in the October 1987 homosexual rally on Washington: "We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right -- as heterosexual Americans already have -- to see government and society affirm our lives" (27)
* Part of the homosexual agenda is to turn people from Christianity: "The teaching that only male-female sexual activity within the bounds and constraints of marriage is the only acceptable form should be reason enough for any homosexual to denounce the Christian religion" (1)
* Homosexuals knowingly lied (and still lie) about the 10% figure (i.e., homosexuals make up 10% of the population). As Tom Stoddard (formerly of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund) said, "We used that figure when most gay people were entirely hidden to try to create an impression of our numerousness" (17).
* The average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430.00 (most of which is disposable because no children to take care of!). The average of the general population is $32,144.00. The average of blacks is $12,166.00 (24)
* 59.6% of homosexuals are college graduates. 18.0% of the general population are college graduates (24). Too bad they aren't smart enough to listen to God. "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:22)
* 49.0% of homosexuals hold professional/managerial positions. 15.9% of the general population hold such positions (24). Where's the job discrimination?
A phrase that has come up recently in this earth is "sexual orientation." This is a phrase made up by homosexuals to try to make themselves look less filthy than they really are. The purpose of the phrase is to take the spotlight from what these perverts do, and put it on the notion that they are just poor, mistreated people, who simply are attracted to members of the same sex - as if they aren't engaging in activity forbidden by God Almighty. "Sexual orientation," as used today, has nothing to do with sexual activity (yeah, right), but only refers to who or what a particular person is attracted to. If you think that people of other "sexual orientations" are just fine, let's see what other "sexual orientations" you would necessarily have to accept as wholesome and pure. If you're not going to discriminate based on "sexual orientation", then you must not discriminate against any of the following. Bestiality, pedophile, necrophilia., exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, masochism, sadism, transvestitism, voyeurism. If you discriminate against any of these, you're a hypocrite. These "sexual orientations" are generally known as "paraphilias", and are mental disorders - just like homosexuality used to be (29).
Rule 13 of Alinksy’s Rules for Radicals:
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Being a fundamental Christian, homeschooling mom, often I am accused of indoctrinating my kids with religion (which is pretty much true), and the question sometimes arises:
"What are you teaching your children about atheism?"
I teach my children that atheism is the disbelief in God, or the denial of God’s existence. I also teach my children that in the Bible it says, “The fool says in his heart, there is no God.”
I teach my kids that atheists are liars. Self-deceived, sadly, but liars nonetheless because they reject Truth - Specifically, the Truth that is Jesus Christ. Deep down in their spirits, the knowledge of the Creator endures, but though much denial, atheists suppress this knowledge and exchange the Truth of God for a lie. Since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes are clearly seen, and atheists are without excuse for their willful ignorance! Atheists have became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts have been darkened.
I teach my children that they did NOT evolve from primordial slime, by a series of random chance events brought on by a “cosmic accident” billions of years ago, as the public schools will teach. Instead, I teach my children that they are fearfully & wonderfully made by the hands of God our Creator, created in His image and likeness, and their life has eternal purpose.
My kids will learn how irrational and illogical atheism is, and that it takes way more faith to be an atheist, than it does to believe in Christ. Our faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. By our faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. Atheists look at the majesty of Creation all around them and believe that it came into existence by an accidental, impersonal, amoral, unintelligent force which exists only in their imagination.
I am NOT going to raise my children to be "free-thinkers" and so open minded that their brains fall out, but I am teaching my children of God’s Holy Nature and His Absolute Moral Laws with conviction so that they will be solid in their faith. My kids know what is right and wrong, and that there are severe consequences for sinful behavior.
Our family has a tremendous reverence for God, and we are diligently indoctrinating the principals of God’s Holy Word to our children all throughout the day. We demonstrate our love and obedience towards God, and to each other by the way we conduct our everyday lives, by rebuking the wicked, warning the lost and uplifting fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
Once our children are fully grown and out of our home, they will have the freedom to become atheists and live in rebellion if they want. But, I am confident that my children will never embrace atheism because the Word of God is written on their hearts and they will be smart enough to know better!
When parents train up a child in the way he should go, when he is older, he will not depart from it! That is a spoken promise from God Almighty, and Mama ain't gonna raise no FOOLS
Homosexuality among Serial Killers: Statistics "over 43%": "Homosexual Rape and Murder of Children", published in Journal of the Family Research Institute, Vol. 18 No. 1, Feb 2003.
Technically, 69% of the serial killers in this study were homosexuals (i.e., people who were self-described homosexuals or people who had engaged in homosexual behavior immediately prior to, during, or after committing their murders). The lower statistic of 43% cited above is the proportion who were homosexual among people who molested or raped and then murdered children: 43% of these perpetrators were homosexuals. This lower figure, however, includes people who killed only a single person, and are thus not classified as serial killers. The lower figure is used in the article above (as "over 43%") because it comes from a larger sample size. Presumably, if the sample size were expanded to include a wider range of years, the proportion of serial killers who are homosexuals would remain between the proportion in this study who are serial killers (69% homosexuals versus 31% heterosexuals) and the proportion of all killers in this study (43% homosexual versus 57% heterosexual). Also note the approximately 50% of murders committed by homosexuals reported by Warren with regards to murders of adults. See also: Gemert, F. van, "Chicken kills hawk: gay murders during the eighties in Amsterdam", published in Journal of Homosexuality. 26(4), 149-174 (1994).
One hundred and three news stories involved the rape and/or murder of children: 90 involved the molestation and murder of a child or children, 11 stories involved only the abduction and rape of children, and two the rape and mutilation, but not the murder, of the children involved. Of the 90 news stories where the child was raped and murdered (0.47% of the unique child molestation stories), 40% involved homosexual molestation.
In the most unusual case, an "educated and relatively wealthy" leader recruited two other men and a boy. This team raped and murdered precisely 100 boys 1. The leader had had prior arrests for suspicion of sodomizing boys...
Of the 95 perpetrators in these 90 stories, at least 43% engaged in homosexuality... Of the 217 victims, at least 68% were victimized by homosexual perpetrators, and at least 67% were boys... Furthermore, both multiple perpetrators and multiple victims were associated with homosexuality. In the three stories where two or more killers were implicated, the rapes were homosexual. In 69% of the 13 stories involving more than one victim, the perpetrator engaged in homosexuality. Another 11 stories involved a charge of attempted murder. In 64% of those cases, the perpetrator engaged in homosexuality.
When all other cases of child molestation from the Lexis-Nexis search are added to these stories, there were 2,181 perpetrators in the 1,914 distinct events whose sexual proclivities could be characterized by the sex of their victim: 41% engaged in sex with their own sex, the remaining 59% with the opposite sex (another 118 perpetrators violated at least 190 children whose sex was not given). Of the 5,630 underage victims of these molestations, 61% were victimized by individuals who engaged in homosexuality. And those who performed homosexual seductions were quite one-sided: 3,386 of their victims were boys, only 60 were girls.
Overall, there was a slightly higher rate of homosexuality among perpetrators who raped and killed than among those who "merely" raped or molested (43% vs. 41%). In addition, the proportion of victims attributed to homosexual perpetrators who raped and murdered was higher than the proportion attributed to homosexuals who only raped or molested (68% vs. 61%). All of the cases involving eating or torturing the victim were committed by homosexual practitioners...
Murder and child molestation combine[ed]... are also independently associated with those who engage in homosexuality. Blanchard, Barbaree, Bogaert, Dicky, Klassen, Kuban, and Zucker, working with male offenders, concluded in 2000 that 2 the "best epidemiological evidence indicates that only 2-4% of men attracted to adults prefer men; in contrast, around 25-40% of men attracted to children prefer boys.... Thus the rate of homosexual attraction is 6-20 times higher among pedophiles [those who have sex with children under the age of 12 yr.]"

You who spout a load of intolerance and cite conspiracy are simply nasty minded delusionals and establishment malcontents, nothing else
Please don't try to portray yourself as anything else.
Your attitude is an indictment of Christianity when you vilify as you have done, how dare you veil your prejudices by calling yourself a christian,
Christians are good people and i say that as somebody of diametrically opposed spectrum of faith, i have more respect for Christianity than you purport to have and i'm not christian myself.
Just because you learn what's in the bible and repeat it to your advantage doesn't mean you are Christian in mind and spirit, pal!
From what you've said in your last post Aermacchi, i suggest you get therapy and debrief that twaddle you've been brainwashed with, seeing conspiracies where there are none is called paranoia, matey.

Yes, that's 83.761% of the total! Christians certainly know how to break the law, don't they?
Notice how atheists make up a total of 8-16% of the American population yet represent a minuscule 0.209% of the prison population?
What say you, Aermacchi? Logic dictates that Christians are more likely to be criminals than anyone else, should we condemn the religion to history books because it seems to encourage crime?

You clearly didn't even read the list properly because I can definitely see Hindus on there, I also wonder how Sikhs and the like would take your name-calling of 'non religion'. Your ignorance and bigotry says it all really.
When all you can do is question the authenticity of official statistics then you know you're losing, my argument is no more flawed than yours that claims homosexuals are not discriminated against - so what is it, are we wrong or right?
I know the answer, you will never understand as you're too wrapped up in un-Christian hate. You've been exposed yet again.

You don't impress me atheist.
In fact, you bore me

That, from somebody who breaks down every response he gets and utters rubbish to substantiate a lost argument.
You have no real point, all you are doing is fighting/arguing as to defend yourself, not Christan's as a collective.
You cannot qualify the sentiments of others in your supposed belief system, only yourself.
The fact is, pro life activists who are purport to be Christians, anti pagan preachers who purport to be christian and anti gay activists who purport to be christian all behave in a very unchristian manner and at extremes they commit hate crimes and that needs to be addressed by law of state of nations
You don't actually say anything when you reply, instead are just trying to break down every point and deride everything that doesn't suit YOU.
Using what you have learnt in the bible to manipulate your way around dissent when good people with something to say post what they have to say.
You are not proving any point pal, you are simply attempting to endorse and qualify your opinions based in hate and not the teachings and principles of your Christ.
Now, for the last time, i am not a witch, i am male, got that?!
And don't you have the barefaced temerity to align me with what is a product of Christianity, Satanism.
There is absolutely nothing in my beliefs which is Satanist, Satanists are the polar opposite of Christians, what i believe in is older than Christianity and nothing what i believe is Satanic.
Just you are a bit thick actually and instead of seeing similarities in good people, you put people into your little pigeon holes of those to hate, with erroneous analyses from your obtuse perception of your religion and use the bible to mask your misanthropic personality of hate and prejudice to anybody who doesn't agree with you.
I've explained what construes my beliefs in a basic way but you still portray me as a witch and a Satanist.
Well that is a sure indication of how little you actually know and live inside a microcosm of self righteous nonsense.
You don't actually have any real knowledge do you, actually blinded to the real world by your hate and obsessions with a book.
Why don't you try and look at similarities in your fellow humans, Not The Differences and understand people instead of spouting hate, intolerance and sectarian divisionist format arguments that you utter and keep pasting from sources which are also hatemongers as endorsement as if it makes your points more valid.
You need to understand people are people and Christians who are intolerant of others are not being Christian and you are abominations of Christianity not the good people who try to live by the principles and teachings your Christ set down.
Prove you are a good person by actually coming out with christian sentiment, a good person who is capable of forgiveness and love for their fellow people, because i've seen nothing yet which indicates you are Christain, just nonsense deriding different groups of people who you disagree with and your manipulating parts of the bible taken out of context to rationalise what is a sickness in your own ego and likely deep into your psyche as well.
You should actually join a church and talk to a proper Christian.
You sure as hell aren't one from what you've posted and give good christians i've plenty of respect for, a bad name when you associate your pisspoor attitudes with them.
You should be ashamed of yourself, about you are Christian, nothing of the sort, you just use it to excuse a bad attitude and personality, your prejudices and hate
Now be a good ostrich and find a nice sandpit, there's a chap!

It's very hard to believe that you are not prone to biggotry when you continually use "atheist" as a derogatory slur.

Make no mistake Riley, that is EXACTLY how I meant it
You see I don't HAVE to be tolerant of them until you start showing a little more tolerance of bigotry and hate, God knows we Christians have had to

Nowhere did i ever call myself a witch.
You aren't clever at all, you are a feckless nut job who abuses the Christian religion and the bible to his own end.
A puerile idiot with very little knowledge or vision outside his petty perceptions of how the world should be and corrupted understanding of the bible because you and those similar manipulate everything to fit what you want the bible to say which fits your petty minded prejudices of others doing you no harm, so the true essence is lost as you expound your false beliefs and representations of the Christian religion and teachings.
Look at the similarities not the differences.
Christians who know what they believe in, know it is not for them to judge.
That is all you have done, the bible says what happens to those such as yourself matey, perhaps you would do well to learn about Christianity properly before you profess and speak for Christianity in general as though you are qualified to do so.
you are an asshole with mental health issues
As i said, go join a proper church and learn something from proper Christians because you ain't one, matey.
Definately no Christian!
Just an inane asshole with mental health issues, by all accounts.
That's the last i am acknowledging you as i have no need to pander your altercate cycle of self validations and misrepresentations, trying to convince people you are something you are not.
Exhibit some proper Christian sentiment and attitude and i may take you seriously, until that time i've had enough of your self indulgent nonsense and blatant prejudices and so will simply ignore you from this point on.
