I have seen no gay bashing. I have seen people with different opinions. People like you always call that bashing. So much for tolerance. Actually if you read the entire thread the most hateful comments are directed not at gays but at people of faith.
"Glad to see this little treatise is getting some traction. I have a tendency to trot it out when the gay-bashing begins and it sure creates a bunch of huffing and puffing (and giggles from the other side)".
So are you saying all women are emotional and illogical?
So any group of people expressing their opinions is censorship and without honor according to you. Interesting....
It's a reasonable example which can be applied to almost any type of similar situation. Just using your logic
I'm only referring to the voting process. The fact that a group of people vote (ie express their collective opinions) about someone. You could apply this to almost any similar process. I liked the way you tried to deflect from the subject though....good try !
i]Don't forget the etc... part.. and of course you do or you wouldn't be here.

There it is again in a nutshell. No one can have an opinion about gays unless it is sanctioned by the gay community. I guess that is what passes for free speech nowadays.
So is it safe to say that the "christian country of the US tried to own Canada in 1812 and got sent home re thinkin'?
Was God on your side that day?
"the former Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath says Mr Bush told him and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President: "I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.' And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,' and I did."
No WMD
Was The All Knowing's intel faulty?
Who owns the Iraqi oil wells now?
Why are US troopd guarding the Afghani Poppy fields...
who ownes the profits from the opium?

Where did Jezeus(sp?) say anything bad about homosexuality?
Here is a list of God's critters that are from time to time gay:
"Homosexual behavior has been observed in barnyard animals (bulls, cows, stallions, donkeys, cats, rams goats, pigs), 18 species in captivity (including rats, antelope, elephants, hyenas, monkeys, apes, rabbits, lions, porcupines, hamsters, mice, porpoises). For example, two female macaque monkeys were observed giving each other orgasms. Homosexual behavior has also been observed in several species in the wild-- anolis lizards, mountain sheep, seagulls, langurs, bonobo chimpanzees."
So, did God make a batch of abominations?
Are Christians telling God he made a batch of abominations?
PS
dispite my prolly lame attemps at being entertaining
I really mean these questions in all seriousness.
Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Confirming my point here again by this drama technique.

I'm simply asking a question. You're the one creating the drama. If your logic works for one group, it must work for all groups.

irrelevent. Nice attempt at deflection though
Just curious as to why you're posting under 2 names?
You have no god given right to hate people because a 2000 year old book tells you to.
Comparing me to a snake for pointing out potential flaws in the Christian
reasoning is well....
Why we stopped Hitler the Christian from owning everything...
He didn't believe in reasoned debate or free speech either.
Also you didn't deal with the issue of Hitlers use of Christianity as part of his justification..
the germans were slightly over half Protestants the rest mostly Catholic I have read.
the group that most supports the Canadian government's war effort are:
are ZIONISTs and CHRISTIANS!!! and Christian ZiONISTs
That's PM Harpers base.
you make my point for me there..
re 1812
from:en.wikipedia.org...
"Some British officials – and some dissident Americans – charged that the goal was to annex part of Canada...
I'm not US or xian bashing here.
the OP was about LITTERAL followers of the bible.
I'm working on:
Litteral Christians are allowed to own people from other nations
and use this to justify wars of conquest that only benefit
the Luciferian NWO

And yes, queers are still an abomination in the eyes of God as found in Romans chapter 1 and various other New testament verses.
Not only have they always been an abomination since the beginning of time, before the law, during the law, after the law, but also now in the church age and into the millennium.
Eating/drinking blood is another abomination that has always been forbidden too, but that's another topic.

I'm really after the mistaken notions that people use to justify war...because they are a manipulation that takes advantage of people's faith...religious and political...
"Through deception though shall wage war"
Just look at Obama - a peace prize and he just sent special forces to 75 countries...to combat creations of the US government.
Al Qaeda was created by the CIA, in their offices in Washington D.C., According to Richard Clark in his most recent book. It was created for Saudi Arabia to bankroll Osama bin Laden, through the House of Saud, "in the Afghan war against the Soviet Union during the 1980's and Riyadh and Washington together contributed an estimated $3.5 billion to the mujahideen."
richard clarks bio:
After all Jesus was the "prince of peace", so making war seems like something Christians ought to be opposed to I would think.
Personally though
I think religion should stay out of politics, other peoples' bedrooms, and
educational systems.
Democracy and religion don't work when enforced on other people
Learning to share is something a 5 year old must learn.
Dogma and responsible, inteligent thought are incompatible
It is people, not some celestial sky god who have to take responsibility for
all these inhumanities, we have the right to self determination and justifying actions against other people by the use of religion
is a cop out.

This is a perfect example of why the poster made this thread in the first place. This is ignorance; not everyone holds the same religous belief. I is absurd to judge everyone based upon one religion. I am more of budhist and budhism does not condemn homosexuality; at leasat the modern version.
I think this is just like racism; yes people have their right to their opinions but do they really have the right to bash others?Is hate really such a bigh right that a whole religion can use their beliefs to discriminate against one group? What about Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist church; is that really ok to hate that much?
