Thats very christian like it sounds .
Eh i never judged everyone only the ones worth judging like the preacher and the ones that wreak phsychological harm on our little ones.. I have judged myself first i am no angel but what these wolves in sheeps clothing are- is something else .As for the ones in power with the church, who i might add who are guilty of cheating peoples money that also hold profit over eternal life, then i say to you - WHAT DOES A PROFITABLE MAN GAIN WHEN HE LOSES HIS SOUL....
-NOTHING.. And i am not a christian by the way but remember that saying .edit on 24 4 2012 by denver22 because: (no reason given)

Always those who profess to be people of God who say these things. Always the people who want YOU to be like THEM. If it wasn't such a common occurence, I would have believed this was an ONION article.
During his sermon at the Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, Pastor Charles Worley said he figured out a way to “get rid of all the lesbians and queers.”
“Build a great big, large fence – 100 miles long – put all the lesbians in there, fly over and drop some food,” Worley said during his May 13 sermon. “Do the same thing with the queers and homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can’t get out … and in a few years they will die out.”
Nuts. Plain and simple. These people are dangerous and need to be stopped.
I am a man of God - also totally insane

*sigh* while homosexuality is a natural occurance in nature, children are not born gay. You'd have a better chance of blaming it on a chemical imbalance as seen in most amphibians who stop mating only to reproduce themselves.
But they are not born that way..it takes time for such a imbalance to build to the point of sexual choice. Since you are not sexually mature till yer early teens, there ya go.
Which when you think about it, explains more than just saying....your born that way.
As far as the church goes......maybe this dude needs to spend some quality time in a cell with thunder buns. Might change his mind....

Gay Men Have Brains Similar to womens:
The brains of gay men resemble those of straight women, according to research published today that provides more evidence of the role of biology in sexual orientation. Using brain-scanning equipment, researchers said they discovered similarities in the brain circuits that deal with language, perhaps explaining why homosexual men tend to outperform straight men on verbal skills tests -- as do heterosexual women. The area of the brain that processes emotions also looked much the same in gay men and straight women -- and both groups have higher rates of depressive disorders than heterosexual men, researchers said. The study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, however, found that the brain similarities were not as close in the case of gay women and straight men. Previous studies have found evidence that sexual orientation is influenced by biological factors. More than a decade ago, neurobiologist Simon LeVay reported that a key area of the hypothalamus, a brain structure linked to sexual behavior, was smaller in homosexual men than in heterosexual men. The latest study, led by Dr. Ivanka Savic of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, was significant in that it looked at areas of the brain that have nothing to do with sexual behavior, suggesting that there was a basic biological link between sexual orientation and a range of brain functions. "The question is, how far does it go?" said Dr. Eric Vilain, who studies human sexual development at UCLA and was not involved in the study. "In gay men, the brain is feminized. Is that limited to particular areas, or is the entire brain female-like?" Vilain said his hunch was that the entire brain was not feminized because "gay men have a number of masculine traits that are not present in women." For example, he said, men regardless of sexual orientation tend to be interested in casual sex and are stimulated by sexually suggestive images. Savic and her colleagues used magnetic resonance imaging to measure brain volumes of two groups, each divided evenly between men and women: 50 heterosexuals and 40 homosexuals. They knew going into the study that in men the right cerebral hemisphere is larger than the left, but in women the hemispheres are of equal size. The results showed that gay men had symmetrical brains like those of straight women, and homosexual women had slightly asymmetrical brains like those of heterosexual men. Symmetry is thought to favor verbal skills, the report said.
Striking similarities between the brains of gay men and straight women have been discovered by neuroscientists, offering fresh evidence that sexual orientation is hardwired into our neural circuitry. Scans reveal homosexual men and heterosexual women have symmetrical brains, with the right and left hemispheres almost exactly the same size. Conversely, lesbians and straight men have asymmetrical brains, with the right hemisphere significantly larger than the left. Scientists at the prestigious Stockholm Brain Institute in Sweden also found certain brain circuits linked to emotional responses were the same in gay men and straight women. The findings, published tomorrow in the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest the biological factors that influence sexual orientation - such as exposure to testosterone in the womb - may also shape the brain's anatomy. The study, led by the neurobiologist Ivanka Savic, builds on previous research that has identified differences in spatial and verbal abilities related to sex and sexual orientation. Tests have found gay men and straight women fare better at certain language tasks, while heterosexual men and lesbians tend to have better spatial awareness. Savic and her colleague Per Linström took MRI brain scans of 90 volunteers who were divided into four groups of similar ages according to whether they were male, female, heterosexual or homosexual. The scans showed the right side of the brain in heterosexual men was typically 2% larger than the left. Lesbians showed a similar asymmetry, with the right hand side of the brain 1% larger than the left. Scans on homosexual men and heterosexual women revealed both sides of the brain were the same size. The results could explain a University of London study earlier this year that found gay men and straight women share a poor sense of direction compared with heterosexual men, and were more likely to navigate using landmarks alone.

You see what you see and can't see beyond your void.
To some, Jesus is here, right now. In you, me, them, us, all, always.
The difference is, He knocked and you closed your heart hence your closed mind.

What dribble.
It's YOUR belief. Don't try to push it on others.

Does that make him gay if he is in me? He did hang about with a lot of men and never got married....edit on 23-5-2012 by geewizz because: Because I can
