Did you hear the original pastors comments? He can't even say the word against properly, he says "AGIN",
"BIBLE AGINNIT, GOD AGINNIT, IM AGINNIT, AND IF YOU GOT ANY SENSE YOU AGGINIT"

Why does every Christian think they are the ones that are practicing "real Christianity"? It's so childish. Just admit all of you are more than likely wrong.

Exactly!
This is the root of the problem. Pure ignorance. Their false belief that homosexuals are selecting their gayness rather than simply embracing what they are, is the root of the problem.
How can we even begin to address an issue or a social problem when one side of the argument doesn't even understand the reality of the situation?

LOL I keep hearing comments like this. Her views don't represent Christian values. The Christian that killed a doctor from an abortion clinic wasn't representing christian values. Pedophile priests don't represent Christian values. The lunatics of the Westboro Baptist Church don't represent Christian values. Well, are there ANY Christians representing Christian values????edit on 5/29/2012 by jiggerj because: (no reason given)

You wouldn't have if she hadn't agreed, and THAT is where the issue lies. If two adults of the same gender AGREE, then it is between them, not between them and YOU.
I've decided that I'm against you marrying, so you are no longer married. Go ahead and move out of the house that you and your wife live in and just tear up your marriage certificate and throw the rings in the trash. You're not married anymore.
what? I don't get to make that decision? hmmmm, yet you are trying to make the decision for two other people, what's the difference?

Is it prejudice to hate the southern accent? It just makes the woman in the clip sound even more stupid.
I have lived in the south and in the northeast. People in the northeast are far "dumber" than anyone I've seen in the south. So yes, it is prejudice to hate the southern accent. ....of course the woman in the clip IS an idiot, but that's beside the point.
Ah beg yor pardin, sar. I do hail from the Nor'east an' I am agin the Kennedy accent as much as the suthin accent. I, sar, am an equal accent disliker. Now Um gonna go pahk the car and warsh some dishes.
Is the weather forcast calling for it to be "making down" later this evening?
shew, I sure don't miss their vernacular!!
Making down? Never heard of it. That's from up here?

Seems like poor journalism to me. This woman is obviously incapable of arguing the pastor's position, so why not go to the pastor himself? He would probably have the best chance of defending his statement. However, it does make the pastor seem ignorant by proxy, so maybe that's what anderson cooper was aiming for. Distasteful.
I'm a Christian from the deep south, and I'm far from neanderthal. In fact, ignorant people are going to be ignorant, regardless of religion. So, that was a cheap shot, mr.
I'm a Christian from the south and I am supportive of Gay Rights, the right for them to marry and am far from a Neantderthal. It's not Christians from the south that are the problem, it's the fundamentalist evangelical cultist Christians from every part of the country that is the problem.
As you state that you are a Christian, please provide your definition of a "fundamental evangelical Christian"?
I'll tell you mine - fundamentals of Christ are the laws, precepts and rules of our Holy scripture. An evangelical is one who spreads the good news of the gospel.
So please tell me brethren, why are you against Christ?

How very disingenuous of you. The acts of having sex and marrying your wife are done out of choice but that's not what's being discussed here as well you know. Your sexual attraction to females isn't a choice, and neither is a homosexual's attraction to other men. But you knew that, didn't you?

Now you're just being intentionally obtuse. You didn't choose your attraction to the opposite sex, and homosexuals don't choose their attraction to the same sex. You know exactly what I'm saying so give the dumb act a rest.

sorry what, you appear to be arguing with someone else- I never once said I want to interefere in the sex lives of individuals, what is this nonsense?
I am making the point that people are not robots, we make choices, I choose to have sex with my wife and thankfully she reciprocates

this is weird, seriously, are you responding to someone else?

Yeah but the whole thing is I don't claim to be right or spreading Gods word, I admit that I could possibly be wrong, religious people usually don't.
