A responsibility for what?

Just an FYI he already admitted earlier his sexual orientation was not a choice. He's just a horribly stubborn, arrogant, mean person. All there is to it. And yes that was against the T & C. But so was most of his posts and he didn't get penalized. So.... I will say it how I understand it.... he is an evil person to the bone. It's best we don't feed such evil our time and energy. It's better spent towards people with hearts intact.edit on 16-8-2012 by Lucid Lunacy because: (no reason given)
And now you understand why I haven't been posting much of anything lately. There's no point to it, at all. It was interesting at first, but now it's just insulting and annoying.
There's no sex in heaven.

Kelly Ripa comforts Anderson Cooper in Croatia amid cheating rumours
Yesterday morning Cooper posted a photo to his Twitter account of a fresh-faced Ripa snuggling up to him. The "Live!" host is a big fan of Cooper's and recently told Us Weekly she would like him as her new co-host.
"We have a connection like nobody else," she said. "I worship him!"
Why do Christians hate homosexuals (but not shellfish-eaters)?
There’s a recent post at The Atheist Ethicist, The Source of Hatred, where Alonzo explores the question of why theists hate homosexuals.
According to him, religion is not the cause. It’s the excuse. It’s what bigots use to rationalize their bigotry: “the Bible says it’s an abomination.”
But… Leviticus also says that eating shellfish is an abomination! Yet most Christians probably eat shrimp, and, anyway, there was never any persecution of shellfish-eaters. Why is that? Why is one sentence taken as “God’s law”, and another just as “ancient dietary laws”, when they’re both forbidden in the same book, and the condemnation for both (“abomination”) is the same?
The answer, of course, is that people are already bigots (though an important source of that bigotry may well be church sermons). Saying “It’s God’s command” instead of admitting to their prejudice makes them feel better.

The attack on Chik Fil-A is a proxy attack on Jesus and the church as well.. The anti-Christian (anti- Christ) spirit of thinking is that "Nobody can tell me I'm wrong.." so I Christ must be wrong... so the church is being attacked.

I have a relative that can't eat any shellfish. He has very severe allergic reactions, and could die from eating. We have to keep all shellfish away from him. Even slight contamination causes a biological reaction.

“We read the Golden Rule and judge it to be a brilliant distillation of many of our ethical impulses. And then we come across another of God’s teachings on morality: if a man discovers on his wedding night that his bride is not a virgin, he must stone her to death on her father’s doorstep (Deuteronomy 22:13-21).” ― Sam Harris
