Please, please hit them repeatedly with a shovel in the face for me next time you see them. While shouting "GAYNESS IS NOT CONTAGIOUS* in their ears ringing from the blows.

Thank you in advance. I know I can count on you. ;)

I almost think it would be more fun to convince them that it's really, literally contagious. We could tell them that homosexuality is caused by a virus which a coalition of scientists and feminists have created in an effort to make the whole population too busy being fabulous to bother opposing teaching evolution in schools, thus killing God, which is of course the ultimate goal of all scientists. (The feminists only got in on the act because they are all lesbians, and thus figured a gay virus would get them more action.)

Then all that's left is to tell them that the virus is airborne, sneeze on them, and say "Gee, I wonder if I'm coming down with something.....you sexy hunk of manhood, you!" and watch them flee in terror. Tee hee. :p

It's what I exist for. Here, have a cookie. I quit my job so I could bake them for you boys. :)
Awww, thank you very much!

*munches on home baked cookie happily*


I can also taste all the uncondition love you poured into it for me. It feels as if I could behave like a dirty, stupid, foul-mannered jerk towards you and you would simply shake your head with a knowing smile in my direction, absolving me of everything by just saying "boys will be boys". :D

WASHINGTON - A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental disorder, decades after mental health experts abandoned that position.

Ummmm, I didn't read the whole thread, but does this mean that homosexual people might start claiming for disability benefits?

Bits and bytes.....whole new ball game. :p

For me, it was when a woman bought me a drink. She must have slipped Teh Gay into that vodka martini, because I don't know how else I could possibly have come down with such a horrible case of faggotry.

There was this girl who tricked me. She pretended to be the guy I liked and then slipped me Teh Gay.

(Ok, so this story is *half* true, hehe, but I was as drunk as I've ever been at the time, and I still knew she wasn't a guy - I think - I actually don't remember =(

Oooooh.

An idea occurs. If homosexuality is classified as a disorder or disease, gay people should immediately take advantage of employment protection legislation, workers comp, Medicaid and the works.

Okay, just for clarification from all the "fundies" here, if you can prove to me where it says in black and white (or black and yellow in the case of the bible) that being homo is a sin, I will completely respect your point of view.

However, because I have reason to doubt that being homo is a sin which has been explicitly stated in the bible, I request that you kindly discontinue citing the bible as your manual for how you treat others. People that are homosexual are still people, and unless they grow a tail, loose 1 1/2 arms, and are no longer able to reason, they are still human.

You are taught to respect your fellow man, because, in your belief, no matter how poor, old, straight, fucked up, or evil they are, you will still have to face judgement day, and that is inescapable, no? So why belittle your fellow man in the little time you have on earth to begin with. Nobody gets out of life until death, you cannot cheat in the overall game of life, your on your path, and death is the only way off the board, so be kind to your fellow man, and respect him, although he may have different views from you.

Meet with one gay couple, and ask questions about thier life, and if you think you have it hard, or you cant get far in life, think about these people. Are they not all, according to you, "God's children", and does the saying "God loves everyone" (which you engrain in your children from a young age) not apply to gays? What about black people, mexicans, jews, hindus, the poor, the rich, the old, the young, the healthy, the weak? Are some of those exceptions also?

So in other words, don't belittle your fellow man because of your beliefs, he or she has just the same rights as you. God does not hate, and neither should you. You don't have to participate in rallies, or wear rainbow clothes everyday, but please respect (or at least tolerate) these people. They try to struggle through life just like you, and you hurting them in both physical and emotional ways does not help.

Oh, just as an after thought, I wish gayness was a disease, because then we could infect more people with it.

PS: Guess what, I'm straight and Athiest!

Just remember you asked where it is in the Bible, I'll give it to you.

Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13

1 Corinthians 6:9

1 Timothy 1:10

Its in Romans as well. I won't bother addressing any of your other points, it would take too long to let you know the truth rather than what you perceive. Chow.

He may be differentiating between being homosexual, and the actual act of sodomy...

He may be doing that. At least it will get him to look in the Bible. If he is saying being homosexual it would fit in with the rest of his premises as he is quite off the mark when it comes to what Christians believe about all of this.

*shrug* I don't think an inhabitant of a country whose coinage says 'God Met Ons' ( God be with us ) can repudiate Christianity without giving up touching those darned coins!

Christians have differing views on the topic of homosexuality.
Compare the views of Archbishop Rowan Williams with those of his predecessor Archbishop George Carey.
I don't recall what Runcie said about it.

Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mith mankind as with womenkind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a women, both of them have commited an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; thier blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus is in the Old Testament, which for the most part describes punisment and such. If you base your ideals off of the Old Testament, then you will sink your boat pretty quickly in this society, because the New Testament, the one which almost everyone preaches, is one of love and compassion (of course, there would be exceptions).

From my bible, the preface to Leviticus:
Author: Moses
Date: 1420 or 1220 BV
Content: ...It sets down regulations that were to govern the life of Israel in general and specifically to give regulations concerning sacrifice and worship...
Theme: The central theme of this book is that God has provided a way for atonement to be made by offering the sacrificial blood...

I'm sure you'll agree with me that anyone who still believes in sacrificial blood would be a bit off thier rocker, and that this book maybe goes slightly overboard in the way it calls for the treatment of sodomites etc. Besides, thats really all it does talk about. Sodomites.

1 Corinthians 6:9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not decieved: neither fornicators, not idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, not abuseres of themselves with mankind.

Homo's aren't necessarily effeminate, nor adulterers. Thats a long winding stereotype that I'm not getting into.

1 Timothy 1:10
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing contrary to sound doctrine; (1:11)

This applies to whores, slave traders, liars, etc. But nowhere does it apply to homosexuals. Besides, its implying that all of mankind will defile anything else, and I don't believe that even you think that thats true.

" But the youth, looking upon him,
loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him.
And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth,
for he was rich. And after six days Jesustold him what to do
and in the evening the youth cameto him,
wearing a linen cloth over his naked body.
And he remained with him that night,
for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God."
[Secret Gospel of Mark]

mmm.... looks like even Jesus may have had to discharge his misteries once in a while with a man, since doing it with Mary might end up with an unwanted pregnancy...

I think I'll exercise my free judgment, thanks.

Oh, and before I turn this thread back over to its original intent, dutch Euros don't have "God met ons" written on it. Haven't seen a guilder in a while, so that may not be relevant...

Besides, money makes the world go round, so giving up money would like be signing up in the unemployment line before your unemployed... stupid. I have to use the coins, but I think its rather pointless to spread your dislike of a religion, or of all religions, for that matter, to currency.

Again, I may be missing the point of your posts, but there are too many things floating around in my head at the moment.

I guess, perhaps, that you have to believe strongly in your own infallibility to hold such radical beliefs. Otherwise, you might have to challenge them - and find that you might just be wrong. And, if you are infallible, then everyone who's anyone *must* agree with you.
