“Well, they’re telling us the economy is doing great, but a lot of people at the bottom of the heap don’t think so…”

Hmmmmm, got a recommendation for ya, Anonymous…stop complaining, get busy, and get off the bottom….or is it simply easier and more comfortable where you are? The choice is yours.

2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
2:2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
2:3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
2:4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Sitting in judgement of others lifestyle choices or needs makes you a sinner (if you believe that they are) also for you carry the same sin as they do (should you believe them to be sinners).

Christianity can be a cruel mistress in the hands of those that read and practice only a portion of it.

War = Good = patriotic

Homo = Death = (gods will)

Sorry I’m not Lawyer

I’m pretty sure that marriage does not reach back 5000 years and most “civilized societies” didn’t have an issue with homosexuality. Rome would be the best example.

But all we get from the far Left is “smears.” Now, apparently, anyone who subscribes to the considered wisdom of virtually every civilized society of the last 5000 years on marriage and homosexuality is “far right.”

Y’all really are nihilists, aren’t you?

And Krutis, get a little reality check. More people have died from the homosexual lifestyle and the diseases it spreads than from “homophobia,” even as you apparently inaccurately define it. Of course, “homophobia” is accurately defined as “fear of” homosexuals, and it is yet another smear tactic by the far Left to project upon those who reject the radical homosexual agenda the rather unappealing characteristic of “fear.” It’s a little like the far Left’s whining about being called “unpatriotic.” Of course, no one (or hardly anyone) ever calls a far Left anti-war nut “unpatriotic.” They’re just called “unwise,” “inconsistent,” “head-in-the-sand,” and/or “unrealistic.” But it’s so much easier to assume the posture of a victim if one pretends to have been called “unpatriotic.” If they actually addressed the criticisms leveled against them, they might have to explain their unwise, inconsistent, head-in-the-sand, unrealistic policy pronouncements. And, of course, that is something to be avoided at all costs.

Not so there are a number of cases in which gays have been beaten to death just for being gay

As for gay-straight alliances in high school, these are voluntary clubs/groups. No one forces anyone to join. It is not part of any curriculum. If this can help alleviate the bullying of students and the VERY high suicide rate of gay teenagers, then they should not only be allowed, but encouraged.

Ok, where did Leviticus come in since I quoted Paul’s letter to the Romans??? If you check the Holy Bible, you will find it in the New Testament, not the Old.

ManexicoResident - I will respect that you are not saved and pray that in your research, you will find the truth in God’s Holy word (and that is the last time I will do a TRUE preaching on here as this really is not the place, but is the place to discuss religion and whatever comes of that discussion is between the posters and his/her God).

I agree with Jim Young and in no way did I imply that Barker is homosexual, though nothing says that homosexual’s cannot marry those of the opposite sex (again, not implying). All I said was “hand check”.

And park’d - Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are no longer in office, so not quite sure where #3 came from. Our economy is doing great, the war in Iraq IS doing well - the ONLY fault I can find with W is on immigration.

And to 362.87kg Homininae - NO ONE ever died of homophobia!!!

As long as they don’t hit on me then I could care less. In fact the gay guys that I have known in my life have all been great people. Obviously I wouldn’t want my son to grow up to be gay, but I would still love him either way.

There are just too many other important issues to worry about these days:

1. illegal immigration
2. Iraq war
3. worst.president.EVER.

I did like the “damnable liar”

Scarlett O’Hara would be proud

But frankly James I don’t give a dam

I’ll respond a little more directly: Seriously, Donkey Breath must be a moron if he believes that it’s a “smear tactic” to identify someone as an advocate for the radical homosexual agenda. If identifying someone’s agenda to mainstream perverse behavior is a “smear,” then perhaps it is a “perverse” political position to hold.

If, on the other hand, you are suggesting that I am calling or have called Barker a homosexual (I do not speak for Greg or JL), then you, sir, are a damnable liar. I don’t know enough about Barker to speak to the issue one way or the other (I believe that I have heard that he is married), and unlike many, I try very hard not to pontificate with certitude about things about which I am ignorant.

Perhaps you should read what I have said before you engage in your “smear tactic” (whether it is your favorite or not, I am not in a position to comment).

Might want to keep this one in mind
