If being gay isn't genetic at all (as some xtians will insist) why then do we find many animals that ingage in such an act? There is some evidence for a 'gay gene', however it's not conclussive at this point.
i think all things considered, stoping gays from kissing or getting married is among the least of our countries worries. We should do what we can to alleviate other dire issues like poverty, education, healtcare and other issues that affect a broader spectrum of the populace. gays are like 5% tops nationally.
what's wrong with that post? This guy hit it right on the head. Stop making homosexuality such an important issue. Getting out of Iraq, keeping social security, and ensuring high educational standards are what should be on everyone's minds and toungues, not who's doing who.
this website needs to stop censoring my posts. i don't even use profanity and i keep getting little messages saying i can't post what i want because it contains inappropriate words. My posts are well-reasoned arguments. This is annoying.

most republicans are pro-war. where have you been the last 8 years blacksho89? It's a fact that 3/4 of the armed forces are members of the republican party. If anyone is has half a brain, they won't join the military until bush is out of office. What a joke he's made out of the army.

If someone lives by the word of God it is not shoving anything down anyones throut, it is living by the truth, just because you don't see it as that way doesn't mean that Jesus4me is doing anything wrong...
who said it was wrong? i just said it's annoying and condescending the way jesus4me is throwing around bible verses towards someone who more than likely is well aware of what the bible says. It's like jesus4me is trying to be like jesus and fish for men when there is no fishing to be done. And i hate it when people try to put jesus in everything. Who are you to decide whether jesus is a part of something or not? Who are you to demand people to believe in your faith? Let people find God in their own way, don't throw verses from the largest outdated book in human history. And yes it is outdated, why do you think it can't answer the abortion question or gay marriage? People like jesus4me need to get the angel dust out of their eyes and adapt to the times. THAT is how to best embody Jesus and His teachings. He was the Great Adapter, and His parables are my proof.

I applaud the pastor. He finally got it. Separation of Church and State. 1 evangelical down, 99,999,999 to go.
Children, let's behave now.
One question i have is why do people hate gays so much and the concept of homosexual marriage? I personally think the idea of a man having sex with another man is 360 degrees of disgusting, but doesn't mean i have the right to tell them they can't get married or have that sex. Is it wrong? It's wrong to try and picture it, that's for sure. But who are we to control what two people do behind closed doors. QUIT SHOVING BIBLE CONCEPTS DOWN THE THROATS OF THOSE WHO DON'T THINK LIKE YOU. Guess what? they don't care what you think. at all. fyi. if they want to do those things, then let them. They'll be more room in heaven for those who don't do that stuff then, so why should you care what they do. It's not your life, is it? Then stop trying to tell them what to do and how to do it. Nobody forces you evangelicals to think differently. We merely suggest it.

jesus4me-

Dean77- Just because some one is a Creationist doesn't mean they have God's mind on all the issues. Romney was the best choice out of the remaining candidates but Christians were to prejudice and ignorant of the issues to vote for the best candidate.
Just goes to show that, truly, religion has become too influential in our secular government and politics. I despise any and all evangelical, pious cowards who hide behind God and pervert religion to further political agendas, and values voters are the worst lot because in this country where religious freedom is for ALL religion and creeds and a government that, under law of the First Amendment of the Constitution, are not allowed to endorse any one religion, no matter how heavenly Jesus Christ may be. Sorry to all the bible belt, but you've been breaking the law for too long and it's a shame the huckabee's and pat richardson's and ernest angley's haven't been arrested for misguiding true christians with their insane, somewhat hilarious practices. Huckabee straight up said "I want to put God in the Constitution." Well, I want to be a professional baseball player and win the world series every single year i play professionally, but it won't happen, just like a jesus freak like huckabee won't get elected. And shouldn't get elected. When has religion and politics ever mixed well? Does anyone recall the Crusades? The Spanish Inquisition? The Holocaust? I know i'm missing other prime examples. And don't tell me God influenced the Civil Rights movement and inspired George Bush to be the President of the United States because that's just insane. The Civil Rights movement was inspired by people sick of oppression and injustice and figured hey, now's as good a time as any. And George Bush needs to find religion because after i heard him say on an interview a couple years ago that he felt God called him to the presidency, i wanted to jump through the television, slap him on the face, and say "that's ten hail mary's for lying to the American People, again!"

Sure, there maybe an afterlife, then again there may not be one. I have no way of knowing.
This is just plain wrong. If God exists and He is concerned with His creation, then it would be reasonable for us to think that He has revealed Himself to us. Indeed, we find this to be true for He has revealed Himself in creation, in His Word, and in His Son Jesus Christ. Id be happy to share why I believe this to be so if you are interested."
in this day and age, if you can show me when, where, and how beyond a reasonable doubt, i'll vote republican the rest of my life.

Citsonga " I have seen the evil of some Christians too (Holocaust in Europe against the Jews and the killing of Muslim boys and men by Christian Serbs in the 1990's are two that come to mind), that doesn't mean all Christians are bad, just as the bad acts of some Muslims doesn't make all Muslims bad. How about stopping the Muslim bashing. Christian history has plenty of blood on its hands over the centuries too. Your post suggests that you are just another Christian hate mongerer that attacks those that disagree with your particular ideology."
Fyi, i agree with you completely, but to say the Nazi's were christians is kinda stretching it. Nazism was a cult embracing Aryan values of racial supremacy. They just confused it with meaning religious supremacy, too. Christians were persecuted by Nazi's too, it's just that takes a back seat to the Holocaust, and rightfully so.

overseer-
please, please, please, i beg you, stop posting. You're digging yourself a hole that even God won't be able to get you out of.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
