The fact that homosexuality is even mentioned in the Old Testament bears witness to how long homosexuality has been around. It is not going to go away regardless of punishment or restriction.
If your Gay and a Christian and your worried about all this sin stuff, just come over to the UK. You can even become a priest; just so long as you don't touch another mans "thingy". As far as the Church of England is concerned it's the act's not the love bit. There are openly gay clergy in the CofE...
But then you don't have to actually believe in god to be in the CofE just nice to people... Our new Arch Bishop would have been nailed to something rotten, if McCarthy had ever gotten hold of him. His politics are so far left of centre he would have scared Lenin...
Sounds Unitarian. :D
Never said they didn't or that christians were never persecuted.;)Quote:

Let's also remember the Roman Emporers, the Moors, the Islamic Empire, the Soviet Union, Cambodia, Iran and China. All resulted in tens of millions in Christian genocide.
Never known you to ever say anything you couldn't back up but - how do you know that? I would bet almost any amount of $$ that you have a stat somewhere or you would not have said it, but... Are child molesters lining up to take a survey?:rolleyes: :DQuote:

Also, of all the child molesters in the world, Catholic priests only make up a fraction of a percent.
The argument was that if they were not priests, more would have gone to jail. Further if this was say "procter and gamble" doing the ocver up you would be assured that there would have been a prosecuter nailing someone to the wall. The bishops (or whoever) who moved the priests around (and basically aided them in molesting others) were never held acountable. Having your name in the press does not make up for aiding molesters in raping and harming more children.
If this was a different, non major religious group they would have been nailed to the wall. That was what I was getting at. they got a pass because they were Christian. Any other group would have been persecuted. Any "persecution" that went on in the press was overwhelmingly deserved and honestly was no where near enough IMHO.
BTW - glad to see you posting again. :)
Are you trying to claim that homosexuality is as bad as these other things?Quote:

The Biblical one is:
Pure and undefiled religion before Father God is this:
to assist orphans and widows in their trouble, to keep oneself untainted by the (corrupt) world.
James 1:27
I wasn't looking for an answer, mostly I was providing comic relief.
However.....I guess that lets me out!:D
I think it is more important to debate why are Homosexuals the way they are. Is it truly a mater of genetics and can't be altered; or is it a social choice?
Bottom line, whether it is an irreversible behavioral disorder or a choice, acceptance isn't a reasonable solution. Choosing to abstain or pursue a relationship with the opposite sex is the only option. To expect or demand others to accept homosexual behavior as normal is not socially acceptable!
I am not religious, and wont try to use that card, hence I have stayed out of this thread this long. Morally we all have faults, but homosexuality is just strange. I don’t want to be a part of a society that so easily accepts this as normal!!!
Don't come to my house for thanksgiving dinner then!!!!
I didn't_know I was ever invited!Quote:

Well, you said you didn't want to be a part of society that accepted homosexuality, and my brother is gay, so you wouldn't want to come over, as we could all really care less in my household wether you are gay or not. It is all about character, not who you sleep with.
So(with tongue stuck out childishly) pthththththththt
Look Cletus, if you want to sleep with your mother or sister, I'm fine with that. But sleeping with your brother. Eeeeeew. :p :D
