SOD's a rotten vulgar liar and a pig. And TH dances circles around him with regularity.

Glorifying empowering and enabling a waste of time and flesh like SOD is a disservice and I'll watch Town Heretic dispatch the lousy little loon any day of the week.

I am totally bewildered by homosexuality. It is utterly foreign to me.As a nurse I know that science tells us that approximately 9 to 15 per cent of people are born with a homosexual orientation. It may be a chemical or hormonal imbalance. I don't know.
I do not presume to judge another person. That rests in the hand of God. I will be kind and respectful of any person with whom I come into contact. I would hope that they would have the decency to keep their sexual mores to themselves. It is in this stance that I am right.

This reply from an honest and respresentative woman of American Christianity, reveals the inroads and horrors of the homosexual agenda within our societal minds, hearts, and wills.

Bybee admits to being moral and not understanding of this perversion, but she has been brainwashed to believe she must be tolerant of what she cannot explain . . . despite her natural moral inclinations.

Her only hope, is that those who are immoral, will not flaunt their wickedness and ugliness in her face, so that she can continue to be "tolerant" and non-judgmental.

But they will not do so.

Wicked and perverted human beings will only grow more and more invasive and in our face, due to Christian silence and hopes to avoid confronting their evil acts.

I am not a reconstructionist nor a domionist, but I am a moralist, and I refuse to condone Sodom and Gomorrah.

Homosexuals act the way they do because they are reprobates and discarded from God's favor. Christians must accept this judgment from God upon them, and oppose any government actions to protect them.

If we do not, they will corrupt and taint our children and grandchildren, to the point that our offspring will suffer the same judgments from God.

It is the sin of omission for Christians to not speak up and oppose moral perversion of every sort. For if the salt of this earth loses its savor, all the meat of mankind will rot.

1. Any man who says my allegiance is to anything before God is either mistaken at best or a libeling liar at worst.
How do you know you're not the one who is mistaken?

2. Anyone who believes that the Klan shouldn't be allowed to march and be defended when they do so is a day away from losing his own freedom of expression.
If they continue to do the things they have been known to do to people of color [beating, lynching, dragging, and otherwise killing] then they have forfeit their right to march.

How do I know Christ called me from disbelief? If a man doesn't know his own heart then there's nothing certain in this life.

If they continue to do the things they have been known to do to people of color [beating, lynching, dragging, and otherwise killing] then they have forfeit their right to march.
Because they'll be in jail for violating the law and, here's an important distinction, violating the rights of others.

According to the Centers for Disease Control: "Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2% of the US population,..."

But since we have the CDC information at hand, let's see how that sentence finishes:

"...yet are the population most severely affected by HIV and are the only risk group in which new HIV infections have been increasing steadily since the early 1990s. In 2006, MSM accounted for more than half (53%) of all new HIV infections in the United States, and MSM with a history of injection drug use (MSM-IDU) accounted for an additional 4% of new infections. At the end of 2006, more than half (53%) of all people living with HIV in the United States were MSM or MSM-IDU. Since the beginning of the US epidemic, MSM have consistently represented the largest percentage of persons diagnosed with AIDS and persons with an AIDS diagnosis who have died."

Have you looked on the other side of the stats to see the rise in HIV/AIDS among heterosexual people? It is interesting.

There is no "gay gene". As with other sexual sins, it's a behavior that can be changed and has been proven through organizations like Exodus International and PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays). There are many factors that are influential when it comes to someone choosing homosexual behavior, but it isn't genetic.

No simple, single cause for sexual orientation has been conclusively demonstrated, but research suggests that it is by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences, with biological factors involving a complex interplay of genetic factors and the early uterine environment. Biological factors which may be related to the development of a heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual or asexual orientation include genes, prenatal hormones, and brain structure. So, sexual orientation is not simply a lifestyle choice, as you suggest.

Yet Scripture tells us to judge righteously.

Yes, and make sure that you are qualified to judge before you take that mantle upon yourself. An unqualified judge runs the risk of not only leading others astray, but also of becoming a sanctimonious joke among his peers.

Respect God by showing people the path to eternal life. (You might hurt some feelings along the way and even not be liked, be prepared for it).

When it comes to the path to eternal life, we should walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Mayhap, by my example, someone else may walk in mine. Perhaps it may be presumptuous of me to do a show-and-tell at this point, however, since God made this path for each of us according to our needs. Since the path to eternal life is not a one-size-fits-all, I will walk my own path and leave the teaching to God.

What I don't get is why bybee condemns Christians for pornography and excuses homosexual activity.

The one thing that I have heard about homosexuality is that it is a type of blasphemy because it disregards the command to repopulate the earth.

Um, would that equate to blasphemy for a married couple who decide against having children as well then?

It's OK to be gay

although I think it's funny to argue homosexuality is a choice. That implies they could willingly choose to have sex with somebody of the same gender, whereas I would not because I am not gay. Do you see my point?

I do but good luck with it as some seem insistent that you can choose to be attracted to that which you simply aren't, despite any protestations you offer to the contrary unfortunately....

What about the commands of Jesus: John 7:24?

Do you have a link or something to prove what you say. What research?
