We're just so lucky to have you to explain God's will for us.
lain:Me too! One of our favorite treats when my husband was alive, were bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich's on really good bread with butter and Hellman's mayonnaise.

I am not religious, and I strongly believe in the value of maintaining equal rights for all. Yet because I am not homosexual, I become uncomfortable around displays of homosexual affection. But I understand that this is my own 'issue' to the degree that it is an issue, for me. And it's not the homosexual's fault, nor their responsibility to closet themselves to make me feel more comfortable with them.
When Bybee brought up the idea of social courtesy, while someone else had brought up the accusation of self-righteousness, I realized how these two ideas become intertwined. I didn't mean to accuse Bybee, specifically, because most heterosexuals are likely somewhat uncomfortable with displays of homosexual affection. But that doesn't justify expecting homosexuals to hide their feelings from us just because we're uncomfortable with them. And it certainly does not justify those who proclaim their homophobia as "righteousness" just because they dress it up with religion.
These are things that go on here on TOL all the time, and in general society, too. So I really felt it was important for us all to see it more clearly and understand it better. Including myself. Unless "courtesy" goes both ways, and it reflects a tolerance for things we may not be personally comfortable with, it just becomes an unfair expectation of others.
As a member of old Southern culture I'm uncomfortable with most public displays of romantic affection. Beyond a tame hug or the introductory nonsense I'd rather not see it. Feels a bit like someone has brought me into a privacy without consent.

I think we should deal with our own emotions (like disgust), ourselves, and stop blaming them of other people and what they do with each other. After all, you said yourself that it's really none of your business. So you have no reason to be feeling anything about it. And the fact that you do is your own fault, and is your own problem to either wallow in, or correct.
Secondly, I think that when you focus on what you think God likes or dislikes in others, you are in effect "playing God". Which is not something ANY human has any business even trying to do. Because we are clearly not equipped for it, and because, throughout history, every time we try it we become insane, evil monsters. Please let God decide how He feels about the lives and behaviors of others, and let's just mind our own spiritual welfare. We will all be better off that way, I am certain. :chuckle:

I wouldn't, but it's like greatness, sometimes you have it thrust in front of you. :shocked: Except it's not so great and often looks like an impromptu oral surgery coupled with the sort of groping you usually have to go to an airport to experience (either).Well then don't look.

They have rich fantasy lives. Coworkers having sex in front of them, Obama enacting Sharia law, FEMA death camps and talking donkeys.

I live near the beach. Lots of fit, tan, half clad people near watering holes. It's not for the squeamish.
Black helicopters whisking away their guns, homos under every bed, death panels for grandma, and people having sex in their back yard.
I mean they're already concerned about every teenager in America having sex. Did these people not go to an actual high school?:chuckle:

Shut up, ok loser. We all know you can't think.
You hop around from one thread to another trying so hard to get someone to pay attention to you, but you're just a troll and you'll always be a troll. :troll:
