‘Morality comes from God, not us.’

the trouble with that notion is that history has unequivocally shown that as humans and their norms change, so do their gods...

‘Returned from his freshman year in college’ is the obvious operative phrase but the writer breezes past it.

The ‘born that way’ crowd also breeze past explaining how such an innate trait takes decades to manifest itself and why intense or immersion type socialization - as is the case here - is always dismissed as a factor or even the root cause.

One question that used to be asked more frequently: ‘You say that homosexuality is normal and natural and on equal footing with heterosexuality. How long would the human race survive and thrive if 98% of the world’s population were gay?’

The response usually involves some fatuous reference to artificial insemination along with the usual snarky reference to ‘breeders.’

This is to say nothing of gay partners who talk incessantly about ‘having children/having a family’ without any acknowledgement of the realities involved.

.her response, ‘it doesn’t happen often enough to hurt anyone so go $%&# yourself...’

Interesting that your friend would ask you to commit an unnatural act upon yourself because of your pointing out the truth about the gay lifestyle.

People have moved into three groups. Some have changed their mind and embraced homosexuality. Some have adapted a live and let live attitude. Many still are against it but are silent, because speaking up can be costly.

Satan and his followers on the Left have been very successful in subverting the faith of our children by kicking God out of the public schools. A recent study said that educators have found that conservative parents change their minds about climate change when their children, particularly their daughters, share climate change propaganda with their parents at home.

Parents should be taking their children out of the pagan public schools. They are powerful enemy recruitment centers that teach children that man does not need God.

If it doesn’t happen that often then why are turning society upside down to accommodate them? There are probably more left handed people in America than homosexuals, but we haven’t changed everything to accommodate them.

Yes it does. Forced acceptance. The Nazis would have been proud.

Exactly. Wait another ten years and the most perverse behavior will appear normal and ‘ acceptable’.

You’re right. The topic hasn’t changed in people’s minds. The laws have changed the topic and forced an artificial change. Special laws like hate crimes, gender definition rights (privileges), and the increased sensitivity to anything that can be imagined toward this, has been well marketed by the media and many people’s agenda.

Fifty people can be shot to death in Chicago on a given day. But let one person be discriminated against by religious purposes for not making a cake and you tell me which gets page one and the other page 84? This is the way you are “programmed” into your life by these people.

The one True God does not change. Homosexuality produces miserably in statistics of drugs, diseases and suicide. The sun burns and the oceans wave and the God who made them recommends obeying His Word. Why settle for fake love? The real force behind creation and Redemption is real love. Jesus Christ is.

I’m not going to read the article but the only conclusion can be then if you don’t agree you are ostracized and demonized. In other words you are persecuted for your beliefs. The bible promises that persecution will come about. Jesus promises that persecution will come about for our beliefs. I think it was James who said do not be surprised when you fall into various fiery trials.

I have not changed one iota. I am aware of gaystopo tactics so I keep my feelings to myself and family as I don’t need the grief. When the SC came up with that privacy right about sodomy I knew we were through. Those nine pukes need rot in hell.

Yeah, they’ll claim it’s nature or nurture depending on whichever is more convenient to their argument at the moment.

And The Bible sehhhzzz....

For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Romans 1:26-27

All will have to answer to God eventually.

When it happens, it happens in a big way. No one studies history any more.
