Oh God, just when I thought we could breathe easier because God's best friend FReeper "Bob Celeste",another Scripture quoting homophobe, seemed to finally be gone from this forum, here comes YOU with your holier-than-thou righteous Islamic form of "Christianity", and you expect everyone to salute it. Take a hike.

Is it the scripture quoting part that bothers you? He did quote the Apostle Paul accurately. And it pretty much says what he quotes it for (except that Paul does say Christians should associate with immoral unbelievers. But immoral believers, as he notes, should be excluded from fellowship).

The article does not contain enough info to reach a conclusion. For one, the article also does not tell us whether she professed to be a believer or a non-believer. For two, even if she was an unbeliever, the girl was obviously spouting off at school about something (the article does not tell us what). If she was proselytizing the homosexual lifestyle, I think it is well within proper Christian judgment to regard the influence on other kids as important and negative enough to exclude her from the school--whether you like it or not, scripture is really clear about homosexual acts and where they stand in the pantheon of sins and scripture is the only basis for Christianity.

But I am just speculating here because the article does not say what she was spouting off about.

Yes, what raised my hackles immediately was that the poster seemed to be gleefully pouncing upon this story
and using it to support his agenda, without probably even CARING what the all-important real life details were.
Agreed, proselytizing a homosexual lifestyle should not be tolerated ANYWHERE , let alone a Christian school. My extreme reaction was based on the fact that no facts other than the skeletal ones seemed to be NEEDED. The worst was ASSUMED, and that always makes it easier to post a story about which everyone is invited to "think the worst". I doubt anyone has any interest in really finding out the real details behind this, but now that I think of it, I may just do that just to make my point even better. If I turn out to be wrong, I will admit it. Those that found fault with my reaction might also read "non sequitir" 's
replies-----he was a bit calmer than I was.
