A Megachurch's Leader Says Microsoft Is No Match

According to Kinsey, homosexuals may represent around 10% of the population but this is not (no pun intended) a hard and fast number.

Kinsey made up his numbers to justify his masochistic perversions, like tying a rope around his testicles, flipping the rope over a pipe, and hoisting his body into the air. This behavior is in keeping with the personality of a researcher of "child orgasms."

Kinsey surveyed a prison population (and pedophiles) to skew the numbers. His research is wholly unreliable.

Bump

[Aquinasfan]

Kinsey was a fake. A charlatan. A fraud.

You missed "pervert."

Kinsey surveyed a prison population (and pedophiles) to skew the numbers. His research is wholly unreliable.

While in retrospect this might be true, I think you may be making the classic mistake of not viewing his work within the context of his time frame.

Homosexuality circa 1948 was a totally forbidden topic, and there would have been no one else other than a prison population on which to conduct his research.

Microsoft, which had long enjoyed a reputation as one of the nation's most gay-friendly companies.

Microsoft - the choice of Conservatives everywhere.....

There is no time frame wherein homosexuality will not be a perversion. Is the subject worthy of scientific research? Yes. Pseudo-scientific propaganda? No.

[Salvey]

homosexuals make up approximately 3%

Probably closer to 1-2%.

Microsoft - the choice of Conservatives everywhere

If my web stats are any indication, Microsoft is the choice of about 90% of EVERYONE, with other browsers or operating systems comprising the balance.

That is certainly not true. Among the classic Greeks, women were for bearing childeren...and men were for fun and companionship.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Many African-American ministers and conservative Christians share Dr. Hutcherson's opposition to same-sex marriage, which he calls "the greatest danger to America.

They share this view as GOD has said it is "unnatural" behavior and sin.

[6SJ7]

Libs have reason to fear someone like Dr. Hutcherson. If the libs loose their exclusive 'ownership' of the black vote; they're sunk. Hutcherson speaks to the vast majority of blacks who
1. don't appreciate having their historic fight for equal rights used in comparison with homosexuality and
2. hold Christian beliefs about right and wrong

said Mark Murray, a (Microsoft)company spokesman. "We're proud of our antidiscrimination policies and benefits for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees, and we are committed to diversity at every level of our company."

Note to Conservative Christian employees of big companies: Do you have an exit strategy in place should your company begin heading down this path?

[Aquinasfan]

That is certainly not true. Among the classic Greeks, women were for bearing childeren...and men were for fun and companionship.

In Nazi Germany genocide was a culturally accepted practice. Your point?

The purpose of the human reproductive system is... drumroll please... reproduction. Sexual intercourse is ordered toward reproduction and the unity of the couple. Children are best raised by their united, natural parents. So sexual intercourse is ordered to these two natural ends. Any sexual act not ordered to these ends is unnatural and intrinsically disordered and evil, and always will be.

[Drawsing]

I resent your implication that every Christian should leave an un-Godly company. I can continue to work for a pagan entity just like Ezra and Nehemiah worked for pagan kings!

[anniegetyourgun]

Methinks you are the one in denial...but feel free to believe the lie.

[Dante3]

Kinsey's research was not scientific. His methodology was greatly flawed. His sampling was not random, and he had an agenda he wanted to promote. This has been known for decades.

[Aquinasfan]

I can continue to work for a pagan entity just like Ezra and Nehemiah worked for pagan kings!

As long as they don't ask you to do anything intrinsically evil. And there are often many other circumstances to consider as well.

[dennisw]

That should be Hutch on the left

[wideawake]

Among the classic Greeks, women were for bearing childeren...and men were for fun and companionship.

You are incorrect on both counts.

(1) Greeks cherished their wives and held them to be far more than vehicles for heirs. Read Antigone and then slander the Greeks like this again.

(2) Pederasty was viewed by Greeks as being a recent and decadent innovation practiced by the idle rich in wealthy cities like Athens and Corinth - not as a typical or widespread phenomenon of their culture.

[Skooz]

Many of his victims were infants and Kinsey in that chapter himself gives pretty graphic descriptions of their response to what he calls sexual stimulation. If you read those words, what he's talking about is kids who are screaming. Kids are protesting in every way they can the fact that their bodies or their persons are being violated." - James Jones, pro-Kinsey biographer.

Without meaning to open up old wounds, this sounds suspiciously like Terry Schiavo's family and supporters who insisted that she was sensate and in communication with them.

Of course, the fact that Kinsey violated children, used flawed methodology, and has been utterly repudiated has nothing whatsoever to do with "Terry Schiavo's family and supporters."
