I know that Paul said, "...to be absent from flesh is to be in the presence of the Lord.", but at what point do people like Jesse Bering realize that they've made a horrible, horrible mistake...?
America has no need for the new order of “Homosocialism”.
Pretty much. That, or heterodhimmi. They tolerate hets, since hets breed brats that gays can skin in a restroom someplace to make more gays. Not much use for them otherwise, but they don't ritually kill them. Yet.
Actually, the author's real problem is with Genesis 20, which does have an opinion about homosexuality, one from which you can still feel the heat rising 3000 years later.
Chill, brother, and just wait for the Norks or the Chinese to do it for you. Hope you live at least 200 miles away.
I have often said that PLAYBOY started this entire Slide into HELL for this country.
Yeah right..both got burned..reminds me of this classic from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"..

3fingas, i think your words are words to live by. LIVE AND LET LIVE. and also, your principle of ‘not forcing your lifestyles on everyone else’ is a good way of rephrasing this.
here’s the thing: dan cathy donates MILLIONS of dollars to organizations that do just that: they work actively to FORCE THEIR LIFESTYLES on gays and lesbians. it’s fundamentally unamerican. not just forcing their lifestyles: they work in some cases to support, literally, EXTERMINATING gays and lesbians. see, for example,
http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/chick-fil-a-profits-are-supporting-ugandas-kill-the-gays-bill/politics/2012/08/01/45430
that’s not just unamerican: it’s inhuman.
think about how this great nation was founded: the pilgrims were facing similar oppression in england, and had to sail across an ocean to get away from that kind of persecution. that was 1620; by 2012 we should surely have internalized the lessons of LIBERTY to where we can let other people have the same rights we do. including marrying the people they love. including — not getting exterminated.
it’s just the right thing to do. as you said: LIVE AND LET LIVE. your principles have, actually, helped me understand why so many gays and lesbians are upset over dan cathy’s very public pronouncement about his beliefs, and — more urgently — about his political activism against their physical and emotional welfare.
I see you have just recently created your account and I suppose you probably won’t be around here very long.
Anyhow, don’t take my post out of content and pretend that I agree with you. I don’t. Marriage is defined as a union between and a man and woman. This social institution is biologically natural and ultimately the foundation upon which everything else is built. Same sex coupling is both unnatural and, in my opinion, unhealthy for the persons involved and for society at large. Your smear of Chick-Fil-A is gratuitous and dishonest. Chick-Fil-A is business founded on Christian principles. You and other homosexual activists are threatened by that. If you don’t like the values that Dan Cathy supports, don’t patronize that business. Stop spreading lies and stop trying to impose your beliefs on us.

They demand APPROVAL and call it tolerance.
