I see that Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced that he is gay and thanks God for this gift. In a separate story, I see that he is widely quoted in the business press as anticipating an "iPad Christmas". I also notice a picture of a Christmas tree at Apple Headquarters in an insider newsletter.
Recall earlier this year that Brenden Eich was forced to resign as CEO of Mozilla because it was revealed that he had donated to a ballot initiative that opposed same-sex marriage. It was claimed that his donation showed that he deserved to lose his job because it was claimed that he opposed equal rights for gay couples.
By his actions, Tim Cook acknowledges that Jesus is important to his employees and to him personally. Otherwise, why would he cheer selling a lot of iPads for the holiday that celebrates His birth?
But if a person wants to actually study the words of Jesus, and shapes his thinking and actions based on those words, how should he react when Jesus clearly speaks to the topic of sexual morality? How should he react when he knows that God could not bless anyone with a gift of a behavior that He declares to be detestable? How should he react knowing that should he make his opinion public that he could suffer the same fate and public humiliation as Brenden Eich did?
If advocates of same sex marriage want to be consistent, they must now repudiate Jesus and anything associated with Him including Christmas. Are these people proud enough of being gay and or supporting equal rights for gays that they are willing to stop observing Christmas? Or will they just re-imagine Christmas to suit their agenda? What does that make them?
As a Christian, I now know enough about Christmas to not observe it for many reasons, but it still makes me mad that people like Tim Cook and the fawning business press are happy to let him claim that God gave him such a morally repugnant "gift" and then he goes on to embrace the very symbols in this society of the One who defines sexual morality.
I demand that gays and supporters of same-sex marriage repudiate Christmas just as vigorously as they repudiated Brenden Eich.
This guy must be REAL easy to shop for !
Homos and Christmas have a long standing relation...
“don we now our gay apparel, fa la la la la la la la la.”
There is already a way to prevent someone from getting AIDS. Don't share dirty needles while you are shooting up; and, don't put your penis into the hole where some one's waste products exit. Simple. Reagan had nothing to do with their lack of self control over their urges.
I agree. “Gay” is a wonderful word and I would love to see it reclaimed for its prior use: Happy, frivolous, whimsical. The “gay [18]90s”...
What does it profit a man...
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

A few years back, Microsoft had a gay exec who discussed on record his $100k sex dungeon in his lavish home. No kids so he decided to make use of the space for his own kicks.
Why, indeed, would the CEO of a manufacturing corporation cheer when large numbers of his corporation's products are sold?
try Samsung
OK, it's time for me to come out of the closet ... I admit, I have been faithful to conventional, normal, traditional usage for decades ...
But I finally tried something different, something out of the mainstream, something ... that just isn't normal. And I liked it. And I'll probably do it again, and again ...
I installed Ubuntu.
They don’t believe in God. Why would they say their learned behavior is a gift from God?

When Mandela died the Apple splash page of their website had a photo of him. Cook has stated if you deny anthropogenic global warming you need to divest your shares of apple. HIs coming out fits right in with his politics.
You are the one who did not fully identify whom you were speaking about, and I'm a DIRTBAG.
Ok...
ANTHROPOGENIC : of, relating to, or resulting from the influence of human beings on nature
Indeed. His obligations extend to his shareholders, employees, and customers. Why broadcast your sexuality?
Sorry I guess Mormons dont like Franklin Graham or Tony Perkins, I should have realized that.
God Bless
