No “group” (I use “ “ because often people change on their own, it’s not a a solid group like those of like ethnicity, or a definible group like a group of like minded religious believers.) of people solely classified by a particular vice, fetish, deviance, or mental illness should have particular respect solely because of that infirmity or deviance.

Please don't take my words out of contexts!

It serves no purpose to publicly scorn, did you ever hear of-

A Guilty Conscience Needs No Accuser!

We should be compassionate and offer them hope that they can change. Should society offer “respect” to any other group of people with fetishes, specific sexual deviant practices, etc?

Is there some law you can’t be civil towards another human being?

What is your concept of being compassionate?

Being contenious towards another because they are imperfect?

Did not Jesus say he who is with out sin cast the first stone?

[little jeremiah]

He meant actually throwing stones, not condemning behaviors which ought to be condemned. People misuse that incident and quote constantly.

I’m not trying to take your words out of context; just trying to figure out what you were saying and respond accordingly. Maybe be clearer in what your message is.

Are you saying that the homosexual agenda should not be condemned?

I’m not talking at all about civility, I’m talking about laws mandating that homosexuals should have special rights and/or protections because they’re homosexuals. It is unconstitutional and totalitarian to force citizens to hire, rent to or otherwise associate with homosexuals.

Just as it would be to force citizens to hire, rent to etc alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, and other wrong doers.

Ever heard of “freedom of association”?

Boy, that line and others was used ad nauseum during the Clinton impeachment...It wasn't true then, and it's not true now. Although it does fool those ignorant of the Word.

BTW, I've been ignorant for years, on many issues.

Let me point out...IF this were the case, ..( The scripture you quoted..) we could never, ever, ever tell another that they were guilty of sin..because we all are.

Specifically, I believe Jesus was speaking to those Pharisee's and others there, that were condemning that woman. He was God in the flesh for crying out loud....He knew exactly whom was advocating the woman's stoning. And he was pointing out SIN is SIN...lying, stealing, adultery, murder, all just sin in HIS eyes.

FWIW-
