That’s creepy; what a freak.

One positive thing about working for a pervert (gay or straight) is that you can really do your own thing; they are so fixated elsewhere that it is like not having a boss.

I am of the Boomers generation, the charts saying I will die out is true.

But if the younger generations think they are moving towards a more ‘loving’, more ‘just’, and more ‘equal’ environment to come, they are welcome to it.

FROM THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE BOOK OF JUDGES:

6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. 7 The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.

8 Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. 9 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres[b] in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel. 11 Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and served the Baals. 12 They forsook the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt.

They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them. They aroused the Lord’s anger 13 because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths. 14 In his anger against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist. 15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.

__________________________

In the end, Israel ended with a civil war with the tribe of Benjamin almost wiped out.

This is how the book of Judges ended:

JUDGES CHAPTER 21:

15 The people grieved for Benjamin, because the Lord had made a gap in the tribes of Israel. 16 And the elders of the assembly said, “With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives for the men who are left? 17 The Benjamite survivors must have heirs,” they said, “so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out. 18 We can’t give them our daughters as wives, since we Israelites have taken this oath: ‘Cursed be anyone who gives a wife to a Benjamite.’ 19 But look, there is the annual festival of the Lord in Shiloh, which lies north of Bethel, east of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.”

20 So they instructed the Benjamites, saying, “Go and hide in the vineyards 21 and watch. When the young women of Shiloh come out to join in the dancing, rush from the vineyards and each of you seize one of them to be your wife. Then return to the land of Benjamin. 22 When their fathers or brothers complain to us, we will say to them, ‘Do us the favor of helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war. You will not be guilty of breaking your oath because you did not give your daughters to them.’”

23 So that is what the Benjamites did. While the young women were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to be his wife. Then they returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and settled in them.

24 At that time the Israelites left that place and went home to their tribes and clans, each to his own inheritance.

25 In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.

Wanna bet? The fools who scribbled this garbage are trying to equate the last 40 years with a much longer-term truth...

Isaiah 40:8 applies just as much today as it did in 2001, 1973, or 1873. Or 73 A.D.:

Unlike man, who claims to "evolve" on such wickedness as homosexual behaviour, 1 Samuel 15:29 applies:

We've got at least a generation yet to go before we can call for a tabulation of the results.

Great post on the Tytler chart. The problem is, they're dragging usd down the drain with them.

Or Malachi 3:6...

Not if you are a woman and your boss is a lesbian. I’ve heard first hand accounts of sexual harassment (and sexual affairs that turn sour and vindictive) in both hospitals (female doctors over female nurses) and the restaurant trade (female manager over female waitstaff).

Good point. I just hope that religious leaders come to the fore on this in terms of resistance. But I don’t see it happening.

Fads, like pet rocks, are momentary in the scheme of things. What does history have to say about gay marriage? History will have the last laugh.

Well, yes; in those cases, the victims ARE the fixation. Everyone else has a pretty easy job...

Given that the American Psychiatric Association classified homosexuality as a mental illness until 1973

The same year abortion was made legal. Coincidence?
