Where do I start with you? Let's try your post. Then it will be me who decides whether you are worthy of talking to.

I sincerely doubt that any school in this country is teaching children homosexuality.

Then you obviously missed the story on the "fisting" class that was had at a Boston area school last year. In that same class, taped by a participant, the "gay" discussion leaders, openly advocated homosexuality. If that is not teaching, then I do not know what is. This one class is not the only example.

I would guess that what is being taught is TOLERANCE,

Try an follow this. TOLERANCE of this gay whatever you want to call it, is itself a value judgment. Certain religions, Catholicism, for example, teach NOT to Tolerate it. Islam does as well, if I am not mistaken. SO on the one hand, you have a clear religious teaching that is not silent, but outright says NOT TO TOLERATE. Now, you ahve teachers teaching "tolerance" as you would call it. If that tolerance goes directly against a religious tenet, then such "tolerance" takes the form of a religious teaching whether you would acknowledge it or not.

And while we're on the subject, libraries in this country are PUBLIC LIBRARIES, not family libraries. As such, libraries must serve the public who pays the bills.

So, if a community voted on it and voted that their public library would treble their christian holdings and eliminate their homosexual holdings, that would be okay with you?

So get used to this fact and deal with it.

This gratuitous line adds nothing to the conversation.

Instead, it would serve you better to learn tolerance.

You know nothing about me and you know nothing about what I believe. I have incredible tolerance. I tolerate christians equally with homos. I tolerate blacks and whites. Long as the money's green I don't care.

I'm going to say something that is probably going to outrage you, but if you can look beyond your outrage perhaps we can have a discussion. If not, there's no point in continuing as far as I'm concerned.

More gratuitous nothing/

Since you want to talk about homosexuality, then let's do so. Homosexuality is not a life-style choice. It is what someone IS.

So says you. I do not agree.

Just as you and I are heterosexual, homosexuality is what a person IS.

I do not agree. If someone spent their time buggering animals I would not claim that such is normal. Nor would I claim that pedophiles are normal even though they can't seem to help themselves. That homosexuality is considered "normal" is a public policy decision and nothing more.

Obviously you believe in god.

Wrong again, chiefy. I am what would be called a Deist.

If so, then you believe that you are made by god.

No I beleive that I was made by sperm and egg from my mother and father.

Then it follows that you must, of necessity, believe that god also made people who are homosexual.

No I beleive that something in their upbringing caused them to so beleive.

Do you know that homosexuality is found very often in the animal kingdom?

Yeah, and my dog will hump my leg in public, so what?

Or are you so insecure in yourself that you have nothing better to do that persecute people who are different from you?

I have persecuted no one. Nor will I. What people do in the privacy of their homes is their business. It becomes my business, when they try to foist their ideas upon me and my children. Homosexuals are doing just that.
