To: What is the bottom line
Thanks for the lengthy response - it's not common to get such effort put into responses so I'm always pleasantly surprised when someone takes/has the time do it.

I agree to a point that people should be allowed to express their opinion. However, as a Christian myself I'm only going to listen to the 'stumping' by certain groups before I recognize that what they are promoting is immoral or a violation of fundamental freedoms important to the well-being of our country. Is it really in our best interest as a moral country to allow immoral behavior to be 'represented'? What do we then do with the paedophile, the beastophile or the necrophile? In our efforts to be more tolerant do we start listening to their 'needs' and 'demands' to exist as a 'divergent' view?

While I certainly could do without the extremes that are promoted by certain individuals on these forums there it is still reasonable to draw a line based on a moral stance and to say that we're not going to tolerate such behavior.

I can't speak for all the Christians on this forum but I can tell you that I too will point to the Bible (if necessary) to make my point but based on the simple rules of logic I don't necessarily have to do so to make the point that homosexuality is not a lifestyle we need to validate or justify in a moral society. It is a stepping stone to further perversion.

Personally I'd say there are definitely two ways we can go. We can choose the path of morality and avoid the destruction that comes from choosing immorality or we can choose immorality and reap what we sow. I think the posted article above demonstrates that choosing homosexuality does not make one socially more responsible. And I'm referring to not just to the murderer - I'm referring to the many horrible comments stated by 'liberals' as exhibited in the post. All they've done is add a deeper level of degenerate behavior to an already immoral lifestyel.

I'm glad you're willing to listen to a reasonable Christian view - I just hope reasonable doesn't imply that they must agree with you.
