"Tell me this, what percentage of the population do you believe, actually maintains that being gay is morally o.k? I say morally, because this is a moral, not a legal issue. Does that mean that everyone that does not agree with those of you that think that it is hunky dory, is a bigot or intolerant?"
I couldn't have said this better myself! Well spoken ccrider. What's next? I don't like to be in the same room with someone who is smoking. Does that make me a bigot? If I choose not to hang around people because they are crack heads does that make me a bigot?
This whole conversation is just another example of why our country is in the shape it is in. We have taken The very faith our nation was founded over out of everything including schools. We have these shootings and then Wonder where God was when it happened. We forced him out. Our kids can't pray in school but ESPN can promote the ideas it did. We have a president who refuses to solute our flag, says he wants gun control to keep anymore of our kids from being harmed yet is one of the biggest supporters of partial birth abortions in history, tells us "no tax increase for the middle class" and raises out taxes on 80% of the nation month later. Our country is stuck believing whatever the media tells us. They are telling us homosexuality is okay and is morally right. If that's the case, why can't two males or two females have a child?
Until we all take a stand for what our parents taught us and stop believing everything the media tries to shove down our throats, this country's demise will continue.
http://www.news-medical.net/news/2006/10/23/20718.aspxMore than 1,500 species in nature practice some kind of homosexuality, and yet most humans, influenced by an imaginary man in the sky, believe that being gay or lesbian is immoral. Morality is learned, I suggest that you get a new teacher.
Scott is a personal friend of mine here in So Cal. He is a stand-up guy and wouldn't dare begrudge someone for who they are or what they did.
The smoking analogy doesn't hold up because smoking has been proven to kill people and second-hand smoke has been proven to be harmful to others, even causing death. Being gay doesn't harm anyone.
In the history of the USA, the intolerance of people based on race, gender, etc. has been steadily removed from our society. A person's sexual preference is a trait that will be defended by law very soon, I suggest you get used to it.
The very "faith" you describe is the same faith that is teaching you to be intolerant. The "faith" that's based on 2000 year old teachings. I suggest you grow a mind of your own and reconsider your ancient way of thinking. It's more moral to accept people for who they are than to default to a book written 2000 years ago when women were owned as slaves and everyone thought the world was flat.
