I guess I'm unnatural, then. I don't love babies, and I never have. I have a great dislike of them. Even when I was little, if someone handed me a baby doll I wanted absolutely nothing to do with it, and I had no idea what to do with it if I even wanted to play with it. And everyone knows that
all girls play with baby dolls
.
It's really kind of a problem for me, because my sister-in-law's firstborn is due in May, and I really have no idea how I'm going to interact with a baby.
You will learn to love babies one day, or perhaps you should see a psychologist about it.
All babies in all species are believed to be inherently cute as a defensive mechanism, so I have heard. I do not know how much credence I give to that but really, I do not know how you couldn't love baby things. It's exactly why Bonsais are great.
Are you seriously suggesting, as a matter of law, that gays are not equal? Do you believe that schools should not teach that all law-abiding citizens should not be treated equally?
I think the school shouldn't tell anybody how to think about anybody else. It is our right to think whatever we want. I do not want to be taught to hate or to love but I want to come to my own conclusions with my own mind, not be conditioned to be praised for some sort of liberal or conservative agenda.
I do not think the law should discriminate against any law abiding tax payer.
So are you claiming that we shouldn't teach children that they should treat people of other religions equally? In not the greatest commandment to love the Lord according to Christ? So why should Christians believe it is right to treat Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. all equally?
They should be treated better than fellow Christians. Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and non-Christians deserve the best of treatment from us in all ways as I think Christians understand each other better and because Christians are not necessarily trying to represent the body of Christ when they speak with each other.
I go out of my way when I express myself to non-believers to try to be accommodating (in real life... Here I guess I just like to attack).
Sorry, I don't see any credibility in that blog entry. From the
mainstream news report I found:
The quoted article in the Blog is from a Christian activist group that appears to be making false claims to help raise money and outrage.
You are right, it was not banned but rather boycotted and then different advocacy groups worked to censor the program because they disagreed with the statements.
Canada does not have freedom of speech, as we do in this country. As such, they have banned language that is believed to be inflammatory. Language used by Dr. Laura saying gays are a deviant behaviour, a dysfunctional behaviour and an error are inflammatory, just as it would be if directed against Christianity. All Canadian law is stating is that you may not use inflammatory language against groups of law abiding citizens, whether the group is religion, race or sexual orientation. Here in the US we allow the opposite, people are free to call people names (and do) freely.
So there is no freedom of speech in your country -- ridiculous.
Remind me not to speak my mind in Canada.
Homosexuality is deviant behavior, it is dysfunctional behavior, it is an error, and I will stand by that point in any way shape or form, whether Canada wants me to or not.
However, Canada allows people to call homosexuality sin, just as long as they do not use inflammatory language to do so.
Will Canada censor this for you?
"Homosexuality is a deviant behavior and a biological error."
False. If you are going to use examples please report them accurately. In this case the couple refused to abide by the laws that cover foster care. Since all citizens are equal under the law, the British government does not allow foster parents to teach otherwise. Since they refused to do this, they were no longer allowed to be foster parents.
What is even funnier is the double standard you portray. For example, were this an atheist or Muslim couple teaching that Christians did not deserve respect or equal treatment I'm sure you'd be screaming your head off about the anti-Christian bigotry.
Laws which would require them to condone homosexuality as foster parents.
What kind of a law is that?
Does that qualify as forcing an opinion down someone's throat?
So we should stop do gooders who do not ideologically agree with us? This would be like me banning homosexuals from adopting kids -- do you want
that?
Again, false. A person who has written shows for the BBC, Antony Jay, complained that he believes the BBC has a liberal bias. He doesn't say anything about the portrayal of homosexuals on the BBC at all. You really need to find another blog for your information, though you can't even blame the blog for twisting the information from this article.
The BBC is govenrment funded and liberal. Isn't that forcing liberal views down someones throat?
Please provide evidence of any Western country not allowing Christian programs on the airways?
I have none.
Yes, much like you won the battle for slavery, segregation, etc.
I do not support slavery or segregation so you're out of luck on this inflammatory remark, equating conservatism with something it isn't associated with.
The National Socialist German Workers Party in every way but social issues was fundamentally leftist. Can I call you a closet Nazi, now?
this is true, that doesn't mean the changes are wrong though
Yeah, change isn't wrong and when our change triumphs it'll be glorious.
what? you mean you really don't consider gay people equals? no one is saying you have to consider homosexuality moral, no one has ever said this, you believe it be wrong all you want.
now saying what gay people can and can't do based on your views of the morality of homosexuality, is what people are arguing about, they think you are wrong
i find it funny that christians would feel the same way if they were in the same boat as gays
Gays have a right to do whatever they want under the law, and I agree witht hat; however, they are not moral equals in my opinion.
orly? society seems to say otherwise, the next generation seems to think being gay is acceptable and not immoral or wrong
We're going to triumph in the end.
You are also looking at 'next generation' in limited terms.
You are also looking at locations like America.
What about Switzerland, where the SPS has grown from a ragtag group in the early nineties to conrolling 50+ seats of 200?
What about the NPD in Germany being more and more elected in an anti-Islamic backlash?
Sarkozy was elected in France and Merkel in Germany. The Popular Orthodox Rally of Greece is gaining speed and the Right wing party of Serbia lead the 2008 elections.
Pak Geun-hye was nearly nominated, a true representative of far right wing Korean movement. Shinzo Abe was elected (but later resigned) and was renown for his conservatism.
On a global scale people are having stronger backlashes in more liberal countries and it shall come to pass in America as well.
We cannot be defeated because wherever moral anarchy and cultural decay rears its head the natural desire of the human heart to return to righteousness begins to appear.
Our victory is inevitable.
that just makes me laugh, that is untrue, your views are nont inherent to mankind. intolerance of homosexuality is based on social norms not on some inherent trait. i love how you bring up "natural" like it means something, this is a pure red herring, who cares if its natural or not, you aren't even talking about nature, you are talking about "is this normal in our culture"
how can people "act like" homosexuals, whats the difference between acting and being
of course its natural for humans to feel emotion towards their offspring, but not in the womb, babies are naturally cute
Every society, even atheist societies, have abhorred homosexual behavior as deviant. My girlfriend, a Chinese, once said to me that the Chinese are not like Americans: they cannot accept homosexuality.
She and 90%+ of China is atheist and militantly so, but it is still a nation that operates off of basic norms of social behavior and has not divorced itself from the reality.
It takes a lot of brainwashing (which we all incur) to convince us that something so unnatural is acceptable and laudable.
what persecution? disagreement is not persecution, ignoring christian morality is not persecution
get back to me when you are turned away from a job for being christian, or a home, or told you can't practice your religion at all
using the term persecution for anything in america is devaluing the struggles of truly persecuted people and makes me angry
thats what every christian who screams persecution! hopes for
I think the persecution is coming more to the forefront in other countries where Canada is outlawing free speech (just look earlier in this post and you will see that). Britain is the same.
Those give us strength and speed and we will never be stopped.
The pendulum swings in our favor, now.
