Very biased source. Maybe a link to the statement/news on the Phillies' site?silas said:Another unsettling example of the world's willingness to condone sinful behavior.

Truncate said:Remember Seperation of Church and State? Remember that there are billions of people in the world that do not agree to the alleged "fact" of "homosexuality being a sin."
Strictly scientifically speaking, it is not a "sin," nor is it a choice. As with other animals, some of us are born homosexual, some heterosexual, some bisexual, some transsexual, some hermaphrodites, etc.
Good for the Phillies' management, team, and fans.
Spinto said:Also, I find it offensive that anyone would say that homosexuality is DEFINED by the gay sex act--so said in the article. An abstinent homosexual is still a homosexual. A gay man who decides he wants to try sex with a woman is STILL a GAY MAN. So much for that definition.
Seperation of Church and State is related to this, because no religious group can tell the government to outlaw "gay days" or celebratory days/parades for homosexuals.silas said:Truncate- I'm not real clear on some of your remarks. What does the article or argument have to do with the separation of Church & State? I do agree that, scientifically speaking, homosexuality isn't a sin. That's because science neither determines nor acknowledges sin. Sin entered the world through Adam & Eve and was clarified to man via the Word of God. Apart from God's Word man knows nothing of sin and those who remain separated from God generally refuse to acknowledge the existence of sin.

Truncate said:About the "sin" part of your response, if "sin" is not found anywhere outside of the bible, then how is this secular "gay day" supporting or ignoring "sin"? They/we do not believe in "sin" (which was created in the bible and "solved" in the bible - solving a problem earlier writers created, basically), nor do we believe homosexuality is bad.
What about hermaphrodites, transsexuals, people born with no sex organs - are they being sinful just by being born that way?

Inspired said:Fine a protest, a parade doesn't matter, they are both for the same reason, you say you don't want to see us out in public like we have no right to be there, then yea, we are going to make it a point to be there everytime you turn around.
Volos said:From the above site:
"Families will take their children to Tuesday's baseball game for a good time, but instead they will be confronted with a 'Gay Community Day.' What type message is this giving the children attending?" asked Diane Gramley, director of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania
Gee they might see that gays and lesbians look and act just like everyone else and that is the LAST thing these people would want children to see.
Inspired said:It's a protest, a peaceful one, and obviously it worked, you and several others got all riled up about it.
sweetkitty said:Or if it's like gay day at Disney they could see a WHOLE LOT MORE...LOL
I mean homosexuals have pretty much proven that they have a problem not "acting out" in public
Inspired said:Christians burn crosses in peoples yards, and hang people because of their race.
See how that blanketed statement thing can get annyoing? Just because it may apply to some doesn't mean it applies to all.
sweetkitty said:Funny I haven't seen any news stories about Christians burning crosses
or hanging people..but I sure have seen a LOT of homosexual stories in the news lately.
