He has every right to have and express his feelings, no matter how vile and hateful and outright wrong they may be.

That said, feces are icky, and a normal person is repelled by the thought of feces, but that doesn't mean that pooping is unnatural or wrong, does it? There are many, many things in this world that I find repellant (and gay sex is NOT one of them) that I do not seek to discriminate on the basis of.

I feel sorry that the author is such a hateful, angry person. Obviously, he has some serious issues that he is externalizing onto homosexuals, and I hope he is able to solve those real issues and get to a more rational and healthy place in his life.

Anybody else think the topic was "The Great Gay ROCKET" ? ^_^
I admit, I was intrigued. Alas, it is not as interesting as that, but it's still an interesting topic.

God's word says that homosexuality is a sin. Yes I know, you'll disagree. It's ok. Do that. I'm not here to debate that part of my statement.

This is the part that I wish to add:

God's word does not say "ostracize homosexuals" "abuse homosexuals" "torment homosexuals" "murder homosexuals." etc. Imho, we're all sinners. Nobody's sin is any greater or less than anybody elses, though I'd like to think that God views those who harm children with a different point of view. His word does say that those who harm a child would be better to tie a stone around themselves and hurl themselves into the sea than to face Him. So I think He probably does view crimes against children differently. That said, this has nothing to do with our topic, so don't assume that I'm saying homosexuals will harm children. :p My point is that people who profess Christianity shouldn't be cruel to others simply because they happen to believe in something that God's word says is wrong. We are also not called to judge the homosexual condemned to hell. There are many Christian homosexuals, and I leave them to God. I let Him be the judge. I only know what His word has told me, and of all the things it says, the message of Salvation, and the following are the most important:

Jesus said…"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matt.22:37-40.

I'll just echo the feelings that the rant was complete and utter BS. One of the more BSier pieces I've read in a while. In fact, if that guy was saying that stuff to my face, I'd have a very hard time controlling my urge to slap him upside the head, and I'm a very non-violent person.

He does seem like the guy you really hope you don't end up next to on the bus, because if you accidentally make eye contact, they will start in with their barrage of hate and complaints.

It's everyone's right to say what they want.

And it's everyone's right to say things that are totally, well, :sick: :sick: :eek: :sick: :sick:

But I can't sleep, so I'm going to try to take this article seriously anyways...

First, homosexuality a sickness? Nuh-uh. http://www.apa.org/pubinfo/answers.html#mentalillness

Second...well, do I even need to go into the problems with the ideas set up in the article, or does everyone already know 'em?

American Psychiatry used to classify homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder until the counter-cultural revolution in the sixties, which was a Marxist revolution lead by Bolshevics leaving Russia and Eastern Europe.

Even from an atheist perspective homosexuality is a very serious genetic defect: the basic principle of evolution is that an organism must reproduce: all natural selection works to pass on those traits that best facilitates reproductive success: since homosexuals don't reproduce, it would be the most maladaptive trait, a complete evolutionary dead end, a trait that would bring the species to extinction.

Okay. :scratch:

That's actually not true, because nothing in evolution requires or demands that ALL members of a species reproduce. The fact is, in our current world, infertility and homosexuality seem to serve the purpose of curbing overpopulation. While from a Darwinian perspective your claims about evolution might make sense, more recent theories about what drives evolution would contradict the idea that natural selection is the major factor.

Wrong. Homosexuality has a purpose evolutionary speaking, the fact that it is so common compared to actual genetic defects is evidence for this. Besides when did evolution stop anyone from doing something? We counter Natural Seclection every day with modern medicine.

This is a particularly stupid article since the author ignores the fact that vastly greater numbers of heterosexual women than homosexual men have been 'sodomized' (ie., had anal sex). Why is this idiot not out spreading his hate and bigotry against heterosexuals who engage in anal sex?

So what? Since when do we evaluate activities based on their evolutionary success?

The Russian revolution is responsible for the fact that psychologists were unable to find evidence that homosexuality is a mental illness? (and to this day are still unable to find such evidence)



Wow…



The things they don’t teach in high school history class…

And that is why bees ( a species where less than 0.01% of the population ever reproduces…Gorillas, (less than 10% of male reproduce) elephants (less that 5%

of males ever reproduce) are all extinct…no…wait…never mind

Hmm, not aware of any sixites cats who were refugees.

What a fumblemouthed aggregation of nonsense based entirely on prejudice which completely ignores the fact many LGBTs have biological children.
