oh dear. Well at least they have been warned.So, gays tried to warn you all about AIDS, but straights ended up catching AIDS anyway and now it's rampant among African and Asian heterosexual men and women (and black females in the U.S.), which means you should not listen to a tornado warning issued by a gay meteorologist.
Assuming you live in central Texas, you should close now this message so that the others can be forewarned.
[Have you closed this message?]
[Good.]
[Don't read this, BAFIELD. This is weather information provided by a homosexual. You may get homosexualjust by reading this message, and then you'll have teh ghey.]
A line of severe thunderstorms with wind gusts to 70 mph, nickel-sized hail and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning is moving through central Texas and should be through Rockdale, Austin, Johnson City and Fredericksburg by 8:30 a.m.; and Bastrop, Lockhart, San Marcos and Kerrville by 9 am.
The line of thunderstorms extends from Rockdale westward to near Fort Stockton.
Severe thunderstorm watch number 427 is in effect for central Texas until noon today.
...no one did anything until straight people started dying?

You know, you're the only person that seems to have bias and prejudice here.
EVERY person that has answered your silly question has said they dont care if the meterologist is gay. You on the other hand, keep making snide remarks about a hypothetical fireman that thinks homosexuality is a sin. Then, you make prejudiced remarks about the South.
It seems to me that not only do you have a chip on your shoulder about "eveybody's hates me because I'm gay",
but you also have a biased and prejudiced opinion of others (fundamentalist, southerns, etc.)
Maybe you should get that LOG out of your eye first.

It's not rampant among anyone that avoids fornication. When sex is ONLY between a married man and his wife, there are no STD risks that amount to anything.
You know you can't say that! If you say that, it means you HATE anyone who has sex with someone they are not married to!roll eyes)
It would have never been a health crisis if people lived by the Bible (gays and straights). If sex was one man with one woman for life, there would be NO STDs, not just AIDS. But our new sexual freedom has natural consequences. Who knew that God knew what He was talking about when He told us not to engage in sex outside of marriage (pre-marital or extra-marital) or homosexual sex?
dmagoh(ever wonder why tulc always has a cute little after thought in all his posts?)
back in the 1980's in Sacramento we had a meteorologist named Stormin' Norman. His station used to run promos with him before the JCOS when he was in the military giving weather reports.
ROTFL, of course he was fired when a police sting caught him "sharing" a Macys restroom stall with another man. He was standing in a shopping bag so that it would look like there was only one person in the stall.

Your comments are very thought provoking. What I will say, based on first hand experience, while limited...is you can EASILY expect liberal christians to embrace christians and non-christians alike. I do find it much more comman for liberal christians to speak with fundies like many of us here do. I love to hear their spin on things b/c it's quite amusing most of the time. However, rarely, if ever, will you find fundies embracing and accepting of anyone outside of their belief system. It's just is what it is and there is no denying it. They want to have a lock on Christianity, yet their version of it is the most demented. They make God out to be wicked, and vengful, and all things bad to his children. They list all of these judgements and requirements of what MUST be done in order to have a life with Christ...what one needs to do in order to be "saved", etc... The entire BIBLE, that they read so literally, is missed by them, because while they study to memorize scripture...so they can spew it in hatred at those they don't like...they missed the message of the bible...LOVE/COMPASSION. Jesus LOVES us. BELIEVE in him and the kingdom is yours. There is NO TEST to be a child of God..and God certainly is not out to bring death, destruction, and dispair into your life. Scare tactics are used everywhere in life. Unfortuantely, many fundamentalist churchs run with this foundation as well. Use religious threats, to make their followers anxious, scared, and unworthy to follow God...and it just is wrong. They are experts in spiritual abuse and as such ingrain it in their congregations minds so they continue to use their church as the be all/end all of everything. 1/2 of my family USED to be like that. I know there is a God, b/c all but one are no longer like that. It is the compassionate and loving God that allowed them to see the light, and be released from all the manmade HATREDs that some CLAIM are bible-based. I am a fortunate one because much of my family came out of it. Many on here that are so religious obsessed can even see straight but hope is never lost for them. When an individual has no hope, or hit rock bottom. Their dispair is so deep and they just can not move on..that is exactly when these churches hone in and take control...at a person's most vunerable state. They then become fundamentalists b/c they can now give up any rational thought...and just "leave it up to God"..and go to their bible and make it the support system they so desperately need. So while many seem to think they have a handle on as to why some people are gay (abuse as a child, or one strong parent over another, or whatever)...what is even more clearer is that fundamentalists come from tragic lives where all hope was lost until they "found God"..whether a jail sentence showed them the way, or drug abuse, or booze, or whatever rock bottom event happened. 'nuff said.Perhaps tulc has a sense of humor I've seen so completely lacking in so many fundamentalists?
Like, when one becomes a fundamentalist, it seems as though one has to leave their ability to reason and their sense of humor on the hat rack beside the door?
Or maybe tulc has a sense of compassion?
I agree. Unfortunatly we don't live in that world, we live in this fallen one.
...except sex doesn't cause AIDS, exchanging fluids does. Which is why hundreds of kids in Romania contracted it from getting immunized in school. Also why IV drug users are at risk. The reason I bring those up is sometimes we assume if we eliminated just one thing (ie some types of sex) then it would be "Problem solved!" when in truth that's just the method it's transfered by. You have to get past the "If people would just live according to the Bible!!" and get to "How do we heal/take care of these people who are sick?" Do you see what I'm saying?

I never implied that everybody hates me because I'm gay. I get along with Brieuse, davedjy, tulc, thefarmersdaughter and most of the people on this board just fine.
If I've implied anything, it's that you, MercyBurst, newguy101, and Der Alter hate me because I'm gay.

Why would you consider this post "hateful"? I didn't say it in hate...I'm just stating perception and in some cases fact. Is that judging? I didn't say anything about judging you as a person...I'm just making an observation. Hey, we all have our own personal prejudices, and I won't deny that fundies get under my skin. Most times I try to stay away because they scare me with their obsessions...just like a fundamentalist islamic scares me with theirs. Granted fundie Christians aren't out to kill people, but their militant obsessions are still there. I don't state it in hate, nor by judgement...I'm no one to judge. I just post from my perspective as that is all that I know.It really is interesting reading to see how liberal Christians post comments about how accepting they are, and loving they are, and non-judgemental they are...
...and then read all the hateful posts directed at fundamentalists.
If the above quotes are not judgemental, what are they?
