This is a load of crap.

The Bible denounces slavery.

The Bible denounces sodomy.

Because those of the cultres of the past know the obvious.. The lifestyle is very unhealthy and leads to many diesease and early death. It doesn’t seem like it now as the homosexual lobby seems so powerful, but it is based on a lie, and what happens when things are based on lies, they collapse. Generations from now will look at what western civilizaition did with condoning homosexuality and shake their heads in disgust and how stupid we were.

>>> There is no such civic celebration of heterosexual hedonism.

Allow me to introduce you to Mardi Gras. Want some beads?

>>> The Bible denounces slavery. The Bible denounces sodomy.

Leviticus 25:44-46: “Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.”

The Confederate churches were very fond of Leviticus. It told them they were following the laws of God.

Freudian slip?

I too thought that was strange, along with the other misspellings. Good catch on your part.

my point is to my post #6 of this thread. Appears I was not clear in post #46. My apology.

The Bible has been substantially extended since the writing of Leviticus.

And the nonsense you posted about “the Confederate churches” (as if there ever were such things) is pure anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti-white leftist lies. I’m sure you were just glowing with self-satisfaction when you wrote that garbage, just as the commies have trained you to be, dupe.

can't we get a little more creative when it comes to the new phase in the civil rights revolution, the liberation of gay people? The new Book of Mormon musical is telling us to take exactly this approach to religious teachings -- channeling the spirit rather than getting caught up in the more fantastical details --

Yeah! Why can't we dump that silly old Bible, and it's 'fanstatical' stories, and live more like how a Broadway musical says we should live? That's the ticket! /s

No, Mr. Gates, how about just apply REASON to the Bible, which is why God gave us brains. Nah, I guess that wouldn't work because even though in doing so, slavery would always have been wrong, homosexuality will still be sinful behavior.

Yeah, I got it, and replied. I have no idea who the guy is. Maybe it was someone fishing for someone to post something really nasty to him so he could post it somewhere else as 'hate speech' by conservatives.

I'm not a hater, but I did tell him how I feel and believe about homosexual behavior, in all Christian charity, of course.

I did not re-email the person who sent the email. I agree with all you stated, but did not reply to this person. Good for you for your email to this individual who was trolling. I pray you changed his or her (whichever it was) heart, mind, and spirit to be a better person.

I doubt it, but I hope I gave him something to think about. I did something similar on a niece's Facebook page yesterday, after she posted how proud she was of New York for passing the gay marriage law. I told her I disagreed, and boy did I become the skunk at the garden party.

She and her 20, 30, and 40 something friends are all pretty liberal, and were just horrified that I could be so bigoted and discriminatory. I reminded her that her Grandparents didn't raise me to be either of those, and proceeded to explain my opposition to that legislation, based on the need for marriage being between one man and one woman as the basis of civilization. They really went gaga when I threw out the fact that if marriage is removed from that tether of man-woman, then ANY combination could be considered, one man, four women, or two women and a dog. That REALLY set them off, but I told them that someone had already sued to be able to marry their dog.

I mentioned that the intolerance was coming from the homosexual side, and told them of some instances here in MA where folks had lost their jobs because even though they never volunteered any information, someone asked them how they felt about homosexual marriage, and they said they didn't agree with it. But WE'RE the bigots, right? I hope that the REASON I used in the posts, against the vitriol posted by them and their friends, might give them an idea about the opponents that's different from the idea presented by the MSM, but at this point, I doubt it, because it's fashionable to like homosexuals and revel in their being 'liberated'.

Good for you for giving them the truth, and food for thought. You were correct to speak the truth. Sometimes it takes a while before those being spoken to see the truth. Sometimes those given the truth never see it as truth. You tried, I commend you.

All proud sinners hate God and His Word. The homosexual movement currently is at the front of the line.

Plenty of homosexual blocks in the French Quarter with men dangling their equipment.

Now days, the effort is being made to indoctrinate children in the schools with the mantra that this is “normal” and “to be celebrated” no matter what their parents or religious institution may say.

A generation ago this would have been called “corrupting a minor” to give them an education in oral sex, anal sex, mutual masturbation, and fisting.

Hedonism is a “live for today” philosophy. Even among those in Southern Louisiana, where Mardi Gras is celebrated (and it is NOT all about showing breasts for Chinese slave labor beads and drinking hurricanes), it comes as the beginning of 40 days of Lent and Catholic restraint.

Did they adopt children and “make water” where the women did their business?
