“I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed. Ever since the days of your ancestors, you have scorned my decrees and failed to obey them. Now return to me, and I will return to you,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies."
Malachi 3:6-7
It reports 43 percent of Catholics nationally favor gay marriage
Really? I’d be very, very shocked if that is accurate.
I grew up in Palm Springs, CA (lots of gays) and did a survey for a sociology course of 250 gays/lesbians. Over 80% admitted they were abused either sexually or physically. About 50% readily admitted it was a choice or they were pressured into the lifestyle (prostitution to pay for drugs, etc).
If they don’t want to be gay, they don’t have to be. You don’t need to give into every temptation that comes your way.
In California? Wow. Our last neighborhood in CA we had Kevlar vests to garden in our front yard. They even broke in through our iron bars when they robbed us right before we moved out of state.
You couldn’t pay me to live in CA again. God be with you.
That sort of research direction wouldn’t alleviate the need to find some sort of remedy. Were that sort of research done responsibly and according to all accepted medical and scientific practices, then it would force the APA to place it back in the DSM as a psychological disorder.
If the research finds its a choice, and there is nothing that medical science can do, then we would be able to repeal all of these onerous marriage requirements and tort claims being foisted on us.
Until its done, we are going to get more of what we are getting. The homosexual lobby will fight any effort at coherent, proper research of the matter.
It will help turn the tide.
The Bishop should have responded by asking Kyra Philips to explain how two people of the same sex can join together as husband and wife - which you have to have in order to have marriage. This is not “discrimination”, “hate”, etc. it’s just reality...two people of the same sex cannot be husband and wife...it’s just the way it is.
Katherine Hepburn used to say that; “it’s just not possible” to roughly quote her. It’s silly; but having said that, I can’t stop two people who think they’re “in love” from shacking up together. I doubt they’d be inviting me to their “wedding” anyway if it became “legal”.
No, that's right, and neither can the State of North Carolina, for example. If any association of people other than one man and one woman want to "get married," they can find a church that will do it for them, or get a Wiccan practitioner, or a friend with some cool academic robes, or whatever. What they can't do, without the state's police power behind them, is force me or anything else to recognize them as a married couple.
I had a friend from college who held a "commitment ceremony" with his homosexual partner. We were invited, although it was a courtesy invitation, since we lived in a far-off city with several small children. It was a housewarming celebration, as well, so we sent them a gift to recognize their home-ownership.
What a totally disgusting B****!!!!!
Good thing I don’t have CNN. I would have thrown something at the TV!!
“God be with you.”
He is.
Yep....when they leave work, they turn off their brains.
” Do these people ever LISTEN to themselves?”
They don’t DARE!
Maybe their jobs don’t require thinking. Mine didn’t, really ... just following the instructions to fill out the forms correctly, day after month after quarter after year ...
People tend to go to their little corners, and ignore reality......unless it is a reality TV show, that is.
The average American is so disassociated with reality, they can’t name the VP.
Dick Cheney!
LOL!
And the POTUS is Saul Alinsky : )
For the rest of his life, at least.
