Many issues are involved in the present debate over the acceptance of homosexuality. While there are those in the field of genetics who say homosexuality is biologically determined, there are also those in the field of religion who say the practice of homosexuality is always wrong.
. . .
There are many studies that have been conducted but none of them prove the practice of homosexuality is biologically determined. In fact, human behavior, sexual or otherwise, has little to do with genetics. A rational person will realize that we live in a world where we have a choice as to how we behave and also where we are going to be held accountable for the choices we make.
Although it may not be fully understood what causes a person to become a murderer or a rapist, society will not hesitate to punish such criminal behavior. The same would hold true with sexual behavior. Though a person may have certain desires for sexual contact with his own or the opposite sex, the desire to follow through with those desires is a choice for which the accountable person will be held responsible. It should be obvious that sexuality does not completely fall under the realm of science.
. . .
Moral absolutes may be defined as “objective moral values which are real and true for men regardless of whether any person or culture believes them to be true.” In other words, moral absolutes are higher than the invention, alteration, or termination of mankind.
There are two things that are necessary for a system of morality to be based on moral absolutes: (1) moral obligations must be dependent upon objective moral truth; and (2) mankind must have the ability to be aware of and to learn of that truth.

We can help turn back the homosexual tide this year by opposing any candidate of either party who caves into the demands of the homosexual activists and who refuses to affirmatively support traditional family structures and values.
Then we have to oppose Romney.
A vote for Romney is a vote for the homosexual agenda.
To this day I still think Bill Clinton was sharing Monica with Hillary.
Well, I guess I can’t fault your logic there.
I wouldn’t be surprised. There was some serious moral decay in that family, that’s for sure.
I’m worried about the long-term effects when our leaders refuse to stand up to the homosexual lobby. What do the kids see and hear?
The sex positive agenda isn’t about science. They will tout BULLSTALIN studies if that is what it takes to persuade the mushy middle.
Their declared goal is to end ALL moral judgments over ALL sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).
They consider orgasm to be a birthright that should be enjoyed at every age.
Positive.org encourages teens to “just say yes” because there are too many fuddy duddies.
http://www.positive.org/JustSayYes/index.html
Science is not in the equation for their agenda. It’s only a mere distraction to sway some to support their goals.
What vote in the 2012 presidential election will stop the homosexual agenda in 2013?
“A vote for Romney is a vote for the homosexual agenda.”
No. A vote for Romney is an acknowledgement that we have no alternatives in 2012. And Romney would be slightly less aggressive in punishing religious groups that disagree with him.
Sometimes, a quarter loaf is all that is available. Or even a slice...
However, I tired of gays trying to ram their lifestyle down everyone’s throats....no pun intended.
In addition, marriage is a religious institution and always has been....deal with it because I refuse to compromise my religious beliefs to satisfy the gay community.
Romney never has spoken out against the homosexual agenda, but he sure has issued a lot of statements about how he LOVES homosexuals. If he isn't an active homo, then he is a wanna-be homo.
I have to ask the question of whether or not Romney was ever one of the Temple Workers who hand washed the private parts of young men during the "sacred" Temple ritual before the young men were given their own pair of magic underwear.
Does anyone have any information on that?
1. Voting for as many Conservatives as possible in the Congressional races.
2. Vote with your buying power by avoiding "gay friendly" businesses, when possible.
I get it about Romney's less than Conservative record, but in January the President will either be him or Obama. As someone else pointed out, we need to elect Romney to stop Obama, and a Conservative Congress to stop Romney.
No matter how you slice it, a vote for Romney is a vote in favor of the homosexual agenda.
Romney has been one of the most active proponents of the homosexual agenda in either party.
Even Barney Frank issued a statement condemning Boston and Chicago for trying to ban Chick-fil-A, but Romney couldn't be bothered. He was too busy trying to convince the Boy Scouts to turn their Boy Scout camps into homosexual orgy fests.

Well, obviously I can't confirm that, or disprove it for that matter. Another possible explanation for Romney's support for the homosexual agenda is that the homosexual agenda is a gateway issue for extending support for what the Mormons call "plural marriage." So, there may be some of that going on here, too.
It's enough for me that both major candidates are soft on homosexuals and I'm not sure how much I want to know about all of the reasons.
Even old supposed ‘conservative’ Rush has join up with the perverts. He came unglued over the demand for US to pay for contraceptives for women, but, he embraced EltonJon, pervert of perverts at his ‘wedding’... This ROT is wide and deep. YES, I am repulsed at what these so called conservative yackers and political egos have devolved into ignoring WHO is literally in control....
There is NOTHING fiscally conservative about social liberalism .... How much taxpayer dollars have been diverted to prop up the pervert agenda? So why would not ‘women’ think they tooooo should get their ‘sex’ acts covered?
yep
him and Obama
voting for evil is still eveil, whether one is wrong more or not
balancing my check book is not an excuse to vote for sodomy
Yes, indeed. It is a national sin and a national disgrace.
None of us are spared. None of us will be spared.
The time has come for action.
Wasn’t Paul Ryan an altar boy?
It is not that the two major candidates are merely "soft" on homosexuals, I would go so far as to say they both ARE Homosexuals.
I dare them to try to sue me for that, since both of them think that being a homosexual is a good and noble thing. So by saying they are both homosexuals, I am (in their twisted world) complimenting them on their sexual preference and giving them both credit for being noble.
Hey Romney, come out of the closet! So some Pride!
I believe so, but not in the Mormon church. See post 10 for possible differences.
A vote for 3rd party is a vote for the horror that is Barack Hussein Obama. -I’m willing to live and let live. If a man/woman is bent upon trying to have warped sex with their own kind, on being filthy; I am ready to LET THEM BE FILTHY STILL - without being bothered.
I’m not voting for Obama, even in a back door way.
That's entirely possible and would help to explain a lot about their politics. I'm certainly unable to disprove it.
We go to war with the army we’ve got, not the army we wish we had, and most certainly not with an army whose sole purpose is to play spoiler and make sure the other side wins just to “teach our side a lesson.”
Go ahead and vote for Romney.
Just don’t pretend that you are voting against the homosexual agenda when you do.
You will be giving Romney a solid mandate to continue in his active role as the prominent leader of the Homosexual agenda. No matter how you slice it, a vote for Romney is a vote for the continuation and advancement of the homosexual agenda.
I disagree about none of US will be spared... see what we place first in our lives is not our 'bank' accounts... God said I will never leave you nor forsake you... His children have since the beginning of time left Him. He looks out for and protects those that love Him. But it sure can be ugly and depressing watching this lowest level of ungodliness get presented as good.
I am not going to be intimidated or allow the ridicule from these that are too stupid to know where our blessings and protection in this nation originated... Their bank accounts stay right here on this earth when they return to meet the MAKER....
Sorry, Twinkie, but a vote for Goode of the CP or Johnson of the LP is a vote for Goode or Johnson. Goode is on the ballot in Ohio, and if I click on his name, then my vote gets tallied in his column.
It does not get tallied in the Romney column, nor in the Obama column. It gets tallied in the Goode column. That's the fact.
The homosexual agenda has a source:
http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
If for no other reason than the abovementioned, it should be opposed.
The presidential election is not about a single issue...seems like we are nearly always faced with the choice of the lesser of two evils, from local elections up.
What can we do to oppose anyone who supports the sin of homosexualty? Pray for them and keep making the truth known in as many ways as God gives opportunities: write letters, post on boards such as this, talk to others, speak the truth in love...
Ew!
The “Just Say Yes” drives the point home.
Yes, to say that homosexuality is genetically determined is just to get their foot in the door: To garner sympathy and to win rights as a class of “disabled” persons in need of protection.
The real goal is a society which is polymorphous and without any boundaries.
This of course would exclude Mitt Romney.
And this piece from the Telegraph is exactly why the left and gays want to stamp out Christianity: They want a world where there are NO objective moral standards.
Don’t have anal sex. The government hates competition.
A Conservative vote for Goode or any other third party candidate is one less vote Obama needs to win your state. Given your state is Ohio, third party votes could be enough to give Obama another term.
Then what happens to this stand against the homosexual agenda? There will be NOTHING to stop Obama from using executive orders to get what he wants, and you'll get everything you're opposing.
As someone pointed out, we need Romney to stop Obama, and a Conservative Congress to stop Romney.
But even if you can't bring yourself to vote for Romney, I would still suggest voting for Conservatives in Congress, and voting with you purchasing power by avoiding companies that cater to the homosexual agenda to the best of your ability.
You dare to apply common sense?!!!
Seriously, "slightly less aggressive" is an understatement. There's a lot of misinformation (and outright lies) being posted on the web regarding Romney's actions in Massachusetts.
During the "gay marriage" battle in Massachusetts, Romney stood with the Catholic bishops and traditional family groups in support of a marriage amendment defining marriage as the union of one man with one woman.
"Taking on Governor Mitt Romney and the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, 165 prominent business and civic leaders are publicly calling for the Legislature to reject a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
The group, which includes leading bankers, healthcare executives, lawyers, and leaders of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, has purchased an ad in The Boston Globe that says the amendment would ``take away rights." It urges lawmakers to ``move on to other important issues like strengthening the economy, improving our schools, and protecting our neighborhoods."
The signers include Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his wife, Myra; real estate developer Robert Beal; Mayor Thomas M. Menino; chamber president Paul Guzzi, and more than 20 members of the chamber's board of directors; architect Graham Gund; author Robert B. Parker; venture capitalist Richard M. Burnes Jr.; Boston Foundation president Paul S. Grogan; and Stacey Lucchino, who is married to Red Sox chief executive Larry Lucchino.
The ad, which is being paid for by the advocacy group MassEquality, will run on Monday, two days before a scheduled vote on Beacon Hill."
One of several reasons I won’t be voting Romney.
Lets see, I get it, you really don’t like Romney..
I’m sorry, but I can not just sit here reading this nonsense without saying something.. You my FRiend, have done something that I find hard to say, I am ashamed that I have to be on the same team with someone that makes me wince with revolution, when reading your comments on my favorite website..
I am not thrilled with my choice in this election cycle, much like the last, but Romney is a decent man, and a fine representative of my ideals of how to conduct oneself as a husband and father, as well as an American citizen..
To have you degrade him because of YOUR personal angst re: his political stand on topics that you hold dear, is, frankly demeaning, disgusting, and degrading to all of us..
I expect those kind of comments to be a level of conduct I have grown to expect on a Liberal site not here..
However, I believe in the 1st amendment, and your right to say whatever you wish, I just want to be excluded from your vile behavior..
A verse some of our conservative friends need to read. Without a basis and structure in social conservatism as its first priority, the efforts of the Republican Party will be in vain. As we are now seeing.
I agree with your post #35.
If Romney thinks that being labeled a homosexual is an insult, then let him publicly say so.
He seems to think that homosexual sex is a good thing and that the right to bugger men is as inalienable as the right to life.
Oh wait, Romney thinks Abortion is a woman’s inalienable right.
Don’t permit radicals and the government to socially engineer society, marriage and family around anal and oral sex.
Romney was too amoral and sleazy (aka, progressive) to stand up to the radical left’s anti-life and anti-family agenda while Gov. Creating in the image and likeness of Sodom was popular, he explains.
What I don’t get is his betrayal of boys. Here he is, the father of adorable boys who became the grandfather of adorable boys, yet even given the knowledge of the extent of homo boy rape in the Scouts, he demanded the scouts keep open the boys’ tents to homos. He’s not stupid. That leaves evil.
It’s really a shame the GOP did this to our country in our hour of most dire need. Oh well. It’s what they did. Nothing we can do to prop them up in Mitt Sodom’s goo of dead babies and bath house mess.
His statement indicates that he supports the Scouts' right to freedom of association.
How about trusting God instead of any mere man.
Last night my husband and I ran into someone who use to work for him at STRATCOM (Offutt) We asked how and what she was doing since she retired. She told us she was coming clean and she was volunteering for the election; the democrats. She said everyone was so “republican” and felt she had to hide her politics (my husband corrected her and laughed and said you mean you're embarrassed to admit your a democrat)
My mom knew her from a few Christians functions, so I had to ask her how her faith could allow her to vote with a party and politicians who thinks abortion and homosexual marriage is ok. She said she agrees abortion and homosexual marriage is wrong, but believed since Obama won God wanted him in there. She quoted the scripture that said that God chooses our leaders. I told her I agree, but sometimes He allows certain evil leaders as punishment.
I then got serious and reminded her we will be held accountable for the power we give these politicians. I told her that 50,000 million babies have died and now homosexual activist are targeting our kids and changing what God ordained as sacred; marriage. She agrees that is wrong, but said that she is VOTING FOR THE LESSOR OF TWO EVILS. Where have I heard that before? She thinks the world is coming to an end very soon, for sure if Romney is president. This woman has a masters degree I think in engineering and seemed so intelligent. She asked me if I had seen how red the moon was the other night and that was a sign of the end. She is black and I think that and her church has formed her political beliefs.
I told her I am standing with God and will not vote for anyone who is pro-abortion or gay marriage, besides so many other things they stand for that is wrong; so I am not voting for Obama or Romney. I asked her what she thought would happen if every Christian, those who truly wanted God to heal our land; those who are willing to stand against the worlds values for God; how would the world change? That would mean we would have to humble ourselves and pray God's will and not our own. My words were never angry or confrontational and I tried to speak in love, and I think I did. She said she had to leave, and wished us well.
This is why the country and the world is in such trouble. We Christians won't give up our idols and put God first. Not that I am perfect, but being part of something so evil as abortion and homosexual marriage is so outside God's will, I don't understands people fearing Obama or anyone more than God. God help us and our kids.
Nominated for post of the day ... LMAO!!!
“...I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation”
Hmmm.
So now you're calling him a "pervert"?
Not a shred of evidence for such a charge.
Calumniate: to make false and malicious statements about; slander
So is a non-vote for Romney. We don't have choice between good and evil this election.
“We can help turn back the homosexual tide this year by opposing any candidate of either party who caves into the demands of the homosexual activists and who refuses to affirmatively support traditional family structures and values.”
I agree with this statement, but this will not turn back the tide. The real battle is not in the political realm, it is in the hearts and minds of Americans in general and homosexuals in particular. The gay agenda cannot be defeated in the voting booth, all our political victories are hollow because they harden the hearts of the homosexuals instead of opening them up for Christ. Converting a single homosexual to the light is more significant than passing a Federal Marriage Amendment.
Remember Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sounds like you’re trying to drum up votes for 3rd party and siphon votes away from Romney/Ryan. - Who the heck is GOODE; OR JOHNSON; ? They won’t win; aren’t trying to win.
Vote for who you like by all means; and allow us to do the same. - Ross Perot gave us the Clintons; and in retrospect, Ross Perot was in it for Clinton’s benefit and seemed more vengeful against Bush than anything.
“We go to war with the army we’ve got, not the army we wish we had,”
RIGHT! Perot played spoiler for the Clintons; and now we’re stuck with those two from now on. Hillary and Bill both are hand in glove with the Obama/Soros agenda and Bill’s excesses paved the way for what we’ve got now. I’M JUST GONNA PRAY AND DO THE BEST I CAN.
Naw, Bill used ta say that Hillary got more p#$$y than he did - who’d want chubby old Monica when you could get Houma?
