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.

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.
