Obama administration investigating sergeant who said the Bible condemns homosexuality

The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has launched a federal investigation over a conversation between a Huntsville JROTC instructor and a lesbian student about the Bible and homosexuality.

Last April, Virgil Grissom High School student Taylor Sisk, 15, asked a local homosexual activist to file a complaint on her behalf after 1st Sgt. Lynn Vanzandt allegedly told her that he believed the Bible says homosexuality is a sin. It is unclear how the conversation began.

Sisk, who leads her school’s Gay-Straight Alliance club, claimed she was talking to another girl about wanting to live in San Francisco when Vanzandt made his remarks. Other witnesses have said the girls directly asked Vanzandt his opinion on homosexuality. Sisk claimed they then asked him to stop talking about it and, when he refused, her friend ran crying from the room.

I don't guess these communists and athiests that run Obamagabe's DOE have ever heard of the Bible, which certainly condemns homosexual acts. But in today's society speaking the truth will land you in jail.

I would not advise my children to join the US military at this time, or the foreseeable future.

The homos and the liberals know that to destroy America they have to destroy the Army, too. They’re doing a good job of attacking it.

Think optimistically, perhaps given the pro fag anti normal agenda war he is fighting, he is being considered for a battle field commission.

The Fluken feds don’t have anything better to do than to “investigate” some little spoiled princess’ whineyass complaint because somebody told her to grow up and stop being a spoiled brat sexual deviant wannabe. I guess the feds think that they have solved the economy, jobs and illegal immigration problems. Time for them to stick their lardasses in someone else’s business and to intimidate them and fill them with fear of losing their job. I hate fascist Nazis.

Golly gee.... I guess bathouse Barry has never heard of Leviticus 20:13. It would certainly cramp his style in those bars filled with middle age white men in Chicago.

The DOE is a huge jobs program for liberals, an affirmative action hiring hall. Stuffed full of useless liberals and gays. Gays adore these fabulous fabulous Federale jobs. This why the Federale Gov’t is so effed and dysfunctional and oppressing the normal people of America

Total ripoff of the taxpyers

Direct such individuals to the appropriate Biblical passages and turn the question around. Ask them if they believe the Bible condemns homosexual behavior.

If they’re capable of reading, the correct answer is evident. This shows them the truth while keeping you from being caught up in the intended result of such a baiting, political question.

If anyone thinks “gay marriage” isn’t going to be used to try to force churches to marry homosexuals, they’re delusional.

It isn't hard to find arguments that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality. Any reasonable person reading them, however, will IMO reach the conclusion that the arguments are strained and inherently dishonest.

I think a more interesting discussion is that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality as greatly more evil than other sexual sins. In fact, in the NT it is generally listed as just one of numerous sins, sexual and otherwise. Right in the middle of the list.

Conservatives and Christians have, IMO, assigned a uniquely extreme sinfulness to homosexual acts that the Bible does not really support. Meanwhile, other sexual sins, which the Bible implies are similar in their degree of sinfulness, are treated by them in practice as merely venial or even not sins at all.

With Washington State passing gay marriage and legalizing pot on the same day it has been discovered that Leviticus has been interpreted incorrectly. It should read:

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them must be stoned. :-)

Protestants say that all sins are equally wrong, and Catholics (and presumably Orthodox as well) say that sexual sin is of the venial sort. The reason it appears that we assign a 'uniquely extreme sinfulness' to it is primarily because the surrounding culture has made it a hot-button issue; liars, drunks and thieves aren't organizing and trying to have their behavior given the church's mark of approval.

"...Last April, Virgil Grissom High School student Taylor Sisk, 15, asked a local homosexual activist to file a complaint on her behalf after 1st Sgt. Lynn Vanzandt allegedly told her that he believed the Bible says homosexuality is a sin..."

This student has been successfully indoctrinated and brainwashed. She was blessed to have someone speak truth to her. Her answer was to run to this 'activist' who would publicly back her up and make her feel legitimized in her sinful lifestyle. That isn't love or protection. It's lies and jumping off the cliff together morally and spiritually.

Right. That's why BJ Clinton said he never had "sex" with that woman.

Oh yeah, that's why dildos don't exist and dual oral stimulation is not sex....

OK...I understand now.

Of course the Bible condemns homosexuality. But of course, “homosexuality” is really a modern construct whicj turns same sex attractionb into a personality trait rather than the form of behavior condemned by the Bible. The Bible condemns sodomy for the same reason that it condemns adultery. It is hard to talk to people who have been filled with this idea that a homosexual is a kind of person, and that his actions are natural to him. At bottom is the notion that no expression of human desire is intrinsically evil. Christianity must be suppressed because it teaches that certain acts are sinful. Gays hate Christianity for the same reason that murderers do.
