Straight talk from Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps: “How dare we, then, exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now, something that is honorable and noble?”

“Get over it,” he said. “We’re magnificent, we’re going to continue to be. Let’s just move on, treat everybody with firmness, fairness, dignity, compassion and respect. Let’s be Marines.”

bit.ly The Command Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps addressed a group of Marines at a base in South Korea several key topics, including the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy...

No better way than to destroy decency and integrity by demoralization.

I believe the demoralization goes deeper than this one issue. America is demoralized every time it turns on the TV or the radio and experiences the filth that is popular "culture".

Why does the Bible specifically call out & condemn Male-Male sex but Woman on Woman sex is left out?

Women aren't excluded. Romans 1:26 - 28

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

28 And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

It is very specific about men being with men, but quite generic with women:
“vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature”

This could mean lots of different things, since it is a woman’s nature to give birth this could maybe even cover abortion. Or maybe it mean’s the woman engaging in anal sex? Why is there Woman lays with a woman as she would a man kind of verse? Or a verse like woman acting as if she was a man.

Before Clinton normalized oral sodomy it wasn’t so universally accepted as normal and natural. Many happily married couples do not practice oral sodomy.

It’s quite clear that the Bible is saying that men gratifying their sexual lust with other men, and women gratifying their sexual lust with other women, is sinful and unnatural. Pretty simple.

Not the way I read it. To me, the only thing that is clear is Men doing other men is prohibited. As far as women go they shouldn’t act “un-naturally” whatever that means?

Maybe the verses on women in the original Hebrew would make sense. Maybe something is being lost in the translation to english that comes out women acting against nature.

One curious thing about the Bible. Of all the worst kinds of people, the bible seems to most frequently condemn.... Not Gays but Tax Collectors!

Right with ya. My Gunny was a two tourer of Vietnam. Taught us well. Our three striper was a bit of a psycho, but again taught us well.
This goof is following orders or protecting his job.

Infecting the Marines with this kind of perversity will only handicap them. Name one of our potential adversaries that is doing this. You can’t. Because even Malaysia doesn’t play PC games with national defense.

out.

Sounds as though you don’t want to read the simple truth that’s clear as day.

And the same prohibition against unnatural sex acts is there in every religion in the world.

It’s not some sectarian historical viewpoint against some kinds of sex acts. It’s Natural Law, and it’s universal and indeed, written in the heart of everyone. That’s why fags feel guilty, their conscience - God’s voice inside - telling them that what they are doing is wrong. That’s why they want to silence everyone, they’re trying to silence that quiet voice inside their hearts. It’s also why they have such a huge rate of drugs and alcoholism - trying to silence that voice.

It seems that you want to pretend that women having sex with women is okay or something. What utter nonsense.

Nope - I just wonder why the Bible doesn’t explicitly say woman on woman is bad like it does man on man...

The biblical view of woman’s sexuality is probably a lot different than in modern times. I wonder if maybe lesbian’s didn’t exist or maybe it was so well hidden that men (all the writers of the bible were men) never imagined that women would or could engage in sex. Maybe the biblical view of sex was like Bill Clinton’s (only penetration = sex) and women lack the equipment so...

Or like I said before maybe the original Hebrew words of the Bible don’t translate as well in regards to lesbians.

But you can’t deny the bible is very explicit about male homosexuality while quite vague in regards to lesbianism.

It’s only vague in your mind, not in the words, nor in anyone elses’ mind.

I suppose it could... if God had gave you up to a reprobate mind.

>I’d bet all the money I own that this guy was ordered to give this speech in just the way he gave it.<

That was my thought as well. I would like to have been a fly on the wall in the private conversation he had with the people he trusted in the room after the public talk.
