Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who has faced widespread condemnation for agreeing to speak at a conference alongside Christian conservatives who have denounced homosexuality and gay rights, used his speech to the group on Friday to warn of the costs of intolerance.

His remarks in Orlando, Fla., not far from the site of the massacre at a gay nightclub in June, were his most extensive yet in public on the subject of prejudice against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. And he struck a notably softer tone than during his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, during which he repeatedly reaffirmed his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who has faced widespread condemnation for agreeing to speak at a conference alongside Christian conservatives who have denounced homosexuality and gay rights, used his speech to the group on Friday to warn of the costs of intolerance.

So his solution is to basically piss off everyone by going to the conference and giving a speech that passes judgement on the people attending? Way to go, Rubio.

Meanwhile the strongly anti-homo father of the Orlando terrorist appears together with Hillary Clinton and the Times thinks it is all a lot of distraction that Hillary herself doesn’t need to denounce.

What other parts of the Bible are we to give up. Rubio deceptively equates believing/following Biblical rules of conduct with intolerance.

Okay, little Marco, what do gays have to give up to show tolerance to Christians?

[onedoug]

Rubio’s a homo?

[Maudeen]

According to the Bible, what is the cost of tolerance?

[LouAvul]

Rubio's argument is with God in heaven and Jesus Christ His son. In the Old Testament, homosexuals were order to be executed. In the New Testament, Paul (Romans 1) said homosexuals were worthy of death. (Some surmise he's referring to the Second Death which is eternity in hell.)

The Bible says, I believe it, and that ends it.

He’s going after gays and their threat when we have people in this country trying to get sharia law in effect and are openly kliling people based upon their religious ideals? I have a little problem with priority here based upon trying to pander votes. Did intelligence recently leave or has political correctness been re-divided?

Christians have a right to say what they think and of what the Bible teaches.

Homosexuality is frowned upon because men really like sex, which causes sexually transmitted diseases to spread far more rapidly among homosexuals than among heterosexuals.

When the Bible was written, there were no effective treatments for sexually transmitted diseases, so avoidance of very dangerous behaviors was recommended by religious authorities.

Yeah go get em foam boy

[tiki]

I nor anyone I know is intolerant of Gays. I am intolerant of their lifestyle. I have never persecuted a gay person, okay, only once and I didn’t know he was gay I just thought he was a dirtbag, he hadn’t come out of the closet yet.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

You are correct, they have been tolerated for a long time. Now we have forced governmental acceptance by our thought control commissars. If you do not comply you will be destroyed.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Where Have You Been of course he’s a homo

Marco is doing his best to diminish the kindness of Christians after the Pulse Club shooting.

[ravenwolf]

Marco Rubio like many others holds the belief that stating opinions is the same as judgement, this is mans doctrine but is not exactly what jESUS said.

Saying you do not like a thief is not judging the thief, if the thief gets caught the jury will judge the rascal.

But the goverment has legalized queerdom so it will be God who does the judging.

I do not want a queer trying to get kids in the back alleys, i hate it so for that reason i do not like them.

I do not like for dogs to lick babies in the face because they eat manure and lick each others butts.

The gay massacre in Orlando was not perpetrated by Christian Conservatives. It was committed by a Hillary Clinton supported, known wolf radical Islamic whose dad is a fully accepted Clinton advocate.

Christian conservatives consider the lives of homosexuals to be of sacred value. Just because we say that the guilt of sin separates them from God does not make them different from any other person whose guilt of sin separates them from God.

That guilt can only find atonement in the sacrificed blood of God’s perfect Lamb, His perfect Son, who did nothing wrong so did not deserve death, and this wrongful death makes Him able to forgive others’ sins.

Like 0bummer’s got his public “beard” (wife/family), Rubio has his wife/family to conceal it.

[Parmy]

Then, one can wonder why he is not the Presidential nominee.

[little jeremiah]

He has a “checkered” past...

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I got a call, not a robo call, but a real live person from Marco's campaign, asking if I'd work for Marco again. Not only did I tell him NO, but told him I was voting for Beruff. He got just a bit indignant after that. LOL I fought long and hard to get Marco elected in '10 when he ran against Crist and he won. Then the dirty bastage went to D.C., drank the swamp water, and betrayed everything he told me, face to face, about amnesty.

FMR!!!!
