First of all I want to say that were I a resident of California, I would have voted "no" on Proposition 8. In other words, I am in favor of gay marriage. However, I get the feeling the homosexual community believes they now have a monopoly on non race related discrimination. Excuse me, but last time I paid for a sandwich I didn't see any catchy pro-heterosexual slogans on my money. "I'll have a turkey club on whole-wheat and a small soda. Four-fifty, no problem, let me just pull out a five spot with, 'Sex Between a Man and Woman Feels Great!' printed to the right of Honest Abe's nose.

I saw a protester sign the other day that said “Gay is the new black”. FWIW.
The squeaky wheel gets the Vaseline, as it were.
Being Republican in Hollywood is the new gay.
I know, many gays claim to be Christians but their lifestyle CHOICE excludes them. They may “repent” but they keep on “sinning” instead of “sin no more”. So these illusions of being a “Christian” are absurd. Their “choice” defies the role God had in mind for them and speaks of their “choice” as an abomination - hardly what a “Christian” should repeatedly chose as a “life style choice”.
And we don’t want to pursue where ... .
No, we do not...
Actually there are antitheist atheists who spout hate and certianly the gaystapo activists have engaging in violence and vandalism against people of Christian faith since the Prop 8 vote.
Do we want the State uttering words over us in Last Rites? Especially words like, "pay up"?
You can be homosexual and Christian. We are all sinners. Some want to change church teachings ON their sins and say rather than “sin no more” that they are “no more sins”.
If it squeeks to loud and too often, the squeeky wheel gets replaced as being too damn annoying.
We all fall short. I suspect the big difference is that those of us in FR recognise our sins as being wrong, struggle to overcome them...and aren't out in parades trying to convince confused underaged kids that they really should just relax and imitate us.
Second attempt to respond to this crap. The first was way too long.
Are you sure this is satire?
1 - We are a majority Christian nation and POTUS-elect claims to be a Christian. Deal with it.
2 - IGWT won’t be removed from the money until/unless the nation has been secularized. That is: the majority reject supernaturalism in all forms (from angels to Zoroastrianism). That will take a very long time. You’re putting the cart before the horse.
3 - Most gays are atheists.
4 - Hate crime laws are thought crime. If someone is kicking your ass, they don’t like you very much.
5 - Being an atheist doesn’t have a damn thing to do with being a liberal.
Still not sure if this is satire. A lot of atheists are actually this whiny.
Oh, yeah: I’m an atheist.
Um...I don’t think this is satire. I think he’s serious.
I am a non-practicing atheist, unorthodox, if you will.
LOL! No they aren't "Christians".
Yes, they want God to conform to THEIR world. It doesn't work that way.
When you REPENT, you change your ways. To constantly “repent” and go on “sinning” is not what God is looking for. Notice each time Christ forgives someone, He says “sin no more”.
I suppose they want to believe when someone tells you, “I won't steal again” and continues to make stealing a way of life a “Christian”. God doesn't buy into that one either. he is also very clear on what He finds an “abomination” to be and that is and always will be homosexuality.
The idea that we all sin is wears thin when you have a “sinner” repeating the SAME offense over and over again with no change at all. We are supposed to try an imitate Him knowing we will fall short but not even trying to change is where they go awry. Clearly it is not a “repenting” and “sin no more” that is going on.
They need to give God some credit instead of insulting Him! He's NOT stupid or some door mat. They aren't Christians - they're HUMANISTS. Christ knows their hearts and repeated disobedience shows they do not love Him.
In fact for people like that, He has this to say to them:
Luke.13:24-27
[24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
[25] When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
[26] Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
[27] But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
What a very sad day that will be for them. But they are insisting on having God conform to their ways rather than this:
Rom.12:2
[2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
No you can't.
“Let’s examine the struggles we atheists go through on a daily basis: Reading about all the past theist leaders of America in our history books, our future progressive President choosing to exclude us at the conclusion of his speeches to the country, the money we exchange for goods and services being plastered with religious phrases, and having to watch nearly every sports figure in America point to their god in thanks after doing something good on the playing surface.”
Oh wow...I never realised just how much of a strain being an atheist was! Good grief, having to read about the great historical figures of the past, not ONE of which had the sense to not believe in God! And having to see people pray or acknowledge God at athletic meets and football matches! I mean does it never end? And then all those religous phrases plastered on the money...well, the one sort of affirmation anyway...but gracious that’s bad enough! And as for all of the presidents...well how DARE they say what they believe and thereby offend the 1% of the population who are Atheists! It makes me sick to my stomach. It really does.
Do I really need a /sarc?
Why not?
You can be a murderer and a Christian. You can be a thief and a Christian. You can be a liar and a Christian, you can be an adulterer and a Christian. All those things are sins, and sure, a Christian should shun sin and fight against the temptations of this world. But we all fail, and we all fall. That is, after all, why we need a saviour.
LOL...I like that...thats really good! Well done!
