“God made the call years ago - your argument is with Him.”

Filing that away to use at some point in the future after I make a comment about how we’ve allowed “the love that can’t speak its name” to be plastered all over every media outlet so you can’t even escape it.

Example: last night’s “Great American Christmas Baking Contest” featured one homo contestant kissing his “husband” in the opening video and another homo contestant who was eliminated in the second hour just had to tell us he was going home to snuggle with his “husband” to get over the loss. What in the Sam Hill does putting this into the program have to do with baking?? Of course, I know the answer lies behind the cameras with all the fruits on the production staff wanting to be sure to push this out on the airwaves. It’s not like we couldn’t figure it out for ourselves from the faggot bakers’ manner of speech and prancing all over the set.

...ask them all the same question about whether homosexuality is sinful. The person in the group most likely to give an answer that reflects Christian moral principles would be a Muslim in the group. That's all you need to know about the pathetic state of Christianity today.

Your comparison is flawed; Islam simply has no relationship to the state of Christianity in this regard.

Visit many of the ME Islamic tribal environments and notice the almost institutionalized, albeit informal, custom of homosexuality. Also notice the way males in such societies, if not the religion, often treat the females, surgically and otherwise. Two dots easily connected.

She appeared in town a couple of weeks ago. I worked the event. She had some local “volunteers” show up. Not sure who did the recruiting of the volunteers, except that one fellow in particular was dressed like a homeless bum and his grooming standards were, well, questionable. The venue is close to the local bum haven, the local Greyhound station. Bums will try to get inside any venue within walking distance, (there are several within walking distance of the bus station ). He cited he was a volunteer. Our staff asked for verification from her staff.

Pro tip: Providing a list of volunteers to security staff ahead of time works wonders. Any ways, her tour complained to the promoter that our staff was “rude” to her volunteers.

Hopefully she learned 2 lesson from all of this. 1. The world is not your friend. Don’t go on these shows unless you are prepared to play their games. 2. Go to a good Bible believing/teaching church and learn about your faith. If she does this she will discover how true #1 is.

You say that you like her answer to the question but you left off the first part of her answer. Here it is. Do you agree with this? I certainly don’t. It’s a flat-out lie.

I can’t honestly answer that,” Daigle replied

She’s reading a different Bible that I’ve read if she can’t ‘honestly’ answer that question. It doesn’t mean that she has to be rude and disrespectful. And it also doesn’t mean that you have to approve of her lie for an answer.

It’s all about the $$$$$. She knows God’s directives written clearly in the Bible. She doesn’t want to hurt her earning potential. We all have choices and she just made hers. Too bad.

Daigle was asked, given her recent appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show, whether she believes homosexuality is a sin.

I'd answer this way. Why are you asking me this gotcha question? Why aren't you asking me about my singing, this album or anything else? Shoo pest, you bother me.

Or, she could be telling the truth. She may not actually know what the Bible says.

But at least she knows that the answer is contained in there.

So I’m not sure I would impute ill will to her. Given the state of Biblical and theological literacy among even Bible believing Christians, she might well be telling the truth. She may not know.

Ellen and the rest of the gay show business world is the real enemy here. Ellen shouldn’t be asking these questions, and as I’ve said above, we shouldn’t play by Ellen’s rules because we don’t owe her anything since she’s not asking in good faith. She’s trying to pharasaically set a trap.

Now all that said, as I already posted, I don’t like that she says she doesn’t know. I like that she points to the Bible. (But I’m not willing to say that she lied. She likely doesn’t know, and like all of us, we come to the Bible with our own assumptions about how the world is and how God is, and then the Bible corrects us).

Just a thought. :)

That’s an important, multi-faceted, very deep and very important nuance. (While remembering that in some sense, Romans 1 is also in play here....).

Totally agree. Islam is actually very gay. It’s sickening, really, and all of this is absolutely related to the totalitarian nature of it, and their utter hatred of women.

You might be right. I'm posting this specifically from a Catholic perspective, which is very different than what you've presented as the historical pattern for Protestants.

In the U.S., the 20th Century was a period of an accelerating embrace of American culture by the Catholic Church. I can say without any hesitation that it was an unmitigated disaster for both the Catholic Church and for America.

As evidence, I simply point at the U.S. map for every presidential election over the last 25 years. Almost without exception, the areas dominated by Catholic voters are the ones that have predictably supported the candidate who is the vocal public champion for every abomination that has destroyed our social order.

No offense, and pardon my French ... but if you have any sense of morals and decency, please turn off the f#%&ing television and throw it in the trash ASAP.

My point is that the Muslim would most likely be the one who vocalized the truth about homosexuality without any hesitation.

That may be the Divine purpose of Islam, in fact. Radical Muslims are going to make the West Christian again.

right, good point.

Would you regard the closure of the film standards offices (I forget the name of the agency) in Hollywood as sort of a surrender by Catholics? When I think of the more moral presence of that era, I do tend to associate the good with Catholicism....and then...it’s gone. Wasn’t Frank Capra Catholic?

In any event...I think the perhaps a study of American Catholicism in the 20th century alongside the decline of the moral standards in America at the same time period might be informative. Then of course there’s Vatican II and everything accelerates, that much is indisputable....

Case in point:

John F. Kennedy was the first "Catholic" president of the United States.

If that guy had been arrested and charged with harboring Catholic sentiments, there wouldn't have been enough evidence to convict him.
