That's what you all of you are. Quoting...S-H-E-E-P. That's what you all of you are. Quoting from the bible, and arguing about what "god" wants as if "god" didn't belong in the same category as The Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny, Juno, Nepture, Zeus, Santa Claus, and Tinker Bell. HELLO!!!! THEY'RE NOT REAL! WAKE THE EFF UP and start living your life the best way that YOU know how to. Not the way some book tells you to. Damn! You people are ignorant.<BR/>Try reading some truly enlightening books by people who actually USE their brains to THINK, instead of filling it with "isms" and regurgitating ignorant nonsense that was taught to them by people regurgitating what was taught to them, none of whom ever stopped to research ANYTHING.<BR/><BR/>Do you ever wonder why religion is handed down to you to the exclusion of all rational thought? Do you never question the answer to the question WHY? Religion is the oldest brain washing technique there is. They tell you something that flies in the face of all rational thought and when you ask for proof they say you must simply have faith or you're a bad person. Or worse yet, you're threatened with HELL. They lie to you about a god that no one could prove, then they lie to you about a punishment that doesn't exist. They ostracize you if you question it, and they groom you to do the same thing to your own children.<BR/><BR/>Please!!! Before you say another word in a public forum, educate yourselves. Read:<BR/><BR/>The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins<BR/><BR/>Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism by David Mills<BR/><BR/>Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris<BR/><BR/>The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by Sam Harris<BR/><BR/>And a final word to allaboutnothin who asked:<BR/>Why would you boycott someone just because they disagree with this lifestyle? The answer:<BR/>Because that person supports and enables the individuals and/or institutions that continue to LEGISLATE the INEQUALITY that AFFECTS the lives of millions of gay and lesbian citizens, that's why. Boycotting is the only power that gay and lesbian people have right now. When gay people are free to enjoy all the civil rights granted to the rest of the population, then Prince could say whatever the hell he wants to, and no-one would give a damn what he thought. ****It's not merely a "difference of opinion" when a group with one opinion has power over the group with the other opinion.**** Kind of like when most Americans considered black people not fully human citizens and legislated away their freedoms. People in power are so self-absorbed that they will hand over no right or privilege unless coerced. That's why gay and lesbian rights must be FEDERALLY MANDATED by the SUPREME Court. That's how blacks earned their equality and that's how gays will eventually get it.<BR/><BR/>Here's a great quote I found on the internet: "We can no longer afford to be respectful and tolerant of others' religious beliefs when those beliefs could do us all in".<BR/><BR/>DeniseThe Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602423571099174828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-27952967987027278742008-12-12T08:48:00.000-05:002008-12-12T08:48:00.000-05:00I've been lurking on this blog for a while, and ev...I've been lurking on this blog for a while, and even posted once. With all of this talk about gay straight, trans, and intersex, gender versus biology, why are so many posters quick to label Prince as gay or a closeted queen? The way I see it, LGBT people are NO different from straight people when it comes to their assessment of people who are either different or somehow a threat or in opposition to them.<BR/><BR/>For one, I'm a Christian who feels that homosexuality is a sin. But I read this blog, not because I'm gay obsessed or whatever label you wish to put on me as some kinda ironic put-down, but because I realize that at the end of the day I DON'T want to be one of those people just spewing bible verses without making a concerted effort to get to know people, their causes, and concerns. (Sorry if I'm insulting you or making you feel like some kinda lab experiment). So one thing I DEFINITELY feel I have learned or rather, GATHERED from this site, is that you view sexuality and gender identity as being on a continuum. I can actually get down on that (meaning I tend to agree). Just because someone is stereotypically gay, doesn't make it true and vice-versa. And don't get me started on the whole bi-sexual leanings! You can accept that a person can be 10% gay and 90% straight if that what they say and it doesn't matter if they feel they're a woman born in a man's body or some combination of a man and woman, you say everyone is welcomed and accepted for who they are. And I THOUGHT stereotypes were what this community was against no matter who they are directed toward. So again, I understand WHY a "less enlightened" straight community may deem Prince as fruity, by why is the gay community no better? Why can't he be hetero but simply like or have a fetish for a particular style and/or behavior associated with being queer or gay? Why are you (the posters) labeling him as a self-hating closeted gay simply because he says something you don't like? <BR/><BR/>I always am told that I'm inherently a bigot for believing, in what is my opinion, the Word of God, and it's stance on homosexuality. Pretty I can read the book VERBATIM without inserting my own opinion and I'm a gaybasher! I've even caught myself feeling some kinda "hetero guilt" for previously making uneducated assumptions and judgments on LGBT. But I'm working on that. I want, if I have to open my mouth for or against gays, that it be not simply because the Bible told me so. But I guess in the end you guys were right to fight for equality, you're JUST like EVERYONE else. You talk a good game of acceptance and tolerance of pretty much ALL behavior/lifestyles whether one agrees with or not, yet the same things you get angry with straights for doing to ya'll, you do it right back when you don't agree with a person's religious stance or personal belief. You find somehow to belittle them, which I don't see how that makes the situation any better. <BR/><BR/>I guess I'll continue to lurk for now. Don't be mad at me cuz I don't agree, or may never agree. It's just the type of person I am. I like knowledge and like to know what others around the world and country believe and think and maybe if I'm lucky, I get a glimpse of the WHY of it all. Believe me, as a black female, moderate Democrat, I've been known to go on white supremacists websites just to see how the "other side" lives. Knowledge can only free and empower you. <BR/><BR/>PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-50545269506806251252008-11-22T11:59:00.000-05:002008-11-22T11:59:00.000-05:00Another thought here folks....look on the previous...Another thought here folks....look on the previous blog posting and see if you see youself in this.

Nevertheless, the truth stands: The Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin. Let's look at what it says.<BR/><BR/> Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."<BR/><BR/> Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"<BR/><BR/> 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."<BR/><BR/> Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."<BR/><BR/> Homosexuality is clearly condemned by the Bible. It goes against the created order of God. He created Adam and then made a woman. This is what God has ordained and it is what is right. Unlike other sins, homosexuality has a severe judgment administered by God Himself. This judgment is simple: They are given over to their passions. That means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins (Romans 1:18ff). As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance and trusting in Jesus. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-67480218310588665682008-11-19T21:26:00.000-05:002008-11-19T21:26:00.000-05:00Oh stop with the 'homophobia' nonsense...... call ...Oh stop with the 'homophobia' nonsense...... call it as it is - "sin-o-phobia".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-11143088825476112392008-11-19T21:25:00.000-05:002008-11-19T21:25:00.000-05:00To 'photohand' - you should actually r-e-a-d the C...To 'photohand' - <BR/><BR/>you should actually r-e-a-d the Constitution and you will discover that you have been repeating what other people have told you regarding that entire 'church/state' theory.<BR/><BR/>The words "separation of church and state" is not even MENTIONED in the Constitution <BR/><BR/>Read it for yourself -<BR/>http://biblelight.net/bill-of-rights.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
