gracepoole - do you hate evil?
Yes. I hate that which is truly evil.
Perhaps you could direct me to a post of yours that was not emotional.

Please state a positive logical post for homosexual acts.
Buffalo, I fear that one of us has lost track of our conversation. I’ve been responding to an example that you provided, and that doesn’t seem to be clear (nor does it seem that any of my clarifying has had any merit).
 
It seems to me gays are only about there deviant life style, children also have a right to have a childhood without adult homosexual in there face at every turn. I see this attack on the boy scouts as away for adult homosexuals to push an agenda of deviant sex. If they have any consideration for young children they would let them be children. How many children in the club scouts or boy scouts spend there days worried about there sex life. This is about adults pushing a life style, nothing more or less.
 
This is a starting point.

Who defines evil?
I think this is significantly off topic, but I will say that I don’t believe that morality (and evil) must be solely defined by religion. So we agree that evil exists – who or what defines it is different. For the sake of those who come here to read about the BSA’s decision, perhaps we should leave it at that? Or somehow directly connect it to the BSA’s decision?

Why is it relevant? Because a society makes laws for the common good. Good laws are not evil. They are needed. Evil actions do not advance the common good.

Onto the boy scouts. Good intentions aside, the decision is very shortsighted and panders to the lobby and emotional public opinion. Homosexuals have been very successful in playing the victim card.

Believe me when I say it only a matter of time before they are sued for trying to uphold moral values.
 
I don’t think that was my post…
Noooo! Now the d’oh is all mine… :doh2:

The fault here is all mine, Buffalo. My response to Brendan’s post still stands, of course, but you’re absolutely right – it was not your post. My most humble apologies.

Thank God He still loves me even when I’m dumb. 🙂

We’ll just have to agree to disagree here. I don’t believe that homosexuals “play the victim card” for the sake of justifying evil. You do. I’d wager there is no argument on either side that could make either of us change our thinking this evening.

The evidence clearly shows this to be the case.

They don’t see it as evil. They do feel oppressed because society does not accept their actions.
 
But it is you, as well as others, who don’t want to define gays according to their sexual identity or same-sex attraction, so why are you defining them only in that way?
Please answer the following:

Prior to this decision, (A) a gay boy joins the scouts, stays for a while and leaves. (B) After this decision, a gay boy joins the scouts, stays for a while and leaves.

So, why the need for the change?

Peace,
Ed

Let’s not detract from the main point of twoshoes comment by trying to justify your post that meltzerboy had every right and reason to question.
 
I don’t understand what you mean by that question. Do you honestly believe there is nothing else to gay people besides their sexuality? As Mrs. Manicotti says in “The Honeymooners”: “I give up!”
That is what they proclaim. Look at the lawsuits. Denial of service because of sexual identity?

I don’t accept the premise. Why does a gay boy stay for a while and then leave? Maybe before this decision, a gay boy is forced to leave because he is ostracized by some of the other boys based on his appearance or mannerisms, and after this decision, that kind of behavior on the part of the other boys is not tolerated unless the gay boy behaves contrary to the rules.
