And by the way, I’ve let you slide in omitting my whole comment/question, but for those who don’t remember, this was the total statement *note it was about every situation of extreme pda:
Please, quote me correctly next time.
I would call it normal too. And as I said upstream, I find same sex PDA more distasteful and uncomfortable than “straight” PDA but I consider that MY problem.Of course it would. I would call that normal.
Can you please explain how a Baptist group falls into “mortal sinners”.
I omitted the “in front of children” as it wasn’t relevant to the discussion. I take issue with your characterization, not the fact that you are uncomfortable with PDA in front of children.
Well, I have never seen a non-Catholic Christian group with t-shirts on saying who they are in public. The only religious t-shirts I see in public are of Jesus on the cross with the words “No Pain, No Gain” on them, or similar shirts (which I happen to own a few myself).

Thanks for pointing that out.
It’s interesting that Bill’s whole comment was:
…and then he omitted the part of the quote where you applied the same comment to all possible groups. Kind of negates the whole point he was trying to make. My judgement is that that’s pretty openly dishonest.
and you omitted that it was about women with women, men with men and women with men.
Well to answer your question. I’m not gay I like guys but I don’t go around hanging on guys in public and telling everyone who will listen how much I like guys and neither do I push an ajenda out there all the time.
By definition they are (and deliberately remain) outside of the Church. By definition they hold (and attempt to induce in others through evangilization!) heretical doctrines. They NEVER meet their Sunday obligation and they have never been to confession so ANY mortal sins they have committed since Baptism are unforgiven. how can they NOT be mortal sinners?
Now we get to the heart of then matter!
Could you kindly refer me to the post?

Yep. My mistake. I didn’t see the parenthetical part. I wasn’t intentionally dishonest. Just hasty. I apologize.
No, actually, I’ve heard children ask, “why are they sticking their tongues in each other’s mouths?” You should be grateful that you have not heard this question from the young.
Of course they are trying to “recruit” them. Not recruit them to be gay, but to accept gay activity as normal. If 3-4 year old kids see men holding hands and dressing/acting like woman every time they go out in public, the behavior will be NORMAL to them when they are adults. That is why they are targeting family vacation destinations, parks, schools…I just read in the paper that my local city (Akron) is part of some “family event” to raise money for the GAY OLYMPICS coming to my city in 2013. This IS about recruiting children…recruiting them to accept homosexuality as as normal, acceptable part of society. By the time this generation of kids is grown, they will be completely LOST.

What response would you advocate to seeing Same Sex Couple in public?
This is the same reason that the only pro-life people that make it onto the news are the nutjobs who want to bomb abortion clinics. It’s ALWAYS the loud/freaky people that make it into the public view. Where I grew up, there was a lesbian couple down the street, I saw them out and about places but NEVER saw them do anything inappropriate with one another. In fact, I don’t think I knew they were a lesbian couple until I was 14 or 15, and they lived down the street from us the entire time we lived there, and I was 8 when we moved in.
Apparently you only want to address the comments that you think AREN’T addressing your questions. As I responded to every. single. part. of your post.
Your responses are getting to the point of ridiculous. Honestly. Do you REALLY think anyone here is advocating ANY kind of violence. And if you do, can you please point to a post that you think insinuates it?
Ah, well I can only plead that I was otherwise occupied. Let’s see:
I assure that in my part of the country you can swing a dead cat in the summer without running into a gaggle of tee-shirted youths, from (generally Protestant) church groups at virtually any recreational facility or venue. From CNN center, to Stone Mountain to the Braves games. Simply by being Protestant these folks are objectively in mortal sin (their individual culpability is of course far beyond our ken and based on their own level of knowledge etc). If you’re not just as upset by Bugtussle Baptist Church Youth Day at Stone Mountain, as you are at Gay Day at Stone Mountain. Then I would ask why?
Both of these behaviors are objectively sinful. But I’ve never seen anyone post on this board that their vacation was ruined because “such and such place” served say cheeseburgers, or that they saw people eating steaks on a Lenten Friday.
I never said anyone was wrong to be upset when forced to witness sin. My question is an effort to determine whether individuals who claim to be upset when “forced to witness sin” are upset with ALL sins they witness? or only some?
You understand that I’m asking about violence because society has used violence in the past to attempt to stop homosexual behavior. In fact, several countries still inflict the death penalty for homosexual behavior.
This is my question. EXACTLY HOW do we stop accepting it as “normal”
I didn’t say ANYONE wanted to beat Gays. I asked how far you’re willing to go?But, just because the rest of us here don’t want our children to see it, that doesn’t make us hateful, evil, people who want to beat gays.
