All my pain is gone, and I am now a happy bunny thanks to the wonders of medical science! Now I don’t have myself to worry about any more, I thought I would ‘lash out’ at the opressors who oppose our rights.
Which is such a shame
Which is why I’m here, to try to get people to realise that rights are universal.All my pain is gone, and I am now a happy bunny thanks to the wonders of medical science! Now I don’t have myself to worry about any more, I thought I would ‘lash out’ at the opressors who oppose our rights.
I’m glad you feel you are not in pain. I will continue to pray for you.

My friend, if ever a statement went without saying, it is this one. Your agenda is transparent, your chances of changing the mind of a person with a fully formed conscience, nil.
“Rights are universal.” What does that mean, exactly? Who defines the rights?
Actually, I’d say it’s the Christian position. However, even Christian’s are changing and trying to become “modern” to stay “in tune with the times”. The Catholic Church has never changed it’s position on faith and morals. And it never will. There’s a reason for that: TRUTH…Once the truth is revealed, it’s there to stay. For us to hang on to whether we completely understand it or not. For us to believe in an authority higher than ourselves.
Thanks but that’s really not neccessary…
If my agenda is transparent, grreat. I want everybody to know that I am for gay rights.
“Rights are legal or moral entitlements or permissions.” Nobody “defines” them as such, Rights are part of an important base for society. Without rights, laws tend to loose their meaning. (As an example, we all have the right to decide if we want to engange in sexual activity or not, thus rape is illegal) Saying that “Rights are universal” means that everybody should have the same basic rights, regardless of arbitary things such as age, race, gender and indeed sexual orientation.
Yes, but that was an obvious mistake in hindsight. People change, views change, their beliefs change, and of course we gain more knowledge & understanding about ourselves and our surroundings. Society changes to reflect that.
If we allow marriage, why not gay marriage? Gay marriage is not the same as polygamy and the arguments are different. This discussion is on gay marriage, not polygamy. If you change the definition of marriage to include more than 2 people, then things get frightfully complicated. (Note that I’m not saying it’s wrong because it’s complicated, just that it is too complicated to discuss here). On the other hand, inclusion of homosexual couples won’t change it much at all from what it is already, since the ideas of marriage as it currently stands (in the legal sense at least) can be applied to homosexual couples without any confusion.
Not always. My morals are based on what causes harm and what doesn’t.
“A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it.”
please note I am only being offensive to make a point. Does the Klan have the right to insult leaders of the communities with which they are in colflict by making references between those leaders and lesser species? I hope you answer no. This conduct is a vile demonstration of hate and an insult. Gay activity is offensive and is likewise the same form of insult when used in association with terms dear to the hearts of us.All my pain is gone, and I am now a happy bunny thanks to the wonders of medical science!

So, what you’re saying is that the whole world has been making a mistake about marriage since the beginning of time (i.e. thousands of years) and not just since the time of Christ? (i.e. the past 2000 years.)
This is where I pull the part of the New Testament that states : soon there will be no distinction between male and female" I’ll find the actual text and passage to validate this. but I have two dad’s and I would consider myself perfectly normal. In a society where people believe that protecting Britney Spears’ 15 minute white trash marriage (but she was on drugs and she is a little better now so no disrespect) is better than letting two men who have been together for 30+ years are evil. Anyway, my parents have totally different personalities. There also not “promiscuous” like many people say all gays are. They love me. They put food on the table. And you must be completely brain dead to think that a child will not have both male and female influence if his/her parents are both the same gender. Think school teachers, policemen, peers, coworkers, CCD teachers. They all come in different genders and will surely have a role in a child’s life so that they can distinguish between a male and a female, cause thats soooooo hard (sarcasm). I’m sorry because I think I’m being a tad bit mean and being carried away. What I believe is that if you hate gays or dislike gays, your saying that to Jesus and God too. You have failed to release yourself from the ignorance of the scriptures, which is ignorance of Christ. And people think that gay marriage is against “traditional values” when after Christ’s time there were Christian gay weddings and homosexual weddings and acts weren’t criminalized until way after. Surely Jesus would have said something against homosexuals when it was rampant during his time. But I believe a progay thing Jesus said was about the born eunuch. Anyway, I have two dad’s and I know the different personalities of men and women. I have had female and male witnesses in my life. I am Catholic. I am abstinent. I thank God that I have loving parents. I get good grades. I believe nobody is perfect, everyone has sinned. I believe in forgiveness. I believe in love. I believe in Jesus. And I apologize to those I have offended with my post, if I have offended anyone.
What I don’t understand is why people equate “discrimination” and “hatred” with the belief that are shared/discussed/preached about certain things being sinful.
If you’re alluding to Paul’s Letter about the universality of Christ’s message and the seamlessness of his Mystical Body, wow do you misunderstand this passage. (Galatians 3:28?)
first off, an interpretation can’t be wrong, it’s an interpretation. Also, I know that it doesn’t mean there is no gender, we can all sleep with whoever, so why don’t you stop assuming, because you know what people who assume make themselves? Anyhows, what I meant is we are all God’s children,
I never mentioned that everyone who thinks something is a sin is full of hate, and I never mentioned discrimination. Born eunuchs is…Matthew 19:12 “For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”
This expresses the heart of the matter I think. When we reshape law, especially law surrounding deeply rooted social structures like marriage and the family we are precasting the form that will shape the consiences of future generations.
You are assuming facts not in evidence, such as gay Christian marriages. Not all gays are promiscuous, just as all blacks are not promiscuous. But marriage has become an anomaly among blacks and it has always been one among homosexuals. Marriage was designed to curb the tendency of males to hit and run, to curb the sexual competition to which we are prone, and to cause them to take care of their progeny. Monogamous, life-long marriage is a Christian ideal that is at the heart of the marriage law of European nations. But it was a develoment of the Jewish experience, where the law defined women’s rights even as it subordinated them to males. And Jesus’s prohibition of divorce was central to his conception of marriage.
Where in the world do you get your information? An interpretation can indeed by objectively wrong. Scriptural interpretation as to textual meaning (vs. scripture as prayer, or scripture as having some historical content) is based on certain principles, just as is true for other kinds of literature. I’m leaving faith outside of it for a minute. Just literary interpretation. Valid interpretative tools include anthropology, genre, and more. Do not fool yourself that because interpreters arrive at different conclusions about the same scriptural passages, that no systematic approach is involved, or that it’s all “personal” and subjective.
Hence exogesis and eisogesis.
Do you know what a eunuch is? It’s someone born without genitals. It has nothing to do without them being homosexual. Look “eunuch” up in the dictionary…
Exactly. (But it’s exegesis with no “o’s”.)
