Worst news article of all time. Someone, anyone, shoot me now. All I can say is, I don't want to be anywhere NEAR Tennesee. Quite sickening... |

Well...it's the same county that the Scopes Trial took place at...somehow I wasn't surprised at all to read that. Yet another strike goes against the Christian Right. I've heard of people being phobic, and of crowds acting phobic...but this is ridiculous. |

Um, the article doesn't mention ANYTHING about Christians at all Dark Lord. Let's not jump to conclusions. Even if they are Christians, they're wrong in what they're doing. If they didn't want to be hypocritical, they would be after the banning of EVERYBODY in the country. Kitten Yiffer, the article didn't mention anything about religion at all. (I went over it a few times just to make sure. If I'm wrong, correct me.) Let's not assume that all atheists and agnostics are pro-gay and all religious people are homosexual haters. |

Originally posted by Legion While not directly saying religion, it did state that it was "the most conservative county in Tenessee." You're right, it's not good to assume anything. The only clear thing (to me anyway) is that this type of thing shouldn't even see the light of day. |

It really doesn't matter either way. From a non-religious point of view, it's wrong. From a Christian point of view, it's wrong. So either way ya look at it... |

Originally posted by Legion No offense Legion, but there aren't many religions besides ones based upon the words in the "Holy Bible" that would say something like "homosexuals are possessed by demons". I'm sure there are other religions that might have similar views, but considering that this is happening in Tennesee USA, common sense dictates that those people holding the signs and rallying are most likely catholic, christian, or some other offshoot of the catholic/christian faith. Why you ask, would I think that christians might be opposed to homosexuality?? Oh I don't know, maybe because their God tells them to be: "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB) 'NAB' standing for 'New American Bible'. I have a quote from the 'New King James Version' bible as well, it is slightly different: "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13) There are many more in the bible I guarantee you, but I think you get my point. Even if those people weren't rallying for religious reasons, as it sure seems they are, you can see where Dark Lord Steak is coming from. Many times in the past homosexual people have been ostracized and even killed outright by christians, including a rather famous one by the name of Adolf Hitler. This behavior sickens me to the core, even more so that the people holding those signs and protesting are no doubt raising children with their beliefs, securing us another fine generation religious bigots. |

madMonkey, I think you missed the Gay Marriage thread on this page. "Why you ask, would I think that christians might be opposed to homosexuality?? Oh I don't know, maybe because their God tells them to be:" Um, I am a Christian and I'm quite aware of what the stance is. Again, I refer you to the other thread on this page. But still, it may very well be, but that would be saying that only Christians are anti-homosexual and I think pretty much anyone will agree with me that some non-Christians are anti-homosexual as well. And if they were TRUE Christians, they wouldn't be doing this in the first place. Understand? |

Originally posted by Legion Exactly. Even though I am Christian, and believe that homosexuality is a sin, I agree that this is overkill. What I want to know is, how can they tell if they're single? One of my friends is so effeminate, you would swear he's gay. Then again, he's also had more girlfriends than the rest of my friends combined. |

"I agree that this is overkill." Not to mention hypocritical. "What I want to know is, how can they tell if they're single? One of my friends is so effeminate, you would swear he's gay. Then again, he's also had more girlfriends than the rest of my friends combined." People generally have the problem of assuming too much. |

Even most conservative Christians would be saying that this is going too far... therefore, it is unfair to say that all conservative Christians should drop dead... | |||

We talk about not jumping to conclusions...this is the county that had the friggin' Scopes Trial...the place where a guy was put on trial for teaching human origins that do not agree with what's in scripture. And now homosexuality is illegal in any form...much like the Christian Right has wanted and tried for so long...doesn't look like a jump to me at all. As for most conservative Christians thinking it being too far...I dunno about that. I happen to know a number of 'em, and I know they'd call that a victory for morality, or some such bullshit. |
