"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." I think you're under the assumption that Christians think they're perfect in every thing they do. But that's far from the truth. Trying to banish homosexuals from the country (or anything to that extreme) is wrong according to our faith. Let me elaborate a little more. In Christianity, yes homosexuality is a sin. According to us, with God no one sin is greater than any other. They all have the same consequence. Also, it says "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall recieve mercy." (Jesus said that.) With that in mind, you can clearly see that even from a Christian viewpoint, what they're doing is wrong and against our faith. They're trying to single out one sin and make it seem worse than any other which is clearly wrong. If they wanted to be more "accurate" they'd have to banish EVERYONE from the country. Christianity is based on love, and what they're doing is an act of hate. Just because someone calls himself a Christian, doesn't neccessarily mean he follows the same values he/she is expected to uphold. Many of them don't actually. |

Wasn't the Scopes trial enough for these guys? Jesus fucking Christ. Legion, not every person is as moderate or intelligent as you are about thier religion (edited by witeasprinwow on 03-19-04 03:45 PM) |

That's incredibly sick. Just a bunch of bigoted people who want to "purify" their world. *Crosses Rhea County off of places he's never heard and thus gives neutrality* *Adds to places slightly less then neutral* As for something on that subject, Read this article. I posted it on another oard many months ago, and this made me think of it. Pretty much more extreme homophobia. |

Oh geez...and things take one step worse. The hell...? Every time I read about other Christians pulling shit like this, I want to up and abandon the faith. I can't stand to think I'm mixed in with a group like this. Preaching hate in the name of the Prince of Peace. It riles me. I'll stop here before I really go off. |

xD. Yet another reason to say "stupid Americans". (Although Americans is generalizing it a bit.. would be better to say "stupid conservative people that cannot accept changes that aren't really changes at all" *cough* kd *cough*) | |||

There's a crapload of applicable bumpers stickers here about this issue, and things similar to it. And yes, conservative != bigotted. Also, liberal != not bigotted. I've met people of both varieties. |

Call off your dogs, kids. Apparently there was 1) a misunderstanding about the amendment and 2) it didn't pass anyway. I'm scared about that comment from the twelve-year old girl at the end of the article, though. Makes me kinda sad, too. |

From the article... "I think they should go further, try to see if they can ban them," she said. "It's not a Christian thing." SEE?! |

You all are upset over this, but who here has not made fun of the Tennessee (or anyt southern place, for that matter) drawl? .. Okay, that was weak. I don't know why I bothered. Tennessee sucks. |

Their move to push that legislation stopped since that article was publlished. Officials Take 3 Minutes To Change Mind On Gay Ban Edit: oops, didn't see that someone was linking to a similar article. And about the comment that Legion quoted, it seems to be from a 12 year old girl. (edited by Master Vivi on 03-19-04 08:31 PM) |

This is one reason I'm not that fond of close-minded religious people. "I agree with the right to freedom of expression, but only if it's the same as what I believe in!" This could be the leading motto for certain religious groups. (ie: this Tennessee group comes to mind) (edited by Lord Rahl on 03-29-04 06:17 PM) |

I just learned today that some southern baptist minister is coming to my University (IU) to protest a play being made about that Laramie kid who died (called The Laramie Project), under the banner "God hates gays" He also described IU as a "sodomite *something* whorehouse masquerading as a university." I feel like giving this guy a piece of my mind. |

Sorry, Acclaim is still the record holder, with such hits as "Tried to advertise on tombstones" and "Tried to name babies after themselves". | |||

'Acclaim'? What is this 'Acclaim' you speak of? I vaguely remember some crap games repeatedly being churned out by some company... By the way, the article Usam posted is one of the most depressing things I've ever read. America scares the CRAP outta me sometimes. In the words of Eddie Izzard (to lighten the mood somewhat), we're just watching you and thinking 'what on EARTH are you doing?'. It's funnier when you hear the whole thing, of course... >.> |

Sheesh, what is happening with people these days? Damn, some people are getting nuts over the smallest things now. What is going to happen next? "Some people are just too damn rich, let take legal action against them for hoarding so much money..." (edited by Waddler-D on 03-31-04 06:45 PM) |
