They don't.
I didn't say they shouldn't. But that is exactly what george's post indicates.

"We are not against homos. We are only against those that can't procreate."

So if they shouldn't be ashamed, just say "we are against homos".

While I actually do have friends who are, let me rephrase, if it would make it sound less trite:

I am openly opposed to gay marriage.

They don't.

They should be ashamed because they preach that we should love and accept everyone, while openly chastising an entire group of people. It's the truest definition of hypocrisy.

This is the only thing I can think of that the school would fall back on. However...show me a female PE teacher that isn't a lesbian, and I'll show you a liar.

It doesn't matter to me if it makes you laugh or not. Even though I haven't attended church in years, I grew up with it and I still believe in the basic tenets I learned as a kid and regularly tithe. Other than dabbling in drugs and not actually going to church, I feel pretty strongly about it.[/INDENT]

Wow. But, that won't happen because NRA members are law-abiding citizens who love their country (as it was founded) and respect their fellow citizens...........contrary to the misinformation that the radical progressives have been feeding you.

You can't be; you can't be for it either, because it doesn't exist.

Yeah, his post was dumb and crazy enough to have come from the QuakerOats School of Political Talk.

Gays are not the same as Asians. They are not a race of people. They are people of the same sex who have intercourse with each other. The church considers that to be an action of immorality, much in the same way that it views adultery or fornication to be an action of immortality. Where homosexuality differs, and why the church, in my view, holds it to a higher standard than those other actions, is that homosexuality is not so much a sin as it is a lifestyle, and those who partake in that activity do not see what they are doing as wrong and therefore never repent.

That's just my take, anyway.

The Church also used to teach that if you got divorced, and then began dating someone else, you are committing adultery. It's been awhile since I've been to church, but I know that Moses came down with 10 rules that were from God. Not committing adultery was up there. "Thou shalt not munch a vag if you, too, have a vag" wasn't on that list.

Yet the Church still allows someone who was divorced to re-marry.

They are just bigots against gay people, and hypocritical in their teachings.

How about someone who thinks for themselves, and looks at things logically and scientifically...can they back the Bible but NOT back organized religion?

That would describe myself.
