Apologies to BK. You were right about gay marriages.

A touching and important letter. I agree. No one should have to suffer as this kid. Those people should read their Bible. They say they follow Jesus. Jesus walked among traitors to his land, prostitutes, religoous hipocrites. All of them knew what he thought of the moral basis of their lives, that he didn't approve. But all of them also knew he loved them, cared for them, wanted to share his life and time with them, defended them in the face of unjustice. He didn't come for the rightous, he came to those who sinned, the people scorned for their immoral lives. He loved them, unconditionally, as they were. And he told them "sin no more". That is what these morons should care for. I have gay friends. They probably know well what I think of homosexuality on a religious level. But they also, I hope and belive, that I love them as friends, as they are. Respect goes twoway.

I think you have perfect hearing and you use "hearing impaired" as an excuse for not understand what the **** people say. Because here on Apolyton, where no one talks AT ALL, you still have no ****ing idea what people are saying.

This is the most retarded thing I've ever seen you post and that's saying something.

Gee, I might as well just say you are faking being gay because you like to swing both ways and poly gets you the sympathy vote.

[Asher]

I wasn't aware people sympathized with me for being gay.

Do you know what the word means? No, of course you don't.

[Ben Kenobi]

And he told them "sin no more".

Exactly. Repentence is essential. Unlike hearing impairment, homosexuals choose to engage in sodomy.

I wasn't aware people sympathized with me for being gay.

I said it gets you the sympathy vote. Might want to clean those ears out son.

I know lots of gays who do not engage in sodomy.
I know lots more straights who do engage in sodomy.

[Ben Kenobi]

I know lots of gays who do not engage in sodomy.
I know lots more straights who do engage in sodomy.

So your point? It's a choice. Thanks for confirming my argument.

[Asher]

I said it gets you the sympathy vote. Might want to clean those ears out son.

I was perhaps being too subtle in pointing out you are confusing sympathy with empathy. It's also now aware to me that you're not aware sympathize and sympathy are related words.

Poor Ben. Top of his class to data entry to village idiot in 10 years.

[Asher]

So your point? It's a choice. Thanks for confirming my argument.

Sodomy is a choice, homosexuality is not sodomy.

[Asher]

Ben, are you not homosexual because you do not sodomize other men? Are are you not homosexual because you've no attraction to the same sex?

[ColdWizard]

God gave you brains so that you could think, and it's about time you started doing that.

Wishful thinking

In theory, I guess they can. In practice, I don't think it's that simple. You and I can in theory choose to not look at women with lust. Or just peek a little on that naked scene in that movie that was running when we were zapping. Or, or, or... I hope you see my point. Sexuality is a deep force within each of us. It can't just be turned on and off. You know it and I know it, as do the rest.

[MrFun]

Actually, given BK's level of "thinking," he may not even know something as basic as that.

[Ben Kenobi]

I hope you see my point. Sexuality is a deep force within each of us. It can't just be turned on and off. You know it and I know it, as do the rest.

I do, which is why we have to control ourselves.

So you'd have no problem with homosexuals who didn't perform sexual acts?
