awww damn, a Catholic bishop turned up dead in Iraq. guess some don't agree with that Western family value thing.
Western values are not Catholic.
Now you are suggesting giving the catholic heirarchy police powers as well? Is there an end to your nonsense?
What patent nonsense.
A person who follows the 'nazi rule' is a nazi, in the same way that a person who acts according to homosexual impulses is a homosexual.
Simple logic, no?
You have been refuted in every absurd twist and turn you wish to proceed in this debate.
It is the height of vanity to even suggest that you can COMPEL the state (and society at large) to attach legal impetus for what is obviously your own personal choice. It is enough that society allows you to exercise that choice.
That is a rather dismissive statement. It sounds as if you are saying society can not change and homosexuals should simply be glad they aren't being openly persecuted.
Homosexuality - in that small percent of people who are totally homosexual, does not appear to be a "choice" any more than heterosexuality is a "choice".
Poor ol' Nums hasn't been able to come up with an answer for your questions or mine about lesbians either, I note. Sometimes a bigoted, black and white philosophy simply can't be stretched to fit the myriad of colors in which God created people.
according to you maybe.
according to Islam, they are.
People like you will die of old age and the new generation is not nearly so narrow and bigoted--I know, I speak to University classes on a regular basis.
I don't know, my faith in the rest of my generation has been severely shaken by the response to a recent hate crime on our campus.
Basically, only about six or seven of us really cared about it. Everyone else just wanted to know why the kitchen had been closed for three days (an unrelated issue from the week before). It was a little disgusting.
VYO, my friend, you remember of course that you attend art school. Where are those kids supposed to get thier munchies...it is a matter of priorities
Actually all kidding aside, that is disappointing to hear. Without knowing any of the details, I wont begin to speculate, I guess what I will say is that 40 years when college students didnt like what was happening around them, they took to the streets. Nowadays, they take to the blogs.
What a tide change.

I hope it has something to do with where you live. I live in Oregon and it's a pretty progressive State what with our assisted suicide law, civil unions, and comprehensive anti-discrimination laws. Of course the Bible-beaters who lost their recall petition initiative for lack of signatures are now mounting a campaign to repeal our new laws by getting the Conservative Republican legislators to introduce repeal initiatives in the legislature. Of course this is all funded by out-of-State groups who call themselves Christians. (Please don't give me grief about picking on Christians, all this stupidity is being done by people who proudly proclaim that they are Christians doing God's work.)
