Listen, I am a christian and I believe it is a sin to be gay which is why my friends and I do whatever we can to stop these gay pride parades. We are out there with our megaphones preaching the word of Christ, handing out bibles, carrying signs, and if we see these homos making inappropriate contact with eachother we shoot them with paintball guns and douse them with holy water. Yes this sounds a bit extreme but its nothing compared to the eternal damnation that awaits them for their acts of sodomy. Its not that I hate them, its just the sin I hate which is why I feel the need to take extreme measures. I usually wind up getting arresting while I am only exercising my right to freedom of expression. Whats wrong with this country anyways?

Actually, there is no "freedom of expression" guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, of the Declaration of Independence.
If you want the freedom of expression for yourself, give everyone else the same courtesy. You have no right to tell others how to live their lives or what choices to make for themselves, and if you think that your God will appreciate what you are doing by slinging your hate around and treating others that way, I'm sorry to say that you will most likely be VERY disappointed where you end up.

You are violently assaulting people if you are shooting them with paint balls. Those things can take your eye out or hearing in one ear or other permanent injuries...even kill.
freedom of expression ends when it becomes assault with a deadly weapon....DUH....are you really that mean and hateful that you would bully others and rationalize some BS excuse why it should be ok to assault and maim people...you need to ask Christs forgiveness for Your SINS and stop judging others....
have you ever heard the saying:
"There is a God, and it ain't you!"

You ARe kidding me.... IF you are being serious. I would ask you if you think what you are doing is any better than what they are doing? sin is sin!! duh...
Try taking the higher road and maybe one will follow you. You can't lift someone else up if you are not on higher ground yourself. They are still the Lords children and its not ok what you are doing to them. I am not a gay fan myself. It is a sin and it is an abomination, but they are still humans. IF you knew the reasons behind MOST of them being gay in the first place, I think you would have more compassion.
I would use that energy in a more positive way, like the Savior did. He taught and lead by EXAMPLE. And remember, you can't save them all........ it takes the Masters hand to heal them. Not a fist of anger and shame.

You say what is wrong with this country..I ask you what is wrong with this world..They have forgotten God..and we both know what God said about the ones that forget Him.
I, too, am against homosexuality..and it's good that you are trying to make a stand for Christ, but I do think that we are to reach out in love..I know you said that you don't hate them, but these are acts of hate that you are portraying...you really think that this is what Jesus would do? Beware of the way you are to others..it has a way of coming back to you and biting you right on the hind quaters...for Jesus said we can do all this in His name, and if we have not love, we are nothing..and we are doing nothing to benefit the Kingdom of God.

You can say what you want, but you cannot stop someone from doing something which is not against the law. In this way, you are invading ones freedom of carrying out what they want to do, be this a same sex or whatever issue. Your freedom of speech is not just speech but intruding actions, and what makes your freedom greater than others?

Who Are you to say what happened to to freedom of expression that is exactly what the gay pride parade is. It is only your opinion that they will be "eternally damned". And there should be a line drawn. You were obviously not there to be a "good christian" You were there committing a hate crime. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

There is nothing wrong with this country, it is hate mongers like you that are wrong. It is only a matter time before your actions lead to someone being shot with a real gun, and as was the case with the doctor who was killed at the abortion clinic.

i am christian as well, but brother your freedom of expression does NOT include assaulting an American citizen, and yes they are sinning against God , but you can't assault these people! How is that loving your neighbor? love the sinner not the sin..please stop assaulting these men and women.

You are a jerk. Hitting them with paintballs and dousing them with water is assault. There is no such thing as freedom of expression. What's wrong with YOU? What you are doing constitutes a hate crime. You are no Christian.
