I get thumbs down on a news story? Interesting.

And yes, I'm sure that atheists engage in homosexuality. But THEY aren't out there screaming at everyone else that it's wrong in the first place. And they aren't trying to forbid loving couples from having the right to form a union.

Answer 1

When I was still a ministering among the misbelievers I frequently noted how often demonstrative revulsion toward a particular "sin" was how a person masked their fascination and obsession with it. Someone who vehemently railed against "fornication" was either fornicating at every opportunity, were waiting for the opportunity to fornicate, or were actively trying to create scenarios ("making provisions for the flesh") in which they could engage in fornication and delude themselves and/or others they'd simply been caught in a weak moment. It never seemed that those who had relatively healthy sex lives had any interest in or concern over someone's else's sex life and whether or ot it was perverse. And while they'd acknowledge that "the Bibles says homosexuality is a sin", no married couple with a healthy sexual relationship ever seemed to think gay marriage actually threatened their own marriage in any way. More often than not deep, prayerful and continuous concern about sexual sin in the world was something that manifested pretty exclusively in those whose sex lives were unsatisfactory in some way.

Answer 2

Yep!
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The leader of the influential National Association of Evangelicals, a vocal opponent of the drive for same-sex marriage, resigned Thursday after being accused of paying for sex with a man.
The Rev. Ted Haggard also stepped aside as head of his 14,000-member New Life Church while a church panel investigates, saying he could "not continue to minister under the cloud created by the accusations."

Answer 3

I agree with James C!!! INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.......that is how it works, right? So Mike Jones says all this happened huh? Well Damn, it must be TRUE! Ever stop to think about the possibility of it being an attack/sabotage on the Anti-gay movement???

Answer 4

The Republican Party Chairman wrote the plank in the party platform that condemned homosexuality for the 2004 election and I will bet my life that he is gay. My gay-dar goes off every time I see this hypocrite and I wonder how he lives with himself. It's time to treat gays as equals and get these bozos in overcompensating denial the mental help they need to accept the reality of their homosexuality so they can get on with their lives and stop causing harm to our gay fellow/gal citizens.

Answer 5

That is a blatant generalization, and btw, God is against ALL sexual sin outside of marriage, ie..rape, incest, adultery, fornication, and so on...He sees them all as equally wrong....

does that mean an atheist has never committed such an act?
I wouldn't make that kind of sweeping comment, as I feel it would be unfair.

Edit
They are allowed to form unions....I believe you're confusing the fact that they want to redefine the Biblical definition of "marriage" with their live-in unions.

Answer 6

I thought we lived in America. Land of the Free. A place where you are innocent till proven guilty. I don't think I can take the word of a guy who sells himself for sex. He says he has evidence. Lets see it. Then I will proclaim guilty or innocent for my own decision.

Answer 7

My God that's horrible.That reminds me of a glorious true story.Courtesy of me.

Answer 8

Try to do What GOD Said.
We Do NOT Follow Man.
Man will let you Down.

A Man Walks with the Lord---by Himself.

Answer 9

Mark my words, he denies it now, but if it comes out to be true, he'll blame it on one addiction or another, go to rehab for a couple months, if not weeks, and be "cured" of homosexuality..... yay for hypocrites

Answer 10

Thats a shame!!!! But I will give him the benefit of a doubt before i jump to conclusions.God bless
