How is this an anti-Christian thread?
Because people are getting their bigoted feelings hurt.
How is this an anti-Christian thread?
I don't know what that means but it's not really relevant.
We're almost five pages in on an anti-Christian thread masquerading as a pro-homosexuality thread without a single attack by a Christian. That is what is relevant.
There is a difference between not supporting someone's position and downright attacking them.
It's not even so much the continued attacks on anyone different by liberals that I find comical. It's the insistence of how tolerant they are.
[H]omosexual acts are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
You miss the entire point of this thread. These people use religon to thier own ends. God hates no one and It says so in many places in the New and Old Testament. There are even commandments against judging your neighbor and not loving them. NO one who is religious or a person of faith can come out against a child of God and still claim they are so.
"I am the God of love come and follow me". You can argue my points all you want but if a person says they believe in God - They must prove it and live according to the word every day. Otherwise its just smoke and mirrors to acheive a personal end.
Well, im always given a quote from the bible. Isnt the bible the final word?
You see, that's a big issue that i have with religion. People pick and choose what they like and dont like. I really believe they use their religion as to mask their hate.
If you're gonna organize a religion, for chirst sake, make sure everyone is on the same page. This is why i cant take any religion seriously.
Well no. This event is about not beating someone up for being gay. How the hell could they possibly find a problem with that?
Maybe they think it legitimizes a lifestyle that they disagree with.
The program is not about sexual orientation but rather about breaking up social cliques, which are especially evident in a school cafeteria, Ms. Costello said.
In some schools, cliques are socioeconomic. In others they are ethnic or religious or based on sexual orientation. By giving students a way to mix with other students, self-imposed social barriers can be broken down and bullying can be curbed, she said.
“Many of the targets of bullying are kids who are either gay or are perceived as gay,” she said.
But the idea that the program is intended as homosexual indoctrination is simply wrong, Ms. Costello added.
“We’ve become used to the idea of lunatic fringe attacks,” she said, “but this one was complete misrepresentation.”
How you make the leap from 'opposes bullying' to 'overtly supports homosexuality' is beyond me, unless your default premise is that gays are rightfully the subjects of bullying.
So... gay people should be attacked on site or you're pro-gay? Yeah, that's a reasonable position.
Maybe they think it legitimizes a lifestyle that they disagree with.
Well what exactly happens on this day?
And if people disagree with the "Christian" they should be able to bully "Christians", right?
I didn't say that.
All religions have sects and a disparate base of adherents. And it doesn't matter one iota that YOU can't find one that suits you, painting entire religions for the beliefs of a subset is the same kind of wrong as when you do it in the political arena.
This is the Catholic Church's official stance on homosexuality.
You claimed that this group believes that not beating people up for being gay legitimizes being gay (and I suspect you're right). The converse of that is that in order to ensure your anti-gay street cred, you have to beat up gay people. This, of course, is the crux of the thread: the AFA, by conlfating anit-bullying with being pro-gay is promoting a pro-bullying stance. This is unconsciounable, and really has very little to do with Christianity as such.
No. I claimed that schools holding a special day to celebrate homosexuality legitimizes being gay. It has nothing to do with bullying.
If Christian students can't pray in school, why should you be able to have gay-day?
Seriously, some of you are so married to this idea that there's a "war on christianity" that anything that anybody says that is even remotely critical of a group of Christians, and it's an "attack on religion by Godless lefties."
If you think homosexuality is wrong, go for it. That doesn't mean it's OK to beat them up and belittle them. That's what the thread is about. Apparently saying that beating them is wrong is a "proTgay" agenda, and saying that this group of people is a bunch of douches is an attack on all reigion and Conservatism.
Where did I say it was OK to bully homosexuals?
The AFA actively endorses legalized discrimination against gays as well as advocates the psuedo science of reparative therapy that often times has had disastrous results.. That is bullying.
Wow, I don't think the left could have taken this in a more ridiculous direction.

..... AFA gets worse and worse....
Homosexuals shouldn't be bullied, but if the anti-bullying laws/promotions push moral beliefs regarding homosexuality (as in saying it's normal/healthy/moral etc). Then the AFA would have a valid point (which they probably don't here).
I'm just going to block you all.
