  okay i've been reading this one lately and so far it's even funnier to me than kyria's book, maybe because it comes from the male viewpoint.

  this book is not to be missed!

  buy it now.

  God, Gays & Evangelicals

  while participating on this website (one of the only three places i've discussed religion online) i asked a question:.

  i've observed quite a few posts and comments here about religious intolerance toward gay men and women (i'm quoting), the terror and murder of homosexuals instigated by christians.

  the religion i was raised in was in agreement with the bible based view that alternative lifestyles are immoral but they never instigated any hateful rhetoric toward gay men or women.

  Thanks for clearing that up, Streets. Although I love seeing which posters came to McCartney's defense... my blood brothers! Sorry, don't mean to derail a thread. Now back to the apostle Paul being gay...

  Cofty, you bring up some really great points about the real possibility that Paul was gay.

  Streets, "Imagine" is a great song, but the lyrics came from Yoko as much as they did from John. And Paul wrote some great songs himself, including "Hey Jude", "Let It Be", and "Yesterday".

  I'm glad Paul didn't want people to follow him. So I won't.

  The bottom line is, we have to ask ourselves how we personally feel about such matters, rather than letting others do our thinking for us. Anyone who doesn't want to think for themselves can go back to the dubbies. The apostle Paul is on a par with Joseph Smith, as far as I'm concerned. Both men claimed to have a life-changing divine revelation and then saw fit to set themselves up as someone to be followed.

  I was 16. Um, I thought it was my own decision. But then again, I also believed the generation of 1914 would never pass away. I was thoroughly brainwashed.

  i saw this video on youtube and didnt know if i should laugh or crawl into the fetal position.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abm0t-qhllc&feature=related.

  .

  we had several "talent" shows over the years in my original congregation - it was the only annual gathering more nauseating that the meetings.. my friend and i would always bring our walkmans and blare heavy metal in the back - hoping to block out the embarassing crap on the stage.you always had a few older ones get up on stage and slaughter a kingdumb song.
