i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.
there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.
i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.
Littlerockguy said, "Teaching your kids that homosexuality is wrong may or will give them justification to judge, ostracize and make fun of gays and make kids who are gay believe that they are seriously flawed and it is their fault they are gay and that God, if god exists, hates them."
Would you also suggest that giving them math skills and a strong work ethic would be improper because it might cause them to make negative judgments of people who cannot balance their checkbook or do shoddy work?

YES.
While a certain percentage of various types of mammals might be demonstrably homosexual, I doubt that anyone can argue that homosexuality is in any way a positive trait when viewed evolutionarily.
Homosexuality is as "beneficial" as being born without a limb.
I say this as someone who knows that a number of the members of this discussion group are homosexual, and as a person who knows that various "celebrities" whose work I enjoy are homosexual, and as a person who has had friends and co-workers who were homosexual.
I am no more hostile toward homosexuals than I am toward any other disabled person, but I also refuse to CELEBRATE homosexuality as some "fabulously" admirable trait. If a male is born with microphallus, do we put him on a dais and throw flowers at him? Some might, but I don't. I refuse to be POLITICALLY CORRECT by pretending that disabilities are assets.
When I meet people I try to judge them on the basis of their actions rather than by what is going on beneath their underpants, but when such persons violate my boundaries by thrusting their underpants in my face, I take offense.
Your mileage may vary.
hello all, first post.
i've been lurking for months and figured it was time to post a few things, i've been pimo for the last couple of years.. i was doing some thinking about an adult refusing a blood transfusion, especially one that has several children.
when you married and had children, you signed up to take care of them, to love and protect them.
BourneIdentity, when I saw your subject line I was concerned that this might be a real situation you were facing.
i was greatly relieved to see it was just an intellectual theoretical exercise.
Peace out!
after seeing the atrocity in new zealand, do you think white nationalism is a major issue affecting you or where you live?.

Coded Logic attempted a rebuttal of Bad_Wolf's statement "it's that many SNEAKING IN ILLEGALLY are criminals" by saying, "This is patently false. The criminal rate for immigrants - legal or otherwise - is lower than the American population."
...and all this time I thought that people who were guilty of ILLEGAL ACTIONS could properly be described as CRIMINALS.
Here's a fact: the CRIMINALITY of illegal immigrants is 100% because they entered the USA illegally!
Conversely, the CRIMINALITY of legal immigrants, judged by the way they entered the USA, is ZERO percent! If they commit crimes after entering the USA legal, they RUIN the excellent start they had!
Does Mexico have open borders? No.
Does any country in the world have open borders? No.
Why should the USA have open borders? Enlighten me.

Nothing at all! I'm in the USA and I invite them all to Canada! ...and Canadians don't mind!

The Al Noor mosque in Christchurch targeted by the killer has produced at least two terrorists from a very small congregation: al-Qaida recruit Daryl Jones, killed by a drone, and Christopher Havard.
The parents of these boys say their sons were radicalized by extremist preachers at Al Noor. The boys were in Yemen with the guys who trained the Charlie Hebdo killers. A 2014 story at Stuff.co.nz (now scrubbed from the internet) quotes a mosque attendee who says, “A visiting speaker from Indonesia talked about violent jihad and ...shared his views.”
Three questions:
1. How many news reports have you read these details in?
2. If you’d known that this mosque was a terrorist factory, would it have changed your feelings about the news at all?
3. How does it make you feel to learn that the media has been not just ignoring these facts but deleting stories to hide them over the past 24 hours?

BadWolf explained, "Things from different cultures...... French food, german food, mexican food, all the different foods. Traveling is interesting, getting to know different cultures and see different ways of life. The different architecture, French, Alpine, Greek, etc."
OK. Like you, I like food.
I thought you meant things from other cultures like, for example, female genital mutilation. Pointless and useless cultural artifacts like that.
You can't get much Mayan or Atlantean recipes nowadays. Its a pity.
More Schnitzel, danke!

Mark Sanderson said, "Does this mean... Well, we are not ready to tell you."
Then YOU, Mark Sanderson, and your motley crew, are as useless as tits on a log.
