the religious right is everything that is wrong with this country. this is a secular nation. i dont think religion should have any say in the government Reply...
I like that idea, no hunting for life, and one more infranction sends you to 30 years jailtime...
I don't tolerate poachers. Reply...
The bible also says it's okay to stone people but do you think that is right? Reply...
Brandon ... Since I claim to be a believer of the bible, I have to read what it says about homosexuality and I have to go from there. God says its wrong, and I also believe it to be wrong. Period.
If I were not a Christian I wouldn't care what two men or two women do... I also , as I have said numerous times, believe that God loves the homosexual, because HE SAID IT. HE LOVES SINNERS as much as he loves anyone. Sorry, but I can't be politically correct on this... Its perverted, and wrong.
Do I hate them, no.
Reply...
i dont understand this prejudice against homosexuals. they are people are entitled to every right straight people have.
shoppegrl you have a lot of anger, stop listining to rush limbaugh and get a massage Reply...
What's your definition of a pervert? Why are two people who love each other perverted?
Also, do you think that most people just have "random hookups" to have kids? And why do you only blame the women and not the men fot that?
Reply...
Here is my 2 cents.
Welfare needs to be DRASTICALLY CUT AND OVERHAULED.
OBAMA is a leftist and I will not vote for him.
I do not think a gay couple raising any kids is EVER RIGHT.. NEVER. Why is it ok to raise kids in a perverted home?
TRUE, many moms and dads are creeps, our job is to get them out of that home and into another mom/dad family. :)
There would be a lot less of this if we would put our foot down about SINGLE MOMS HAVING NUMEROUS CHILDREN FROM EVERY HOOK UP THEY WANT TO HAVE , AND US PAYING THE BILL..... :)
I am all for giving grownups free birth control if they so desire it.....I am not talking young kids in schools... Reply...
Here it goes, these are my thoughts on a few things mentioned. Yes there are many Americans living in poverty and they come from all races and it is sad, we do need to help those who cannot help themselves for whatever reason. There are many people who choose to live in poverty that are able bodied and are to lazy to help themselves and they drain the system of resources to really help those who really need the assistance, again not just one race but many do this. I will vote for Obama and I hope that if he is elected he will inspire young people of all races that you can do whatever you want if you work hard and educate yourself, many children are raised with no idea this is possible, instead they grow up being taught welfare is a way of life, again through life circumstances things happen and people need help, but it should not be a way of life, the cycle needs to be broken. On the subject of gay people raising children, I think if they are two good people regardless of their sexual orientation they should be allowed to adopt, there are many children in this country who would love to be in a loving home regardless if there are two dads, two moms or a mom and a dad. There are many families with a mom and dad that should not be raising kids. This needs to be looked at on a case by case basis. Reply...
You didn't give me a reason it was wrong, just saying it is so doesn't make it just, you give no reason. And you think that a kid will be better off in the world if they have a mother and a father who are both horrible parents rather than two good parents who happen to be the same sex? And I can tell you from expierence my father was a good parent, my mother was not and his second wife was even worse. I would have been much better off had there not been another female parent in the home. Reply...
Yes, Moon, I actually think Gay couples raising children is very wrong.
Good parenting or not.... just wrong....
Kids are best served to have a 2 parent home with a mom and a dad. Case closed. Reply...
So if God created everything in the entire universe and is omnipotent and omniscient and this is all part of gods one true plan then how could it -not- have anything to do with him? If you're going to use the devil argument, then it seems like your devil has a lot more control than god does and your god has no power at all in the world. Since you thing -so- many things are wrong with the would.
Why do you think that gay people raising kids is wrong if they are good parents? Why couldn't you say something lie "I wish there weren't bad parents having kids when they shouldn't? " You think all christians are amazing and wonderful parents? You probably do because you're that diluted. It depends on teh people not th religion or sexual orientation. And man boy love crap, that's in your own church and the church protects them men who do it, so that's straight from god.
