So you never want anything more than the bare essentials and have never done anything to get ahead? to advance your income? If you have then you are part of your own problem

There is a difference, ya know.

Greed:
n. An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth:

[rockwerks]

LOL, "I have a queer cousin." It is not PC to accept homosexuals. It is their right to be accepted. A human right. Gay is not a sin. ALSO, not everyone is of christian faith. Will they be forgiven too? What are your thoughts on black homosexual Atheists?

I believe in a higher power but I have yet to find a religion that does not twist things to suit their own needs.

Christians believe in a bible that many of the books where left out because the old guard that decided what should be included did. many books that gave women more rights etc where excluded. If you are christian the current bible is only part of your real truth

That is exactly what I asked if he has tried to get more than what he needs?

Agreed, but there are obviously different levels of greed man. Sorry, maybe I should have said greed and power.

So I'm guessing my word choice was offensive?


Black, homosexual, atheists: 3 more sins to repent for.

Being anyone of those three is a sin?

Show me where that is written.

[Rumdog]

Do you thrive on trying to be offensive? You sure do keep on hoping that i'm offended. People with your morals and beliefs are the scum of the earth. There, are YOU offended?

Was merely a question since you quoted and laughed at my word choice. Then tried throw gays rights on me for using the words queer after I stated my disapproval.


And YES, very offended. I'm so very offended by a realist with a vocabulary and strong fingers. When not once have I attacked or tried to insult your intelligence. But since I stated my opinion and your opinion is different, I'm a "diluted idiot and scum of the earth" When in fact you suggest I shove my gun up my back side and pull the trigger. Wow the hypocrisy.

[Rumdog]

People with morals such as yours don't get my respect buddy.

You haven't answered my question.
Is being Black, Homosexual or Atheist a sin?

If so, where is it written?

[calcagno45]

Being black is obviously not a sin.

Homosexual: written in the Bible that man and woman shall united.

Atheists: written in the Bible, First Commandment.

[calcagno45]

People with morals such as yours don't get my respect buddy.

And closed minded realists will remain the same. So because my views are different, you utterly disapprove and chastise me for it....

[Rumdog]

Trust me, between the two of us, I am not the closed minded one.

[calcagno45]

Then whats so hard about accepting opposition? Seems closed minded to me.

[rockwerks]

Kettle meet pot, pot meet kettle neither of you are one bit open minded just closed toall but your view.

[Rumdog]

lol, Nope. Just against fascist homophobes.

[Rumdog]

man we're getting off topic..

[calcagno45]

lol, Nope. Just against fascist homophobes.

So if I were a homophobe, wouldn't you be racists right now? It would be my choice to be homophobe, and I wouldn't be the only one. So wouldn't I qualify for the same rights as the homo's themselves? Then name calling a homophobe is racists as well...


Maybe you should check you realist views.

[Rumdog]

That literally made me laugh out loud. Is homophobia a race?

[domwilson]

Actually it's a label.

[calcagno45]

Is homosexuality a race?

Exactly, but I'm a racists for believing its wrong.

[domwilson]

Nope. You're not a racist for thinking it's wrong.
If you don't like Gay people, that is your choice. But to act on that dislike is another story. When I say "Act" this means actively or passively. Not giving that guy a promotion because of his sexual preference is wrong. Unless he comes to work in a tutu with sparklers.

Good comic relief there.

First off, how the hell did "Black and White" marriage get mixed in to this? As far as they are man and women, which have the possibility to procreate, let them have at it.

As for people thinking I hate gay people, think what you like. I dont hate anyone or any group, I just believe in the true definition of marriage.

[AndyKunz]

So when inter-racial marriage was against the law, that would be a "bad" choice. Of course, the definition was changed to make that a "good" choice. Unless you live in banjo strumming county where some judges still refuse to marry inter-racial couples.

So I guess Steve Martin is a racist? You realize he was nominated for 7 awards by the IBMA this year, and won 2 of them?!?!?

My question is, what are you all so afraid of??

Who said anything about fear? Fear is irrational. There are absolute rights and wrongs, despite what you may have heard in school.

The banjo reference was intended to recall a "Deliverance" type of attitude. It had nothing to do with actual banjo players. You see the problem with taking things literally all the time??

Andy

No, fear is actually not irrational, a phobia is irrational and is defined as an irrational fear of something. Hence the term "homophobia" which many here seem to be despite your protestations to the contrary.

And as far as absolute rights and wrongs, not many philosophers or theologians would agree. For instance, is killing another human an absolute wrong?

See how a little innuendo can take on a life of it's own? Sort of like what these "commentators" on TV spew out. They can take a seemingly benign issue, filter it, re-imagine it, and alter it to fit their agenda. By the time it airs on TV, it is some monstrosity of half truths and opinion. I watched Fox News and MSNBC last night. Reps. Got two Governors seats. Big victory for the GOP and the people are repudiating Obama. Fox didn't mention that they lost a seat in the house. MSNBC blamed it on "These states normally vote republican" and other reasons. I think that the people just voted in who they felt was a better candidate. No spin.

[domwilson]

Regarding the Healthcare Reform Bill, Virginia Fox states “I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country.”

If that is true, let's just take the money we're spending on these wars and give every U.S. Citizen free healthcare? How come no one speaks about the deficit when it comes to foreign policy but when domestic policy come up....The deficit becomes one of the main talking points? All those dribbling idiots in Washington have an agenda. The only concern they have for the american people is to find new and imaginative ways of getting taxes out of us.
