Why is homosexuality wrong?

Can you at least upgrade the recruitment prize to something more modern and techno than a toaster oven?

I'd like an iPod, myself.

We'll have an announcement next month about a new program with iPod Shuffles for recruiting 3 or more pre-teens. The kids must be blue eyed, blonde haired, and have at least one TV Evangelist or Republican legislator in their extended family. Red states are preferred.

We'll also have a very exciting offer for bulk recruitments. The new, highly coveted iPod Touch will be offered for anyone that can recruit an entire class of innocent children from a Fundamentalist-run Christian pre-school.

We're constantly improving and upgrading our recruitment programs in our continuing efforts to force Fundamentalists everywhere to accept, endorse, and promote the Homosexual Lifestyle Choice.

Ok, go ahead, argue with Jeff!

According to you, there is no choice, it is either your so-called god’s way or hell, such a non-loving childish so-called god.

So he's gone from just bashing gays to bashing gays and Africans, and now to also bash "the atheist/liberal conspiracy" to eliminate religion and free enterprise, which are inter-connected in the eyes of so many fundies.

It's the old atheist-equals-Communist fallacy from the Cold War era. Apparently, it's impossible not to believe in god and believe in capitalism at the same time.

Unless your Ayn Rand...

...or Penn Jillette...

...or me.

Did I leave anyone out?

I'm sorry you've been slandered in this way. I'm glad that you are actually tolerant and loving towards gay people, and finally coming to terms with your true self.

I am sickened that my country has so many nutters like XenonII--I think the religious right has taken us right back to the hateful corrupt evil dark ages where primitive texts did the thinking for you. Wasn't the age of enlightenment all about letting go of that crap? The United States was once a beacon of freedom, secularity, science-- and a leader in breaking down the barriers that oppressed so many through the eons. And then the religious right spread it's cancer and infiltrated the likes of XenonII, and it feels like my Country has a bump that looks suspiciously like cancer that we've been ignoring too long. Trillions spent on an illegal war--hateful nutters like XenonII spewing their hate as freely as Fred Phelps and Osama Bin Laden-- "kill the bad evil people--put up a fence--spread the fear--...protest the birth control (that could address some of these problems), refuse to educate and give medical care to the populace"... and spend all your energy worrying about something that hurts no-one. It's so, so sick. Faith makes some very sick and brainwashed humans. I look forward to them being relics like the witch hunters who blighted human history in the past.

And to think, if he came to terms with his own sexuality--all this evil hate might go away. His faith has ruined him.

This thread must have reached a record for the highest number of nominations by now, surely.

Nonetheless...nominated. :D

As I said before, Xenon is such a little man, whose voice is, thankfully, rather small. It seems loud because it is shocking to us, but in truth his kind is nearing extinction. Regardless, it is still comforting to hear words such as these in the face of such social retardation.

Of course English is the national language of the USA, that's why the Bible was written in English.... oh.... right... I'll get my coat.

Ah, yes. English, that most pure language untainted by German, French or Latin. None of those nasty Arabic words in there, either! Gods forbid if here in Australia we'd ever let a few Aboriginal words creep in. My, whatever would become of our language!!

Funny how we hear all the same attacks here as well.

They're taking our jobs
Yeah, because we have so many school leavers getting turned away from applying as trolley boys and starting up corner store businesses.

They're not learning English
So? I don't know how anybody could be happy in a country without learning how to interact in the community, but if so, what skin is it off my nose?

They're taking our money
While ignoring the fact that at least in this country, immigrants actually contribute more to the economy than native borns.

They're lazy
Sure - because it's so easy to get up out of your own country and move thousands of miles to set up elsewhere. I'm yet to meet any immigrant who doesn't want to work.

They don't want to adopt our values
Which are what exactly? (big one here in Oz at the moment - Australian values. I'd love to see a comprehensive list on that one)

I could go on...but I'd need a shower before long. Thinking like a bigot always makes me feel so dirty.

have you ever lived somewhere where its been an issue? i have, and its not fun. its not so fantastic for health care and law enforcement either. it just tends to clog things up. I would feel very rude if i didnt at least make an effort to learn the language of a place i was moving to, ya know? its hard to learn a new language so if someone just tries i appreciate it a lot.

I agree. My point is I can't understand how somebody could move into a new linguistic area and get much out of the community if they can't communicate. It would suck big time for them, and pose a few dangers when it came to dealing with emergencies.

But if they have a way of communicating, such as through an interpreter, then great. If not, how does it impact on me personally? I can understand for police, and perhaps medical fields (working in the hospital in pathology, I know I found it tricky to communicate somebody who didn't speak English, but it didn't make me lose any sleep), it can be tough going, but then I also found it tough dealing with the old, the deaf, the drugged, the demented and the uncooperative.

I'm not saying people shouldn't learn the language dominant in the culture they're living in. For their sake, it would only make life easier. But the way some people act it's like a massive affront to them personally, when it has zero impact on their life.

Why don't we send him to Iran? He'd get first-hand experience of what a homophobic totalitarian theocracy is like...
