And THAT is the key here, I believe. There are hate groups within every single belief system. Christians aren't immune to them, nor are humanists, Muslims, etc. These types of groups should be fought by every true Christian, humanist, and Muslim. And in my opinion, you, MSF, and I (and everyone else on TMV) should fight them at every opportunity.

No big secret that some heterosexuals turn to gay sex while in prison. You would have me believe that they were “always like that from birth” and it just came out. It is a form of sexual release that is chosen. The psychology behind them not “churning out homosexuals” is pretty simple. Prisoners resent being incarcerated, and the homsexual sex represents a negative time in their lives. And there are, indeed, some who continue the homosexual lifestyle after being released.
All of this just doesn't play into the “I can't help what I am” assertion.

You're not at war with “me” or your own nation, MSF.
You are at war with your nation's culture.

One head-scratcher however was that a couple of these sites also bashed natural cures, which aren't exactly part of Christian teachings, and have been showing promise in the health field. I don't have time to ponder that one; it just struck me as odd.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution; and was a statement to England.

Marriage is an instutution reserved for men and women. If gays want something similar, they can already live together, share benefits (with some insurance companies), and just about everything else. If you want the tax exemption, then go for it. That's between you and the government. I have no problem with the government offering that type of perk to anyone who lives together under some sort of contract (one that cannot be walked away from easily).

With that said, gays presently have the “right” to sleep with whomever they choose – male or female. They currenty have the “right” to live with whomever they choose. They also have the right to enter into any legal contracts with whomever they choose. They can own a house with another person, share a bank account, and assign beneficiary benefits to one-another. What they cannot do is become married. It is not the “equality” that the GLBT is after – it is justification and acknowledgment of their being “normal” – as if somehow that will solve their problems.

Why in God's name do you guys bring up slavery every time a mention of our “glorious” past is given?

Every nation and every single person on here right now has things in their past that is ugly and wrong. Does that make the entire nation's morality or the entire person's soul corrupt?

NO!

So, yes… America has many black eyes in its past. Slavery is wrong on every level – and should not be tolerated in ANY society. Now, you are telling me that, because I don't think that folks with particular sexual deviations should be vaulted into minority status or granted marriage “rights”, that I am like the proverbial slave-owner of old. That is rubbish.

I've said over and over, that gays should never be subjected to violence or hate. They'll NEVER get that from me. However, just because I do not believe that an addictive sexual habit (homosexuality) is “normal”; you confuse it with hate. As I've also said, this would not be an issue if sexuality were kept PRIVATE.

You are confusing “liberty” with “anarchy”. You simply MUST have a “common rule book” that defines culture. I'm not necessarily talking about the legal code – it is a common moral code that bonds a society. Any society that fails to have a common moral code – be it religious, secular, humanist, or even pagan – will fall. We simply cannot exist as a nation with many groups playing by different rules. If this country were founded as a humanist nation, I wouldn't be speaking out right now. But it wasn't. It was founded as a pluralistic nation – with secular laws and a judeo-christian moral code.

You are talking about political empires, tidbits. I was talking about cultural invasion – a means to overcome an “enemy” through culture without a shot being fired. It is the stated goal of both Islamic Globalists and humanists here in America.

With all due respect, it doesn't take a lawyer to see that you're being petty. You're remarks, the ones that I saw, were way out of line, and you were warned with amazing patience. It's not that I can't be sympathetic to your position, but that doesn't justify your language or your threats.

If I might suggest, go back a few threads and just read. Find some old ones that interest you, and see how we interact. There's an amazing diversity of interests and opinions on here. Supporters and opponents change with the subject, with no hard feelings going from one to the other. It's possible, and beautiful, to see people who have wildly different views debate their sides without resorting to name-calling, threats, personal attacks, distortions, straw man attacks, and all those other avoidance schemes that people use elsewhere. Your viewpoint is valuable — all we ask (as fellow bloggers, anyway) is that you concentrate on the comment, and not the commenter.

that people avoided. Should open-sexuality be legislated? I'm not sure. I know that it is already legislated to some point – as I cannot walk down the street nude. (I have my impressive portions, but no one needs to see THAT!!!!). LOL
Right now, our culture is extremely shallow and without any sort of moral compass. I'm afraid it will cause our nation to fail or fall. Cultural implosion is no new concept. It has happened throughout history.
