I’ve already established that an unfortunate number of people in the society are all too vocal in telling the homosexual community that they CANNOT be Christians. So on a similar line of reasoning, I imagine a comparable percentage would attempt to tell me I CANNOT be a parent. Their reasoning may not fall under the same “divine scripture” from thousands of years ago category, but I’m sure it is similarly lacking logic and research oriented proof.
Feel free to throw your arguments at me, because I am living proof on a daily basis that homosexuals can be just as good of parents as their heterosexual counterparts. And despite all accusations thrown out there, it is just untrue that homosexual parents somehow raise children who are gender confused or angry or more likely to be gay. Reserach has consistently proven this to be just wrong.
In reality, a parent is a parent – gay or straight. Parenting will have the same trials and tribulations regardless of the sexual orientation of the parent or for that matter, the child. There will continue to be children of homosexuals and children of heterosexuals that have emotional problems, behavior problems, learning problems – social problems. Attempting to blame any problems such as these on a parent’s homosexuality is merely another societal attempt at blaming and excusing. The fact is – a bad parent is a bad parent, and they exist as both homosexuals and heterosexuals.
The fact of the matter is a homosexual parent is MORE likely to raise a tolerant, open-minded, free-thinking child. And a homosexual parent is LESS likely to pass on the traits of prejudice and hatred. Believe me, the world is already full of hatred, so a few more tolerant problem solvers will definitely help future generations.

We are merely reporting what God says. Disagreements should be taken up with Him.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and for ever.

Translation: “A parent who claims to be homosexual is more likely to raise [sic] a child that thinks like the parent who claims to be homosexual.”

You must be fresh outta substance.

Plenty of substance – just not going to waste my time stating the same things over and over. People know my views and opinions.

The wonderful gift we have is the ability to think freely and form our own opinions. The statement is that children of homosexuals generally have the ability to form their own views, opinions and beliefs.
Free thinking is not a condemnation – it is the ability to come to the right conclusions in one’s own time and manner. In religion, society, life in general – I would hope my children grow up with enough guidance and intellectual capacity to come to their own conclusions through their own thought processes rather than as a conformity to societal norms or anyone else’s assertions being shoved down their throats.

==to come to their own conclusions through their own thought processes rather than as a conformity to societal norms ..==
Rebels, in other words. Always at odds with people. Beautiful.
==…or anyone else’s assertions being shoved down their throats.==
You mean through Free Speech?
August 25, 2008 at 2:25 pm
==Free thinking is not a condemnation …==
It depends.
The Devil tempted Eve right into believing that Adam and her own might could save them. In that case, “free thinking” destroyed their relationship with God. Their “free thinking” condemned them cuz they didn’t remember God in their “free thinking.”

So, give us the line of scriptural thought that says homosexuality is compatible with Christianity.
August 25, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Where does Scripture say that, defying God, you can still walk with God?
August 25, 2008 at 2:43 pm
If those who say that they are homosexual were created homosexual, WHEN were they created homosexual??

==…not going to waste my time stating the same things over and over.==
You mean that you already answered the questions I asked above? Where? Tell us where we can go and find the answers you gave to those questions.

==…an unfortunate number of people in the society are all too vocal …==
Soooo, it’s all about the Freedom of YOUR Speech, not ours. We see, but we knew that already.

Mr Increidble, is an incredible idiot!
I would like to ask him, what makes him an authority on God? Where you around when the Bible was written, or did you write the Bible? The Bible does say God created ALL creatures. Sorry Jack! Guess that throws your theory about God not creating gay people out the window. You quoting the Bible like you understand it shows your incredible ignorance. When is the last time you sat and listened to the people speak who wrote the bible? Are you aware words in the bible such as “virgin” and “abomination” do not have the same meanings they had when the bible was writtens. Also, did you know the Bible wasn’t writtin in English? It was translated.
Another thing I find puzzling. What gives you the right to judge? How is your life so much better than anyone elses that you have that right? I would take from you comments you feel you are “normal” and gay people are not. I beg to differ. Anyone who spews hate, and obviously is so full of anger, is not “normal”. Perhaps you should seek help.
Also, why are you so caught up on bashing gay people? How does two people of the same sex loving each other affect your life? Don’t give any of your bullshit rhetoric…answer the question.
If I had to guess, you’re white, your overweight (gluttony) and you probably have to friends outside of your race.
Hate is caused by fear, fear is from the unknown, the unknown is ignorance and ingnorance is bliss. Educate yourself before you push your beliefs onto others.
It amazes me how in this country, so called “Christians” will raise almost $100 million dollars to fight against equal rights for all citizens, because they hate gay people, yet they don’t use that $100 million to feed hungry children…right here in this country? Now that’s what Jesus would do…..I’m sure of that!
Did you know Christianity is one of the newest religions in the world? Did you also know population wise, it is much smaller than many other religions….so…..how is it “the way”?
Also, if you ever do care to educate yourself, you’d find the life of Buddha and the life of Jesus have many parelles. They both were born of miraculous birth, they both had suffering, and both died for people. Buddhism also has the 8 foldpact, which is the 10 commandments condensed into 8….but was written 2000 years earlier.
So Mr Incredible bigot. Why do you spend so much time on hate? What is it that really is bothering you?
Whether you know it or not, someone you love is gay. Whether you know them or not, someone gay is fighting for rights from which you will benefit!
GET A LIFE!

What “bible”?
==Are you aware words in the bible such as “virgin” and “abomination” do not have the same meanings they had when the bible was writtens [sic].==
When reading the Word of God, you take His meaning, not ours.

Irrelevant.
== It was translated.==
Irrelevant.
==What gives you the right to judge?==
What tells me that I cannot?

That’s correct.
== I beg to differ.==
Nooo! Really??? So what?

Translation: “I don’t agree with you and, therefore, you, not I, spew hate.”
==… and obviously is so full of anger, is not “normal”. Perhaps you should seek help.==
The healthy need no physician.
==…why are you so caught up on bashing gay people?==
I’m trying to help them. If I listened to YOU people, I wouldn’t be able to help them.
== How does two people of the same sex loving each other affect your life?==
They don’t. It’s the homosexuality that affects this society, this culture and this country. I am a citizen of all three, and, so, I gotta say-so.
== Don’t give any of your bullshit rhetoric…==
Translation: “Anything you write that doesn’t agree with me is BS.”
==…answer the question.==
I did.

Ahhh, a leeeetle racist there.

I have “two” friends, or “no” friends?

Then, maybe you oughta stop hating so much.
== Educate yourself before you push your beliefs onto others.==
I already have educated myself.

What does a scoffer know about Jesus???
Those wo cloaim to be homosexual already may marry; a man claiming to be homosexual may marry a woman who claims to be homosexual.
==Did you know Christianity is one of the newest religions in the world?==
Irrelevant.
== Did you also know population wise, it is much smaller than many other religions….so…..how is it “the way”?==
The Son of God says so. He says so cuz God says so.
==Also, if you ever do care to educate yourself, you’d find the life of Buddha and the life of Jesus have many parelles [sic]. ==
Irrelevant.
==They both were born of miraculous birth, they both had suffering, and both died for people.==
Buddha paid for nobody’s sins.
== Buddhism also has the 8 foldpact, which is the 10 commandments condensed into 8….but was written 2000 years earlier.==
Buddhism is a phoney religion.
==So Mr Incredible bigot.==
Resorting to clichés again.
== Why do you spend so much time on hate?==
Why do YOU?
== What is it that really is bothering you?==
You can’t read, huh.
==Whether you know it or not, someone you love is gay.==
No one I love is homosexual.
== Whether you know them or not, someone gay is fighting for rights from which you will benefit!==
That’s what the Homosexual Internet Militia PR says.
==GET A LIFE!==
God, through Jesus, has already given me life, thanks.
