News Coverage: 2008 Equality Ride Stop at Liberty University

[91wmay]

I think it is great that liberty was open to a different view. Homosexuals should feel safe at universities.

[carolbmi]

"That's like saying i was born to lie, cheat, and lust." --- No, it's like saying that you are born with a certain color of eyes, your right- or left-handedness, or whether you are a morning or night person. It's a given.

:There is no gene saying that anyone is born gay or a murderer, or a rapist." --- Although there has not yet been found a gene that determines sexual preference, it goes both ways: there has never been found a "straight" gene either.

"

[libertywarrior13]

While there is no straight gene, sex between a man and a woman is the only way to procreate. so that should say something.

[libertywarrior13]

no but a person can't reproduce being gay. only heterosexuals can reproduce (for it takes a man and a woman to procreate). So it has nothing to do with preference. It has everything to do with morality. using your argument, murder could be a preference, and yet it is universally accepted that it is quite the opposite. What determines morality? Is it absolute? if, not what determines what is right and what is wrong? Can you answer any of these questions, because I can!

[2Timothy4vs5]

Homosexuality is as sick, perverse and deviant as pedophilia, bestiality or any other sexual perversion. Its un-natural and sinful. For these people or any other like minded person to say that this is not a sin and somehow its ok with God is blasphemous! Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

[sweateddrummer]

as a Bible believing christian, i draw my views from the infallible, inspired word of God. anyone who's looked into this topic in the word knows exactly the stand we christians need to make... be pissed if you want, the Bible is absolute truth, you people should really stop trying to find ways around it... startin to piss some of us off, all you're doing in claiming to be a christan involved in this lifestyle justs gives Christ and all he stands for a bad name.

[tighttritenight]

I presume that condone killing homosexuals...the bible surely does

[sweateddrummer]

no. that would be murder. i never mentioned killing homosexuals you liberal prick. don't try and skew my words.

[tighttritenight]

No, but you claim the Bible is the infallible word of god, infallible meaning "never wrong". The old testament sentences homosexuals to death. If you truly believe the Bible than yes, you do condone the murdering of homosexuals.

[xplosiv757]

owned!

[Phantomseeker293]

Those laws were written in order to keep sexual diseases from spreading throughout the Israelite population. If someone really wanted to, they could just leave. When someone forces others to bear with them when they are engaging in a way that is physically unhealthy, its a person's right to distance themselves. Since the Israelites were nomadic throughout much of their history, all a homosexual had to do to avoid that judgement would be to break off from the group.

[libertywarrior13]

Truly "avoiding judgment" is not accurate, because there is always a punishment for sin. So really there is no "avoiding judgment" except through Jesus, who paid our punishment for us.

[RaleighRepubican2012]

I would like to apologize for any students that may have made hateful comments on here. As Christians we should be loving to those with different opinions. As Christians we must also deal honestly with sin and Biblical truths. Homosexuality is sin, as is adultery, polygamy, and all other forms of sex outside or marriage between one man and one woman. The amazing thing is that you can asks for forgiveness, trust Christ for salvation, and Repent of your sin. All things are made new in Christ!

[rockyrockpretty]

These soulforce people do not go around spreading the gospel of Jesus, they have taken Jesus out and are spreading the gospel of homosexuality.

[mummyfunk]

you people have more in common with the people of fundamental Islamic countries than the average intelligent American.

[Kite208]

Lot fucked his two daughters and God never said a thing.......

Plz, You realigiouse people are soooo lame

[WateredEgg]

oh wow i didn't even realize it im sorry god that i have been so disrespectful as to be like you created me i mean i guess i was just CREATED THAT WAY so i could burn in hell for sinning!golly gee i feel so bad that i have sinned! i am gonna change it right now cause god is obviously planning on hurting me for this!

[Phantomseeker293]

blegh. In case you don't know this, nobody was "created gay." That's a misinterpretation of real facts. People are created with a desire for companionship and also with a natural desire to be sexually active, but homosexuals are simply people who choose to pursue those desires in ways that are not healthy or even natural! If they want to engage in those activities and get more STDs than 90% of the population has, they can go ahead. They can't demand that we would encourage it though.

[wkwellons]

I go to LU and I believe that homosexuality is wrong.. but what you are saying here is wrong. You shouldn't say things like this.

[Gabster1990]

I actually aplied to go here...

[gaelicscots]

Calling liberty university a university is a joke and a fucking disgrace.

[boomtastic67]

I'm smarter than you.

[luckliberty]

get out of liberty you fucking fags. I'd like to cut the dicks off of every homofag in america and stuff it down their throats

[boomtastic67]

your an idiot, and i'm ashamed to go to the same school as you.

[johhny3rubs]

hey dummy. how the fuck does one major in pre-med. you're an idiot. your ass is glued to your face. go fuck yourself for wasting time trying to correct me for your stupid fucking grandma er.

"What about those who don't struggle?"

Well said, man. That was quick thinking.

[crimsonwizard1988]

LOL Liberty university is a psuedo-college. God I feel sorry for science students there, they're not gonna get proper jobs lolol

[boomtastic67]

I'd beg to differ. I'm a Pre-Med major and i get guaranteed acceptance into V COMMs med school as long as i have a 3.5 at Liberty. I'd say that's a nice opportunity. In addition, we do learn about evolution and use the same curriculum as any other university would. If you'd like, i'll give you a link to places were LU Bio majors are getting jobs and were Medical students are being accepted as well.

[scottishnationalist]

If you believe that the earth is 6000 years old and dinosaurs played fetch with humans. You are a fucking disgrace. You ignorane, you sheer ignorance is revolting and disturbing. If you believe in creationism FUCK YOU, and I say that from the bottom of my heart.

Liberty university is a joke, it is a joke around the world.

[boomtastic67]

Lol ok buddy. Your comment is just dripping with eloquence.

[scottishnationalist]

Boomatastic fuck off and read your bible shitrag you moron

[johhny3rubs]

boombastic...what exactly is a pre-med major? i would suggest english lessons as well. you're, not your.

i still can't believe that people go to a school started by pig falwell. piefuckers

[boomtastic67]

LOL are you joking johnny? "Your" was the correct word to use in my comment. If i put "you're" that would make it to where my previous comment said, "you are comment is just dripping...". Congratulations on looking like a huge idiot in the process of trying to act smart. And Pre-med is Pre-Medicine or in other words a person who is going to be a medical doctor.

[johhny3rubs]

other comment assmunch. and pre-med in some american schools these days...like liberty... = being a fucking tool with a degree from a dead pig

[boomtastic67]

If you really enjoy correcting peoples grammar on the internet then try putting a question mark at the end of your sentences: "how the fuck does one major in pre-med." Quit using grammar as a red herring argument to divert others from the fact that your an ignorant prick.

As for your ever so classy description of liberty and its founder, i think you and the other people on here bashing liberty are just as foolish as the homophobes also commenting on this video. your just another extreme...

[johhny3rubs]

liberty is a joke. deal with it

[bud2play2]

At the end of the commentary Jean Jadhon was like "hmmm I am sure they will". Talking about the group that will look at the books to see if they will be allowed in the library. She said it kinda funny, lol.

[Rycon973]

Why do Christians have to assume gays choose to be gay? That they're all struggling to become straight? We even had Palin talking about how some of her friends choose to be gay. I mean come on. There's no big brother in the sky watching who you go with.

[1Th1617]

Rycon973, The Bible says "A fool says in his heart there is no good." God exists and is real whether you choose to acknowledge him or not. And he believes in you!

[Rycon973]

You give the awful impression of someone who has done little to no research on providence. People like you don't just assume god's existence, but claim to know his thoughts. There are thousands of gods out there; everyone is an atheist regarding the gods of others. An

[Rycon973]

And the correct bible verse is "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." (Psalm 14:1) Well, the supposed carpenter of Nazareth told his flock to be prepared to be mocked. And yes, Liberty University is not a real school. They claim to have a 5,000 year old dinosaur.

[libertywarrior13]

So you believe that gays are born gay? That's like saying i was born to lie, cheat, and lust. Science has disproven this. There is no gene saying that anyone is born gay or a murderer, or a rapist. Did Christ tell us to be prepared to be mocked? yes. "For no servant is greater than his master". Never once did he tell us to take everything lying down either, to just give up. And being an atheist requires as much faith (if not more) than just believing in a Creator.

[Rycon973]

So you are equating homosexuals with murderers and rapists? Really? Man they really did a number on you down at Liberty. I bet you're one of those people who believe that gays recruit others like an army recruiter - handing out flyers and holding information sessions. Why are you so obsessed with what hole people put their penises/fingers in? It is an obsession with you people. I wouldn't be surprised if your liberty teachers sodomized a hooker in class just teach you its wrong. (Ted Haggard)

[SaintofAntioch5]

1 Corinthians 6:9

1 Timothy 1:8-11

In order to have a valid argument in this matter a complete and valid version of the Bible is required. Certain things just can't be ignored.

[gizmobirdman]

"I'm sure they will"...? what the heck? how do you know?

[olcranky]

I think it's what she doesn't know that lead her to make that statement

[carolbmi]

I'll be following as the Equality Ride progresses - watching for the wonderful young people to show that you can be gay and have faith in Jesus Christ. Keep up the good work, riders!

[libertywarrior13]

I find it more than a little disturbing that the SoulForce people stated that it was fine to be gay and religious. They were stating it as if its perfectly alright and there is not a need to change. The Scripture says, "Be holy, for I am holy" and "Don't just listen to the word and deceive yourselves-Do what it says". So SoulForce presents a major dilemma. They contradict themselves. God abhors it. Either the Bible is right or it is wrong. It cannot be both.

[libertywarrior13]

And I understand how new believers may struggle with homosexuality. Just as all of us have our thorns in our sides. But there is a fine line between trying to change and flippantly not caring at all. Be imitators of Christ. If you are not, you are not representing Christ to a perverse, dying generation. "Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it." -William Penn

[WtF1234445]

i find it really disturbing that liberty preaches hatred and intolerance on a daily basis. hey i got a scripture for you Romans 12:18 "if it is possible as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone" from what i see liberty students don't live in peace with anyone but themselves they don't even try so sad...

[jtswanner12]

@WtF1234445 i go there... I live at peace with everyone I know. Including non-Christians. I'll be your friend, if you let me.

[mrpinkpanther2010]

This makes me sick. How can ya'll call yourselves Christians when you live a homosexual lifesyle. Homosexuality is an abomination.

I don't ever want to see SoulForce on my campus again. Worst of all, I hate how Jerry Jr. didn't have yall arrested like Jerry did in 2006. It makes me even sicker how ya'll were given a permit to come on the campus. Gays should not be given equality. This nation is heading to be just like Sodom and Gimorrah.

[RasputinaMan]

y'all isn't a word. neither is yall. and so is ya'll.

Why didn't you say something to them? You know, go talk to them and make an idiot out of yourself?

[mrpinkpanther2010]

y'all is a contraction for "you all." Just like They're is to "They are." Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean that it isn't a word. Oh there are three more contractions. Don't, doesn't, and isn't.

[mrpinkpanther2010]

y'all is a contraction for "you all." Just like They're is to "They are." Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean that it isn't a word. Oh there are three more contractions. Don't, doesn't, and isn't.

[RasputinaMan]

You still haven't answered my question as to why you didn't say something to the horrid terrible evil malicious satanic gays at LU, you know...

stand up for what you believe in instead of bitching about it on YouTube ex post facto.

[mrpinkpanther2010]

If you must know, I am taking 18 credit hours this semester, I'm marching band,and jazz band, so don't even have time. Plus, their appearance wasn't even announced. We all saw the bus and were like "what? no one said anything about them coming back" Oh yeah, I passed by a whole group of them going back to my room with my suitemat after lunch, and they had their cameras and all their stuff and they never said a word to me. So...

[enku1]

Go Soulforce!! Woot!

[scottnjaime]

so glad there is a small group of students at LU who are showing the love of Christ...people who are realizing that our enemies are not flesh and blood.

and way to go Soulforce...keep up the good work.

[cassidhesmom]

So awesome! My sister is on that ride. Caitie, I'm so proud of you!

[shrinkwrap]

courtney's on tv! that is all.

[chloefork]

Yes, I do not care for religion either, however I am a student at the University of Virginia and 3 of us joined with Soulforce that day just to support the LGBT students at Liberty and what they have to go through. In fact we're shown at about 1:15.

[jerrydoubleu]

I could give a shit about religion, but Soulforce is doing good.

[keguribap]

Great to see this good work by Soulforce. The PR work they have done should not go unnoticed. We need all the media attention we can get! Go Soulforce!

[tommyatz]

amazing. go 2008 riders
