Dear Rick Perry, DON'T bash Gays in the Military

Dear Rick Perry, don't use your faith to bash gays in the military. This isn't a Christian issue but a civil rights issue. And don't use Jesus to gain more votes. Thanks - David

@f3cpo "God condemns homosexuals. :| just some food for thought."

Yeah, and God told people to commit genocide, and explained how they should sell their daughters into slavery, and killed babies right and left to punish their parents. Oh, and by the way, He also said you can't eat pork or shrimp. How's that for "food for thought"?

I wish you brain-dead fundies would all go off to some island and start your own Christian theocracy, and leave decent people alone.

@USP4triot christmas is a pegan tradition that is about presants, drinking, and having fun with others you love. its also about the birth and rebirth of the sun god "nimrod" (and yes that is one of his names) the christmas tree is also pegan along with decorations. in fact the only thing that is christian about christmas is the fact that people believe that jesus was born on that day. so celebrate it like a true christian. no gifts, no fun, no decorations. just worship.

@ CuffLink44 in response to your response to F3cpo- You see that was all the old covenant. The new covenant with Christ is different. Also, as for your lame conclusion about shrimp and bacon, that only apples to Jews, not Christians. God commanded his people to commit genocide because He is a just God. Meaning these people were absolutely disgraceful in the eyes of the LORD. God condemns all unrighteous people, if that means an entire nation, so be it.

@MattFrame Actually God condemns homosexuality as a sin in Romans and Corinthians. yes, God does love homosexuals, BUT, He is JUST. Meaning he will give them the punishment they deserve because he loves them. Think, if your father didn't love you, he wouldn't punish you; he wouldn't care. God condemns people because they turn away his love and sacrifice for them. Homosexuality is a slap in the face to God because of it's sinful nature.

[MattFrame]

@f3cpo, no, God does not condemn any of His children. That rancid myth is borne and spread by ignorant men whose feeble and corrupt minds have been manipulated into thinking that the Lord must hate, because they, themselves, do. God loves His homosexual children; that's why He created them that way. Why argue with His decisions?

[christhedukeofdork]

@cufflink44 No, he doesn't hate gays. he hates gay. gay is just sin. nothing more than that

God doesnt hold homosexuals with any different regard than anyone else because we are all guilty of sin and the wages of sin is death. Not just a physical death, but a spiritual one that is eternal seperation from God. He gave us a way out when he sent his son to die for us on the cross.

@IWasBornStupid then bring one to school if they try to take it away says its theft because its not illegal to bring one. you cant preach with it but you can read it on your own time like in a study hall, during lunches, or in between classes so long as it doesnt make you late. also im not sure but i dont think schools can carry any type of religious text for constitutional reasons...but again im not sure.

[IWasBornStupid]

@BigMidget06 Dx Teachers don't allow bibles in class and there isn't a one in the library. It may not be illegal but they won't let us.

[BigMidget06]

@IWasBornStupid we wont call you names but you may want to look harder at rick perry. he really does dislike gays. i mean why would he bring that up in his strong video since being gay in the military has nothing to do with school. also you can read the bible in school during your own time. its not illegal. you however can not ask the school to hold prayer rallies and such because schools are a government institution and therefore cannot do religion based things. i hope this helps explain.

[IWasBornStupid]

@IWasBornStupid Er....At least that's what I think...Don't hate on me...;W; I'm only 12 and I don't have time at home to read because I'm normally busy with chores and I most apparently can't read the bible at school sooo...D: Sorry if you don't agree with me, just...Don't call names.

[IWasBornStupid]

He never said he was against gays nor was he bashing them.He was saying that if they should be allowed to practice their sexuality children should be openly allowed to practice their religion by occasionally bringing a bible to school. What the hell is wrong with that anyway?It's not like they're shoving it in people's faces. America was created so that people could openly practice their religion. But he was an idiot for wording it the way he did. He could have done it a different way. XDDDD

[BigMidget06]

@Planerian i agree with you. killing children that have been born into this world is wrong. are they trying to do it no. do i personally know anyone in my life that has killed a baby...no. why not just yell at bombers instead of lumping people into groups. now thats more like being a racist. now i really want you to explain to me what a racist is again and how i am one for supporting a country with multiple ethnicities of people.
