    • What is wrong with you people. How can such a hate crime be accepted. If this gets internationally ignored than shame on the whole world. And shame on you people who waste your time thinking up ways to hate. If you think God is approving of this then you don't know your 'devil' as well as you think. You have come to resemble him.

    • This whole new age attitude of "inclusiveness at the cost of common sense" is our death knell. What it really is?... too many of us refuse to condemn what we KNOW is wrong...because we have our OWN perversions and if we condemn someone ELSES we may have to stop what WE are doing. So...with this insane un-logic in mind we pretend that a queer is normal, natural and healthy...Even 30 million dead from aids does not turn us from our own filth.

      We show up at the lincoln center to "celebrate" a known child rapist homosexual on his birthday, pretending HE'S normal. We boast of/protect a sexual predator and call him Mr. President instead of violent rapist. Entertainers and sports figures who rape kill and murder are our heros even tho we KNOW what they really are. You say Michael Jackson: king of pop...but you leave off...baby raper who has sex with invalid minors...William Jefferson Blythe Clinton the third...former president of the united states of America...but forget rampant sexual predator/violent rapist. you call o.j. simpson a football superstar, champion black athelete...but forget to call him Violent murdering racist who nearly severed the head of the white mother of his two children because she left him for a white man...

      One day, we will all have to pay for this Grand era of Make-believe. hey dummies. wake up. the Emperors is BUTT NEKKED, yall'

    • HEY DUNBE
      yeah right. that whole do not murder thing...

      which isn't in the bible,btw.

      how bout that ROMANS CHAP. 1 thing?...even nature itself tells you that it is an abomination for man to lie with man, and for the woman to leave the natural use of the man and lie with a woman, working that which is unseemly...etc etc. Then the God you CLAIM to serve closes this chapter with ...knowing that they which do these things are worthy of... since you claim to be a pastor, I'll let you look up that last word for yourself. Pastor of what church? that condones what God clearly condemns.

      well iv got an interesting place in the bible for u to go its called exodus... gosh what was it..20, which if ur not familiar with is the 10 commandments and oh maybe it was the 6th one... oh u know it may even be repeated somewhere... oh gosh where else would the bible repeat itself maybe deuteronomy 5 was it... man its like the bible wants us to remember that or something. but no only if someone like je... nooo it cant be he wouldnt right.. he said we should all be biggeted haters of all people not in the faith... gosh i must not be very good at this christianity thing cuz its right there in mathew 5 explaining that even if we think of murder its like were doing it in our heads which is a sin against our brother.
      ok and then ur romans point. we get it there in the bad i never said they werent. but what we learn as christians is not to judge others who arent in the faith and to love everyone. does that mean except everyone . HECK NO!! but theres a difference between loving and supporting isnt there.
      i am not a pastor, im training to be one and i hope to be a decent one some day. the only thing i stud up for was them not being put to death because i dont remember jesus, or paul for that matter who spent a lot of time in Greece so he had a lot of time for it, telling people to kill gays.
