Full support of gay rights. As an American, I find it immensely hypocritical that a country founded as an escape from oppression can so willfully oppress. This is one massive failure in church-state separation.

That's because freedom doesn't exist. This country is dellusional; built on hypocrisy and blood.  America is a disgusting joke.

Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

"I was thinking that perhaps this thing called God does not exist. Because He cannot save any one of us. No matter how we pray, He doesn't mend our wounds.

America is not a disgusting joke, it's a huge country made up of hundreds of millions of unique people that collctivly have still to get past their 'teenage years'. Because of it's size and geography America has never been invaded or really collectivly threatened. The wars across Europe have bred a collective psyche that has created a realisation that freedom is to be valued, but it comes with responsibility, a combination that too many Americans, in my opinion, don't really appear to appretiate.

I personally think the most hypocritical aspect is those that escaped oppression created segregation which in turn has helped create a lesser form of what they wanted to escape in the first place, which from an outsiders perspective seems to be getting greater.

Therein lies the inherent dangers of church based politics. As they say, history repeats itself.

Well, for me it's okay, but remember to not disturbing other people. It's your right dude.
As a straight, I suggest you to have a s*x with a girl (even though I never had one). IMO, a "sword" should have it's own place.
No offense :)

Ok, you are straight; would you take the advice of a gay person to have sex with a man? Does that sound like something you might do?

As for not disturbing other people, that can be pretty much impossible, given how easily disturbed some people are.

What do atheists think about homosexuality? This atheist thinks gay people are cool. Considering much of the world is stuck in straights-only mode, to happily and healthfuly live an open gay lifestyle is and expression of one's bravery and honesty. I say kudos to my LGBT brothers and sisters.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

Did you have to have sex with another man in order to know you are straight?

I'm guessing not.... (see where i'm going with this?)

and, lol, why is "sex" blotted out...this isn't a prude forum nor is sex a curse word; it's a natural action that people do with each other.

Fully supported by biblical text. Still a massive failure in church-state separation.

I'm not going to put on my annoying Austrian accent and ask about the use of the word "sword."
It's tempting, but I have to resist as I fear my asking reveals aspects of my psyche best kept hidden.

I wonder what hot and sweaty bedroom action between a reasonably round lump of clay and an equally round genderless pudding would look like...  ???


Hiding aspects of my personality does not make me appear less weird, so I am quite free to muse about such things ;D
