Hardly. If we had Christian "tolerance" workshops the way the ACLU is pushing gay workshops the libbies would be in an uproar.
You mean "Fundie" tolerence work shops. Well if the Fundies would stop trying to tell everybody else how they should live and behave there would be no need for it.
Same would be true if the gays wouldn't run rampant with their sexuality the way normal people do.
Example of how Gays are any more rampant with their sexuality compared to "Normal" People? You ever watch TV, listen to music or read A's in magazines for Liquor and suchj? It's all about "Normal Peoples" sexuality. Of course when your only view is that of you lower intestinal tract it's easy tio understand how you might have missed it.

Exactly, you want the law to keep them in the "closet". You know, in another thread, you said that divorce was a sin but accepted by god becuase we are not perfect. That's convenient that you give yourself that out but dont give gays the same leniency. I just think that you should be fair.
Divorce is acceptable because an adulterous, unhappy marraige no longer holds the true spirit of God. There are grounds in the Bible for divorce.

Homosexuality is activity befitting the devil and is never acceptable.
Maybe for you but your religious beliefs should have no bearing on those who do not share them. Of course like I posted earlier you don't seem to get that and then you wonder why others condem you when you try to force those beliefs on those who have no interests in them. Here's an idea, just live your life and let others live theirs.

How do they behave any differet from any other couple? I've seem plenty of diplays of public affection from straight couples. They kiss, they hold hands, same as any gay couple. So how is it, that you can accuse them of being rampant? Please, provide specific examples, if you could.

Homosexuality is activity befitting the devil and is never acceptable.

But that's my point. You believe this based on a religion. We have freedom to worship as we please here. By forcing people to adhere to the teachings of a certain religion, you are forcing it upon them. That goes against everything american.

You're free to lead your life as you choose, but so are other people.

kinda odd, really...
how can church endore something that is explicitly against what bible says? I'm not realigious by any means, but this is kinda odd...

Yeah, I know. I just don't get it. These people in the UCC should be conflicted because they're encouraging something which is completely against their beliefs. I don't get it.

Acceptable for whom? I bet if it was done in some Hick Fundie Township in North Carolina there would be outrage by the local Bible Thumpers, many of whom don't believe that Catholicism (it's a Catholic Festival) is really Christianity

Nope, I don't consider Left Wing Extremists sites credible either.

You're probably right. It's acceptable for the people in New Orleans, wouldn't work in other places.

I guess anyone who disagress with the Massachusetts ideology is an extremist. Not suprised.

Short of Howard Dean, I doubt there is a leftwinged extremist to someone like you.

Ok, first things first. All your text links are from conservative groups or chirstian groups. It seriously undermines your credibility when you can't quote any less partisan sources.

Secondly, as per your parade links:

So, I take it that gays have the monopoly on festivities celebrating their sexuality? I think not, how about Mardi Gra, or Carnivale at Rio, Cancun, Senior week at Myrtle Beach or Ocean City. Anyone that has ever attended any of these couldn't miss how much raw heterosexuality is at these events. I just listed the most common that everyone hears about.

The truth is heterosexaulity is far more rampant in our culture than anything homesexauls do. Just turn on the TV, listen to the radio, look at a bulletin board, read a book, listen to the local office gossip.

As for teaching homosexuality in schools. Last I checked they were teaching heterosexulaity in schools. But, until you use more credible sources, I really don't see the point of debating this.

That's my point, let them be. What works for you, doesn't work for them and vice versa. They won't make you hide that you're straight or a christian because you have the american right to be free and they in turn deserve the same right. I don't expect you to put a rainbow sticker in your car window and you're free to criticise their life style all you want, but you should not be able to legislate it out of existance just because it disagrees with a religion. We don't do that in America. That's part of what makes us great.

And I don't know why you degenerated into an attack on liberal ideology and Howard Dean.

I agree. They have the right to be whatever they want to be.

Let's get back to the topic of the thread: Christians permitting gay marriage.. It's completely different from legalizing gay marriage or even accepting gays.

We have come a long ways from the topic. Anyway, I still don't see the problem. You're free to worship the lord however you like. Why can't they? You interpret it differently. Different interpretations are the reason we have about a million different christion denominations. If you have a problem with this, you should have a problem with the existance of all those other sects and their different beliefs.

I wouldn't know, I am new to the Mass area. FYI, MA was founded by Puritanical Extremists much like you and your Brethren, I guess they were able to overcome it with the influx of Catholic Immigrants.

FYI I live in a Blue Collar Neighborhood where the vast majority are not "Liberals" and they really aren't all that comfortable with Homosexuals. But instead of making it a big issue about it they just live and let live.

I'll say this for Boston, there is not many places in the US that are more patriotic probably due to the fact that their history as the place were the Fight to free ourselves from King George started.

I don't have a problem with them worshipping or attending Church. I do have a problem with them endorsing gay marriage. Different sects don't do things that are sinful, they just believe different things about the history of the Church, who can interpret the Bible, and how one is saved. Christian marriage is defined as between a man and a woman, in the Bible. I just don't understand how the members of the UCC can promote something which is against the Bible. Accept and love gays, but don't encourage them to live with one another and have sexual relationships.

Forcing children to attend gay workshops is hardly leaving us alone with our own beliefs.

You can choose to dismiss whatever you like. I've never heard of straight parades or workshops, teaching someone how to put a condom on isn't teaching people to be straight.

And that's where you're wrong. I grew up Southern Baptist. It is a sin under the teachings of Southern Baptists to drink alcohol. The body is a temple. All of the other denominations were wrong in allowing and sometimes even encouraging drinking. Another example would be a lady that lived on my block belonged to a congragation that said it was a sin to gamble. Yet, I knew another person that had raffles at thier church. These are all inconsistincies in what is believed to be a sin as expressed by the bible. If you can live with these inconsistincies then you shouldn't have a problem with the UCC worshipping in its own way.

Acceptable for whom? I bet if it was done in some Hick Fundie Township in North Carolina there would be outrage by the local Bible Thumpers, many of whom don't believe that Catholicism (it's a Catholic Festival) is really Christianity
You're probably right. It's acceptable for the people in New Orleans, wouldn't work in other places.

I guess anyone who disagress with the Massachusetts ideology is an extremist. Not suprised.

Short of Howard Dean, I doubt there is a leftwinged extremist to someone like you.

That's my point, let them be. What works for you, doesn't work for them and vice versa. They won't make you hide that you're straight or a christian because you have the american right to be free and they in turn deserve the same right.

And I don't know why you degenerated into an attack on liberal ideology.

I agree. They have the right to be whatever they want to be.

Let's get back to the topic of the thread: Christians permitting gay marriage.. It's completely different from legalizing gay marriage or even accepting gays.


We have come a long ways from the topic. Anyway, I still don't see the problem. You're free to worship the lord however you like. Why can't they? You interpret it differently. Different interpretations are the reason we have about a million different christion denominations. If you have a problem with this, you should have a problem with the existance of all those other sects and their different beliefs.

I don't have a problem with them worshipping or attending Church. I do have a problem with them endorsing gay marriage. Different sects don't do things that are sinful, they just believe different things about the history of the Church, who can interpret the Bible, and how one is saved. Christian marriage is defined as between a man and a woman, in the Bible. I just don't understand how the members of the UCC can promote something which is against the Bible. Accept and love gays, but don't encourage them to live with one another and have sexual relationships.

And that's where you're wrong. I grew up Southern Baptist. It is a sin under the teachings of Southern Baptists to drink alcohol. The body is a temple. All of the other denominations were wrong in allowing and sometimes even encouraging drinking. Another example would be a lady that lived on my block belonged to a congragation that said it was a sin to gamble. Yet, I knew another person that had raffles at thier church. These are all inconsistincies in what is believed to be a sin as expressed by the bible. If you can live with these inconsistincies then you shouldn't have a problem with the UCC worshipping in its own way.

I don't live with these inconsistincies.. that's why I'm not Southern Baptist or Unitarian or Methodist or Catholic or any of the others.

Same would be true if the gays wouldn't run rampant with their sexuality the way normal people do.

How do they behave any differet from any other couple? I've seem plenty of diplays of public affection from straight couples. They kiss, they hold hands, same as any gay couple. So how is it, that you can accuse them of being rampant? Please, provide specific examples, if you could.

And that's all that much different than the Parades in New Orleans during Mardi Gra or having women flash their tits for beads during that festival?

That's a acceptable cultural parade for everyone, not a deviant sin-promoting perversion for heretics and queers.

Do you have any sources that have the slightest bit of credibilty Fundie Boy?

You couldn't have read all of that in 5 minutes.
Didn't have too, I just looked at the sources and knew that it was Fundie or Ultra Right Wing nonsense.

No one who has an opinion on an issue is ever credible, eh?

You may have any opinion you what. His is that yours is worthless. Mine is that he is more credible than you.

Fundamentalist Christian bigotry has a unique and easily recognizable stench. It isn't unexpected for folks who live around skunks to wrinkle their noses at the sight of black and white stripes.

Bigots are disgusting but, remember, we don't hate the skunk, we hate the smell or at least I do.

When you crawl out of your feted and rancid cult churches and lift your tail at the Constitution don't be surprised at the shotguns that start pointing your way.

Every time you bigots preach your bigotry you shove your asses in our face.
