Christians have completely failed in their out reach to the homosexual community. There are only a handful of people out there really trying and its sad to see the grief they get from other Christians.

I agree you must reach them, but you do not do it by calling the fags as this pushes them away. You do so with gentleness and respect.

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. (1 Peter 3:16)

I read some stuff on fred phelps from his son. I literally couldn’t leave reading for later (think it’s 9 chapters..has an intro to who everyone is)..absolutely riveting. I had to stop several times and look away because it was pretty graphic how screwed up that guy is, I actually think he is evil. The story can be found on http://www.addictedtohate.com .

Oops I just said the same thing you did earlier. GMTA :)

Elton John(really gay)

LOL geez..they really don’t hold back do they?

Suddenly, its not nearly as funny anymore. If it were real, that would be comedy gold.

“bj1126,”

Would you please explain what you mean by that?

I just do not understand what you mean.

There is no place for this type of hatred. People who single out homosexuals need to remember that adultery was also punishable by death in the old days and pretty much every man is guilty of that according to Jesus:

I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart (Matthew 5:28)

I am not defending homosexuality as it is a sin, I am just making the distinction. I have my own flaws to work on and need Gods grace just like anyone else (either that or cover my eyes when the Eagles cheerleaders pop up on screen).

Matthew: That guy is queer as a five dollar bill.

Lisa: You mean a three dollar bill?

Matthew: No, he’s 2 dollars queerer.

(disclaimer: Not that there’s anything wrong with that!)

That was funny/painful to watch.

I have a couple of friends at church who used to be homosexuals but left that lifestyle. Now they are extremely effective servants in the kingdom of God. Both tried to commit suicide earlier in their lives so it’s not like it’s a big joke or something to them. They grew beyond that particular sin like anyone else who chooses to can. Everyone is redeemable and loved deeply by the Creator.

Slublog- did you happen to notice that Elton John is listed twice? I guess he is just plain old gay and then he’s really gay?

I didn’t notice that. Weird.

I did notice that the Indigo Girls are listed as “The Indigo Girls” and “Indigo Girls.” Guess that means they’re double gay or something.

Well, sure they are, but “Ghost” is simply one of the best songs ever written.

Ahem.

Insh’allah.

What is it about this subject that elicits such elaborate satire?

A witches brew of arrogance, sexual insecurity, misplaced rage and existential angst.

Well…you asked.

Cyndi Lauper

Heh.

So if the gay community (and the animal rights activists) harass the scientists and impede the progress of scientific research efforts, why should they get a lot of sympathy from the rest of us when they get harassed by creeps like Fred Phelps? Seems like to me that what goes around, comes around.

What if the scientists succeed where the ministries have failed? What if scientists develop a “cure” for homosexuality? Think everyone in the gay community will still be laughing (like they are now at the ministries)? What are they afraid of? Afraid that they might be confronted with a viable choice of so-called “lifestyles”?

You’re right AP. Sorta’ ironic that there are some topics that are “just too hot” for a site called “Hot Air.”
