Sodomy

         We see a Naval vessel in the background which belongs to the most powerful nation on earth, made from steel,iron,brass etc. that all came out of the ground...Leviticus 26:4 KJV - Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit... All wealth comes out of the ground and GOD created everything and owns everything, but gave it to us as a blessing...So GOD also gave us his laws and blessed us, but would curse us and take everything away if we disobey...So here we have a PROUD Navy vessel returning home from war exercises represented by 2 Lesbians kissing
that were chosen as the Navy tradition...So you think the Navy is PROUD !!!...Leviticus 26:19 KJV - And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass...Leviticus 18:22 TLV - Homosexuality is absolutely forbidden, for it is an enormous sin...
Folks, this nation has broken all of GOD'S laws and this is as like spitting in GOD'S face !...Where is the outrage ?...Where are the protests in the streets ?...What has this nation become ?...What's worse is what will happen next because GOD has already removed his hand of protection from the USA...Hold on,it's going to be a wild ride to the bottom...

But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you, Matthew 11:24

There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Deuteronomy 23:17

And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 1Kings 14:24

`And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood is on them. Lev 20:13

"The Netherlands is the only country in the world that permits same-sex couples to marry. The law, which went into effect April 1, 2001, eliminates all references to gender in laws governing matrimony, divorce, and adoption"

"Judaism does NOT forbid homosexuality -- as TORAH never mentions homosexuality. It does forbid homosexual 'sexual acts' as a religious act ... at pagan temples and male prostitution --all very common among the PAGAN tribes of the Middle East", R�ain, Tuesday, December 31, 2002 7:41 PM

California Supreme Court decision to overturn the will of the people and allow homosexual couples to marry by a sharply divided Court (4 to 3) set the stage for same-sex marriages to begin June 16th, overturning the will of the people when on March 7, 2000, the people of California voted overwhelmingly (61.4%) in favor of Proposition 22 which affirmed, �Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California�

May God put this court in hell for an eternity for such HATE of HIS Law, & the rule of law and!

In December 1973, the American Psychiatric Association's Board of Trustees deleted homosexuality from its official nomenclature of mental disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Second Edition (DSMII). The action was taken following a review of the scientific literature and consultation with experts in the field.

"Six of the eight states where 50 percent or more of the public supports gay marriage are the states with the highest proportion of Catholics, ranging from Rhode Island at 46 percent to New York and California at 37 percent. Meanwhile, the eight states most opposed to gay marriage include six of the seven with the lowest proportion of Catholics, from Alabama at six percent to North Carolina at nine percent. In other words, support for same-sex marriage is directly proportional to the percentage of Catholics in a given state�

"In the United States gays and lesbians can legally marry in [six states] New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, and Vermont, and Washington, DC."

The Problem is: jews and Catholics

Thanks to gay sodomizing AIDS carrying Catholic priests, the percent of Americans who claim to be Catholics is now less than 20%. Since 46% of them "favor gay marriage", this is a mere 9.2% of all Americans. Since Jewish sources claim the population of Jews in America has recently declined from 2% to 1%, and since 76% of them "favor gay marriage", this is another 0.76%, for a total of less than 10%, who favor gay marriage. For what reason, then, should the other 90% of us permit this amoral, AIDS-ridden, degenerate minority group to impose this vast affront before God upon us? How can 9 out of 10 Americans even begin to have real free exercise of religion when we are being dictated to by this decrepit church?

Did God let us down? Did He fail to punish such egregious sinners? Not exactly. He killed more than 35 million gays, plus another 1 million gay Catholic priests, with the long and painful "disease and pestilence" we now call AIDS.

<<<White mainline Protestants and white Catholics have become more supportive of gay marriage, though virtually all of the change in opinion among both groups has come among those who attend services relatively infrequently.

About half (49%) of white mainline Protestants support same-sex marriage while 38% oppose this. This is a reversal of opinion from the past two years when 40% favored and 49% opposed allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally. Just 35% of white mainline Protestants who attend church at least once a week favor same-sex marriage, nearly the same percentage as in 2008-2009 (34%). Among those who attend services less often, support has increased by 11 points (from 42% to 53%).

There has been a similar shift among white Catholics � 49% now favor same-sex marriage while 41% are opposed. Opinion was more evenly divided over the past two years (44% favor, 45% oppose). Here too, support has increased among those who attend services less than weekly, from 51% in 2008-2009 to 59% in 2010.

White evangelical Protestants overwhelmingly oppose gay marriage (20% favor vs. 74% oppose), and these opinions have changed little since 2008-2009. Similarly, black Protestants continue to oppose gay marriage by a wide margin (28% favor vs. 62% oppose).

By contrast, Jews and the unaffiliated have remained far more supportive of same-sex marriage. Their views also have changed little during this time. Three-quarters of Jews (76%) and 62% of the religiously unaffiliated say they favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally.>>>

The Gay LIE!

"All Americans are entitled to equal rights, except convicted felons who are properly deprived of liberty for the term of their sentence. We're all entitled to "due process" as well. Not even a felon can be deprived of his or her rights without due process of law. In any event, you're not wildly off topic for this thread. Here we're talking LGBT couples being issued marriage licenses on the same basis as heterosexual couples. Those are the equal rights under discussion. "

When you claim you want "equal rights" for "all Americans", aren't you excluding 86% of the VOTERS in Mississippi, 76% in Texas, 61% in North Carolina, 71.6% in Kentucky, 69.4% in Nebraska, 68% in Alaska, 66% in Hawaii, 61.4% in California, 57% in Oregon, 53.4% in Colorado, all of whom VOTED to outlaw gay marriage?

You DO NOT want them to have "equal rights" much less free exercise of religion, do you?

YOU who represents less than 0.37% of the population want to FORCE them to accept mortal sinners into their midst.

How do you get that "right"?

"On average, approximately 66 students participated per school, yielding a statewide sample of
4,204 students. This sample represented 80% of the students enrolled in the classes originally
selected. The main factor that determined the 80% student response rate was school attendance
on the day of survey administration. The combined school and student response rates yielded
an overall response rate of 77% (96% x 80%). Due to this high response rate, the
information in this report provides accurate estimates of the prevalence of the health risk
behaviors among Massachusetts high school students."

Three justices (Ternus, Baker, and Streit) who ruled against we the people of Iowa in their overwhelming public mandate to outlaw gay marriage were just removed by we the people of Iowa, just as we the people of California will soon remove Judge Roberts who ruled against TWO overwhelming public mandates from us. Gay marriage is legal in only 12% of the states: New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, and Vermont, and Washington, DC. Voters in Vermont tossed out 4 Republican and 1 Democrat legislators who voted for gay marriage.

The only explanation for why gay marriage APPEARS to be gaining acceptance is that women voters are one third more likely to accept them than men voters:

87% of the American Jewish Committee, 73% of Jewish women, 82% of atheist Jews, support gay marriage.

The Holy Bible Requires the DEATH PENALTY

Two thirds oppose "lesbian rights"

Poll Results

There's nothing that reveals the zeal and ability of zionists to destroy this Christian nation more brilliantly than the battle between 'we the people' and our own politicians in their attempt to impose "legalized" sodomy on our youth, coupled with the ability and willingness of "polling organizations" and other jewish controlled "news sources" to misrepresent American public opinion. In 1991, where The General Social Survey showed that the percentage of Americans who viewed "gay sex as always wrong" was 71%, The Gallup Organization was reporting that only 48% believed homosexual relations should not be legal, a disconnect of serious proportions.

"On November 3, 1993, by a vote of 53.4% to 46.6%, the voters of the State of Colorado passed an initiated amendment to the Colorado Constitution referred to as Amendment 2. That amendment provides: No Protected Status Based on Homosexual, Lesbian, or Bisexual Orientation". The courts struck it down, in violation of the will of 'we the people', due mostly to advocacy work by non-credible and irresponsible "polling" and "news" organizations like Gallup, who reported at that time that only 48% of the people they polled "think homosexual relations between consenting adults should not be legal". More reputable polling organizations reported that "Seventy-four percent of Hawaii residents polled are opposed to same-sex marriage, and yet just four members of the Hawaii Senate were able to kill a constitutional amendment that had already passed the House of Representatives by a two-thirds majority. This action by four senators to prohibit Hawaii residents from voting has citizens outraged". This 26% disconnect between Gallup and reality was the beginning of the end for the credibility of formerly objective polling and news sources like Gallup.

The schism widened in 1996 when Gallup reported that opposition to legalizing sodomy was now down to 44%, yet "The federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) specifically states that the federal government will not recognize a same-sex relationship treated like a marriage. This means that, under the current law, parties to a civil union will not be able to qualify for any of the benefits and protections contained in the 1049 federal laws affecting the spousal relationship". "DOMA became Public Law 104-199 on September 21, 1996"

Encouraged by their previous failures, as most "liberals" always are, Gallup then reported in 1999 that opposition to legalized homosexual relations was down to a mere 43%. But that was less than one year after "The electorate of Hawaii voted on November 4, 1998 to amend the state constitution to permit the legislature to ban same-gender marriage, effectively ending the possibility that marriage will be granted to same-gender couples in that state." "69% of voters approved a ballot initiative which changed the state constitution to allow the legislature to restrict marriage to heterosexual couples", meaning that Gallup was now under-reporting opposition to legalized homosexual relations by 26%. Was Hawaii some remarkable exception to the norm? No. "In Alaska the case for same-sex unions was weaker, but still a threat to traditional marriage. In February a lower court determined that denying homosexuals the right to marry violated the Alaska constitution. In response, 68% of voters approved a measure which amended the state's constitution to limit marriage to one man, one woman". Gallup was again off by 25-26%, which in polling is much bigger than a mile.

False information from Gallup has now become legion. Their report that the percentage of voters who favored the legalization of homosexual relations was now up to 50% encouraged the "liberal" California court to attempt to attempt to legalize "gay marriages". Even a Field Poll conducted prior to the passage of Proposition 22 suggested that Gallup was not far off target, indicating that only 51% of Californians supported it. Yet with all of the misinformation and false information, with Gallup proclaiming from the rafters that opposition to legalized sodomy was down to 43%, 63% of California voters still gave common sense and Christian principles a landslide victory on March 7, 2000 and passed this ballot initiative to BAN such marriages. Vermont's courts attempted to do the same thing, and Vermont voters reacted by passing a similar initiative to ban same-sex marriages. In December 2000, "In Nebraska, unofficial election results indicate an anti-Gay ballot measure there passed by a margin of 70 percent to 30 percent among 640,310 voters. Initiative 416 calls for amending the state constitution so marriage is recognized only for heterosexual couples". "In Nevada, unofficial election results indicate 589,865 residents there voted on a proposed anti-Gay ballot measure and approved it by a margin of 69.4 percent to 30.5 percent. The measure sought to amend the state constitution so that only a marriage between a man and a woman is legally recognized in that state". "In Maine, the Human Rights Campaign supported the efforts of the YES on 6 for Equal Rights Campaign. Question 6 gave voters the opportunity to enact a law banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in employment, housing and public accommodations. If it had passed, it would have marked the first time that voters had passed a state law to protect lesbian, gay and bisexual people. Voters in Washington state rejected a similar initiative several years ago after the Legislature passed a measure requiring a ballot vote". The icing on the cake was in 2005 when 76% of the voters in Texas said not just NO, but ".ell NO" to sodomites with Proposition 2 (a proposition which the "news" media hardly wrote ten words about).

Again, Gallup was off by a mile. State after state after state proved that their biased sodomite polls under-represented opposition to "legalization of homosexual relations" by a minimum of 20%, all the way up to 27%.

Is Gallup "the gang that can't shoot straight", are they all faggots, or are they so intent on destroying the moral fiber of this Christian nation that they just can't permit a mere thing like facts to get in the way? As if though 35 state initiatives to ban "gay marriages" isn't enough to get the message across to these despicable "liberals", they then attempted to change the wording to "civil unions", JUST in order to attempt to side step the restriction on "gay marriages" implemented by 'we the people' in legitimate public mandates. Such weasel wording will be met with the same resolve that the immoral supporters of affirmative action met, no matter how disconnected from reality "polling organizations" like Gallup get.

None of the organizations which pride themselves on being objective pollsters were even close to reality. The Pascoe Poll showed 56% of voters opposed "gay marriages", which was the closest to reality, but no state's initiative passed by less than 63% and the average was closer to 70%. Environics poll was even further off the mark than Gallup, and actual public opinion against legalized sodomy exceeded Gallup's estimate by almost two thirds.

Is it really this difficult to get more accurate polling results than this? Absolutely not. NORC managed to break down American public opinion by all kinds of racial, age, and sex categories several decades ago, and even now their results were the closest to the actual vote counts in state after state. Has public opinion changed since NORC conducted their survey in 1985-1989? Not according to REAL people going to REAL poll booths and creating LANDSLIDE VICTORIES against sodomites and the amoral crew who support them. Their survey showed that 69-70% of the voting age group between 25 to 44 opposed same sex relationships, which is exactly how the voters of each state voted.

State and Federal Referendums

Sodomy Polls

Canadian sodomy polls & opinions

Only 10% believes that it is "not wrong at all". Only 1% profess to be "gay", and 3% of those who have committed sodomy report that it was "against their will". The Gallup Organization reveals the left wing [read: jewish] agenda of that organization when, rather than asking whether or not existing laws against sodomy should be upheld or whether or not Christians who follow the Holy Bible have a right to free exercise of religion, asked:

As you may know, there has been considerable discussion in the news regarding the rights of homosexual men and women. In general, do you think homosexuals should or should not have equal rights in terms of job opportunities? http://www.gallup.com/poll/Indicators/indhomosexual.asp

Phrasing this as a question of "rights" in the work place is patently dishonest, but even so an increase from 56% to 83% on this question is not a good sign. One of their other polls of parents about their children's schools found that 61% oppose "Teaching homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle" which is only slightly more honest, but far more in conformance with more respectable opinion sources like "The Statistical Handbook on the American Family" which found that 70% believe homosexuality is wrong. But the final proof that Gallup is an advocacy organization rather than an objective polling organization is the following title to their March 10, 1999 poll on sodomy:

To the 70-83% of Americans who oppose the legalization of sodomy, it cannot be considered "negativity" to uphold existing laws against sodomy, particularly when sodomites have a 30 year shorter life expectancy than normal people, and when our public "schools" (which must be banned) have become bastions to promote sodomy.

The "Gaying" of America
By Chuck Baldwin
March 20, 2001

A recent Reuters report declared, "More Americans Having Gay Sex, Study
Shows." The article stated, "Positive media images of gay life - like hit TV
shows 'Ellen' and 'Will and Grace' - may be helping spur an increase in gay
sexual activity among Americans, a new study suggests. A national survey has
found the percentage of US women who say they recently had gay sex has
increased 15-fold from 1988 to 1998, with rates among American men doubling
over the same period."

There is no "may be" about it: America has become a breeding ground for
aberrant sexual behavior. Homosexuality currently enjoys social acceptance
not seen since the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, or Pompeii. And there is
nothing on the horizon that suggests that the trend will deescalate anytime
soon.

The current generation of school children is being taught that sexual
perversion is normal, even healthy. Sodomy is not only acceptable; it is
fashionable. Many health "experts" today promote lesbianism as a means of
preventing unwed motherhood and teen pregnancy. They even suggest that
lesbian sex protects girls from acquiring Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD
's). Sex educators today promote the concept that homosexuals are born that
way and, therefore, the only way one can know for sure if they are gay or
not is to experiment with homosexuality.

Even our "conservative" Republican President has given an openly gay
activist a White House office. And rather than returning our military to the
pre-Clinton policies (policies that had been in place since George
Washington was Commander in Chief of our armed forces) that excluded
sodomites from military service, President Bush just last week declared that
his administration would "crack down" on homosexual "harassment" in the
services.

It is also more than interesting that the man whom Bush selected to be our
ambassador to Canada is a man who superintended over one of America's most
liberal sex education programs, Massachusetts Governor, Paul Cellucci. Under
Cellucci's leadership, the state sex education program actually taught
14-year old children how to engage in homosexual sex. But by today's
standards of tolerance and diversity, this is hardly considered
inappropriate, even by "conservatives."

Adding to the politically correct acceptance of homosexuality is the fact
that many governmental agencies and major corporations offer insurance
benefits to these same-sex fornicators, thereby giving them the cultural
approbation that heretofore had been reserved for married couples. It is
also common for courts to routinely grant child custody to homosexuals. And
even many mainline Protestant churches perform same-sex "union" ceremonies,
trying to give the appearance of divine acceptance.

However, if history teaches us anything, it teaches us that any nation or
society that fully embraces aberrant sexual behavior has entered its final
days of existence. From the Canaanites to the Roman Empire, every culture
that openly accepted homosexuality has been destroyed. The United States
will not be the exception.

America will not be preserved by tax cuts or lower interest rates, but by a
national recommitment to the great moral principles given by God. In the
final analysis, America will be judged not by her politics or commercial
enterprise, but by her faith and fidelity.

Romans 1:24-27 / Lev 20:13 / Lev 18:22 / 1Cor 6:9,10 / Deut 23:18 / 1Kings 14:24 / 1Kings 15:12 / Deut 22:5 / Gen 19, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah / Romans 1:24-27 :

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their earts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies to one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lust. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abondoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penality for their perversion.

Lev 20:13 : If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is destestable. They must be put to death, their blood will be on their own heads.

Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Deut 23:18 : You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute nor a male prostitute into the house of the Lord to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detest them both.

1Kings 14:24 : There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations of Lord had driven out before the Israelities.

1Kings 15:12 : He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his fathers had made.

Deut 22:5 : A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.

Gen 19:1-11,24-29 : The Destruction of Sodom and Gomarrah The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. "My Lords," he said "please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning." "No," they answered, "we will spend the night in the square" But he insisted so strongly that they did go with im and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom - both young and old - surrounded the house. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof." "Get out of our way," they replied. And they said, "This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We'll treat you worse than them." They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. But the men inside resached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.........(verse 24begins) Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah -- from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities -- and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnance. So When God destoryed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.

Is this confusion due to the fact that a person seemed to be a better

homosexual?

What's different? The sin or your toleration of the sin?

What if your family member were a confessed murderer or pedophile? Would
you not judge that person? Do you think the love spoken of in the Bible is
dependant upon not judging?

>He used to be Christian and attended church faithfully. Then his 'church'

Is it really? It seems that the man Paul spoke of in 1 Cor 5:1, who was
having illegitimate sex, was a faithful church attender in Corinth
also. But Paul demanded the church in Corinth put away that wicked person
(1 Cor 5:13). Was Paul being "UN" Christian?

>We as Christians are NOT to judge others.

What do you do with Christ saying to judge righteously (John7:24)? Or
Paul's saying to: turn away from evil people (2 Tim 3:2-5), avoid those who
go contrary to doctrine (Rom 16:17), withdraw oneself from those that walk
not as he's been taught (2 Thes 3:6), have no company with one that refuses
to do as he was taught (2 Thes 3:14), count such a person as an enemy(2
Thes 3:7) and reject a person that refuses to repent of his sin (1 Tit
3:10)? Or John's admonition to not receive one that strays from the truth
(2 John 1:10)

>We are to love the person and hate the sin.

Where is that in the Scriptures? Do you think the Bible is wrong where it
says God hates those that live in sin (Psalms 5:5)?

> If I try to "change" him,

Do you really think you could change such a person?

>isn't that judging him as being wrong, sinful or an abomination?

Was Jesus, Paul and John wrong to say Christians should recognize evil
doers and avoid them? Does not John say if you even bid such a one God
speed you're a partaker in that persons sins (2 John 1:11)? Does not Paul
say to reprove those living in sin and to have no fellowship with them (Eph
5:11)?

>Never would I call someone I love an abomination.

Not even if God does?

>That is not for me to say as that is a judgment on my part.

How can you follow Christ's admonition to judge righteous judgment if you
don't judge? Do you not think that God has already made the judgment on
sins, e.g., homosexuality?

>NOW, I wonder just how homosexuality can be considered a "sin" by God.

You can't understand how a vice that does not beget children, ends
ancestral lineages, spreads diseases, is consumed with self gratification
and causes very early death is a sin? Remember the wages of sin is death
and the average male homosexual has about a 30 year less life span than a
heterosexual. The homosexual way of existing is a death style. It doesn't
continue bringing life into the world, spreads diseases that cause death
even to non-homosexuals (remember Kimberly Bergalis?) and shortens the
participants own life. God's Law is life (Pro 6:23), not death.

>God created all peoples and NONE are perfect.

That's right and they are commanded to repent regardless of how they say
they are born. Some pedophiles, alcoholics & murderers (serial killers)
say they were born that way. Do you believe just being born a certain way
negates what God labels as sin?

>In spite of what the scripture says, I have to wonder at a God who would

Do you call murder an abomination? That's a physical act!

>IF it is done between two consenting adults.

So do you think it was OK for Jack Kevorkian to murder all those
consenting adults?

Does that make sin any less a sin? And how do you know this? They told
you or you heard it? Just because you think people are happy doing things
that God calls wrong, what does that prove? Didn't Christ say men love
darkness because their deeds are evil (John 3:19). Being happy in sin is
nothing new. The carnal mind is not subject to God's Law (Rom 8:7).

>The Christian in me recoils at homosexuality because I've been conditioned
>to regard it as revolting, by scripture.

Considering the make up of the male and female body and the purposes they
were created for, do you think same sex relationships are natural? If not,
can you say you don't recoil at the thought of homosexuality because of the
Law of God on your heart?

>The LOVE in me is blind, and refuses to see the "sin".

Perhaps you've been conditioned by the media to believe such a thing?

>I love the person anyway.

What is love?

>Is this not what Jesus wants us to do and be?

God's word said to love good and hate evil (Rom 12:9).

> Loving and non-judgmental?

Do you think these two conditions can co-exist per the Bible?

>Aren't we supposed to love our neighbor as we love ourselves?

Yes! That's what God told the Israelites (Lev 19:18) just before He told
them to put homosexuals to death (Lev 20:13).

Thanks,

Only if by "just nations" you mean "African". Laws regarding
sodomy between two males:

Mayrutania illegal; punishable by death
Nigeria illegal; punishable by death
Sudan illegal; punishable by death
Afghanistan illegal; punishable by death
Pakistan illegal; punishable by death
Iran illegal; punishable by death
Saudi Arabia illegal; punishable by death
United Arab Emirates illegal; punishable by death
Yemen illegal; punishable by death

However, examining some of the, um, blonder regions of the
Earth, we find:

Austria legal since 2002; male-male age of consent is 14.

Australia legal everywhere by Federal action since 1994;
age of male-male consent varies from 14 to 21.

Germany legal in W. Germany since 1969, East since 1989;
male-male age of consent is 14.

Iceland legal; male-male age of consent is 14.

Sweden legal; male-male age of consent is 15.

Switzerland legal since 1992 (by national referendum);
male-male age of consent is 16.

-- cary

-----------------------------------------------------------------

What you IGNORE is that sodomy in these "blonder regions" which USED to be just nations was ILLEGAL for the 2,000 years prior to the time the JEWS got there and perverted the law. You also ignore that ALL crime rates in just nations which continued to UPHOLD GOD'S LAW, like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and UAE, are MUCH lower than ours, simply because they DO follow God's Law.

Our failure to uphold God's Law doesn't come from we the people--it comes from JEWS who Jesus WARNED weren't even people:

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John 8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Children of the devil are not people. Permitting jews to even BE here is a violation of God's Word and Jesus' commandment. OF COURSE permitting jews into the country would result in a resident of DC being FOUR HUNDRED TIMES [400X] MORE LIKELY TO BE MURDERED than a citizen of Saudia Arabia or Iran or Iraq or the UAE, with nary a sound byte.

So how do the jews in the "white" house "solve" the problem? THEY BOMB IRAQ TO RAISE THE CRIME RATE THERE, rather than reducing the crime rate HERE.

What should happen to "teachers" who "teach" our White children that sodomy is a "right"? Send 'em to Iraq and let nature take its course--which ALL just nations SHOULD do.

Gay Marriage

Canada

�It is now legal for gays and lesbians to marry every place in Canada. There is no residency requirement for Canadian marriage, but that does not mean a Canadian gay marriage will be recognized by other countries.
How to Get Married in Canada

Europe
�Sweden became the seventh country to legalize same-sex marriage on April 1, 2009. Marriage licenses for same-sex couples became available beginning May 1, 2009. Couples who are currently in civil partnership can chose to keep that status or have it amended to marriage.

�Norway became the sixth country to legalize same-sex marriage on May 11, 2008.

�Netherlands (Holland) has full marriage and registered partnership rights for same sex or opposite sex couples.

Alleged Victim�s Mother: Jerry Sandusky Admitted It "To My Face" 13 Years Ago

Alleged Victim's Mother: Jerry Sandusky Admitted It "To My Face" 13 Years Ago The Patriot-News of Harrisburg (PennLive.com) has done yeoman's work covering the Penn State scandal. Sara Ganim, a reporter for the paper, has been the most dogged in ferreting out details, and her story today managed to get comments from the mothers of two of Jerry Sandusky's alleged sexual assault victims. Both women are understandably outraged at Penn State officials.

The first is the one whose son, identified in the summary of the grand jury indictment as Victim 1, came forward two years ago with the allegations that triggered the grand jury's investigation. The second is the mother of Victim 6, whose complaint led to an investigation by university and municipal police in 1998�an inquiry that resulted in no criminal charges against Sandusky. According to the grand jury summary, Victim 6's mother even spoke to Sandusky on two occasions while a pair of detectives eavesdropped. And it was during one of those conversations that Sandusky answered, "I don't think so ... maybe," when the mother asked him point-blank if he had touched her son's "private parts" in a shower.

The mother of Victim 1:

A few weeks before her son broke down and confessed to a principal at Central Mountain High School in Clinton County that he was being molested by Jerry Sandusky�a volunteer football coach at his high school�his mother began to suspect something was wrong.

First, it was because her son was acting out. When she grounded him, she said Sandusky demanded he be able to "take care of it."

"I said, �No way, he's my kid,'" she said.

Then, her son began asking her about an online database for "sex weirdos."

"You don't want to just accuse people of that," the mother said. "I called the school principal and the guidance counselor and said, if nothing else, he's taking my son out of classes. He's leaving the school with him. ... So I asked them to call him into the office and ask [my son] how he felt.

"They did call him to the office that day and I remember [the principal] was in tears and she said, �You need to come here right away.'"

Her son, then 15, broke down and told them what happened.

The mother of Victim 6:

When the mother confronted Sandusky, he said: "I understand. I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won't get it from you. I wish I were dead," according the presentment from the grand jury.

An investigator for Children and Youth Services broke the news to the mother: It was all a big mistake, the mother said she was told. The police officer who investigated won't comment. Neither will the former police chief.

"Jerry Sandusky admitted to my face, he admitted it," the mother said. "He admitted that he lathered up my son they were naked and he bear-hugged him. If they would have done something about it in 1998, and then again in 2002�there was two chances they dropped the ball and I think they should all be held accountable."

Her son, she said, can't stop thinking about Victim One.

Another bizarre twist: Ray Gricar, the Centre County district attorney at the time of the 1998 investigation into Victim 6's allegations, has been missing since 2005 and was declared legally dead in July of this year. We may never know why Gricar did not press charges against Sandusky, despite Sandusky's admissions�per the grand jury report�that he had showered naked with the boy and hugged him. The hard drive from Gricar's computer turned up on the banks of the Susquehanna River six months after his disappearance, according to this story Ganim wrote three years ago, when she was still at the State College, Pa.-based Centre County Daily Times. Whatever was on that hard drive will forever be the subject of speculation now.

Ganim's story about the victims' mothers can be read in its entirety here. For an archive of all of her work on the scandal, go here. The Patriot-News also published a front-page editorial today calling for Joe Paterno and Penn State President Graham Spanier to step aside. That can be found here.

A Guide To The Child Sexual Abuse Charges Against Jerry Sandusky, And To Penn State's Alleged Willful Ignorance

Good grief! This is no joke

Do you know what Liberia, Taiwan, CHINA, Japan, Cyprus, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Indonesia, Tajikistan, Algeria, Lithuania, Mongolia, Norway, New Zealand, Pakistan, Romania, Serbia, and Uzbekistan ALL have in common? They are the countries which have recorded NO cases of HIV. They are ALSO the countries with the FEWEST AIDS carrying, child abusing Catholic priests who openly promote legalized gay marriage.

Do you know what Estonia, the Dominican Republic, Panama, El Salvador, the US, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, France, Peru, Costa Rica, Italy, Luxembourg, and Paraguay ALL have in common? They are the countries with the HIGHEST rates of HIV. They are ALSO the countries with the HIGHEST percent of AIDS carrying, child abusing Catholic priests who openly promote legalized gay marriage.

Do you know what the District of Columbia, New York, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Delaware, and Rhode Island all have in common? They were the states in 1993 who had a rate of AIDS deaths which was up to 100 TIMES higher than many other states. Do you know what ELSE they ALL had in common? They were the STATES with the HIGHEST percent of AIDS carrying, child abusing Catholic priests who openly promote legalized gay marriage.

Do you know what Mississippi, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Alaska, Idaho, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina, and Tennessee ALL have in common? They ALL had very low AIDS death rates, with Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana reporting NO AIDS cases. And you guessed it. They were ALSO the states with the LOWEST percentage of AIDS carrying, child abusing Catholic priests who openly promote legalized gay marriage.

Which six states STILL have the utterly highest AIDS death rates? The very six states (New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, and Vermont, PLUS Washington, DC.) which just legalized gay marriage, thus giving AIDS deaths a government stamp of approval, are ALSO the states with AIDS death rates as much as FORTY TIMES HIGHER than non-Catholic states.

Obama Supports Gays, LOSES 10% of Voters

WASHINGTON -- It�s been one week since President Obama, prodded into action by Vice President Joe Biden�s remarks on a Sunday talk show, granted Robin Roberts of ABC News an interview in which he revealed his personal policy shift on gay marriage. Whether or not Obama�s decision, and the way it was handled politically, will make a difference on election day is still anyone�s guess � and may always be. Parsing reactions by millions of individual voters, particularly on an issue that ranks far below other concerns for most Americans, obviously involves a measure of guesswork.

That said, the first wave of polling is in, and the results aren�t looking particularly good for Obama. Taken together, four different national opinion surveys over the past week, by reputable organizations with good track records, indicate that the president�s stand could well hurt him politically. Unsurprisingly, the numbers are fairly close; but as often gets pointed out, tight elections are decided by small numbers of votes.

Perhaps the most encouraging sign for Obama comes from a new ABC/Washington Post poll, which found that independent swing voters had a slightly more favorable than unfavorable view of his position (though the results were a statistical tie, given the margin of error for that subgroup). ABC�s analysis, by statistician Damla Ergun of Langer Research Associates, pointed out that independents who reacted most strongly to the decision tilted against it, and that �strong sentiment can better predict voter turnout and vote preferences.�

A Gallup poll found that the overall change in public opinion was a� net minus� for Obama, though the organization cautioned that these results could change, depending on the degree to which same-sex marriage is, or is not, a campaign issue in the fall.

The latest New York Times/CBS poll showed that 26% of voters were less likely to support Obama as a result of his announcement, compared with 16% who said they were more likely to support him. But the small overall sample size and the lack of any valid sub-group data make those numbers fairly useless for purposes of predicting voter behavior. The poll did find, however, that a clear majority of Americans regarded Obama�s declaration of support for same-sex marriage as largely a political move, which doesn�t help him at all.

A fourth poll, by the independent Pew Research Center, found that 25% of Americans felt less favorably toward Obama, while 19% felt more favorably, as a result of his shift. But among independents, there was no measurable change. Nineteen percent regarded him more favorably, 19% less favorably, and 60% said the decision had no effect.

These numbers are only secondarily about overall attitudes toward the issue of gay marriage. The New York Times poll, for instance, found that 38% of Americans favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry, though longer-term trends continue to move in the direction of overall public acceptance.

There�s also a reasonable argument to be made that those opposed to gay marriage were never particularly disposed to vote for the president�s re-election, and that his decision will continue to energize his supporters (though it also is having the same effect for evangelicals who might have been cool to Mitt Romney because of his Mormon faith).

Overall, the poll data, particularly among voters in the middle who typically decide close elections, would seem to validate Obama�s earlier decision to avoid endorsing same-sex marriage prior to Nov. 6. These new poll numbers also should encourage at least a measure of skepticism toward claims, by the president�s aides and advisers after he decided to make the announcement, that Obama was planning to support gay marriage all along, just not until later in the campaign. At the very least, there remains a question about the degree to which a final, irreversible decision had been made.

Below are excerpts from releases by some of the polling organizations:

Gallup/USA Today: A key to assessing how the change in Obama's view of same-sex marriage will affect his vote share this fall would be to look at its effect on independents, and on Democrats and Republicans whose views are different from the majority of their party.

Specifically, 23% of independents and 10% of Democrats say it makes them less likely to vote for Obama, while a smaller 11% of independents and 2% of Republicans say it makes them more likely to vote for Obama. Those figures suggest Obama's gay marriage position is likely to cost him more independent and Democratic votes than he would gain in independent and Republican votes, clearly indicating that his new position is more of a net minus than a net plus for him. However, those figures also underscore that it is a relatively limited group of voters -- about one in three independents and fewer than one in 10 Republicans or Democrats -- whose votes may change as a result of Obama's new stance on gay marriage.

It is important to note that the poll's results give a sense of Americans' immediate reactions to Obama's position. It is possible that the impact of Obama's same-sex marriage position will ultimately be greater or lesser, depending on the attention paid to the same-sex marriage issue during the duration of the presidential campaign.

(Gallup/USA Today poll was based on telephone interviews conducted May 10, on the Gallup Daily tracking survey, with a random sample of 1,013 adults, ages 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia)

ABC News/Washington Post: Some elements of the political equation are clear. Seventy percent of Democrats view Obama�s declaration favorably; 76% of Republicans respond negatively. But swing-voting independents tell a more mixed story: On one hand, they tilt slightly more favorably than unfavorably overall, 49% to 43%. On the other, somewhat more independents respond strongly negatively, 35%, than strongly positively, 26% � and strong sentiment can better predict voter turnout and vote preferences.

(Survey was conducted by landline and cellphone May 9-13 among a random national sample of 1,008 adults.)

CBS News/New York Times: Does Barack Obama�s support of same-sex marriage make you more likely to vote for him, less likely to vote for him, or wouldn�t it affect how you will vote one way or another?

More likely�16%

Less likely�26%

No effect�57%

Nationwide telephone survey of 615 adults, conducted May 11-13.

The fallout from Pres. Obama's flip-flop on marriage continues. Sixty-two percent of Americans say, in a new Fox News poll, that it was just a political decision on Obama's part (including a plurality of Democrats, 46 percent to 38 percent).

As NOM's political consultant Frank Schubert told California's influential insider Flash Report:

"After months of very carefully managing expectations about his 'evolving' position on gay marriage, President Obama suddenly found himself last week careening between powerful forces like the steel ball in Elton John's 'pinball wizard.' His own Vice President threw him into the pinball machine, and then his Education Secretary thrust the plunger, launching him into game."

"...The left is jumping for joy at their accomplishment, forcing President Obama out of the closet on gay marriage. Their celebration will be short-lived, though, because they have very likely cost him the presidency."

A NYT/CBS news poll showed that a whopping 40 percent of Americans said Pres. Obama's endorsement of gay marriage would affect their vote. Among independents, by a 2-1 margin they said it would make them less likely to vote for Obama.

As Katrina Trinko of National Review put it, "It looks like Barack Obama's decision to support gay marriage is hurting him in the polls."

In one congressional district in Arkansas, according to a new poll, Obama is leading a virtually unknown candidate (with no funds) by only seven points, 45 to 38 percent, in the Democratic primary. "The president's policies are wildly unpopular in a party which has historically supported mainstream Democrats like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton," says Republican state representative David Sanders. "He's got some major problems, I think. A lot of it is driven by his new position on marriage."

North Carolina is so important to the re-election chances of Barack Obama that he picked Charlotte as the host city for the Democratic nominating convention.

On May 8, all his careful plans came crashing down when 61% of voters in a North Carolina referendum adopted a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

...Obama's embrace of same-sex marriage will help ensure he becomes a one-term president, and his political demise will begin with North Carolina.

Our victory for marriage was so impressive that the prominent Democratic firm Public Policy Polling sent out this Twitter missive as the results came in: "Hate to say it, but I don't believe polls showing majority support for gay marriage nationally. Any time there's a vote, it doesn't back it up."

Other pollsters and polling experts are beginning to admit the obvious: It's easy to rig polls to get Americans to say they support gay marriage. But those polls do not reflect the real underlying support for gay marriage.

When offered the "out" of civil unions, for example, just 37 percent of Americans say they support gay marriage in the Fox New polls. This doesn't mean they are actually for civil unions, as the North Carolina vote makes clear. It means they want a way to express support for marriage without expressing hatred towards gay people as human beings, with real, genuine civil rights.

The media is not acknowledging that marriage supporters don't reject being respectful and civil towards gay people�that's very clear. The Dan Savages of the world have reduced any expression of disagreement with gay marriage to the status of hateful, ignorant and bigoted assaults on gay people. The most committed stand up to the pressure.

The mushy and uncomfortable middle tells fibs to pollsters, who are then repeatedly and predictably surprised by election results.

The same week that Pres. Obama endorsed gay marriage, the vitriol and hatred directed as people who oppose his marriage flip broke out into the news media in two different ways.

Young Bristol Palin innocently blogged against Pres. Obama's marriage flip-flop, especially the way he cited his children as his moral authorities in the matter. The result, she says, is a torrent of hatred and death threats.

"People claim they're just trying to protect the right of two people to love each other�a right I don't contest, by the way�and then spew the worst words imaginable at someone they disagree with," Palin, the eldest daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, writes. "If the agenda is love, why do you hate so intensely?"

Near the bottom of the post, Palin displays some of the worst feedback she's received, including death wishes against her and her family.

"You all, including your son, deserve a slow, painful and miserable death," one commenter wrote. "Your backwards thinking is so sad because the world is moving forward and you will certainly be left behind. May death be upon you."

Palin wonders why her remarks�in which she criticized President Obama for consulting his daughters about gay marriage�prompted such nasty backlash.

(The Palin flap prompted our co-founder Maggie Gallagher to blog, "Unwed Moms for Marriage Unite!" on the Corner at National Review.)

Popular pro-wrestler C.M. Punk himself blogged death wishes to his fans who opposed his endorsement of gay marriage after our great win in North Carolina, according to LifeSite News:

To one objecting fan Punk replied, "Kill yourself." He told another supporter of the nuclear family to "drink bleach."

...In another tweet, Punk castigated the amendment's supporters as "So many stupid people. Bigots."

I was perhaps most shocked by the news that a Hollywood shopping mall has banned the world's greatest boxer, Manny Pacquiao, from appearing on its property�because he spoke out against gay marriage.

(The press falsely reported he had wished death to gay people, which he quickly denied and the reporter who interviewed him confirmed.)

Our Next Gen leader Thomas Peters went on Seattle radio to talk back to all the Dan Savages of the world. You can hear it here:

We are just 945 signatures away from breaking 40,000 in our DumpStarbucks.com campaign. If you haven't signed, can you just take a second to do so now?

In a press story designed to calm fears, Starbucks CEO Howard Schulz admitted that investors are worried, and they're asking about his decision to have Starbucks corporately endorse gay marriage as key to their brand.

The press did not report it, but NOM was at the Bank of America's annual shareholder meeting, which took place in Charlotte, NC one day after the great victory for marriage there.

Bank of America is the company which fired Frank Turek for having written a book opposing gay marriage:

After NOM sent a letter to the board, the corporation sent a letter back making it clear that firing people for their views for or against gay marriage was against company policy, for which we thank them.

In Charlotte, we asked the company to make this policy clear to all their employees�and their bosses. Thomas Strobhar introduced from the floor this shareholder resolution:

Whereas, the Bank of America Corporate Social Responsibility Report of 2010 says, "Employees with diverse backgrounds and perspectives enrich our business, engage us to better serve our customers and make us a better community partner."

Whereas, the Bank of America Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Statement states it recruits and hires candidates without regard to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, veteran status, marital status, medical condition or disability.

Whereas, we do not offer similar assurances of non-discrimination to job candidates or employees who publicly speak out on issues of concern to them.

Whereas, by not providing free speech safeguards we potentially deprive our company of the unique intellectual heritage, characteristics and perspectives each person brings to the job.

Resolved, the shareholders request the Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Statement specifically include protection to engage in free speech.

What happened to Manny Pacquiao is an example of the mismatch in our laws and policies at the moment. He was banned from shopping at a Hollywood mall because he opposes gay marriage.

Well, I suppose the world's greatest boxer will get over that and shop somewhere else.

But I know of no one, not a single person who opposes gay marriage, who would support banning gay people or gay-marriage advocates from appearing at shopping malls.

Meanwhile, at Liberty College, Gov. Mitt Romney received thunderous applause for speaking up for marriage from tens of thousands of young people the media never interviews: Watch it for yourself!

In his new column, Patrick Buchanan points out that Pres. Obama has only one pathway to deliver on gay marriage: the Supreme Court.

"But Obama needs one more justice. If elected, he will get it, and same-sex marriage will be forced on all of America. If Romney wins, the Supreme Court will likely leave the issue of same-sex marriage to be decided by the people and their elected representatives."
