Christian extremists don't deserve to live in America.

1. "Christian extremists" (with guns) founded America.

Except that's not even close to the truth.

2. Who cares more
about homosexuals - non-believers who encourage them to engage in

that will kill 1/3 of them (and deny most of them any chance of

or believers in the Bible who are trying to save them from such a

fate? What they are doing is no different than people who try to get
heroin addicts to kick their habit.

One third?

Does it hurt when you pull numbers out of your ***** like that?

Homosexuals need to consider that the good news of the gospel is not about
how God despises homosexuality. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 shows that
certain members of that early church had been slaves to same-sex sexual
relationships but had been cleansed in the name of Jesus. So they
evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

And people should a believe a single word of this "bible" thing why?

You mean "rape."

but had been cleansed in the name of
Jesus. So they evidently repented and accepted God's grace to
straighten their lives out.

Exactly which Bible translation are you referring to? NIV? KJV?
Darby? Amplified? The Message?

And, tell me, why is one translation "better" to use than another?

For example, here is 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 in "The Message":

Don't you realize that this is not the way to live? Unjust people who
don't care about God will not be joining in his kingdom. Those who use
and abuse each other, use and abuse sex, use and abuse the earth and
everything in it, don't qualify as citizens in God's kingdom. A number
of you know from experience what I'm talking about, for not so long ago
you were on that list. Since then, you've been cleaned up and given a
fresh start by Jesus, our Master, our Messiah, and by our God present in
us, the Spirit.

John 3:16
Revelation 3:20

"Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them;
for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites
do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by
men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you
give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret
will reward you. And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites;
for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street
corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have
received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the
door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees
in secret will reward you." (Matthew 6:1-6) (RSV)

Oh, bugger off.

Look, I'm as disgusted by guy-on-guy sex as the next straight
guy. But I'm /far/ more disgusted by this Christian notion that
they've got even the slightest right to have even a bit of
interest in what consenting adults do in private.

So take your Bible and shove it up your own ***** the next time you
start worrying about what some gay guy might do to his lover's
*****.

John 3:16

Oh, that'd be the one where God confirms that, yes, in order to
proclaim the end of suffering and death he causes to innocent
people he had an innocent man tortured and murdered in a fruitless
symbolic act?

So...what's your point?

Revelation 3:20

Hmmm...let's see. ``Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me.''

Now, if /that's/ not code for ``Jesus wants to bugger you and do a
bit of 69 afterwards,'' I don't know what is. So why aren't you
out there, takin' it in the ***** for Jesus? Would you lick his *****
clean of the santorum when he's done?

Just how deep /is/ your love of Jesus?

Cheers,
