genius, in the soup kitchens, they don’t care what your sexual corruption
may be… they figure that hungry people aren’t going to have sex with
their food anyway. Also, people that are facing the possibility of freezing
to death or being rained upon, aren’t much of a sexual threat to a cot & a
blanket. However, at Christmas time, they do discriminate against
homosexuality. They don’t give naked Ken dolls to little boys. If you’re
going to speak against the Catholic Church, at least speak of
I have no idea , not being gay myself,maybe you could tell me what clout
you are talking about?
Read the founders documents. They meant free to personally believe what you
want, but most felt that religion was a personal issue and not to be
imposed on others since that affected the rights of others to have their
own beliefs. They tried hard to limit the imposition of ones beliefs onto
anothers since many of our early settlers ran specifically from
discrimination by other denominations imposing, like the christians of
today are trying to do on the homosexuals.
Where did you get that assumption? All I said is that you’re being a
hypocrite and not taking your own advice. I have a lot of friends who are
cathlolics. My *parents* are catholics. I tolerate the faith, even if I
don’t agree with it, and even if that toleration is not mutual.
While Obama opposes it personally, hes working slowly to give them their
rights. DADT is moving slowly through the system and is looking to be taken
out before the end of his term and hes signed some other rights for
homosexuals in less then a year of being in office. Dems in many states
have already made legal civil unions with same rights as marraige and
marraige in name also in some states. But its slow because conservatives
live in every state as you kn and well moneyed
If they want to receive public funding, they have to abide by the laws.
how come
Why don’t we tax gay rights groups too? After all, aren’t they pulling a
lot of clout for the Democratic Party?
what rubbish! if that is where catholic charities CHOOSES to draw the line
in the sand, then they’ve already lost the battle and can eventually kiss
all their contracts away. but this jerk is just posing. in the end, they’ll
concede and draw another line. meanwhile, the people they supposedly serve
continue to lose faith in them. religious freedom? how does that stack up
to basic human rights guaranteed to everyone except gay people?
SeparateisntEqual: I hope you understand that this will all be a moot point
when Congress vetoes Washington’s same-sex marriage bill since it doesn’t
actually have state sovereignty and Congress can’t (more like won’t) sign
off on a bill that conflicts with its own DOMA. The Church views gay issues
this way: they will feed you, clothe, shelter, educate, counsel, find you a
job, get you off drugs, etc. etc. But they will not recognize a union they
believe places its partners in mortal peril.
And perhaps you’re just an ignorant sanctimonious sack of shit. Fancy
claiming to be Christian and opposing health care…fancy claiming to be a
Christian and blackmailing government to go your way or you will withdrawal
charity from the poor. Paint it how you want…it’s pathetic. Personally, I
don’t have a problem with religion until they start playing the power game.
C.N.N., purveyors of subtle mass propaganda, S.M.P.
Chamerlengo: Not at all. An adoption agency isn’t a baby supermarket where
prospective parents shop for a child. None of us – gay or straight – are
entitled to other people’s biological children. Adoption is a privilege,
and the needs of the child matter above absolutely anything else. While the
state, on the advice of psychological study, may rule that gay parents can
provide kids’ material and emotional needs, CC can’t conscientiously deny a
child in their care a mother or father.
Oh knock it off! What, are you 12?
wow come down who cares if gays wanna get married seriously how does it
affect us? geez christain people are such retards
lol what are you five? im perfectly fine with my sexuality. im not gay but
if i was it shouldn’t matter. you have a lot of growing up to do, jackass.
something, of which, someone should speak against. They are a rather
strange institution. That, one can discern simply from the “candle of the
hands”. Or from St. Chango aka “St. Simian Selection of the Tree
Descention”. But mostly their strange because they have a mixture of good &
bad people. You can say the institution itself, has a “Jeckle & Hyde”
condition. When they’re good, they’re the best. The biggest charities in
the world, nobody does better on abortion & they built many orphanages &
Wow. You clearly have little comprehension of Biology. You seem to doubt
the fact that even certain animals in their natural habitat have been known
to display homosexual acts. The fact remains that while variations like
skin color and race are determined by the parents, these traits are
contained in lines of genetic code. It’s literally impossible for two
members of the same race to produce offspring of a different one.
@Chuichupachichi – The biggest charities in the world, nobody does better
on abortion & they built many orphanages & hospitals across the country…
the world actually! – If all that comes at the expense of discrimination
against ANYONE, be it the blacks (in the 1960s nobody would dream of
letting a black couple adopt a white orphan !! Racist and bigoted White
pricks ) or the gays, they deserve to have their adoption centers SHUT
DOWN. Discriminating against minorities is unacceptable.
StoogeWatcher: I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about with this
statement. Obama opposes same-sex marriage; others are mum except at
election time. It’s obvious that the Democrats are using gays for votes the
same way the Republicans exploit prolifers.
& we know that the only thing that determines one’s entire composition are
genes. Also, since homosexuality is a behavior, then that means that the
world’s geneticists are going to have to once again conduct the “Human
Genome Project” because they didn’t locate the “behavior genes”. They
better go back & find them cuz I don’t know how they could have missed so
many genes. Think about it, if there’s a gene for 1 behavior, then there
must be a gene for every behavior. How many human behaviors are
videosRfun: you are way out of line. You’re selfishly getting repulsed and
abusing people Jesus told you to be compassionate toward and treat with
dignity. How many gay people have so-called Christians kept from Him with
that dehumanizing word “fag”?
Think what you like. I haven’t resorted to vulgar language; you have. If
I’ve touched a nerve, I think I can guess how you don’t spend your free
time and how full your stomach will be when you go to sleep tonight. If I
have to get called a “sack of shit” for challenging you to think of others
besides yourself, I can live with that. And who in your imagination is
opposed to health care, who’s actually been providing it, and who’s biting
the hand that feeds the poor of Washington?
attention religious people: god is not real wake up and realize the truth
Did I say that? No, I didn’t. I simply believe that any religious
organization that doesn’t have to pay taxes in return for not directly
influencing government policies should STICK TO THAT DEAL or forfeit their
tax-exempt status. It’s only right.
Correct
@tkathryyn Some anti-religious people tend to speak even dumber than the
rest of the anti-religious people!
Geeze, now the church is attempting to blackmail DC… Well i for one don’t
want your bigotry affecting public policy!
(continued) Please understand that homosexuality is a major issue in
Catholic theology right now. The Catechism devotes a whopping three
paragraphs to it. There are many GLBT Catholics (I’m one) who are regularly
told by some in the Church and in the gay rights movement that they have to
choose sides – between living within their faith without guidance of how to
do that and someone else’s idea of sexual liberation. I don’t want 68,000
people to go hungry over my sexuality either.
Well.. No they would still be able to get parents, just they will have to
go somewhere else.. Since the Catholic Charities wont give the children to
the gay parents.
So does that mean Muslim groups wouldn’t have ties to the government either?
I would not expect tax exemption to be discriminatory…but universal.
You’re right the Church shouldn’t have to pay taxes any more than other
religion. I agree with that.
Can someone give me some thumb ups please?
I also have to wonder why a homosexual person in a sexual relationship
would go to work for a religious organization that views the nature of
their partnership as sinful and doesn’t recognize their civil marriage in
any spiritual sense. Gay Catholics who go to work for Catholic Charities
would already know Catholic teachings. I wonder however, can or do
non-Catholics work for Catholic Charities? Is there some kind of honor code
for Catholic Charities employees like there is for school teachers?
of Blacks reproducing with only Blacks for many generations & then one day,
they’ll have a white, blond haired, blue eyed baby. But its a good thing
that Eddie Murphy didn’t have one of those babies because after all that
talk about getting a butt naked Zebra woman, can you imagine if he would
have paid all that money, simply to get a baby that didn’t even come with a
paint job? He would have gotten ripped off
The Knights of Columbus is a Roman Catholic disease!
He spoke pretty plain english to me.
Perhaps the Church helped the poor because you, seamoremonster, didn’t.
Don’t worry; there’s still time.
so you are a homosexual…but abstain from sex because you are a christian?
so you actually think that the thoughts that you have are “detestable” in
the eyes of god. and doesnt god punish/condemn you for improper thoughts as
well?
What about Islam in public schools? I havent even heard of any issues
regarding them yet.
open your eyes and think on your own religion is wrong
@darkwolfx333 That priest scum was basically issuing a threat.
Monotreme? Please elaborate on why you chose to use that word. Furthermore,
don’t tell educated people to believe your fairytales. Gay people need not
repent. Their existence is a natural occurence in our species and others.
Even monotremes.
Too bad the church attacked first. Though you fail at knowing what bigot
means. This started in this sequence. Homosexuals wanted to get married for
equal legal rights and for the symbolism. No attack on the church. Most
states wont even allow judges to marry them, and how are judges affecting
the church by marrying people? So the church attacks homosexuals in the
name of their god. I believe its the church obsessed with attacking another
group, not the homosexuals
Tax exemption was established so small religions wouldn’t be financially
choked out of existence. To tax only the Catholic Church and not the others
would indeed be discriminatory. Let’s be clear: we’re talking about two
different categories of funds – tax exemption and the acceptance of public
money to fulfill civil contracts. No, the Catholic Church should not have
to pay taxes any more than any other religion, but neither should they be
accepting these contracts for two reasons.
there? Its not my job to count them but I know there’s way more lost genes
than there are found ones. Either that or Biological Psychology is even
more ridiculous than is Psychotherapy! oops, I wasn’t supposed to blow the
cover for the new version of Eugenics! Sorry Eugenicists… “Psychos”! But
we know gays are born gay because of lost genes & because every person that
has ever become gay, was a product of the heterosexual act. Lost genes do
that. Its not impossible. Its simply the equivalent
I’m Catholic but wtf is wrong with our church???? Separation of church and
state.
Exactly. Otherwise, it could happen where there would be one set of laws
for blacks, one set for Muslims, one set for gays, one for illegal aliens,
and one set for everyone else.
Obama is stupid…
…Hmm, that makes me wonder if they’ve adopted out kids to non-Catholic
straight married couples, cohabiting couples, or single people. Another
consideration is the wishes of birth parents. The Church forbids Catholics
to abort their children but also recognizes that even if one isn’t in a
position to raise a child themselves, they are responsible to ensure that
the kids will be in communion in their new homes. I wonder if they respect
these similar wishes for non-Catholic birth parents.
