Yes, but we are told to consent to things that are only moral in the eyes of God (having six wives, a same gender lover, sex with a dolphin, or procreating with your sister aren't).
And no one is telling you not to apply your moral convictions to YOURSELF.
Allowing immoral people to "do their own thing" doesn't work in society. To make things worse, when you legislate in favor of immoral people "doing their own thing", REALLY BAD things happen to innocent people ( as shown in my link below).
You cannot legislate morality ... you can, however, legislate criminal behavior. I have as yet heard anyone arguing against keeping child molestation, rape, murder, theft, etc. illegal.
I'm not the one that wrote the 1972 "gay agenda"
Movements that want to move ahead with their legislative agenda meet and organize in order to do just that. The 1972 "gay agenda" meeting was just that. Most of the goals on the platform have already been met ( legally diddling 8 year old boys isn't one of them YET).
So because their are *some* gays that wish to move ahead with a legislative agenda that is evil, you believe ALL should be penalized?
You do realize there are certain religious individuals who also want evil legislation passed that would execute homosexuals, adulterers, fornicators as well, correct?
Still yet, most of us shrug it off for what it is ... the minority of religious fanatics gone mad.
First of all democrat and Al Gore supporter Fred Phelps isn't a Christian, he HATES everyone, including soldiers that die fighting for our freedoms (that you take for granted).
Actually he IS a Christian. Just because you consider him an embarrassment, there is reason to deny what group he identifies himself with. He is the pastor heading the Westboro Baptist Church based in Topeka, KS. I am not sure why you are so harsh on old Fred ... you and he are rather similar.
What's rather ironic is that individuals such as yourself have no problem accusing non believers of endorsing beliefs that do not apply ... sort of like your intentional LIE that I take the soldiers dying for our freedoms for granted. I am not the person, Mr. Selective Morality, who wishes to impose their religion on others and thus do away with freedom of and
from religion.
More importantly the doctrine of Christianity and atheism are at total ends of the spectrum. Because so-called Christians murdered innocent women, doesn't mean they were following the doctrine of Christianity (they weren't).
It means they were INFLUENCED by their religious beliefs ... deny it all you like.
Atheistic homosexuals (excuse me for being redundant),
No ... I won't ... nor will I let it pass that excluded Christian homosexuals.
have no doctrine of their own, other than what they borrow from Christian dogma.
:yawn: There is good reason to not murder, rape, torture, beat or molest other human beings. Furthermore, we only have the claim of Christians that their morals and their book were inspired from a superior deity ... one that has never been proven to exist, btw.
The Libertarian ideology of "It's MY body and I can do with it as I damn well please!" rules their moral relativist mindset when it comes to their own special interest (in this case homosexuality).
Unless they are causing physical harm to another human being without their consent, feel free to show how this is wrong.
There is no such thing as *sinners* or *sin*. Sin is a religious transgression.
who HATE God and His Laws,
:yawn: It's impossible to hate someone or something that one does not believe exists.
might speak softly against other sins (such as child molestation), but who are they to speak out against another sinner when they themselves are doing the same thing?
Easy answer: Child molestation is not a *sin* ... it is a CRIMINAL ACT. I can very easily speak out against Christians and non Christians alike who violate a child or commit rape or murder. Why ... because I do NOT do that and have no reason to condone it. It harmful, causes permanent damage and in the case of murder, ends a life.
As you will see in the link below, you're sorely needed in Sweden.
Refer to my above "Who am I to question you if we're both doing your own thing" comment.
Rational people realize that "doing your own thing" suggest consenting adults ... not children.
While capital punishment for moral degenerates hasn't been discussed in this thread by me (so I don't know why you're implying so), there would be cases where it should be imposed:
It doesn't take long to know the type of zealot who wishes to impose their religion on others, especially when it comes to matters of consensual sex. To put it bluntly, you are the elephant in the room.
spreading deadly infectous diseases through CONSENTUAL sex or through "CONSENTUAL" blood donation (i.e. lying on your screening application).
When have I ever stated that someone who lies and knowingly spreads an infectious disease shouldn't be punished and charged with attempted murder? Better yet, IF they knowing give tainted blood and cause the death of another human being, they should be tried for murder.
That also goes for individuals who have conditions that cause great harm, illness or death such as HPV, herpes, syphilis and Hep C. It is completely reasonable for individuals who KNOW they are infected to inform anyone they sleep with that they will be at risk. I agree that to do otherwise is criminal. Of course, this too goes back to CONSENT. To not inform someone that they may be at risk is taking away the person's CONSENT.
That link has nothing to do with MY opinions or views and does not apply to me.
