I was not the one who was criticizing someone for bad spelling. Lord knows I'm a horrible speller. I was actually taking exception to the fact that a poster was trying to discredit what YOU said based on the fact that there were spelling errors in your post. What I was saying, if you wouldn't mind re-reading, is that the INTENT or MESSAGE of your post is what is important, not necessarily how it is (mis)spelled. if you didn't get it yet, I was defending you! btw, it's a nice wood shed. you should come by to visit... -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith 0 #64 September 24, 2005 QuoteOh well... Homosexuals or women, or anyone else who the Catholic Church discriminates against, are free to disassociate themselves from the Church if they don't like being considered inferior. Seems like a pretty simple solution to me. It's not that simple. Organized religion has been coming after the gay community for years. They refuse to leave Us alone. They lobby to make homosexuality illegal, take away our jobs, have us evicted from our homes. I can't tell you how many times I've had wonderful religious folks get in my face, after coming into the Gay community, and yell in my face telling me I'm going to hell. They need to leave us alone.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sinker 0 #66 September 24, 2005 QuoteYou must be losing your passion for your religion. You have yet to come unglued in this thread Hi Keith! Well actually, that last thread taught me a lot about losing my temper... it's not worth it anymore... not to say I won't loose it again, but hey, I'm making progress! Truth is though, I have many friends here in Nashville who are gays and lesbians. And honestly, I love them dearly. One of them, Ginger, who no longer lives here, taught me more about God than most Catholics I know. I've really tried to see things from the homosexual perspective. I still don't agree w/ those who are living the lifestyle, but I see that it isn't my job to change them... it's just my job to love them. I haven't been in their shoes and I refuse to judge them. What I can't abide however, is gay men and women coming into the church and trying to change things within. My wife used to teach at a local catholic school, the pastor was gay friendly, and one of the other teachers was a lesbian. Sorry man, but she doesn't belong teaching religion in a place where she is living a life contrary to what she is supposed to be teaching. That duplicity is very confusing to gradeschool kids.

Thunderbow 1 #68 September 24, 2005 Good article. The Catholic church is always in the news first and this kind of article very rarely appears in mainstream media.

THE WHOLE GAY THREAT THING IS A BUNCH OF CRAP. Yes I shouted it! -because I'm tired of hearing the propoganda bullshit. Have a nice day, carry on.

Sorry, Keith. I guess a was being a bit of an ass with that statement. I was writing a paper yesterday on "Sexual Orientation and the Family" (same-sex marriage, gay/lesbian parents, etc.) and another on how religion shapes a person's political beliefs, and I ended up tying the two together a bit and then feeling even more pissy than usual towards religion. (I'm all for being tolerant of other people's religions as long as they are not interfering with other people, but certain churches seem to have enough power that they use it to push their "morals" on everyone else.) It seems to me that certain religions have played a huge part in promoting inequality in our society (this current "war" on homosexuality is a perfect example). I suppose my "simple solution" comment was aimed at Catholic gays or women who felt the Church was being discriminatory by not allowing gay priests or female priests - just leave the Church. If enough people either leave or challenge some of their religion's archaic views, then we might make a little more progress in tolerance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Channman 2 #71 September 24, 2005 A good place for this individual to start is the Universalist Unaterian Church, they are open to anything. Hey when your Bible is written in pencil so you can erase what you don't like why not start there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,544 #72 September 25, 2005 Nothing wrong with UU (by the way, it's spelled Unitarian). They're not my bag, but the people at the local congregation are involved in a whole lot of public benefit projects -- hunger, planting stuff locally, helping in the women's shelters. It might not be as oppositional as parading outside Planned Parenthood telling girls trying to get birth control that they're going to hell, but, well I think it does more good in the long run. That works won't get you into heaven doesn't mean that you shouldn't do good. It doesn't mean that you can spend your money all on yourself. Being a good Christian should impel you to do good for others. Why are we given this life if not to do good, rather than fomenting division and hate? Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
