Good pointScarletwine said:He may be a wonderful humanitarian, but he's also taken the Catholic Church back three steps. I also think he handled the child molestation badly. Come to think of it this is very "if this is not perhaps part of a new ideology of evil, perhaps more insidious and hidden, which attempts to pit human rights against the family and against man," he writes."

LOL! I went to a Catholic HS, and my senior year, we had to write a paper on what we thought Jesus would be in the Second Coming. I said Jesus would be a black lesbian who would get the electric chair for a crime "she" didn't commit. The reasoning being, of course, that the original Jesus defied all conventional expectations of the Pharisees, who were expecting a warrior Messiah that didn't come. With modern Christians expecting a warrior Messiah, I think little has changed.
My religion teacher knew my train of thought, so I didn't get in trouble. I was the "enfant terrible."

If you're not a Christian, then that's fine, but if you are, I don't see what your argument is.

Um hello? I am a Christian and I do not believe it is condemned nor do many other Christians.
FullonEdge2 said:
Right. I just don't get that though. Are you saying you don't think the Bible condemns it? Or are you saying that some things in the Bible are outdated and no longer relevant?
FullonEdge2 said:Well yes, it's condemned in Leviticus, and Paul mentions it too.
FullonEdge2 said:Am I perfect? no.
If you're saying I'm a hypocrite because I don't live up to the law and homosexuals don't either, you're right. Because then, all Christians are hypocrites. However, that doesn't give homosexuals the freedom to commit adultery. As long as they repent, it should all be good.
