@ thenagel...
How does your son learn right from wrong?
*I* tell him.
Thats what I thought. You are sadly mistaken how children learn.
i see.
and your opinion is?
What lesson do you think your son learns when you, his Father, approves of homosexuality?
that all men are created equal, and no one should be discriminated against because of race, religion, creed, sexual preferance or nation of origin.
i never said i ' approved' of homosexuality.
in fact, i agree that the bible says that it is an abomonation, and ergo, a sin.
HOWEVER - I am not God, nor do i presume to have his authority to judge my fellow man based upon his rules. i can judge if someone is worth my time. i can judge if someone is the sort of person i want to get to know. i can judge whether or not a person is lying, full of crap, or a general waste of air. i can make mundane judgements about how things affect my life here on earth.
i cannot pass judgements for the divine. it's not my place to decide whether or not someone sins by their lifestyle.
and because of that i try my best to treat people equally. gay, straight, black white, redhead, blonde, jew, muslim, i don't care. we are all equal in the eyes of God, and until He decides otherwise, all are equal in my eyes. He may judge, but i cannot.
and i've taught my son the same thing. he doesn't have the authority to pass judgements on man that are reserved for God.
Hold up a minute. Why are you referring to the constitution and God?
What has either to do with OUR discussion?
You say you are not approving of homosexuality...well yes thenagel, you are. And your son will see this.
