Another thing... why is it that those of us who are conservative Christians who see these issues as wrong are labeled intolerant, bigoted and ignorant. I dare say that I am as intelligent as anyone posting to this forum. I am an accomplished musician, a father and a hard worker for my family. I am a member of a church where my wife, daughter and I are the ONLY Caucasian people, pastors included.
   
    I see the issue here as rather simple: There were laws, spiritual and otheriwse, banning this sort of garbage for many years in this and other countries. When we started getting lax about guns, they wound up in schoolkids hands. When we got lax about porn, now our regular TV antenna brings us prime-time news about under-dressed whores and their fornications. When we got lax about same-sex relationships, now we have school systems where children are taught the benefits of man-boy love and shown how to use a condom in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! Why is it that there was no such thing as an AIDS epedemic before the drug users and gays started proliferating in this country? Of course, there have been straight people with AIDS, but hey, now we are forced to welcome and legitimize practices that are more likely to expose people to such things!

    I know! Let's all smack ourselves in the skull with hammers! Of course, their will be death and brain damage and suffering, but we DEMAND our right to do something stupid as long as we're happy!

An observer

P.S. To all of you who want me to volunteer with the hammer first, just remember that I am seeing this issue from the outside and much clearer than you are. I do not have any gay relatives or friends, no one in my family is on drugs or stricken with any of those tragic consequences of these liberal and idiotic actions. I am free of all that because I have a rule and a standard that is good for me and for mankind that keeps me safe from all of that trash. I have no secret vendetta here; I am simply trying to call sin and degredation what it is. Get out from under those liberal sinful lies while you still can.
