I agree with most of that Joe.....I have always found you fair and although I am presently an atheist, I respect the personal views of Christians. Once again I am surprised that more of the membership do not protest the ridicule that you and other Christians here have been subjected to. I and most of the membership should be aware of the years of hard work you personally have put into this forum; and to be abused by people who are simply not fit to lick your boots is a disgrace.

On to homosexuality, I don't care a leaf about what any sexual minority get up to, other than the horrific health figures which pertain to that particular group. Failing to discuss, or suppression of the issue means that the annual rise in new infections will continue unabated.

Until someone can come up with a reason for these abysmal health figures, I will continue to oppose homosexual "marriage" on the grounds that the behaviour is dangerous and unhealthy.

Several here have commented that anyone who opposes homosexual "marriage" holds views that are abhorrent, medieval, hate filled....I do not see my views as such, in fact for a large part of my life homosexuality was criminalised, a law which I opposed strongly, yet these people do not see their attitude to Christians on this forum as anyway abhorrent or hate filled, but unlike me, they have no facts to back up their views, other than the fact That the Christian church also opposes homosexual "marriage"

The issue for them is ideological   "liberalism" good, "social conservatism" bad. The irony is, that these people are in reality the very antithesis of liberal.....they are the foetus from which Fascism grows.
