He is sueing because the bible has references to homosexuals that he disagrees with. Political correctness gone wrong in my opinion.

The amount of bullshit you have to shovel here is amusing.

Republican...*IS*...the problem. People have used the Christian Bible to shield themselves from harm and penalty, while spreading fear, hatred, and destruction. Or are you going to tell me that Mathew Shepard was killed because of 'a misunderstanding of motor vehicle operation'?

If I wanted to, I could make an argument that the whole of the Internet is sinful. That using it is sinful. Because the Bible says so. That's right, a 'book' created two thousand years ago can fully explain a technological concept of today. Because its so well known that Jesus had access to goggle before 1. A.D.

Christianity speaks against greed, yet, that's the underpinning of Capitalism. It speaks against 'Acts of God', yet we have nuclear weapons. It speaks against treating other people like shit; yet how many christians would trade the whole of humanity away, if they thought it gets them into Heaven?

If we didnt have Christianity, would we be on the same level if not ahead other nations on Stem Cell Research? Because I recall christian groups holding the belief that a stem cell could create a whole human being (which it cant). That without Christianity, would be get the Theory of Evolution confused with the Theory of Abiogenesis, as it relates to Creationism? Since nothing in Evolution really has commonality with Creationism. An without idiot Christians, we would be advancing on many medical treatments and research.

Or tell me that ISIS is just 'misunderstood' group of 'hill-billy' like individuals whom just want to be left alone?

People use religion, to manipulate ignorant people into action. "Do as I say, not what I do" is the behavior of these unethical individuals. Why is there huge opposition to gay marriage by conservative christians, but not just as much to divorces? Or for support of single parents? Or for families living in poverty?

Jeez, M3 - seriously, is it that bad? If the matter of kids is brought up here, we'll have some fruitcakes turning up to report us all as a bunch of paedos - on account of 'we're kinksters, so paedophilia isn't a worry for us' - or some such insane drivel?

I understand that we all have to have a concern here for the deranged looney American righties (sorry, but it really is only American righties of a certain hue) who think that any kinkster is just a tiny step away from being a paedo or at least a paedo-supporter. It really does grate on me. I can't stand those cretins, with their nasty brainless prejudices, having any control on what and how we think and discuss things here.
