I caused a brouhaha today

[Demeter]

I sometimes visit a web forum for adoption, and today I read a post by a woman who saw an Oprah show about adoption, and she thought it was so great, until it was "marred by the dark intrusion" of a story about a gay couple who were foster parents.
Well, there's nothing that gets my knickers in a knot like prejudice , and by the way, the board is predominantly hard-core Christians (!) so I found it particularly repugnant coming from someone who claims to "love baby Jesus."
So I sent my own little message, saying that Jesus would be appalled by such bigotry etc, etc...and now the right wing Christians are duking it out with the Christians who accept gays! There seem to be an equal number on each side. I am relieved that not all the Christians on the site are stuck in the Old Testament, but I worry about the ones that are, and what they will be teaching their kids. To suggest that a loving gay couple is not fit to care for a foster child is disgusting. Boy, I guess I am still angry. Believe me, I have nothing against Christians per se (I was raised Catholic, and was even baptised as a Baptist when I first got sober, before eventually i found Buddhism, which seems to be a better fit for me.) But I can't help it, that holier than thou attitude makes me ill. I have many, many gay friends who would never dream of judging someone by their race, sex, religion or sexual orientation! And yet some people who claim to be so pure and Christ-like are anything but. It's really depressing.
Oh well, tomorrow I am getting some of the sacred herb - and I shall smoke it until I feel peaceful and forgiving again..:jointsmile:

It's pretty easy to get their panties in a bunch, ain't it? LMAO! I got kicked off a Christian web site, and I claim to be one nowdays. Intolerance is their mantra, man. The fundies will never change....

I have found that the gay hating christians are recently beggining to fall into the minority. But in the south they have a higher concentration, but Ican't stand those kinds of people, they need to learn to mind their own damn buisness, what we do causes no harm to them so they have no right to complain.
I admit on one cases I parcially agree with them,thats the gay pride parades, in my opinion it's just an excuse for a bunch of people to show off their fetish gear in public. I know that it's only part of the thses people that attend them that do this, but it's what the public focuses on. ANd also, alot of it's realy discusting. In my opinion the gay pride shit is hurting the gay community's image with the rest of the world

Someone being gay doesn't affect my daily life, and I am sure they could be just as suitable as parents. I see nothing wrong with this all. Some people are just ridiculous.

[napolitana869]

gay parents are just as good (if not better) at raising children.

Also they condemn cannabis and demonize it. Are they forgetting God, the one they belive in so highly, created it, and it's even mentioned in the bible multiple times. Do the just choose what they read and belive?

About the gay couple's adopting children, i'm not exactly against it, but imagine the FUCKED UP life the child would have!?
Children aren't accepting of differences......

kids don't need any excuse to bully and it's amazing what they'll consider normal or abnormal.
considering the number of truly lousy hetero parents i've come across, i can't imagine that a couple's sexual orientation would make them any better or worse. just the fact that the child had two loving parents would be a big plus, in my humble opinion.

I support the care of a child period...

First Jesus was not prejudice against queers.
He hung out with 12 men 24/7.
john as his most beloved of all of them.
its in the bible.
Oh well everyone needs something to cling to. mark twain said " if you profess to be an Athiest on your death bed, then i Profess you to be a liar."
My grandma used to say get high on jesus.
Ya granny i bet your bong is shaped like the lord and you and your christian dicksuckers like to lick the stem.
