A plethora of links

To the type of homosexuals that certain commenters here claim shouldn't exist.

Believe it or not, there are homosexuals who are afraid to disagree with Church teaching. They would just as soon agree that their sexual desires are disordered and sinful and try to suppress them as best they can and run off to confession when they can't. That's their choice. They don't have to feel that way but they have probably been brainwashed into believing that what they feel is wrong and to be ashamed.

I'm well aware of Courage (on the right wing) and Dignity (on the left wing), Bill. But I note that in these links are contained athiests who are against gay marriage, feminist lesbians (who most certainly do NOT agree with Catholic teaching) who are against gay marriage, a liberal male homosexual couple from your home state who just want to be DINKs who see no purpose in marriage beyond "the legal stuff", and even one calling himself a "radical queer" who doesn't want civil marriage because of the way heterosexuals have screwed it up.



So no, it isn't just about being afraid to disagree with Church Teaching. It is about homosexuals being *silenced* by the politically correct folks.

"one calling himself a "radical queer" who doesn't want civil marriage because of the way heterosexuals have screwed it up."

When I was getting married, I couldn't care less that other people had screwed marriage up. I don't see the logic in opposing gay marriage because marriage has been screwed up by heterosexuals. Who cares? It is only screwed up for those who screw it up not for the ones happily married.

There are now two generations full of Americans who have absolutely NO experience of "happily married" or even "unhappily married".

As one crabber on Deadliest Catch put it last night "I saw my father go through four divorces, with four different women, and has four children one with each woman. I don't want that for myself".

Huge numbers of my generation have been damaged greatly by divorce to the point of never wanting to be married at all.

I totally understand that. Irrelevant to whether or not gays should be allowed to marry. Don't penalize them for the mistakes made by heterosexuals.

Eliminating civil marriage isn't a penalty. It is ending a farce that never was good for anybody.

There is no conceivable reason, outside of creating stable families for the purpose of procreation, that the state belongs in anybody's bedroom at all.

Sacramental marriage is already about procreation, or should be. Miracles do happen, I suppose, but I don't see why a couple that loves each other can't just live together regardless of what the Church says.

Well, I agree that they could. But why should they have to? Why can't people who love each other just get married, church or no church, hetero or homo?

Because that's not what marriage is.

It's really not your call. The definition of marriage as only being between a man and a woman is going to be struck down by the courts for every state as couples sue to marry there. Prop 8 is not any different than laws in other states that have the same definition. They all infringe on the rights of gays and are therefore unconstitutional.

Your attitude toward gays is even worse than that of the Catholic Church, which is pretty bad in itself.

"My attitude towards gays has been formed by their attitude towards me."

I can't blame them.

Father claims 15 year old girl is capable of consent in Lesbian Rape Case

Father claims 15 year old girl from another family is capable of consent : I'm beginning to really like the change in Florida's government.  First they stop handing out welfare checks to junkies.  Now they are treating Lesbians under the same rules as Heterosexuals, gasp, what a concept!  Don't sign this petition unless you are FOR statutory rape of younger girls by predatory lesbians. How many 18 year old boys have been prosecuted for having sex with 16 year old women under "minors can't give consent"?    Special treatment for lesbians?  Please, no.

Fundamentalist Atheism

Strange Notions is a new Disqus site run by Brandon Vogt to try to discuss Rationality and Reason with Athiests. He may well succeed with some, but there is one subset of atheism he will never succeed with. On Richard Dawkin's spectrum of theistic probability , those with a score 6 and above often fall into something I term fundamentalist atheism. Many of them come from fundamentalist Christian backgrounds, if not in their generation, then within three generations of their recent past. Fundamentalist Atheism starts with the assumption that the supernatural doesn't exist and that the natural world is all there is, and runs with it, denying any data to the contrary. I've always been one to consider the natural to be a subset of the supernatural- that is the only real difference between the natural and the supernatural to me is the line of the shared scientific knowledge of mankind. A scientist, therefore, if he is to learn anything new about the universe, needs to have h...

Call them what you like, Broken Families are still a TRAGEDY!

Yes, liberals value family , but not enough to recognize that a broken family is a tragedy. Divorce is actually worse than death as far as the grieving process goes- especially when there are children, custody battles, parental support, and alimony involved. And homosexuals raising children? That is tragic, not something to be celebrated. Maybe if we'd *recognize* that a broken family is a tragedy we would be more willing to say, pay taxes for WIC so that the single mother working a minimum wage job actually has the ability to choose life. Maybe we'd have more men willing to stick around and help raise the children they cause because the condom broke while they were stupidly using sex only for recreation. Maybe, just maybe, we'd be raising men instead of a generation of cowardly wimps who choose homosexuality and suicide over real life. Suffering and tragedy is valuable- but only if we recognize that it exists.
