I agree...that's why I don't like a lot of Christians. That is also why I don't like having public nativity scenes, or for example a giant cross that I drive by a lot. Couldn't it be argued that heterosexuality is being forced upon the people. That only a certain way is right, couldn't that be seen as forced upon us? "Cribs," DON'T FORCE YOUR LIFE OF LUXURY ON ME!
It's a shame that your experience with Christians has been, apparently, negative. I grew up in a Christian church & while there are 1 or 2 'extremeists' in every church, most everyone I grew up with NEVER pushed anything on anyone. They let their lives they led speak for themselves. Now if someone approached them, they would be happy to share. I guess I had a good church - there was (and still is) a lot of caring & love for me & in general for everyone from the people I grew up with.
Seeing natavity scenes & crosses don't bother me at all. As long as they are done tastefully. I don't see a erected cross of natavity scene on a church's lawn (especially @ Christmas) as pushing anything down anyone's throat.
I was being sarcastic, to show that I think that Christians shove their religion down my throat as much as homosexuals do, which is very little. Some Christians to tick me off though..............not because they are Chrstian though. |

What i'm getting is that people just don't like it, even though all evidence points to there being no reason to disliking it. Or at least interfering with it rather than avoiding it. please restore my faith in society and somebody give me a good reason! :x from what i've seen on this forum the majority of the people here are against govt. interference, but there's bound to be somebody here...
You get your "it's not natural" answer for one reason, in reality it is not. 2 men can not have children, nor 2 women, thus in actuality it is not a natural act, now emotional it is a different story, I guess any 2 people of the same sex can love one another, I don't happen to agree with it and I would vote it down if it came to a vote, how ever you have to understand that by definition it is not natural, it is emotional, we are driven by our emotions more these days than in the past, way past that is, when natural instinct was the norm, I don't know man there are always going to be two side to every debate, I happen to be on the side you are not, thats natural.
Well, as I am sure it has been discussed, there is a huge difference between natural & biologically correct. It is natural, because it happen in nature, relatively often. It isn't biologically correct in that children can't come of it. |
