Never said I disliked Contreras because he was "gay"...in fact I never said I disliked him at all....you are entitled to your opinion, that people can "do" whatever the hell they want"...as I can believe the way "I" WANT"...People have sex with blow up dolls, deal drugs/use drugs, even make it with "farm animals", and do a whole host of other socially deviant and "and less than wonderful things" in the community...as a Catholic/Christian, I follow the Church's teaching that it is immoral and an abomination to practice homosexuality...Scripture states in (Jude1:7 "Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication,and going after "strange" flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire"). Seems pretty clear to me Bison...you can rethink and re craft it any way you want, to conform to your own value system...it doesn't change or alter scriptures explicit meaning. Any dislike for Alan is because he has ruined peoples lives and livelihoods, all under the flag of a state that passed an "unconstitutional law"...you and I only part ways, that as a conservative, who believes in the words of sacred scripture, I personally feel this lifestyle is gravely sinful and disordered, you are o.k. with it, so be it. God "destroyed" the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, because "NOT" one was good...."ALL" were steeped in sexual depravity...and our Lord destroyed the cities in sulfur and brimstone".... not because two messenger's were about to be raped...talk about revisionist history...geesh!...rotflol!...don't think so bison...
one more thing bison...I personally believe that "great virtue" comes to a person who resists the temptation, to act out in a homosexual manner...virtue comes in the struggle...I believe "gays" are all God's children, and He loves them also, but certainly does not approve of this lifestyle...God does not approve of heterosexuals who are "acting out", who are not married, this is also sinful, the sin of "fornication"...homosexuality is defined as an abomination though...when a man falls with a woman in carnal lust, at least the "act" follows the natural "order" of sexual transmission, between humans... as this act is the conduit for procreation...
