And Paul, the Sutherland president, is correct in saying that we have very different interpretations of reality in a lot of ways. <BR/><BR/>I think that Paul Evensen really hits the hammer on the nail in his "Understanding Homophobia" article:<BR/><BR/>http://scpronet.com/point/9606/p05.html<BR/><BR/>Where he states, "Make no mistake, many people believe that fire could literally rain from heaven and destroy us for allowing gays in our midst. Even more people believe they will be held accountable when they get to heaven for not actively opposing gays. So the more deep-seated fear is of a punitive God who will bring retribution if the "gay scourge" is not removed from the land."<BR/><BR/>It's bewildering madness!VeganBattleBothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11789518319932340646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520981994457815123.post-32821359741936453662009-02-20T15:01:00.000-08:002009-02-20T15:01:00.000-08:00I can't even read this bullshit, not you, but everything about what's happened this week angers me. I want to move away from this state and soon! Boyd originally made this comment and I am stealing it, I wish there was a hell just so these people would end up there. Or even better, that there really was a Jesus so when they died and he showed up he could say, you know you really did get it all wrong.Kegghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17448509060938626323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520981994457815123.post-29176964899866653362009-02-20T12:47:00.000-08:002009-02-20T12:47:00.000-08:00Kammorremae: It won't be. They just misrepresent "statistics" and use words like "sense" and "science" and "rational" as propaganda sound bytes. Iz all just outdated rhetoric that's being blazed over by diversity n' progress.VeganBattleBothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11789518319932340646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520981994457815123.post-16638794398628547622009-02-20T12:35:00.000-08:002009-02-20T12:35:00.000-08:00Hate is rarely rational.

"The intellectual, legal and moral chasm between the two sides is so great that true common ground is nearly impossible to achieve."<BR/>What a mother fucker.
