They’re back. Wyoming’s lesbian poster children. As stated in previous blogs, I’m not going to bow to political correctness and pretend that I think homosexuality is fine. Nothing personal, I also won’t ever condone adultery, sex outside of marriage, etc…
However, I am just linking to the article because I think many of the comments are worth reading. For some reason, the left tends to believe that because Jesus ate and drank with sinners, that he was condoning sin. Of course, this is not the case. Jesus came and died for all, but He never condones sinning. He does just the opposite throughout the New Testament.
A couple comments regarding the article:
hmmmmm wrote on March 24, 2007 8:16 AM:“If you don’t believe in the Catholic Church’s teachings and rules… don’t go. But to sit for days and days, now into weeks, and bash a religion that has been around hundreds of years, just because they do not agree with lessoning their teaching to conform to an immoral society, is disgusting at the least. Just a thought… how can civilization continue… if homosexuality became the norm? How can we continue as a human race if homosexuality takes over? It is not mathmatically sound. And the Catholic Church does not have to accept that. Get over it and find another church. These ladies are being hypocritical in their beliefs. If they pronounce that they are “Catholic”, then they have to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. They want it both ways, and that is not fair to the rest of the Church members. They expect a Church to change to conform to them, thats not the way it works. Unfortunately, media is conforming to accepting homosexuality as a way of life, but thanks to this priest, the Church will not. “
And:

I told my mom that he would surely burn in hell, after all it said in the Bible… My mom didn’t skip a beat. She said, if Jesus could make room at his table for prostitutes, tax collectors and murderers, surely he would make room for my uncle. I have never looked at homosexuality the same. It’s too bad the Catholic Church in all it’s infinite wisdom can’t make room at it’s table. “
Curtis wrote on March 23, 2007 3:53 PM:“Machelle - Although Jesus did invite prostitutes, tax collectors, and other sinners to his table, he did not, in any way, condone the actions that the people were previously engaged in. Jesus did not come to promote or accept sinfulness. How can God come and accept all that is wrong. However, he did forgive the sinners once they repented. If homosexuals repent of acting on homosexual tendencies and being unchaste the Catholic Church will welcome them. However, outwardly proclaiming that you engage in sinful acts and fully intend on continuing to live in sin must result in consequences.”
UPDATE: These ladies are really milking their 15 seconds of fame. H/T Lucianne.

…which is completely silly. If you don’t like the doctrine of your church, find another church. I’m in agreement with you about your dislike (if that makes sense).

Adultery=sexual contact outside of marriage
My beloved and I are faithful to each other and have been for over a decade.
The conversation continues; God is love.
Admit it Sunflower Lady, we fascinate you!!

Hi Bridget,
Yes, in this case homosexuals are requesting for churches to change their doctrine just to benefit them. Because I’m not an atheist, it is no different to me than men and women who commit adultery requesting for the church to accept them as they continue in their fornication.

Nothing wrong with being an equal opportunity offender.
There’s something to be said for understanding homosexual acts as sexual acts outside of marriage - which is sinful, regardless of gender. As an atheist, I may disagree (to a small extent) with this view, but certainly understand it as valid. The problem is that the homosexual rights activists want special treatment (i.e the right to fornicate outside of marriage), not equal treatment. Of course, there’s also the issue of religious v. secular law; the former, IMO, should not be changed to reflect the morality du jour.

Great responses. It is always sad when people distort the Gospel so badly and completely miss the point.
