Capitofacism is what Esanta is referring too. After World War Two they had to find a way to keep the industrial machine going and with the new medium of tv they had their way of making good little consumers of us all. It is a little known fact that psychologists were employed to exploit the medium of tv and radio to make us into perpetual wanters. In some ways it has brought good things, in other ways it has greased the skids of the corporfacist machine and made it all about the profit....most often to the detriment of ethics and doing what is right.
Actually I was talking about before the war. You know, the coupon work-credit scheme were the value of currency was based on the work done? That scheme that brought 6 million unemployed Germans back into work before the banks took offence and boycotted German trade?
They took offence because they had no power. The same way they took offence at Lincoln trying to create a central government bank.

We're reading the Bible. You should try it sometime. In there you would find that Jesus did, in fact, speak against homosexuality.
On numerous occasions, Jesus condemned the sins of adultery (Matthew 19:18), sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9) and fornication (Matthew 15:19). These terms describe any type of sexual intercourse that is not within the confines of a marriage ordained by God. Jesus then proceeded to define exactly what God views as a morally permissible marriage. He stated:
"Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh”? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate" (Matthew 19:4-6).
By defining marriage as between one male and one female, Jesus effectively condemned all other arrangements, including but not limited to one man and two women, one woman and two men, three men and one woman, three men and three women, one man and one man, one woman and one animal, etc. You can see the overwhelming logic of such.
For Jesus to have to explicitly condemn every assortment of genders and numbers would be absurd. When He defined marriage between one man and one woman, He clearly showed that such an arrangement is the only one authorized by God.
Now is the time of repentance, forgiveness, salvation, and sanctification. But there IS coming a time when Jesus is going to judge and condemn everyone who willfully rejected God's holiness to live lives of wanton sexual immorality.
"Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" -Matthew 7:23
My friend Bryan was a hard partying militant atheist who like to mock Christians and play mind games with them. He had a very near death experience in which he died of cholera and found himself before Christ. He said at that moment, before holy God Himself without the covering of Christ's salvation and sanctification: you know exactly how filthy you are. He said you're like a beast that cannot possibly be allowed into heaven for you would corrupt the place in your unregenerate immoral state. He said it was the most terrifying experience of his entire life. He's a Christian evangelist today.

As the late blues legend Albert King once sang, "everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die."

sin hurts
it hurts everyone equally
what is worse than sin?
saying sin is ok to do because some do not believe it is sin.
to deny Christ before men, Christ will deny you before the Father.
to say sin is...ok, live and let live.....is not love, it is not christian and it is luke warm and God will spit you out of His mouth.
Love....its a verb.
Love....disciplines those who are loved.
Love....says sin is sin, helps, and most of all...
reconciles.
Love says homosexuality is a sin, God says it is a sin...
how can I not?

J
Smithbr8.... These questions you ask of me are legitimate. I know it
is difficult to understand Gods Word and the things He calls SIN. But
that does not mean we don't love the one who has sinned.
I have sinned before salvation and would or could be an X-rated book.
I would not put anyone down for not having the knowledge of Gods
Word. I believe we all have sinned as the Word of God said, and fall
short the Glory of God. He has given us the conviction which actually
is His spirit allowing us to be uncomfortable with a sinful lifestyle.
You and I are different in age. But that does not make us different.
I was saved at about age 23. But still sinned not knowing what I was
doing. But, God would not let me get away with being ignorant about
what sins I was committing and it took a little while to finally be delivered.
Then I hungered to know Jesus as my Savior in a more intimate way.
I wanted to love Him because He came to Earth and became human
to grow up and be our Sacrificial Lamb, "SAVIOR". It was His blood
that was shed for my sins, and every human being to be saved once
we repent.
You see God can't look upon sin. He is pure and Holy. He wants us
to share with others His love for them. So you must understand we
aren't perfect, but through Christ we can be His disciples and tell others
about Him
If I knew you, I am sure I would love you. I would like to know you better
so you can know you are loved by the Lord Jesus, and we can be called
Christian because we follow Christ.
God help you understand YOU ARE LOVED. In Christ, I am J~Kay~2
Most far right christians I knew did not like Bush, since he was, at best a moderate.
How does hate mongering leader equate to racism? You have to be black to be a hate mongerer? Blacks are stereotyped as hate mongers?
I don't get the racial component....but then I don't care about race. Maybe that is what has you confused.

It seems the gay community just wants everyone to pat them on the back and tell them:
"you are so special Timmy...you should be so very proud of the courage it took for you to stand up and just be who you are. What a brave person you are and way to go. It doesn't matter what you choose in life as long as you are happy and you get to live your life the way you want to without anyone else stepping on you......you are special....don't let anyone stamp out your most glorious light."
If they hear anything other than that they assume persecution and hatred toward them and then use all the tools at their disposal (many of which they learned from the TV) to point the finger of blame and hatred toward those who they accuse of doing the same. Militant gays, feminists and a whole host of societies "victims" are nothing more than violent emotional thugs who emotionally abuse the general population into silence and even acceptance of their anti-life "lifestyle choices".

With the combination of promotion of their agenda and the influences politics has on a principle, I think the homosexuals are trapped now.
They have become victims.
Look how that turned out for african americans. The only factor in favor of homosexuality was their income was statistically higher than the norm.
I expect that to change with their new classification as persecuted minority.
Sad, they fell for liberalism too. It will destroy them probably faster than homosexuality will
