		<description>LSHS, I have been following you throughout, and I cannot keep silent anymore.  There are many things I could say, but I feel this is most important.  This railing you speak of, this insistent political action which you say is so necessary is inconsistent with the teachings and actions of Jesus.  One author that has been particularly informative for me is Gregory A. Boyd, who&#039;s book &quot;The Myth of a Christian Nation&quot; directly addresses the issues of Christians using political power.  We can debate that further if you like, but that is all I will say now.

You also seem to have an immense burden for those you see as sinners.  However, even you seem aware that your method is not the most effective, and it certainly isn&#039;t Jesus&#039; method.  Smacking people around with scripture isn&#039;t even effective when addressing fellow Christians.  Those who do not agree with the Bible at all (i.e. non-Christians) cannot be reasoned with using only Scripture passages.  They cannot see past the lies and the violence they have encountered from poor examples.  If you really want to change the hearts and minds of, particularly, homosexuals, then implore you to get to know gay persons, become friends, form a community; then when you are like family, you can begin to work God&#039;s mission in their lives.  This is Jesus&#039; method.  He ate with everybody (a big deal in his culture... like welcoming them into your family), both &#039;sinners&#039; and members of the religious establishment, as well as everybody in between.  And then, when he had welcomed them, did they begin to follow him.  I promise you that this method will make you feel much better, and you will really see God work change.</description>

		<description>Thank you for pointing out that not all Catholics are NOT in lock-step with the leadership. Some of us have serious issues  with the Church, Pedo-priests, and the snobbish attitudes of many Catholics.</description>

		<description>The Salem Witch Trials were a mistake mad out of stupidity, you got us. But I know the Crusades, and Inquisitions were Catholic. Most people who call themselves plain Christians are likely Protestant Christians (or closely related). Hitler may have been Roman Catholic but he obviously turned as pointed out in this quote:

Hitler once stated, &quot;We do not want any other god than Germany itself. It is essential to have fanatical faith and hope and love in and for Germany.&quot;</description>

		<description>How about that being gay is not a choice, so they cover up the feelings they have no control over because their religion says that they won&#039;t get into magical happy land by being themselves?

If gay people want to get married and be miserable like the rest of us, they should go for it.</description>

		<description>It was meant as sarcasm. And if you didn&#039;t catch that, you&#039;re probably retarded.

What it implies is that the Conservative Christians who bash gays are probably &quot;closet-cases&quot;, lashing out at people who have come out of the closet.</description>

		<description>Oh. My. Non-existent. God.

Stop quoting the (non-existent)GODDAMN BIBLE, that book made of potentially soft toilet paper has more fiction in it than my favorite Harry Potter book.

Really -- stop it. Nobody except the christians here with the same views as you here will give a sheyat on what you quote.</description>

		<description>Hate to be picky (not really), but &quot;one nation under god&quot; is in the Pledge of Allegiance, not in the national anthem.  I agree with what you said, I just wanted to post something antagonistic.</description>

		<description>Hmmm, so trying to keep abortion legal is controlling someone else&#039;s body? That&#039;s funny, I thought that you stupid &#039;pro-lifers&#039; were the oned in charge of that. I&#039;d rather have Obama in office than some idiot soccer mom from Alaska who would have started the second Inquisition. Religious freedom died when they put ...&#039; in one nation under god&#039; in the national anthem. So while you&#039;re deciding who should be able to say hateful things about someone for who they are, tell me a Holocaust joke.</description>

		<description>Have any references to back up your assertion?  I assume by &quot;christian homophobes&quot; you mean Christians who believe that homosexual intercourse is a sin, and that it should remain illegal for members of the same sex to get married.</description>

		<description>And I would like to apologize for being so rash, I don&#039;t want to turn people away from Christianity, otherwise that would defeat the purpose of ever commenting.

Speaking of, it would seem as if most of the replies people made to my comments were deleted. Now it looks like I&#039;m debating with my self. I look like such a weirdo... &gt;.&gt;</description>

		<description>&quot;My neighbor&quot; doesn&#039;t include evolution...

And whose to say evolution is fact?

When will you ever find the missing link?

When will you ever be able to predict the next evolutionary creature (what we&#039;re going to evolve into)?

When will you be able to see that for every &quot;supporting fact&quot; for evolution and atheism, there&#039;s at least one Bible verse shooting it down?

That&#039;s why I believe these are more than opinions, they fit together too well and make too much sense.

That, and I don&#039;t quite understand how they could be called opinion in the first place.

My thesis is this: Evolution is a lie, the Bible really did happen, and God wants you to come back and repent. He loves you, but hates the circumstances you refuse to break from. And I am trying to be like Him, hence the screen-name. He loves you like a Father, but hates your sin. Love-the-Sinner-hate-the-sin.</description>

		<description>Christian Conservatives are essentially Christians who hold Conservative political views. If a Christian lived in a Communist country, they wouldn&#039;t necessarily be called Conservative.</description>

		<description>What don&#039;t you people understand about the concept of &quot;hypocrites&quot;?

All of those that you listed are those who are being hypocritical, reading the Bible and interpreting it as they so desire, and seem to forget Exodus 20 &quot;Thou shall not murder&quot;.

Though I&#039;m not quite sure I understand how you made the Holocaust connection. O.o</description>

		<description>1) If it&#039;s not propaganda, then what is it?
2) A joke doesn&#039;t have to be funny, it just has to have meaning beyond what is obvious. Ergo, unless this was meant sarcastically, it is not a joke.
3) EPIC FAILURE.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s my point.  If you are arguing with someone, unless you&#039;re just arguing for the sake of arguing, it will be about something you disagree on.  If your arguments only stand up if your entire side of the argument is right, then you will simply keep going around in circles, and never get anywhere.  That sort of thing is what is actually meant by the phrase, &quot;begging the question,&quot;  and it pretty much dooms any debate to failure.

I mean, say you got into an argument with someone about whether or not the Bible is true, and the other person believes that every word of it is false.  If your only evidence comes from the Bible itself, then it will *never* convince them, because they don&#039;t believe that that evidence is valid.  If you want to get anywhere with them, you have to be able to produce some evidence that they agree is valid, like historical records.  The same goes for any argument where one person believes in the Bible and the other doesn&#039;t; no matter how true it is, you will never make any headway arguing with someone who doesn&#039;t believe in the Bible if you rely exclusively on Biblical evidence.  True or not, they won&#039;t believe it, and you will never convince them unless you come up with an argument they actually agree is true.</description>

		<description>Immoral, unnatural lifestyle? Sorry dear, but those are the opposite of the facts. Hundreds of animal species have homosexuals. And if homo sapiens were the only ones who had them, it still wouldn&#039;t be unnatural - because a species has it....so it&#039;s natural. That is just one of the clearest things ever.

And the fact that say it&#039;s immoral makes you a vexacious worm and anything else you say irrelevant.

And I doubt it&#039;s a minority - there&#039;s only three outcomes, straight, gay or bi (or lack of any orientation in some cases). People are just afraid to say who they are because of neanderthals like you.</description>

		<description>That is based on relativism - &quot;It&#039;s true for you but not for me.&quot;  The fact is, these are fundamental beliefs, and if you only argued with people who believed them there wouldn&#039;t be any convincing to do, would there?</description>

		<description>I used to argue with ignorant Obama clingers-on like the graph creator.  Now I don&#039;t even bother.

Aw, heck, I will.  This isn&#039;t &quot;GAY RIGHTS&quot; this is COMMUNISM!  Look at Communist Russia.  Then and there they controlled exactly what everyone said - and if you tried to speak for yourself you went to jail.

Now, Obama wants to make it illeagal to say anything agains homosexuals.  Can you see it, yup I see it, the end of religious freedom and freedom of speech.  The Obamination wants to control your mouth, your mind, your body.  That&#039;s all this is - control and the victory of an immoral, unnatural lifestyle.

P.S. Homosexuality is an extremely small minority yet they account form the vast majority of this country&#039;s STDs.</description>

		<description>As a Christian, I agree with you.  I, personally, believe in the Bible (although I do think that there are parts that are meant to be taken metaphorically, like Genesis.)  However, I realize that some people don&#039;t believe in the Bible AT ALL, and if I try to make an argument with those people based on what&#039;s in the Bible, I&#039;m going to make a fool of myself.  It especially bothers me to see Christians assert that the Bible is true because it says it is, because that argument doesn&#039;t hold any water unless you *already* believe that it&#039;s true.  If you want to have anyone take your arguments seriously, you have to have some hard evidence, and not something that the person you&#039;re arguing with might not believe at all.</description>

SO TRUE. 
I don&#039;t know what&#039;s funnier, the graph itself or all the christians trying to use christianity to defend christianity. That&#039;s like saying, &quot;cake is delicious because it&#039;s cake,&quot; or &quot;Republicans are right because they are republicans.&quot; See the retardedness?
Hey christians. Want to earn the respect of atheists? Try using LOGIC and REASON in an argument rather than saying &quot;it&#039;s bad cause the bible said so.&quot; Every time you reference the bible, just know, you&#039;re not convincing anyone.</description>

		<description>Nobody, as far as I know, has specifically stated the singularity from which the Universe evolved following the big bang was &#039;a tiny speck of dust&#039;. They say it was a singularity, in other words a &#039;one of a kind&#039; thing which we cant decribe now because no such thing exists in our Universe as far as we know. It excites the minds of scientists to try to imagine what it was but we can never really be sure.

		<description>@ &quot;AngryCat&quot;
The word propaganda does not immediately imply untruth. Most christian homophobes are indeed closet homosexuals.
And you only don&#039;t think it&#039;s funny because you probably are one.</description>

		<description>Yes it is &quot;just&quot; a theory, but in scientific terms the word &quot;theory&quot; doesn&#039;t mean exactly what it does in layman&#039;s terms.  For something to be referred to as a theory, there has to be a lot of evidence supporting it, or else it&#039;s just a hypothesis (which is more the sort of thing most people assume the word &quot;theory&quot; means.)  A theory hasn&#039;t been definitively proven (or else it would be referred to as a law), but it has stood up to a lot of testing, and it has made testable predictions that have held true.  The idea that germs cause disease is technically a &quot;theory&quot;, as are a *lot* of things in physics that, despite being technically unproven, we still use to make things like TVs and computers work.  I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s a definite fact, and you&#039;re welcome to believe otherwise if you so choose, it just irritates me to see it scorned as &quot;just a theory&quot; when a scientific theory is actually extremely close to a sure thing.

Also I&#039;m really not sure what racism or &quot;those people&quot; have to do with the Big Bang theory (or maybe it had to do with high school science class?)  Anyway, I couldn&#039;t make sense of that part, so it would be nice if you could clarify that a bit.</description>

		<description>I got about halfway through reading all of these comments and just to start off with I loved the graph made me giggle, but what I truly laughed at was that someone actually said our universe was created from a tiny spec of dust, for a fact.  You know what that is called?  The Big Bang THEORY.  That is all it is at this point in time unless you can cite your source im sticking with my junior year of high school science class on this one.  Call it what you want stereotyping or racism all you want its never going to go away there will always be those people alive the best thing to do in YOUR life to truly help the cause is just ignore it and don&#039;t be racist yourself for that will truly be more helpful than shouting in someones face for doing it.</description>

		<description>I got about halfway through reading this before I discovered one persons STUPID statement that is just COMPLETELY wrong.  Not ONE scientist on this f***ing planet will tell you that for a fact the univerese was created from a spec of super condensed dust.  They will acknowledge that THEORY</description>

		<description>They are sinning, by disobeying. The not only disobey God, but also the laws of nature that He put into place. The aren&#039;t &quot;loving&quot; as much as they are &quot;lusting&quot;. And even worse, lusting after their own sex. People go to Hell for lusting, not loving.

Even still, if they were straight, but not Christian, they would go to Hell. 

And just because you say it isn&#039;t a sin, am I to believe you?</description>

		<description>It isn&#039;t a sin. They aren&#039;t horrible people for doing what a book says they shouldn&#039;t their actions are far from wrong. I have gay relatives, and they are raising a beautiful, sweet, loved little boy. How can people like that be sinners? People don&#039;t go to hell for loving.</description>
