Gay marriage more popular than Jesus

[Valley Oak]

Gay marriage is more popular than Jesus now.

Thanks to Christians around the world, but especially in the U.S., the once anonymous issue of gay marriage has invaded the minds of almost every person on earth, whether they be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Bhuddist, Hindu, atheist, agnostic, etc. Thanks to Christians, by ferociously attacking gay marriage, they have ironically succeeded in making it bigger and stronger than they are.

One of the Christian of groups in the U.S. that most opposes gay marriage is the KKK. I can so understand their position of hatred and intolerance toward gay marriage. If I were as Christian as the KKK is (and not a perverted bisexual) then I would be 'saved' like them.

Edward I love your contribution, but want to point out that the last couple of sentences in second paragraph seem completely unnecessary.
In fact they might serve more to inflame Christians rather than to support the wonderful irony your statement makes.

Baba, I was hoping you would help him improve his English, before you attempt to tackle his fervor.

I drop to my knees and beg the christian community for forgiveness, with tears in my eyes, my body shuddering, and mucus dripping from my nose and mouth, wailing.

Is this a good enough bone for these creatures or do I need to unzip my pants?

Actually, I think he should publish a list with all the wrongdoings brought on by Christians to him personally.
And a list with names of Christians that did this to them.
Unless he wants to condemn ALL Christians, including gay ones, black ones, white ones, female ones, dead ones and presidential ones.

I would never do such a thing. I say what I feel and I always let it be known about my longing and lusting after christian folks.

get busy with all that "longing and lusting". As Barney Google used to say "Balls of fire....time's a wastin' !!!!

[MsTerry]

And why do you lust after Christians?
What makes them so attractive to you?

Beliefs about sexual lust differ among Christians

Most conservative Christians believe that the authors of the Bible were inspired by God to produce writing that was free of errors when interpreted as the author intended. They generally accept the literal meaning of this saying: that a man having feelings of lust towards a woman has already committed adultery. Most extend it to also include persons of all sexes (male, female and intersexual) who have even brief feelings of lust for another person.
Many liberal Christians reject this belief.
Some reason that lust is an emotion that comes from a more primitive part of the brain that is not under a person's conscious control. The triggering of feelings in general are beyond a person's influence. A person's hormones naturally causes them to have feelings of sexual attraction to persons of the opposite sex (if they have a heterosexual orientation) or to the same sex (if they have a homosexual orientation) or to both men and women (if they are bisexual). These feelings only become a sin if they result in inappropriate action, such as sexual behavior that is coercive, manipulative, not consensual, or unsafe. Most probably also include as a sin sexual activity which is outside of a committed relationship.
Some regard many of the sayings attributed to the words of Yeshua as actually having been created by the authors of the Gospels. They reflect the teachings of the early Christian movement more than the beliefs or statements of Yeshua. The Jesus Seminar, for example, rejects Matthew 5:27-28 as not reflecting Jesus original words or beliefs. They commented: "On lust: The injunction against lust occurs commonly in Israelite tradition. ('You must not covert your neighbor's wife' appears as one of the Ten Commandments) and so this admonition did not originate with Jesus."
Some have noted that the original Greek implies not simple lust, but overwhelming feelings of lust extending over a significant interval of time. Thus, they believe that a passing feeling of lust would not be equivalent to adultery.
Most Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists and other secularists probably agree with liberal Christians and reject the validity of this passage.

Methinks not Ms Terry...it seems to me that we are
actually getting an intelligent response to a questionable topic.
Lending dignity and meaning to foolishness as it were.
An admirable effort... one which should be lauded.
Or so it it seems to this doddering old fool
