as I expected the usual bigotry towards those that don't support the 'gay ' agenda. I noticed my question wasn't answered. Moral relativism dogma justifies anything. Just add a litle pseudo science and ignotre nature and conscience.

A good review, thanks. I find it interesting that while Christians are prepared to accept modifications to their beliefs proposed by scientific study, such as the earth is not the centre of the universe, that evolution is more likely than creationism, they don't accept scientific studies that pretty well prove that homosexuality is decided in the womb, and therefore no one has any say in the matter. When asked, most Christians would denounce punishment being inflicted on people for the way they were born, yet don't hesitate to heap coals on gays. Makes about as much sense as believing in an invisible superman in the sky.

Yes, but, Jay Of Melbourne...

>>Small point Chris, the IRA are Communists, have been since the 1960's<<

Leaving aside the trivial point that the movement was manipulated by Communists, rather than being Communist itself, all that came to a shuddering halt in 1972 with the ceasefire.

At which point the Catholics took over again, forming the Provisional IRA, and went on to become the kneecapping, parcel-bombing pranksters - all in the name of the Catholic Church - that we all knew and loved.

"The Catholic IRA is known for their use of car, pipe, and mail bombs, assassinations, kidnappings, beatings, extortion, smuggling, and robberies, most of which have been conducted in Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Great Britain. Although its primary targets have been the British military and police in Northern Ireland, the IRA has also carried out operations against Protestant civilians and British government officials."

Interesting source material too - I recommend a browse through it, just to remind ourselves of the implacable hatred that different religions are able to generate for each other, regardless of whether they worship the same god, or not.

Or indeed, completely independent of the stated wishes of that God - in this case, "love thy neighbour".

So true Pericles.
My husband grew up as a Catholic in Southern Ireland, and I as a Catholic in Australia.

When we traveled to Ireland in 1987 to meet his family, I was asked on a daily basis at least, was I Catholic. Because I had an Australian accent, many people assumed I was English, and therefore Protestant.

The change in their attitude when I told them I was a Catholic was amazing.

These extremely religious people went to church and worshiped their God almost daily, yet they relished stories of Protestants being killed in Northern Ireland!

I was horrified by this attitude, but was warned by my new Irish family to keep my mouth shut when talking to other people!

If ever I had a faith in a Christian God, and a Christian way of life, I certainly lost it while I was in Ireland...

>>Does the 'law of love ' extend to paedophiles or polygamist or those practicing bestiality?<<

Well according to every Christian denomination familiar with, all people are welcome within Christianity regardless of their sins. After all, is it not their contention that Jesus died on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven - and that the first man into heaven was a thief who was crucified next to Jesus?

Does that answer your question satisfactorily, runner? Just out of interest, what denomination are you?

Cheers,

Tony

Tony Lavis,

The thief you mentioned acknowledged his own sin deserving of death. He called upon God's mercy and received it. Those involved in immorality, lying, homosexuality and other sin will also receive mercy when acknowledging their sin and calling on Christ's mercy. Those who deny their sin will not receive mercy. The homosexual lobby want to pretend homosexuality is not a sin. I know women who have left marriages years after having children and now claim they were born lesbian. How deceived can one be. I am sure some self interested scientist will invent some theory for this obvious chosen behavior. Their are also many Christians who once practiced homosexulaity but have come out of it.

The denomination where I choose to worship is irrevelant. I am comfortable worshipping with any bible beleiving Christians across a range of denominations or non denomination. It is only man who has placed barriers not God.
