LOL CJ MORGAN,

I never thought I'd write these words but here goes:

CJ MORGAN, I endorse your post of Friday, 9 January 2009 9:44:38 AM

You said it better than I could.

All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

Since we're now sharing truths normally reserved for the initiated only, I recommend that all (when finished hailing) read about The Heterosexual Agenda:

However, a word of warning: it's not for the faint-hearted. In fact, it'll scare the bejesus out of you.

Thanks Steven. I know it's a bit of a worry, but this isn't the first time we've agreed on something :)

Blessings of His Noodly Appendages upon you.

jpw2040, thanks for that link. Some of the other material which links off it is very good. The 15 steps link (http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/Articles/000,016.htm) is great and is relevant to the tactics used in a number of issues - the DV debate came to mind.

Likewise the piece on the claim that gays are a threat to children was very good. http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/Articles/000,002.htm

Plenty to think about in there.

To all I'm expect to be away untill late in the week so won't be able to follow up on comments.

I love this one...
The pope's comments were actually quite mild and misreported...but as usual, not particularly logical.
As several posters have pointed out: Gay animals are not just common, they are *very* common. I'm assuming the Pope wasn't told that?
What about trans-sexual individuals with both genitalia (Which are more common then most realise). I *really* want to know what God was planning for them!
(Another nail in Gods coffin. Why would a perfect being create so many shoddy designs that evolution explain perfectly? The trachea: that practically eliminates "design"!)
Recent studies have also hinted at evolutionary reasons for homosexuality. Good on ya Pope for wanting to learn from nature, but you have about 500 years of professional knowledge to catch up on! (Religious leaders are so cute sometimes!)
"Human bodies, having been created by God, are evidence for an authentic sexual morality."
So what was God's message when he created homosexuals and multisexual humans? Perhaps some tolerance for differences? Oh, the irony!
Leigh shows his Christian version of Love...ie. Hatred of Others as usual...Half your congregation are Gay Leigh, they just take it out on the kiddies.
Gibo also shows complete ignorance of Church-Paedophilia connections whilst inventing Gay-Paedophilia connections.
(What about the systematic, world-wide Catholic harboring of paedophile priests!)
I suspect Leigh and Gibo are borderline Gay.
