//Funny thing is that I have yet to find anyone that will admit openly that they practice anal sex//

Don't give up hope Banjo... I'm sure you'll find your handsome prince one day.

Toni,

That was a bit below the belt!!

Is Miss,

Are you saying that churches should be discriminated against for abiding by their doctrine? They should have no right to refuse to marry same sex people? Can you give an example where homosexuals have been 'excommunicated' simple for being homosexual? If homosexuals "disagree with some of that church's teachings, why would they want to have anything to do with that church? There are civil celebrants. There are churches like the Uniting Church who are just glorified social workers who will marry them. Half of the ministers are homo or lesbians themselves. These people have moved so far away from Chistianity that they are no different from atheists. Christian dogma is against same sex activities. The churches that don't hold to that are no different from non-christians. They are wasting their time trying to keep up the pretence.

Good on ya, Banjo. Bugger the sneerers and the perverts. There will be consequences for their actions - ones that we don't have to worry about.

Is Mise,
Don't be concerned about Toni.

She has always been mentally below par.

ttbn,

It doesn’t sound to me like you know what an atheist is, even though you used to be one.

<<These people have moved so far away from Chistianity that they are no different from atheists.>>

So long as they believe in a god, then they are different from atheists, as this is the only question atheism addresses.

<<Christian dogma is against same sex activities. The churches that don't hold to that are no different from non-christians.>>

According to that logic, denominations that allow women to speak in church are no different from non-Christians, too.

One could have all sorts of fun with your statement by swapping out, “is against same sex activities”, with any one of the many things Christianity now allows that it once forbade.

Banjo,

You seem to have missed Is Mise's little joke there. He was being literal.
