'"Evangelical pastor Ted Haggard ranted against the evils of premarital sex, adultery, and gay marriage. That is, until he was caught in a gay sex scandal in 2006. A male escort named Mike Jones publicly claimed that Haggard had been a client for years. Not only that, Haggard had allegedly used crystal meth in front of his male lover."'

Yep Steelie just shows he is in need of repentance and mercy just like you and me.

Dragging children into their unnatural lives is unforgivable.
ttbn,

Hence "The lull before the storm" ?

Dear Ttbn and Individual,

«Dragging children into their unnatural lives is unforgivable.»

Do you realise the full scope and implications of your statement? a bombshell indeed!

Life in modern society is so much divorced from nature - modern food is heavily processed and unseasonal and the natural rhythms of day and night and the seasons are ignored in favour of a 24/7/365 urban and virtual existence: in nature, one sleeps when it is dark and wakes up with the light of dawn. The modern family unit and the extended family are hardly functioning as such - parents have transformed into just chauffeurs and ATMs, whereas in nature children rarely stray physically away from their parents and have their freshly-cooked/prepared meals together. It is natural for adrenalin to be pumped in for a short while when a predator is present, but not for an ongoing adrenalin-producing stress over intangible and highly complex mental concerns. Specialisation and the large-scale interdependence that it brings is also highly unnatural.

So much more can be said about our current unnatural lifestyle, so why be picky in particular about the parents' sexual orientation? If anything, a certain small percentage of homosexuality can be found in nature and has scientific/evolutionary explanations. Compared with all the wilful aberrations of modern society and its nature-distorting technologies, this is such an insignificant speck.

The cost of political correctness is becoming clear.

The pasting of the once mighty Australian rugby team by the minnows Wales can be squarely laid of the feet of Hardcastle's incompetence.

If FWA decides that Folau's dismissal was unfair, Rugby Australia might well be up for a bill in the $millions.

If anything, a certain small percentage of homosexuality can be found in nature and has scientific/evolutionary explanations.
Yuyutsu,
Yes & so are murder, thieving, assault, adultery, Pedophilia, greed etc. How many murderes/killers have claimed Love for their actions ?
Homosexuality has been around forever as have the afore-mentioned but does that make it a good practice ? Many argue it does but when a thief argues thieving is ok then there'd be an outcry. How long has AIDS been around ? Can it be caused by something other than unclean sex by humans ? Just look at the social/societal/financial/medical cost this has cost over years.
Do you find that acceptable ? Or, is simply acceptable to you because it hasn't financially impacted you personally !

I left out the word yet at the end of the post.
