Homosexuality is unnatural, if it were natural then gay people could reproduce. If children are involved then it effects them as well. Gay people should not be bashed or beaten, but they should not be given the same rights as heterosexual couples as far as marriage and adoption.

1. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?2. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination – Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?3. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle- room here?4. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?5. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?6. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

It seems the bishop is picking and choosing from the bible what people should believe or not believe.

Dallas is fortnate to have ‘The Voice’ news, but with relegion, politics, and general interest stories over the last couple of year’s I’ve noticed you tend to slant a story in very irresponsible ways which is not good journalism. Perhaps it’s time you step down, or offer readers unbiased presentation.

A campaign launched by several progressive organizations has led eight major corporations to withdraw from the American Legislative Exchange Council, known as ALEC, where state legislators and business representatives meet to draft model legislation.

ALEC has been accused by progressive organizations of working “to disenfranchise African Americans, Latinos, students, the elderly, the disabled, and the poor.”

This man and all the others, T.D, Sharpton, Dollar and Bynum etc.. They are teaching false doctoring. They are going to hell and all those that are following them. Read the bible for your self. Romans 16:16

Anywhere. There are some individuals who would disagree, but they are generally (a) less educated and (b) mentally challenged, which leaves them in no position to argue or debate the issue.

If thats what youy need babe, thats what you need but don’t attempt to hide behind your little fantasy to justify your hatred and bigotry. Try and at least be honest.
