While I do not condon violence against homosexuals, you cant be suprised when this sort of thing happens after you twist religion into something that it isnt supposed to be and people see it for what it is. In places like this, you are bound to have serious and explosive results.

This is what happens with condemnation and self-righteousness take over from the love of God and the charity, humility and self-judgment that are the advertised focus of Christianity. Once again, words mean nothing, actions everything. My heart goes out to his family and the brave members of CAN who fight not only bigots but institutionalized evil.

I fully understand now, why you cant get anything out of the Bible. You cant even read a few sentences in here and comprehend what the person writes. In school, dont they call that Special Education?

There is no such thing as God, and your Christian Religion is being destroyed. Faith in a God is what is being destroyed day by day, and it works. There is no such thing as God and with truth being told all over the Net and World soon, there will be no belief in God.

People are not dumb. People sometimes just need a little truth provided for them to see reality, and ff that inflames some, that is too bad.

Ya better work

You and your liberal queers are going to hell anyways UNLESS you repent. I don't condone violence against gays. They bring it on themselves though if they openly flaunt it in front of people that WILL kill them.

You don't condone violence against gay people but you don't seem to oppose it either as you offer a justification for it. I guess with your rationale we can start inflicting violence on heteros who are flaunting their sexuality in front of us, after all you have it coming don't you?

Your threat doesn't scare me. I have security forces that care for me, love me, and know that I am most beautiful of them all. I just looked over at the mirror today and she confirmed it for me.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful guy of them all, and she, like always, said it was ME!

I kiss and hold hands with my mate in public. Is that flaunting it? If so, people best leave us alone when we are in public because we have security with us at all times.

If I see two breeders kissing or holding hands are they not flaunting heterosexuality in front of me? I have the same right to show that I am gay and proud.

Most of the time, people don't even say anything to my mate and I, or me or whatever the grammar is. If he is King then it is I. Anyway, most people don't say anything HOWEVER, one day last year some guys in a crowd of four about 20 years old or maybe 21 or so yelled faggots when we passed by, and we were not even holding hands at the time or flaunting. I could hear the laughter as we kept walking because those guys thought they would get away with it until my mate so OH NO, because he knows me so well, and like the color Purple ie movie, I walked back quickly and asked them if they were talking about us and I was then ready to fight IN SELF DEFENSE IF NEEDED with all four of them, and they cowardly told me no! DAMN LIARS! LMAO "NO, WE WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT YOU" did you use the word faggot? "NO, NOT US" LMAO

I always say, don’t F with the baby sitter.

The bible clearly supports slavery. Your god tells his followers to take slaves many times, and Jesus carries on the tradition.

I read the story, and I thought it was extremely biased, with vitriol throughout.

I also don't believe that Kerdy, in his first post, was being homophobic, or religious in any way. I really think that all he was doing was stating the obvious, that people hate at all degrees, whether it's because of what the bible says, or what people think it says. I didn't see any type of hate in his message, and he certainly wasn't condoning violence against gay people.

Well, thank you very much! Its very much appreciated when someone can actually see what I write and not automatically file it into "bigot". And to fully understand it is even better. You have a wonderful day!
