I read it and skipped it since we've discussed this true and true. But then it hit me. Creationist have to accept defeat since homosexuality is a fact. So in short if a mother is stressed out during pregnacy the chances are that a kid could be homosexual. A hormonal effect. And suddenly we are not designed so intelligently...uh What was that again... [[Creation Ministries International]] states: "Homosexual acts go against [[God]]'s original [[Intelligent design ...(more) Who is confused here! So someone else was tinkering with the toys? Made a rip-off? A cheap copy? Well we have a special copy-rights infringement squad for that. But how would they go about it? Or is it moral judgement and should we get the thought-police and vote for a totalitarian state! All I see is some conservative yokel trying to curb human rights again.

Republican Party Playbook: 1. Constantly denigrate a segment of the American population, Gays. Collect donations. 2. Constantly denigrate another segment of the American population, Atheists. Collect donations. 3. Equate the two denigrated groups. Collect donations.

Conservatives in both politics and in the churches have made millions of dollars in donations on the backs of gays in the past 40 years.

Please clarify what you mean by "on the back of gays" otherwise people might imagine all kinds of stuff here. And are there enough gays to make millions of dollars from? I thought politicians' cash cows were big co-operations, made up of gays & non-gays.

I thought politicians' cash cows were big co-operations, made up of gays & non-gays. I can now see how that may have been a poor choice of words, open to unintentional interpretations with certain people. The likes of Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, the AFA, etc. have been collecting $millions in contributions from Americans trying to buy their way into heaven by using gays as a target of their fear mongering. It's usually with their slippery slope arguments. Now, which political party is in bed with these conservative evangelicals promoting their exclusionary and discriminatory marriage and family values agenda? This is one reason full equality of gay rights, gay marriage, and other equal legal rights have been slowed and impeded in this country. That would be the "on the back gays".

Correction: not "back gays", but "back of gays."

Why are human rights not a given in America? 1 the money is too good 2 war and strife keeps the population fit Makes you wonder if republicans should not be locked up permanently for treasonous, undermining activities of the American Nation State and it's civilians constitutional rights and for contravening the HR convention of Geneva and subsequent protocols.

The fear game does not require that there be any of whatever threat the grifters are using to scare the rubes into parting with cash to be protected against. There were never many communists in the US, but Joe McCarthy built a political career as America's 'protector against the communist menace.' Churches raise money for 'battling satan', who is entirely imaginary. The idea of gays is enough for the grifters to run this con. No actual gays are necessary, so the fact that gays actually exist is a plus for the grift, but not a necessity. The number of gays actually in existence is not relevant. The only thing that matters is the number the rubes can be induced to believe exist.

So, I take it from the Conservapedia article that if you're a gay Christian, you may as well blow off your religion and become a gay atheist instead. Oh, well...
