New Poll Shows Strong Catholic Support for Gay Rights

"It’s a popular stereotype that Catholics are more conservative than
their Protestant counterparts, but a new report reveals that Catholics
are more supportive of gay and lesbian rights than the general
population and other Christians."

One can't believe that the Bible is the word of Jehovah God and at
the same time support the homosexual lifestyle. But if it makes it
easier for you and your same sex partners, Pirate John or Mr. Sandman,
to attend Catholic church together as a couple or threesome, then this
new "report" should be good news for you. You will find a more
tolerant atmosphere for your "lifestyle" than in, say, Africa or some
of the islands in the Caribbean where the teachings of the Old
Testament are still taken seriously.

Yep, 74% of Catholics and 52% of Americans.

Suck on that. Unless you think it'll make you gay.

There is a lot of homosexual activities going on in the Bible. Owning
of slaves, too.

Horseshit. Please provide us with biblical references of Jesus'
comments about homosexuals. Put them here ==>

P.S. There is no "homosexual lifestyle," kook.

I include the Old Testament in my definition of Bible. Jesus wasn't
around at the time of Sodom and Gomorrah.

So you must reject the Nicean formulation that Jesus is "eternally
begotten of the Father".

Christ himself didn't take the pre-Talmudic verstion of the Old
Testament seriously, and actually went out of his way to ridicule and
annoy those who did.

So why should you?

That's a pity, because most Christians ignore large parts of it. You
see, most of us believe in a 'New Covenant'. You appear not to.....

Actually, he elevated the OT a bit. He said not one jot nor tittle
would pass away until the end of time.

Actually, he was referring to the 'law', by which he meant the six
hundred or so religious rules by which the devout lived. Or was he?
You see, he openly ridiculed the behaviour of some of the Pharisees in
their legalistic interpretations of the 'law.' When the lawyer
'tempted' him, the man is asked what the law says. The response is the
summary that Gamaliel or Hillel would have given...a summary of the
"spirit" of the law, not its legalisms. And Christ approved of that.
This is the man, remember, who deliberately broke sabbath observances
to make a point! And elsewhere subverted the regulation, as in the
woman taken in adultery, or the parable of the Good Samaratian.

He 'fulfils' the law with a New Covenant. The old legalisms are
redundant. Most Christians believe that (apart from some religious
nutters).

Even if your assertion were true, it is irrelevant. It is time for learn
that for believers in the Cosmic Muffin the meaning of "The Bible is word of
[incorrect Germanization of the name of the name of the god of the Jews
deleted] God" has a wider range than you seem to think.
And Christians that choose to accept the particular anti-homesexual passages
as relevant while not killing every child that strikes a parent are lying
hypocites.
But even that is irrelevant. Even if the Hairy Thunderer did exist, and the
Bible were his personal etch-a-sketch, that has nothing to do with what
should be public policy.

The fact that did not tell us where those places might be suggests that you
know the truth: there are no such places.

Powell favors same-sex marriage
Posted by
CNN's Gregory Wallace

"(CNN) - Gen. Colin Powell said Wednesday on CNN's "The Situation
Room" that he supports legal same-sex marriage, either at the state or
federal level.

"I have no problem with it," he said in the interview, which will air
at 5 p.m. ET. "In terms of the legal matter of creating a contract
between two people that's called marriage, and allowing them to [...]
