I'm going to say something vulgar here and I'm sorry. I just don't know a better way to make my point.

This statement above implies being gay is a choice. If that were true, I could one day decide that I'm sick of having sex with women and start getting turned on by a big hard penis instead.

I for one, cannot change my mind about that. Hard penises just don't do it for me. I can't change what turns me on.

Can you? Could you decide that you'd rather have a man's penis inside your behind? Rather than your penis inside a woman?

If you can, then your statement about morals makes sense. But, if you agree with me, then it isn't a moral choice and people just do what's right for them.

Live and let live.

No one said homosexuals were low lives, didn't deserve forgiveness like the rest of us, ect. No one said anything negative in that area about homosexuals.

Go to the link in the OP, and read the comments that were posted. More than one person belittled the humanity of homosexuals.

Also, a few pages back (on this thread), someone did single out homosexual behavior for condemnation, as if that behavior was the only behavior worthy of condemnation.

Uh, refusing to purchase an item from a company is bullying?

Uh, refusing to purchase an item from a company is bullying?

Would you not think I was a bully if I threatened your livelyhood if you did not agree with my ideas?

Specificlly not buying it yourself no.
It kind of seems that way to me if you; however, demand others to do it or then they are ridiculed, threatened, or otherwise made to suffer. Would you not think I was a bully if I threatened your livelyhood if you did not agree with my ideas?

I really don't care what another chooses for themselves, But not for me. Im not like the haters that wrote their hypocrisy all over those pages. Against, Tolerate, Neutral or Supportive stance, will likely be whatever they were before this campaign.

They were foolish enough to promote something other than their product, then they took a chance that they will gain more customers than loose by that type of marketing. Why not support Cancer or AIDS?

If they made a Jesus cookie, a skinhead cookie, a marijuana leaf shaped cookie or anything else that is controversial, they are promoting that lifestyle and the ideas that go with it... and will have to deal with the consequences, no?

This thread has moved away from the actual subject of the OP.

It refers to comments posted on another website, comments that are not the kind that any Christian should make. These particular comments reflect judgement without any biblical guidance.

partially true, the title is about homophobia but the initial comment was about homophobes boycotting cookies...

TexasScoundrel,

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

As msharmony has pointed out, behavior usually is a choice, which is why I talk about behavior, not feelings.

Anyway, when I went to the link posted in the OP, I was disgusted by some of the things that I read. Although some people cited religious reasons for opposing sex between persons of the same gender, other people said mean things, things that IMHO conflict with a godly response to the topic.

When someone "quotes" a response and replies, they are responding to that which they quoted. Any previous comments by other's are moot, so matters not what someone said a few pages back, or even specifically in the OP itself.

All but one sin is equal and forgivable. The only sin unforgivable come judgement is denying the lord thy God. All other sins, weather it be a murderer, a theif, a lier, a homosexual, ect is all forgivable. Ask and ye shall receive. We know not whom will die eternally, we know not if a specific homosexual will, we know not if a specific murderer will, ect. All sins are worthy of death.

I just get the feeling that some are suggesting religion as an excuse for what some of those people have said. I'm certainly not saying that everyone has to agree with homosexuality, but when someone says such nasty things as what those people have said on that link, not even religion can excuse them.

BTW, in Human Sexuality, orientation is described by the infamous Bell curve (which describes most things). Ergo, at the two farthest ends (two standard deviations) are the 100% Homosexual and Heterosexual populations. Everything in between is well inbetween.

The thread was originally about the link I shared in the first post, where many, many people said very nasty things about homosexuals. So no, that's not moot. That's still what we are discussing.

Last comment on this specific thing.

The thread itself may be about that link and all. But when someone "quotes" someone's statement, what is said in the original post is moot to the response. Anything said about the quote, is about the quote, not about the original comment.

I have to disagree. If it's off topic, it's off topic.
