[Gay couple in Africa arrested and sentenced to maximum 14 years in prison after celebrating their engagement.]
I am so Thankful someone has the morals to stand up against this abnormal gay rights thing.. They are very sick people, and most do this just to get attention due to the fact they are trying to get attentiona and fit in.. This is not the way to fit in,,I can tell you this for sure. America don,t have the guts to stand up to them due to the political aspect of it.. They are afraid they will lose a vote on election day.. Well they are headed for disaster soon.. Just read the King James Version Bible and see what happened to the gay town of sodom and Gomorrah.. It was distroyed.. and so will America be.. They are headed for distruction if they don,t stand up and begin praying for this country again.. This country was built on a Moral background.. and we should take it back.. Without God nothing is possible,, but with him all things are possible.. tyvm

No they do it because people beat them senseless, tie them to fence posts and leave them to freeze to death. They do it because police illegally raid a gay bar to enforce unconstitutional "sodomy" laws (because the bar didn't pay their "protection" money).
Stop trying to make it sound like gays started it. You can't kick somebody in the balls and then turn around and blame them for being pissed.
God decided to destroy (not distroy) the cities of the plain because he could not find one good person there. Abraham agrued with him, but he did it any way. If this author thinks there is not one good person in America, then he must himself be evil.
I tried to read the KJV a few times. But it's so poorly-written and uninteresting that I always lose interest a couple pages into Genesis.
Your writing isn't much better.
Also, please stop assuming you know my motivation for wanting the right to marry the woman I love. You and your ilk always seem to assume wrong.

Are you retarded? How are you supposed to fit in by calling attention to yourself? Wouldn't it be easier to fit in if you, you know, blended in?
Part 2
Well they are headed for disaster soon.. Just read the King James Version Bible and see what happened to the gay town of sodom and Gomorrah.. It was distroyed..
Yes, because the crowd wanted to rape and kill the angels. Homosexual rape is a fuck of a lot different than two consenting adults. And here's the thing...we're grown men and women, free to make our own decisions. We don't need you telling us what is right and wrong for our lives.
and so will America be.. They are headed for distruction if they don,t stand up and begin praying for this country again.. This country was built on a Moral background..
It was built upon the right for grown men and women to live their lives as they see fit (provided it doesn't harm another) and worship as they see fit. You are taking away people's rights (even if it's the right to be wrong, albeit just wrong in the views of your religion) and the fundamental right to our own religion by forcing yours on us. You spit on the foundation of America.
and we should take it back.. Without God nothing is possible,, but with him all things are possible.. tyvm
Yay American Taliban!
Part 1
I am so Thankful someone has the morals to stand up against this abnormal gay rights thing..
Is it wrong that she describes it as a "thing" so flippantly pisses me off to no end? Like we're just spoiled children crying in the middle of the supermarket. FUCK!
They are very sick people, and most do this just to get attention due to the fact they are trying to get attentiona and fit in..
Oh yeah, homosexuals have SUCH a record of being accepted and seen as the coolest thing EVAR, and totally NOT being marginalized and targets of violence.
This is not the way to fit in,,I can tell you this for sure.
YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY!
America don,t have the guts to stand up to them due to the political aspect of it.. They are afraid they will lose a vote on election day..
It's almost like we're actual people, who deserve an actual say in how we live our lives. It's shocking, isn't it?
You are so fucking stupid it's almost beyond comprehension. Right, they're doing it to get attention, knowing full well they could go to JAIL for decades for this. When I first read the news about this, I felt sick and saddened to know that this kind of shit still happens, and that there's people like you that condone and praise it.
So they do it to fit in? No wonder I don't fit in, I'm straight. Oh who? Matthew Shepherd? He fit in you say? Even though he was beaten and tied to a fence. Don't stand up to it you say? Fred fucking Phelps. Gays that are beaten and killed. Both of those are your political aspects. The moral backbone you speak of had people killed on accusation alone.
@Sasha: It is in the Bible so she advocates it
"Without gawd nothing is possible, but with him all thinks are possible".
I just love that throwaway phrase. Completely meaningless, yet an ispiration to the xians. Well...without gawd, my alarm clock worked this morning. Also, my phone works, no thanks to gawd. But as they say, "with him all things are possible". Yeah? Like...getting rid of all the gays yall constantly complain about? how is that one working out for ya? Been praying about it? I guess gawd doesnt make things so possible afterall does she, he, it, whatever....
If they wanted to fit in so badly, they'd be straight. Trying to "fit in" by being different makes no sense. Oh, and the basic moral your country was built on is freedom for every one of its citizens.
Good god, woman, are you naturally that stupid, or do you have to TRY to be so ignorant and bigoted?
If God hates all the gay people, why doesn't he just smite them or make them heterosexual? Either he doesn't exist or he doesn't care. If you want people to be imprisoned for being homosexual, why don't you just move to Malawi or Iran? I'm sure you'd love it there.
Sodom and Gomorrah, assuming they actually existed, were two different towns. Just read the KJV of the Bible.
"Without God nothing is possible"
Hmm, so Satanic acts are impossible if God doesn't exist? You should get rid of God.
The couple in question is not actually two men -- they're a straight couple where the woman is MTF. It seems that Malawi, though, doesn't bother to separate their transphobia from their homophobia, so it's just an extra flavor of icing on the failcake.
fuck off bitch, fuck off and die horribly!
These people have got 14 years hard labour in a hell-hole of a gaol: effectively a death sentence. I know that is what you like about it but you are an evil waste of skin that we could easily do without
YOUR evangelical god-botherers are deeply implicated in the descent into barbarism being enacted in sub-saharan Africa, as their "loving" instruction gets swallowed whole by uneducated poverty-striken christains
Ya know something, Mary S? I want to try an experiment with your 'with god all things are possible' hypothesis. You claim to have god, so this ought to be a good and relatively simple test.
Put these skis on.
Now go ski through a revolving door.
How'd that work out for you?
Hello Mary.
I cannot let your caring and sympathetic paragraph pass without comment.
Firstly, gay is not abnormal. Bigots, however, are. And you are a bigot.
As a gay man of 67, I am probably in better health than you are. Certainly my mental health is self-evidently better than yours. And since when did people embrace being gay to gain attention. I assure you the kind of attention you are talking about is unwelcome to us. Most gay people just want to get on with their lives without bigot-noses like you poking into their lives.
You mean 'America doesn't', don't you? Perhaps a study of good English would take you mind off this monomania of yours. And on the subject of America, it is only a tiny part of the world. Moreover, people like you have alienated many non-Americans against your country and your culture. We despise intolerance such as you display, and we despise you for engaging in it. Then Sodom and Gomorrah are nor 'a' town. They were called the cities of the plain. They jury is out on whether they ever existed - just like the supposed Exodus. Even the Israelis admit that it is dubious. So much for an inerrant bible.
Your bible too is something that most of us regard with disgust. This English course I mentioned might enable you to read it dispassionately and critically so that you could see the horrors and evil that lie in it.
Keep your preaching for others who share you poisonous bigotry. I am not moved or impressed by publicly displayed ignorance.
With God, and I refer to any God or Gods, it will never be possible to end strife and misery in the world. And the ironical thing about that is that God or Gods don't really exist. However, without God or Gods, there may be a chance that we can avoid extinction for a while longer, possibly altogether, one never knows. All we need to do is realize that the God or Gods that don't exist, don't exist.
^^ What they said. ^^
Also WTF is it with fundies and punctuation abuse? Double commas, double periods, commas used as apostrophes.
Are fundies required to be illiterate as well as stupid and hateful?
Sodom and Gomorrah? Yes, moving tale, that one.
IIRC, the good guy is the one who volunteers his daughters to be gang raped in his guests' stead.
"I am so Thankful someone has the morals to stand up against this abnormal gay rights thing.."
Go and live in Africa then, you subhuman cuntbrained gobshite.
...no? Well then. You'll just have to tolerate the 'abnormal gay rights thing' in your country, and every other civilised part of the world.
"most do this just to get attention due to the fact they are trying to get attention and fit in."
By that logic, they'd have to arrest every child or teenager or anyone else that followed fads.
Looks like the president of Malawi has just pardoned those two blokes. That should get Mary's knickers in a twist.
To quote from a BBC report: "Correspondents say Malawi is a deeply conservative society where religious leaders equate same-sex liaisons with Satanism." Rational thinking never was much of a passion with fundies.
How do you sleep at night?
YOU are the "very sick person" here... that you can actually think of someone with a different sexual orientation as not worthy of the same rights as you. Where is the moral in that?!
most do this just to get attention
how in the hell do you know!?!??! are you gay!?!? clearly not! so how do you know what makes them gay? how can you possibly sit here and tell everyone why most of them are gay?? THEY DON'T CHOOSE IT!!! no one chooses a life of discrimination, of violence, of hatred. If you're God is so fucking great, then why hasn't he taught people like you what true acceptance is? "do unto others as u would do unto you".. in that case ure whole, "rights thing" is just abnormal. Who are you to expect equal rights if you are so quick to take it away from others? you are a horrible person.
Oh yeah Mary, who wouldn't love the attention of a 14 year sentence?
Oh by the way, time to brush up on your Bible skills. Sodom and Gomorrah -- their sin was being inhospitable.
I also think you'd be horrified if you knew the morality of our Founding Fathers.
Wasn't Sodom and Gommorah all about the rape rather than homosexuality. Unless I'm missing something, the main issue was the rape.
And that's before I get into the whole 'reports of such activity were probably exxagerated for whatever reason, since I find it highly unlikely that two entire cities could be founded on the ideal of rapeyness'
Because fitting in generally entails doing something that's going to get you 14 years in prison, right?
NO, IT FUCKING DOESN'T. THAT'S NOT THE UNDERLYING MOTIVE.
Furthermore, Sodom and Gomorrah are described as being generally depraved in just about any and every possible way, so much so that they're obviously being demonized to remove potential audience sympathy. That said, modern fundies such as yourself have simply latched onto the "EW GHEY" part, showing again that you're just using it to justify your own bigotry.
I agree that homosexuals are sick people and abnormal people and it surprises me that people can call this obviously deviant behavior normal. Maybe jailing them is a bit of an overreaction but I agree with the sentiment here. We don't let other people with mental disorders such as schizophrenics run around loose in society so why should homosexuality be any different?
But why do I even bother explaining these things to a bunch of liberals? I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is no way to discuss these things because neither side wants to give an inch and rightfully so for us conservatives because we can't compromise our morality. The only way either liberals or conservatives will get their way is through a civil war.
@DOS
You're the sick one. This what, like the 7th time you've brought up civil war? That means you want to kill your fellow countrymen. You fucking traitor! And yes, neither side is giving an inch but that's because one side is supporting human rights and the other is stubbornly clinging to their ignorance and xenophobia, wearing them like a fucking badge. You know what? In a democracy there's ALWAYS going to be someone that disagrees with your opinion and what, you'd have a civil war every time there's any controversy? Yeah, good luck living in a country with constant civil war. Hey, I have an idea: since you like civil war and bigotry so much, why don't you move to Africa? There are a number of countries in Africa that are gripped by civil war and use scapegoats to blame their troubles on. You'd fit right in.
You didn't "explain" anything, DOS. You just provided your usual trollish "opinion" in an attempt to stir up this board because you thrive on negative attention. No one cares what you think. You are worthless and inconsequential. And, quite frankly, you're boring, too.
And now these religious clowns will get even more bunched up since the gay couple has been pardoned and they will revise the old colonial time law and get rid of it.
Some times, sanity prevails, even in the darkest parts of Africa.
They are very sick people, and most do this just to get attention due to the fact they are trying to get attentiona and fit in
Yeah, all the lesbians I know just LOVE the attention they get from straight men who think they'd have any interest in them in a million years. /sarcasm
Dude, my first ever reading of that passage when I was a kid, I was already confused that God seemed to be wiping out an entire town not because its citizens were violent rapists, but because they were inhospitable.
Seeing as with god all things are possible, why don't all the fundies jump off the top of a skyscraper and see if they can fly?
The results will be messy, but the world (and especially the USA, dare one say) will be a much better place.
You think its moral to jail someone for 14 years, effectivley destroying their life, simply because they find themselves attracted to their own gender, and have a different view about that to yours?
Fuck you Mary S, from me and from everyone who has ever been persecuted by scum like you.
@#1162406: I know civil war looks fun in the comic books and in places like Sudan, but usually in real life, but in real life, people die in the crossfire people like you cause.
There won't be a civil war in this country unless gutter dregs like you start one.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
