Where are these sources then? Common, this is like posting up a climate change link from exxon mobil! It is your right not to vote for them, but it is our right to vote for them. I don't like bigoted rednecks sickos either and would never vote for em!
God still gave us our free will, but they seemingly want to play God from what I can ascertain. To me it is basically playing the devil, who is the god of control, and control is a bad thing isn't it? All things are permissible but not all things are beneficial! It ain't beneficial in terms of propagation obviously, but hey, that's their free will, as God has given them!
I wouldn't mind at all, if he or she is dependable, responsible, and likes kids. Basically. I would have the same rquirements from a gay babysitter than from a heterosexual one. I would certainly hope that, in either case, sexuality would not be included in the job description anyway!
I know i know you prefer the sensible stuff right, like the world bank telling you its the end of the world unless you pay a carbon tax into a $2 trillion dollar market. Can't go past bankers they are always full of good intentions, but for who? That's the real question!
How do we change the bankers hold over us. If it wasn't them, it probably would have been another system. Maybe we should be saying the alcoholics anonymous serenity prayer: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
And they demonstrate the problem with that type of politics. When politics are based on religion it very often oppresses the people who do not agree entirely with the teachings of the current government. As demonstrated by their politics at this time. Yes I know this. However, this does not detract from the fact that acceptance of homosexuality in the congregation. As many Christians believe it is a disease they can cure so the people are only inflicted, they are still people of GOD. OK... And? Does this make religion any less manmade? Do you consider everybody who is not part of your religion are not people of god? The POPE has is nothing in your opinion (regardless of religion). Really seems to me to be a religious debate that has very little to do with the OP.
In QLD anyone working with children has to apply for a Blue Card. Without it working with children is illegal.
Seriously ? The only book you are talking from is the book of s#it ! You religious blow yards get under my skin.
If you are using religious arguments to infringe on the rights of others, you lose any right to have your beliefs go unchallenged. So to everyone here claiming their god hates homosexuality: Prove your god is real. It's just reasonable, isn't it? We want to be certain that we are getting our divine laws from something real, don't we? Once you've done that, we will take your religious dogma as law.
