About time Christians come out of the closet

This has been aired by CBS during today's Broncos-Patriots game:

Love it, love it, love it... is not it better to promote love and understanding than teach our kids the goodness of homosexuality?

Love it, and touched by it; good job, FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

 

How about people in the US just leave other US citizens alone and let them live their lives they way they see fit...........I just don't get why in America today everyone seems to have an opinion on how other US citizens should be living. It's just all so stupid

 

10-20% of those kids will turn out to be gay.

Just saying.

 

yea, but I was not talking about Kalifornia...

 

How can that be when only 2-4% of the US are gay

pretty sure it was a joke

 

Not funny or cute

 

relax buddy, the gays aren't coming to get you......yet

 

It's to bad that so few religious people actually follow the tenants of the bible.

 

Well, my naming for this thread was probably not the best - last thing I wanted to talk about was gays. I wanted to bring attention to the beauty of the ad run by the Focus on the Family. We need more organizations like that, promoting Christianity, to combat what they teach kids in skruls nowadays.

 

Most all paying advertisers should feel free to advertize.
Its up to the consumer to watch, or walk away.
We either hold freedom of speech in high regard, or we don't.
...I do FF through some commercials, as they are offensive to me.

 

You could contact one of the staff members and have it changed.

 

Leave the evangelising to the nutter hillbillies and their snake-charming, tongue-speaking meathead buddies in their mountain enclaves, where they, and it, belong.
There is a world full of normal people who don't want to hear pious crap about 'family values', 'the American way' and assorted 'christian' fantasies.

 

In other words, in your book it's OK to promote homosexuality in Kalifornia skruls, but it's not OK to promote Christianity?

 

Yes they are.They are in the schools with GLSEN indoctrinating the children

 

So you want to use stats that are opinions and assumptions with no proof. Typical lies from the left

 

How does an awareness of homosexuality translate into 'promoting' homosexuality? And yes, I believe religion, and most emphatically any promotion of religion, should be kept out of schools other than as a study of theology in general, and encompassing ALL faiths.

 

Here is the problem I have. Christians talk about freedom of speech and how they have the right to put those commercials on the air. I agree with them, they do have the right to do that. My problem comes from the fact that they feel that no one else has the right to do the same. If I was to put a commercial on the air espousing the benefits of Atheism or even a Neo-Pagan religion like Wicca, the Christian conservatives would boycott the station, put out a full page ad denouncing the "Satan Worshippers", and talk about how "not every religion should be protected as a religion."

 

Very well put.

 

And it is their right to "boycott the station, put out a full page ad denouncing the "Satan Worshippers", and talk about how "not every religion should be protected as a religion."

 

and it is hypocritical for them to complain when someone else does it. However, Hypocrissy is about par-for-the-course when it comes to Christianity.

 

Where have Christians said that?

 

I can think of a couple of Christians who have said that on this Forum.

 

Then Gov. Bush said that when there was a report about a group of Army soldiers and dependants at Ft. Hood. The local christian groups were protesting outside the base when they found out that the Chaplains on base were giving the Wiccans a place to hold their Sabbats and Esbats. A reporter asked Gov. Bush what he thought and he said: "I don't think that witchcraft is a religion. I wish the military would rethink this decision."

According to the Military Chaplain's Handbook and since 1984's court ruling: Wicca and Neo-Paganism is a religion protected by the First Amendment.

During my 15 years in the military I worked with several chaplains at the various ships I was stationed on to start Pagan study groups. On my last ship, As the senior enlisted Pagan the chaplain knew, I was the point of contact for any pagans that checked onboard (and at one point we had a group of about 10 people in our group, that was alot for a Guilded-Missle Cruiser.) I presntly consider myself more of an Atheist than a Pagan.

 

The title does not refer to homosexuality. The title refers to the fact that the OP feels that it is about time that Christians become proud of being Christian and proclaim it loudly and publicly.
