No, I can't.

To me it is intolerance. First, to label someone a sin because of they way they were born is just not acceptable to me. I know some people choose to be gay, but a good majority are born as such. If god makes people who they are, why would god create a walking sin? Secondly they place blame for terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and soldiers dying in Iraq because we "tolerate" gays. I am sure you would agree those in Kansas who walk around with signs that say "god hates fags" are intolerant, bigots, and/or just plain crazy. Falwell says the EXACT same shit as these people. How those statements could not be considered an advocation for intolerance...you have me baffled.

You can be born gay. It is a choice to bang your neighbors wife.

"My mother always told me that no matter how much you dislike a person, when you meet them face to face you will find characteristics about them that you like. Jerry Falwell was a perfect example of that. I hated everything he stood for, but after meeting him in person, years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling."

For this statement alone, I'll agree that you can be born gay.

You can be born gay. You can be born heterosexual. It's your choice to bang another dude. It's your choice to bang your neighbor's wife.

/agreeing that you're born gay

Do you believe in 'good' and 'evil'? Or even simpler, 'good' and 'bad'?

i believe in karma, right and wrong. i dont believe in sin. sin is a christian concept.

there is no 100% good or 100% evil. i believe in duality in everyone.

and now i believe it's quitting time and i'm going home.

toodles.

I have no respect for the guy either, I don't hate him, I just disagree with what he says

by the way, i'd like to add, the bible pre-st. james version might have more "love" than the st. james version and after... the translators fucked up a bunch....

negative. There are only a few well known translation screwups.

We have Bibles from before Jesus' time to compare ours to.

I totally agree that the world has been rid of an ignorant, hateful bigot, and this country is better off without him. Good riddance.

Do you know anything about Christopher Hitchens? He's a giant cock, which is one of the many reasons that he's a great man. And aside from the whole "I have enough common sense not to believe in God" thing, he's not much of a liberal. He's frequently on TV and in print defending neoconservative ideals.
