maybe our culture can accept a gay culture, but a religion based on the Holy Scripture should not accept a gay leader. a religion is not a culture. it's like for the Buddist monks to have a leader that eats meat and practices sex. We cannot modify the Bible to fit the culture. It's like a priest or pastor saying "It's ok to have pre-marital sex coz now it's the 21st century, the Bible is outdated now". That's wrong.

What's your opinion?

One minute they are Jesus freaks, then the next minute they are snorting coke, killing innocents in the middle east for oil, going to strip clubs, gambling etc... How can someone be a man of god and do these things that are considered immoral to the bible thumpers? Pathetic.

Only as humanity evolves can it understand the ascent of its highest. When God speaks you can only understand what you are ready to understand. Read a book as a child and as an adult. You'll see what I mean. Some of you may want to reread this later.

all religions are basically cults
False. A cult is a religious sect having extremist views and one that's seen as false and usually under the domination of a cult leader.

Jelly's right. If your cult gets big and popular enough it becomes a religion.

Explain, please. How can any religion not be seen as false?

A cult worships Satan, as simple as that.

Catholic is becoming more cultic because they believed in the Pope, and the Pope is 10O% human elected by humans, and some of those humans are electing a gay bishop. They almost are like worshiping the Pope. and all those scandals.... they are becoming more like one of the fallen Church described in Revelation.

This Bishop is not part of the Roman Catholic church.

It wasn't Catholics that elected a gay bishop and the Pope's religion is the first and only true Christian faith. All the others are heretical cults, like your religion, mooncancook, and what a terrible name. If your moon cooks, it's with fart gas. And stop worshiping the devil.

Correction; the cult must evolve else it lose its membership. Ever wonder why the Amish are so few?

with gay shows on NBC. Gay supreme court rulings. Gay bishops. And gay men rebranding themselves as "metrosexuals," Homos are not just coming out of the closet, they're skipping and prancing up a fierce storm.

No need to start name calling, just state your opinion.

anyway i apologize for what I said that may offend any Catholics. I don't have anything against Catholics. as a matter of fact, there shouldn't be any difference between Catholics and Christians as long as they both focus on God. but then again sometimes a church can lose focus, such as focusing too much on working toward a ticket to Heaven, while the Bible clearly says that salvation is a gift by grace not earn by work.

I thought Bishop exist in the Catholic system. maybe i'm wrong. with so many scandals coming out of catholic churches, it's hard to deny there's something wrong.

Does that pose a big problem for you?

not for me, but for children all over America. It'll confuse them. Homosexuality may be an accepted aberration of (human) nature, but it shouldn't be accepted as just sexual phase. Not only will that stunt the population over the long term, but it has catastrophic moral consequences, the least being family values.

I agree. Gay is a practice of sexual immorality, it's unnatural. it's not right that we publicly accept it. it's like publicly accepting adultery. with the way things are going, maybe one day having sexual relationship with animals is in the accepted norm.

Maybe you, Dari and Pat Robertson can go have a prayer-a-thon about it. Meanwhile, the rest of us can mind our own business content in the fact that nothing's being hurt except your fragile religious sensitivities.

Perhaps, one day when you're walking your kids in the park and see two grown men either having aggressive anal sex or performing a 69, you'd have no problem explaining it to them.

Wow Dari, you certainly have some explicit little fantasies there. Are you sure you're not gay?

No, I'm not gay. And it's not a fantasy I've seen sh!t like this in the early morning down in Battery Park City. I damn near threw up. If I had a kid and they saw that, I couldn't explain it to'em.
