Fight back against the "equality" avatars

[Timothy]

So many today have the "equality" avatar, or profile picture, on Facebook. I made one to fight back and display what I believe. You are invited to use it if you like.

God Bless.

apparently... according to some of the gay marriage supporters.. simply refusing to change your avatar to their silly pink plus sign.. is more than enough to show that you are against them.... and also a reason to reap the wrath of all those in support.. ... one of my room mates got un-friended by a facebook friend because she refused to change her avatar... ...  ridiculous things like that are why i;m glad i never got on facebook .... and never will... ..  i get all the online grief i need, over things i believe, right here on this humble little fff ... with less than 300 hundred members....  ..  i certainly don;t need to make myself a bigger target in front of half a billion of them...  :-\

Sticking with the platypus on FB.  It is far more trouble to change it than it's worth.  Not a hater, just lazy.

OK, that's done.

Well, I am a marriage equality advocate. But I don't do anything silly like change my avatar for every political cause that comes along. Or make fun of others for disagreeing with me. It's ok to disagree.  8)

That was kind of my point too.  I'm kind of on the fence as far as the marriage equality thing goes.  I don't mind if they have the right to get married simply because with all the privacy laws and things like HIPAA, they need that sort of protection so they can have their loved ones represented in case of hospital stays, estate and property issues, etc.

What I do mind is the fact that I don't want a law mandating that I as a prospective clergy perform such ceremonies or face legal sanction.

Right. You shouldn't have to do anything you don't believe in.  :-*

I imagine God was for marriage equality in the Garden of Eden. Please be kind enough to point out where the union of a man and man or a woman and a woman is stated there. Thanks

I would imagine many of the people for "marriage equality" see a distinct difference in a civil marriage and a religious marriage.

Yeah, I'm not changing my avatar either way.

You know what else irks me?  I "like" several God/Jesus-related pages, but I hate it when they post their daily "Share this if you love Jesus" along with a picture of a long-haired bearded hippie that's supposed to be Jesus.

I imagine many of the people (especially Christians) for "marriage equality" do not fully see homosexuality as a sin, a huge threat to our country, and a 100% unnatural occurrence.

When a boy or girl are born it is very obvious that one is different than the other.

This whole "equality" thing is just as crazy as a person wanting legal rights for their cat who telepathically told it's owner it really is a human. No, you look at the animal, judge the external characteristics and say with confidence - THIS IS A CAT.

But, sadly, when God is removed from our world view - ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

So - humanity can do what it will - but I still know that homosexuality is sin, any effort to integrate them into normal society is wrong, and one day this country will look back at these days and regret what they have allowed.

Just so I am not misunderstood by anyone reading this. I am not a people hater. I just love my God and his Holy Book and stand by the solid conviction that homosexuality is a sin.

I'm sure there are some of those, too. Personally, I see a huge difference in something that amounts to contract law and something that is the spiritual union of two separate souls.

Is there a secret homosexual army I'm unaware of?

[quote author=Timothy]...and a 100% unnatural occurrence.[/quote]

In most understandings, yes.

This isn't always true. True in the vast majority of cases, but not always.

Because someone wanting to have a say in who can and cannot make medical decisions for them is just like that.  :

Actually that's completely backwards.

Yes.

Absolutely no.

I kind of doubt this.

1 - Homosexual ≠ homosexuality
2 - Gluttony, divorce, and sloth are also sins. I don't see many in the Church pushing laws to make these illegal.

3 - It's a bit strange to listen to churchmen argue about how allowing a civil homosexual "marriage" will destroy the sanctity of marriage when half their congregation has been or will be divorced at some point. Perhaps we need to focus on brightening our own light (through Christ) so that it will shine more strongly instead of worrying about whether or not our neighbor's light is going to overwhelm the one we dimly hold onto.

There is a difference but unfortunately for Christians and Christian organizations this will be the grounds to force them to violate their conscience.  Because churches are considered businesses and Christians own businesses the LGBT groups will work tirelessly through lawsuits and intimidation to attempt to force these individuals and organizations to bow to their choice.  We have seen it already in courts with LGBT groups and individuals filing lawsuits against businesses that refuse to provide services for their civil unions.  They cry out that people are showing no concern for their happiness and then destroy the businesses that others have poured their lives into in their hedonistic pursuits.  Their heavy handed tactics are the catalyst for the fierce opposition they encounter.  I think we would all agree that we have a problem when someone thinks their happiness and their views are right and everyone else must ACCEPT those views and promote their happiness even at the expense of their own views and happiness.  That is where the LGBT groups and individuals stand.

I doubt that. 

The world is going to do whatever it wants to do.  We're not going to make it a Godly world by forcing non-Christians to behave like Christians.  We can't even get Christians to behave like Christians. 

The only thing I have against "marriage equality" is the word "marriage".  The word carries an identity with it.  When I say I'm married, it means I have a wife.  A female wife. 

Homosexuals of all people should understand this.  When a woman says she is a lesbian, it means she prefers women.  I'm all but certain she wouldn't want the government to redefine "lesbian" to include heterosexual males so that she's have to qualify it by saying, "I'm a lesbian who prefers homosexual woman, not heterosexual males". 

Neither do I want to have to qualify what it means that I'm married.  So leave the word alone.  Give equal rights and benefits to same sex couples.  That's fine with me.  But leave the word "marriage" alone.

Sorry, I don't need to play any silly little "change my avatar" games to "fight back". 

 

[Timothy]

Sorry. I don't believe homosexuals should be given anything more than a single man or woman already gets. This would include civil unions and all that nonsense.

But sure, this world will do as it wishes ...

But, I believe homosexuality is a sin and/or a sad psychological condition and society would be best to view it that way and not as some normal part of being human. As a Christian we shouldn't agree to civil unions, laws for their benefit, or respect for their sin.

Hate the sin, not the person.

 

[Ransom]

You are invited to use it if you like.

Or better yet, go on Facebook and actually articulate your opinion. You know, with words.

No, you hate the sinner...... Would you get this upset if guys are cheating on their wives?
