abortion opinion
J.mendez as a high school student i think abortion is good although many of the peoples believes may be diffrent they depend on the bible. im catholic and i really think that, thats wrong but also people may have strong reasons for them that makes them do that act, but we have rights as citizens and we are free to do as we please even if others get offended or think is not right (as long as its legal of course).
Therapy helps with the deep-seated hostility towards God, straights, christians, and those who've violated you in some way. It can also help with the hetrophobia.
If you choose none of those...try getting on your knees and calling out to the Lord. He is quick to listen, forgive, and has tendermercies. He loves you so much.
Who ever hurt you in the past, was totally wrong and it's not your fault...but Jesus is waiting for you with open arms.

D. Ambience, you are my hero. Everything you said is absolutely true. People who misquote the Bible are my pet peeves, especially when they say "The Bible says to love everyone, so you should respect the gays". Tat is absolutely untrue. I can respect their soul and love them, but hate their actions. God loves everyone, but that doesn't mean He loves everything we do. In fact, He hates most of it. God created us all, and therefore has the right to dictate how we live. If you don't believe me, try looking in the Bible.
Lev 20:13 "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death."
1 Cor 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor HOMOSEXUALS"
1 Tim 1:9-10 "realizing the fact that (civil) law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and HOMOSEXUALS and kidnappers and liars and perjurers"
And that was only three. Clearly homosexuality is a sin, and all who commit it will quite literally burn in hell
MOVING OUT OF OUR DISFUNCTION (Comfort Zone) IS SCARIER THAN HALLOWEEN!
Not long ago, the DSM3 (Diagnostical Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) had homosexuality marked as a disorder. We're only up to the DSM4 at this time.
Anything out of sinc with the order of our Creator is WRONG. I can still like you, but hate what you do. And you're no better. You probably hate what I'm saying. But you don't know me as a person. You may have many qualities i would adore. But how I feel about YOu has nothing to do with obeying God. He comes first.
Yet Jesus stopped people from killing a prostitute, invited a thief (tax collector into his home, and said on the cross before His death, "Forgive them father, they don't know what they're doing."
Most gays according to studies have been sexually molested as children---enough to make anyone's life a disorder. It's horrible. But it happens. And no...there's NO valid scientific proof (only querries) that it's a genetic thing.
Even Darwin, towards the end of his life, debunked his own theory, stating, "I was merely throwing out querries, and people took to it like wildfire." Later they asked him what book he was reading, he said, "Hebrews (a book in the Bible), my favorite...Jesus and His salvation, isn't that the main theme," he explained!
Resistance to change usually transpires according to the extent of fear (mainly fear of change of old habit patterns) one carries. A disfunctional mate stays with her partner because she/he is used to the disfunction--it becomes familiar (our comfort zone)...anything new, and even possibly FUNCTIONAL is SCARY for some....whether you're a compulsive addict, thief, homosexual, or molester.
Change is scary. I know. But i will keep those in fear of change in my prayers. Pray for me as well.
Thank you,
God bless

you people are narrowminded
You people are so narrowminded.
Just because you don't agree with gay's and lesbian's life style and/or abortions doesn't mean you should be allowed ANY! opinion on the matter.
And you shouldnt be allowed any say! or input in how they should live their life.
If you don't agree with their decisions, that's all fine and dandy, you're entitled to your opinions, but you need to learn to keep them to yourselves!
And grow up!
And SCREW!! god!!!
If he and the bible are SO great. Then why are religious folks always preaching forgiveness but never really willing to give it.
Gay Marriage
Well my thought gay marriage is that it should be ok in the world it should not matter who you are in love with it just matter to you and your life partner. No one should be judged on would they should and should marry it is the persons choice about if you marry a man and you are a man or if you are a women marrying a women. For example no one says any thing about Ellen Degeneresses marriage though so if the people do not care what genere you are why should other people care though. I strongly believe that Gay marriage should be approved , and i am not Bi or Gay I am straight and it would not matter who you marry it should only matter if you care a lot about them and no one understands if the person is straight or tradition on old beliefs that terms have change not for the worst for the better though. Like my mom always says to me never judge a book by its cover expspecial if you do not know them cause the could turn out sweet and care and sorts of stuff. People should give it a chance beefore they judge on some thing.
Ignorance
I believe that ignorance is led by a lack of education. Being different does not necessarily mean being wrong or being outcast. The gay and lesbian community should have their own rights, as they are HUMAN BEINGS just like the rest of us. They are a part of the population as well, and they also pay their dues and taxes. If Obama is elected as president, I hope that he will change things in America. Though it will probably take a long time for change to occur, the mere possibility of such is well-worth the wait. This issue is not a matter of God, Allah, or whatever you refer to Him as. It is a matter of the human race, of compassion and acceptance. You are your own person, and you can make your OWN decisions. Since when was loving someone, gay or straight, ever condoned? To those too UNEDUCATED to comprehend the meaning of acceptance, I'll leave you with this. If you don't like paying taxes for these causes, move to another country.
abortion and gay marriage
im tired of my tax dollars going into abortions and laws for gay marriages.read your bible. and if you dont believe in it, well you will pay in the end .i dont care what anyone says, a unborn baby is human and it is wrong for two men or to women to have sex and they know it to .and i think it is time parents start raising there own kids .the government should stop telling us were stupid and we cant do it without their help. where are our rights . but out. its none of the governments business.you are supposed to be running the country not sticking your nose in our homes. oh i forgot none one can run the country, or we would not be in the mess were in now.and now you want us to cut back .i live on 800. a mounth. my bills are 765.what would you like me to cut back on food medicine.your pockets are full of our money and now you want more. get a life.
Chris...
You say you want us to grow up "4real"; why don't YOU grow up and actually use complete sentences, and real grammar?
This is a news site, not freaking Myspace...
But if your gay, it kind of does make you a sinner, it's right there in the BIBLE, and the TORAH, and the KORAN (Quaran?!?), so no matter what religous point of view your trying to take, your still a sinner, it's just the severity of the sin that changes.
Read leviticus, it will tell you exactly what your doing wrong.
