It's interesting how you know so much about what it is to be gay when you are not gay yourself. Jeez, can't you see that you have no credibility talking about something you know nothing about? Would you accept anyone else telling you how to live? You're entitled to your belief, I'll respect your right to that unconditionally. But you have no business foisting it out upon the world and expecting anyone else to step in line behind you. Man, how pompous can you get? By the way, I'm a gay man. By your logic...how about when your daughter grows up I marry her?

Abomination

How do religious folks know that homosexuality is not God's will? Did they conference with Him recently? Did He send them an email? How do they know it's not God's population control? Last I checked the world was not in any danger of the human species dying out. What ever happened to "mysterious ways"? Or how do they profess to speak for God at all? I thought it was blasphemy to do that. I thought God didn't make mistakes so why do gay people exist at all if they're such an affront to Him? Religious folks accept natural disasters and any number of horrific events that make people die unnecessarily, and God gets off the hook for those, but gays want to settle down in loving, committed relationships with a legal contract and suddenly religious folks are up in arms because God supposedly doesn't want that?

LoL

This is still going on? At what point did this real estate proposition turn into a gay debate?

It basically boils down to this point, EVERYONE has a right to thier own opinion HOWEVER nobody really gives a crap about your opinion on this topic AND it doesnt really belong in this blog since the topic is about your thoughts on whether or not this is a good business plan

I personally believe in god I do not however believe that these self righteous bums that are attempting to call themselves christians have the right to pass judgement on anyone thats God's Work not Man's Work

If you dont think gays should marry GOOD FOR YOU ! keep it to yourself the bible doesnt ask christians to condemn people it asks christians to forgive and understand people even sinners not that im saying gay people are sinners

i dont believe i can make a sound judgement as to whether or not it is

nor do i believe any man or woman on this earth can make that decision

you know whats wrong deep in your heart and god will judge everyone

i agree with J.Carrillo about how scary it is to see the supposed christians being so hostile towards anyone ever

REAL FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST ARE ABOUT PEACE NOT HOSTILITY

the people using bible quotes to condemn otehrs definitely need to reread the good book with a bit more understanding

all im trying to say here is spread the love.. not the hate

Erik of OH @ Jun 19, 2008 00:22:49 AM

So many scary, violent christians

Wow, it truly is scary to contemplate that these people who are hateful and unforgiving think of themselves as Christians. If they were truly Christian, they would show charity, forgiveness and love to their gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.

Homosexuals are God's choosen few

I find it hard to understand those bible thumpers who could believe that God created this planet and everything on it but fail to realize that homosexuals exist on God's planet as well...must have been created by God. Do you think God made a mistake - he didn't know what he was doing? You're perfect and when you get to heaven you will explain it to him; is that it?

God, so powerful, gave each living being the power to breath in and breath out every day of our lives without even thinking about it but couldn't muster up enough talent to give those same living beings the knowledge to bid his will without a book of religion to tell them how to live their lives. And just to mess with them, he gives them a religious book written in circles and vagueness. Are you people kidding me with your religions?

God gave you each the inborn knowledge to do what is right. Search your hearts and you will know His word without any paper at all. How can two people who love one another be so wrong when God himself gave them the ability to do just that - homosexual and heterosexual. Your messing with your God's children!

For the individual from Tn who thinks same sex is unnatural and so has never seen animals of the same sex go at it, get off your sister and get a television. Animal planet will educated you in this area as well. It's very natural.

For all the hypocrites who proclaim to know how perverted same sex is, from where do you gain your knowledge? You all speak like experts in this area so I assume you have experienced a same sex encounter. Otherwise you would just be spewing rhetoric. Sex is really not that different between the sexualities in that it usually all ends in the big O. How can that be wrong.

One final word - what does sex have to do with marriage? If you are so concerned about same sex, why isn't there an amendment to illegalize that. Homosexuals won't stop having sex just because they aren't married - would you?

Know this - homosexuals pay a ton of taxes. That means that part of your child’s education, part of your unemployment check,' part of your social security check, part of the money used on defense spending and welfare, come from the very people you choose to hate. I suggest you are not God's greatest work and that he has had prouder moments than what he sees know with your actions.

ALL YOU GOD PREACHIN IDOTS ARE HATERS

And for the "I Was Gay" John B of North Carolina....LOL LOL LOL uh hu...if you're married...I hope your wife gets tested often.

It's hard to beleive that these people are for real...I mean...is this the 1700's??? are we on Amish grounds??? I just don't get it??? Are you all that afraid of your own sexuality that you are obsessed with what is going on in other families??? I've seen what most of you bible thumpers look like...you don't have anything to worry about...they gays do not want you!

You have a right to beleive everything you read in your story book "The Bible" (but of course you only pick and choose the parts to follow). And we have a right to believe the parts we want.

Oh...and all the bad disasters that are supposed to happen here in CA??? It's like 85 degrees with a cool breeze out of the west....it sure is a disaster...how is it in the sticks in the midwest???

Settle down, now

As Jim pointed out above, the US was not 'founded on the bible'. Most of the founding fathers were very clear that the country that they were establishing must be independent of any church. If by natural, you mean occurring in nature, then homosexuality is natural; just a little less common. Left-handedness isn't common, but it is natural; in the past, the left handed were prevented from becoming ministers or holding other positions of authority because of what the Bible had to say about the left-handed. Fortunately, common sense has prevailed on that issue, as it will on sexual orientation and LGBT rights.

question.

this is a blog under the pretense of real estate so why are you ppl turning it into a gay debate? noone cares if your gay or straight take this to a different blog

Erik of OH @ Jun 18, 2008 18:48:51 PM

Allen
