Absurd, utterly absurd.

Certain passages of the Bible can be construed as hate literature if placed in a particular context, according to a Canadian provincial court.

The Court of Queen's Bench in Saskatchewan upheld a 2001 ruling by the province's human rights tribunal that fined a man for submitting a newspaper ad that included citations of four Bible verses that address homosexuality.

People hate being wrong. But the column is correct. This would never happen to the Koran.

Which part of it do you feel was absurd? The fine, or fact that some guy posted the ad?

mistled · 2003-02-18, 10:47 AM

I find it absurd that the guys actually sued and won. But you knew that before you posted.

what the hell is this world coming too ???

I agree it is quite absurd. What ever happened to freedom of speech?

"This would never happen to the Koran."

Very true, there are numerous events taking place now where Islamics are killing Christians just because they're Christian. I'm not talking about a few murders, i'm talking by the thousands. The sad part is that the governments of these nations stand by and watch the persecution and do nothing about it. What really irks me is that our so called free press never reports on the persecution of Christians, but if the Islamic's get attacked by Christians in any form the press is all over it. Here's a few articles if interested.

Ahh the spam squad led by Abraxxas has struck. Go away kid, no one is gonna bite that loaded pile of dingo dung you are trying to pass as intelligent thought.

ANY WAY:

Whats absurd is that a Homosexual can frely promote his beliefs, but if someone is offended by them and promotes why they feel such a choice of lifestyles is wrong.. they are offending people and promoting hate speech.

Whatever, a revival of tradintional morals and values is comming, and people will realize how absurd the world is.

Sorry Hamma, but that one caught me all pissy last night.

Bighoss · 2003-02-18, 03:16 PM

does anyone feel now that if anyone doesn't sugar coat something it is considered offensive?

ABRAXAAS we have to let people say what they want because slowly but surely other things will be outlawed making us the terran republic !

vicchio how the hell did u get so smart?

ABRAXAAS · 2003-02-18, 03:21 PM

Its not a matter of free speecha its a matter of purpously attacking someone for there way of life . That add attacked the gay and lesbian population . It didnt say "I dont believe in people being gay " It said being Gay is wrong and these quotes from the bible say you should be killed " its the difference between right and wrong . Its right to have beleifs its wrong to force those on other and attack there beleifs . get your head out of your ass learn the difference.

MrVicchio · 2003-02-18, 03:23 PM

But those same people of the GLBT community can freely post "ITS OKAY TO BE GAY!" Which offends a large number of people?

Absurd.

mistled · 2003-02-18, 03:25 PM

Exactly, the absurdity is that I can't state my beliefs without being called a bigot, but the person calling me a bigot can, even though his comment is slander because it specifically attacks me, but my statements are simply a statement of what I believe to be true; directed toards an action and not at any person in particular.

No one tried to force their opinion on anyone. That's like saying that Pepsi is forcing me to drink Pepsi by telling me to in an ad. That's ludicrous. Get your head out of your ass and learn the difference.

A homesexuals beliefs are not founded on hate. A homosexual hater's beliefs are founded on hate. Do you see the difference.

I am definately not for creating a social environment where hate is a family value.

I have no right to punch you. But if you swing at me I have the right to defend myself and I have the right to sue you for assaulting me.
