What are these guys doing, looking to get pissed off??

Publishing an add that promotes hatred of gays is not socially acceptable.

Publishing an ad that promotes the hatred of Muslims is unacceptable.

Publishing an ad that promotes the hatred Christians is also unaceptable.

We are not trying to create an environment that promotes hatred.

Ok Lex,
This is where you get it wrong. Tolerance is part of the christian community. Yes God tells us to tolerate different lifestyles.
Now please show me where this guy publicly states he HATES homosexuals. I believe this ad simply states Gods beliefs and Gods rule. So to be politically correct for you immoral liberals the homosexual community should be sueing God as he is the one who threatens to kill homosexuals.

It's kinda like posts in this forum, if you don't like the topic don't read or respond. Noone can force you to follow their beliefs unless you are willing to follow, period.

Children under the age of 13 might see the ad and have their opinions swayed. Their thinking will be hey, this is in a newspaper so it must be true. Not everyone in society has the ability to make up their own mind.

this south african guy expained to me once that people don't hate other cultures and races because they really hate them. Its that they are like another tribe who they are no use to and don't like. Hate is instinctual and it will never go away.

NEWSFLASH!

nobody is promoting hate. we're promoting our opinion which happens to be the opposite of theirs. almost everybodies arguement here is that it is "hate" literature, and promoting "hate" is wrong.

where's the hate?

This guy did not reference any scripture about tolerance. He posted scripture that referenced intolerance.

The message the ad reads (to anyone not thouroughly farmilliar with the bible) is that Christianity is intolerant of gays.

So someone who was raised to beleive that Christianity is right, but did not thoroughly investigate the bible, will get the impression that they are justified in actively being intollerant of gays.

Posting out of context Bilble quotes is a dangerous weapon and should be checked.

Saying that these lines are rules straight out of God's mouth is posting out of context. If you are not farmilliar with historical bible research, you don't realize that the bible was written by humans who were divinely inspired. Humans are not perfect and may misinterpret or include their own political adjendas. The bible has also gone through many translations. I wonder if this guy uses electricity on the Sabbath. Isn't that breaking one of gods rules? Or do we think some of "God's rules" are outdated?

The Bible has been used to promote many evil adjendas. Just because they are quoting scripture does not mean it is acceptable. Context is very important.

I am sorry but you are wrong. A "Homosexuality is not ok" parade would promote hatred of homosexuality and homosexuals.

That is alot like saying that the KKK does not promote hate. In theory it doesn't, in reality it does. Promoting intolerance promotes hate.

NEWSFLASH!
We aren't living in a theoretical fantasy land. We live in Reality. Promoting intolerance of gays promotes hatred of gays.

Anything that does not Promote the Liberal Ideals of Life are hate speech

Anything that is not Pro-Gay is Hate speech.

Lex, that sums up your point.

My point, the one that irked me, was that you can say "Yes to Gay Life" But you cant say "No to Gay Life"

Disagreement based on religious beliefs is not hate. If disagreement is hate, then the world must be a hateful place to you.

Lexington_Steele · 2003-02-18, 04:59 PM

Plain and simple, if more of the anti-gay lifestyle sentiment was presented in society, would hate crimes on gays go up?
