Creating an environment that is more intolerant of gays would increase the number of hate crimes on gays. Allowing anti-gay advertisement would add to creating an environment that is intolerant of gays.

archaic1128-I'm saying that those aren't really God's words (IMO). The Bible is still a book, regardless of its religious significance, and someone had to sit down and write it. God didn't just open up a celestial printing press and start dropping them down among the populace.
I'm not a Christian, but I used to be. One of the reasons I dropped it was the Bible. Another was the common belief among christian doctrines that going to church every Sunday somehow makes you a better person and more worthy of getting into heaven. There's a lot of crazy garbage in the Bible, there's even a passage that says if a woman is having her period and she touches a man, that man is stained with sin for several days. Don't yell at me for expressing an opinion in a thread that's mostly about just that-opinion.

Lex, you are saying that it should be illeagal to try to sway someone's opinion by exposing them to a thought. You would have free speach baned from all places if you truely belive what you wrote. Think about it a little. This thread is not about weather homosexuality right or wrong. It is about people no longer being able to express themselves freely without fear of being sued/arrested. A hate crime is a punishment for a thought. Thoughts should not be punished, only actions. A person hateing another group should be used as a motive in their conviction, but when we start punishing thought, we begin down a path of oppresion and totalitarianism. One step at a time, the govornment gains dictation on acceptable thought. Sometimes I wish I could find I hole to crawl into and hide while the world destroys itself and becomes what it set out to prevent. I understand how the "Savage" in "A Brave new World" fealt now.

Unfortunately most Christians are not very educated with regards to Christianity.

There, I edited that post...jeez, one little word and everyone complains.
Oh, and FYI to all those who support the Bible as irrefutable and infallible-there are several instances of inconsistency within the text, and there are also several passages that are in direct contradiction of other passages. That's what I'm basing my opinion that the Bible was made by men on.

There are just things that we don't want our children to be exposed to. Hate is something I don't want our children to be exposed to.

I do not go to church every sunday. I haven't went to church in years. No where in the bible does it state you MUST goto church to be a good christian. Although i have been an altar boy and went to church more in my youth than most people do in a lifetime. As far as not having sex when a womans time is in, did you ever think of the meaning behind it? Just take a look at diseases and how they are spread, think about that for a bit. As far as yelling at you i did not mean it that way. I was utterly shocked that you would state only a true christian believes that the Bible is just a fairytale. |

No no no no, I mean it actually says if she so much as touches the man, he's considered stained. That strikes me as being a little crazy.

Arshune, that is my belief of the context. I highly doubt it means the feeling of a woman. "Stained" if you think about it, when you have sex w/ a woman during her time, you do get stained. Blood to Blood contact, a way for most lethal diseases to communicate.
