Dumb Letters to the PD Dept: Whole Heaping Helping of Hatred.

[HughBeaumont]

Jesus H. Christ on a Stick these people just fucking SUCK. A landmark legal precedent has been set and you and your book of half myths can just ABIDE.

Human rights are not a matter of "difference of opinion" and it's the ultimate in hubris to think you can tell someone who they're allowed to love. GROW UP and GET THE FUCK OVER IT, ASSHOLES.

Now that the gays have won in the Supreme Court, now that their "marriages" must be recognized by all the states, it is high time they stop bullying the bakers, the florists, the photographers, and all the other Conscientious Objectors whose deeply rooted religious beliefs preclude any participation in such ceremonies.

OH, WEATHER THE STORM, you delicate flower. Fuuuuuuuuuuu . . . .

The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50states is a slap in the face to both Bible-believing Christians and all Americans who cherish voting rights and democracy.

Jesus confirmed in the Gospels marriage was to be modeled after Adam and Eve — one man and one woman. This is the way God designed and intended it in the beginning. God created man and woman to be the perfect complement to each other, our sexuality given to us for the purpose of procreation. Additionally, marriage is meant to be a picture of the impending union of Jesus (the bridegroom) when he returns and is joined to his bride, the church (i.e. all who have believed on him as Lord and Savior).

By their decision, the Supreme Court negated millions of votes cast in Ohio and more than 30 other states where voters decided to retain traditional marriage by a wide margin. Ultimately, one unelected official wearing a black robe in Washington D.C. decided for us what he thinks is "best" for the residents of Ohio — and the nation — rather than allowing the democratic process to function. Not only did their actions negate millions of votes, but also the sovereignty of the states as well. Make no mistake: Rule by judges is the single biggest threat to freedom and democracy we face in this nation.

Yeah, that same guy who brought you W. and Citizens United. You know, those two things that you wholeheartedly support. But hey, YOU people are the cherry-picking experts.

It once was said that for evil to thrive, all it takes is for good people to do nothing.

Just because it is legal for same sex "marriage" and just because it is legal for abortion on demand, does not make either of these actions right or moral.

Our society has truly lost its moral compass. God is surely weeping over us, just as Satan is rejoicing. Who is your God?

Then there's this fucking guy . . . .

Justice Kennedy, there is no dignity in sodomy! Dignity cannot be bestowed by a court. No judge can make male-on-male sodomy "worthy of honor and respect." Honor and respect come from within. No man can ever feel dignified as another man violates his mouth or anus. It is the ultimate desecration of manhood.

You can call it "marriage" if it makes you feel better, but two men doing despicable things to each other's bodies can never be dignified. Calling it "gay" does not make it so. Sodomy is filthy; in fact, God calls it abominable.

The Plain Dealer actually printed this. Funny thing is, the way they describe physical acts of sex (particularly when it relates to same-sex couples) . . . . would make Larry Flynt say "Geez, want a job?"

[CurtEastPoint]

1. Dale (AKA Sodomy Expert) is an attorney. Figures.

[HughBeaumont]

3. One that doesn't respect legal precedents, apparently.

Yeah, let's just not recognize due human rights because of weird hangups . . . or fap fantasies . . . with what two people do in a bedroom.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. Wait, what? I'm in Ohio, and I bloody well didn't vote against gay folks getting to marry.

Unless I'm missing something, it was the legislature, made lopsidedly Republican by gerrymandering, in Ohio that made that call, not the voters.

4. Isn't it amazing

how these people visualize gay men (you hardly ever hear or read their visualizations of lesbians) having sex and they are even able to describe in full detail what they think it is like? I wonder how many hours these people sit around thinking about it. If I am personally repulsed by something I tend to put it out of my mind and not even think about it, yet these people go out of their way to explain in detail what it must be like. It truly boggles the mind.

[HughBeaumont]

5. To use it as an excuse to deny due human rights is even more disturbing.

But hey, remember that it's US that have the "poor moral compass".

Whack-jobs, and they get to decide the nation's direction. Sad.

[tymorial]

7. Oh they visual lesbians... All the damned time.

I can't speak for the women but I would venture to guess that many of the str8 dudes who are outraged over gay marriage have internet explorer histories full of girl on girl action.

[tymorial]

6. The common thread in all of these ridiculous comments

They fail to recognize that the 1st amendment both grants them the individual freedom to practice their religion and prevents them from pushing their beliefs onto others. The establishment clause allows you to have that cake but it snatches it off the table before you are able to eat it.

The last one made me laugh out loud. When people are engaging in sex, is anyone actually considering dignity?

8. Can anyone confirm this?

"Jesus confirmed in the Gospels marriage was to be modeled after Adam and Eve — one man and one woman."

It's been over 40 years since I read that book but I don't recall Jesus ever saying anything like this.
Can anyone confirm this?

[HughBeaumont]

9. I'm thinking you won't find such a specific phrase in the Bible PERIOD.

Let alone Magic Jesus affirming it.
