22. I do not understand why we attack anyone who is different just cause they are different.

But if we examine homosexuality we know there are over 1500 species of critters that participate in homosexual sex.
If we also accept that God (whatever God you believe in) is omnipotent then how do you explain all those gay critters.
Is the religious right saying God made some mistakes? Well it was a hectic six days.
I can understand a healthy dislike of russians and repukes. I just don't understand what threat gay folks present. WHAT are people afraid of?

My son came home from school one day complaining about how everything is gay with his peers. He was sick of hearing it and was going to end up rolling in the grass. So I figured I should talk to the Black female principal. I ran into a brick wall and gave up! She would not touch the issue. One of the shocks of my life. I thought about telling my boy to start calling all the teachers gay. My dear wife made it clear that was a bad idea.
