Elton John wants religion banned

He seems to have trouble getting through to you. He did leave a message:
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.(Rom 1:24-28)
My desire is simply for you to have eternal life: to be rid of your condemnation and shame rather than rationalize it away or conceal it.

Cross- breeding and mutation that lead to a uneque reproducability from pairing with the same (new) species are both evolution. If that is not the case it is not.

Um - your mouth.
I read it again. You stated that you despise religion. And as one reads your posts your hatred seems to be oriented to the God who revealed himself in the Bible. I know it isn't trendy to say hate but it is OK with me for you to say it. You are a hater.
Your difficulty seems to stem with the condemnation scripture has for you. I did see that you are a homosexual. You know that is an abomination and against the nature itself.
You are not condemned because you have sinned in an aweful manner. We all have sinned and can never measure up.
So I am not condemning you, you are condemned on your own. You sin because you are a sinner like everyone else.
Your opinions in these forums are attempts to rationalize this away and even find others to support you in your thinking. You do not know the God of the bible - you have made one up to meet your desires. This is termed: idol.
In all your reading you might look at this one part again. Jesus did not arrive here to condemn you. He did not come to provide you a better example. He came to substitute Himself in your/our/my place so that we would not have to be punished and see separation from God.
You can believe this today for the forgiveness of sin. Or you can continue to try to justify yourself. He can take your shame, he took on all rejection and shame as He hung on the cross.

Guard against those men who make a great noise about religion, in choosing
representatives. It is electioneering. If they knew the nature and worth of religion,
they would not debauch it to such shameful purposes. If pure religion is the criterion
to denominate candidates, those who make a noise about it must be rejected;
for their wrangle about it, proves that they are void of it."
--Rev. John Leland, July 4th 1802.
(Leland was a leader of the Virginia Baptists and one of the
early champions of religious liberty in America.)
"Our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions,
more than on our opinions in physics and geometry....The legitimate powers of
government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me
no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither
picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
--Thomas Jefferson
TAX ALL THESE CULTS and TAX THEM RETROACTIVELY!
ESPECIALLY THE CULTS THAT ATTEMPT TO HIDE THEIR CRIMES OF CHILD RAPE

to both your posts
If a cross breed produces a definably different and reproducable creature its DNA has altered permanently it is neither that of either of the original. Thet is exactly the same process as a mutation of the DNA, if that mutation is permanently reproduceable.
Both are new creatures that have evolved, just the mechanism was different. If however, given time, the creatures revert to original forms then that would not be evolution.

Talked to a nephew last night and asked him about IMing. He told me I would still be out of date, that every one was text messageing now.
They all think I am hopelessly behind the times. LOL
I will see more over the holidays. Maybe the neices can show me. They are a little more tolerant. LOL
