<quoted text>Fine, keep your head stuffed up your rectum as long as you like. Why you like it is a mystery, but unlike your church, I believe you have the right to act on your own beliefs instead of having them imposed on you.

<quoted text>These are liberal or gay organizations that help the poor? Even if they are none of these has the organization, extra money to donate, the volunteers, or the facilities to step in and fill the shoes of Catholic Charities, the Salvation Army, or other major faith based groups when it comes to providing food, clothing, and shelter to the poor on a daily basis. A cupcake a day won't do it. I'm still waiting.

<quoted text>I think the Catholic Church should be allowed to continue to help the poor without having conditions imposed on it by fringe groups who care only for their own agenda, not the poor who will be hurt. This case is more positive proof that Gay community activists are selfish like teenagers, and suffer from tunnel vision.

<quoted text>So the catholic church, like a petulant child throwing a temper tantrum, would rather children starve or be homeless than follow the law?

You blame the church for standing by it's beliefs? I blame the state for passing laws that are appeasing certain groups and in turn harming these kids...

If the catholic church is willing to ruin hundreds of kids lives, because of their own unfounded beliefs about gays and lesbians, then they really shouldn't be in charge of these kinds of services anyways. Leave it to someone who actually cares about children enough not to limit their adoptive choices simply based on sexual orientation. And the fact that the church is holding the future of kids HOSTAGE just because of their own beliefs is very selfish and un-Christ like. I feel bad for the kids, but no church is going to blackmail me out of my rights by using children as their source. It's just sick and disgusting.

Funny that the Catholic Church goes against the teachings of Jesus...

Your replies shock the conscience in their foolishness. You *grasp at anything* to simply "oppose" people.

No. I just think it's ironic because just like you she has made clear her hatred of Christians. So I'm confused as to what she would know about the teachings of Jesus??

WOW, AGAIN: Your replies shock the conscience in their foolishness. You *grasp at anything* to simply "oppose" people.
She hates "christians" like you who *savagely attack gay people* and *lie about it* nonstop because they're soulless and evil. That's all.
That has *nothing* to do with her knowledge of biblical teaching. Fancy you thinking that someone must think as *YOU* do in order to *KNOW* anything. That's what you're *REALLY* saying here.

As someone who routinely express anti-Christian hate, of course you would be stunned.

No one "savagely attacks gay people".

People simply have a different point of view than you.

I have rarely ever seen any of these "lies" you keep posting about. Just because you can randomly invent aspersions do not make them true.

<quoted text>As the earliest of the Gospels was written generations after Jesus was supposed to have lived, what makes you think YOU know ANYTHING about the 'teachings of Jesus'?

See?
I wonder *if it's automatic that you omit from every post* exactly WHY people are doing this. Know what?
Let's get this out of the way and be *fantastically blunt* so you get the message and so *we both know you have no excuse* to keep presenting this in a one-sided and lying manner.
Ready?
The basic "christian" attitude as "codified" even into a "declaration" released recently -- the "Manhattan Declaration" -- states clearly and unequivocally that "christians" want gay people to have no equality in marriage.
The document says this flat-out. It has been called anti-gay and worse.
OK, now. Wrap your head around this.
So long as that is the "christian" attitude, I will criticize "christianity" and the "church" as much as I want,*and nothing you say will stop me in any way, shape or form*. You are defeated *from the get-go* in having *any influence ever* in my speaking out against prejudice, bigotry and evil.
If you cannot grasp that, you are *lying to the board* when you pretend it's happening *for no reason*. And every time you lie and someone calls you out or christianity out,*I DON'T GIVE A F*** IF THEY ARE CALLING YOU NAMES*, so please, stop *bothering* me with your bullshit and your *deliberate lies*.
I'm sick of them. I'm sick of you *lying* about it.
<quoted text>
Liar.
<quoted text>
Liar.
<quoted text>
Yeah, just because you *lie and lie* doesn't make anything you say true, nor is it *untrue* that you are constantly, endlessly lying.
But please, bring some of your precious "priests" and "bishops" onto the board and I'll tell them *EXACTLY* the same thing I tell you -- as I have done repeatedly on these boards.
