I think it is wonderful that we FINALLY live in a culture in which gays can have a pride parade without fear of retribution. That said, I want to address a couple of things in GoneAway's post. What you have posted is riddled with logically fallacious argument. By the same reasoning you use--that some gays do the thing with gerbils, therefore their culture is an abomination--one can argue that because of some of the atrocities committed in the name of Christ, for example the torture chambers of the Inquisition, that Christianity is an abomination which should not be forced upon society. This is an example of the straw man fallacy, as well as the fallacy of composition, for you 1) caricature your opponent in order to make him easier to attack; and 2) extrapolate from properties of the parts of a thing, e.g. the gerbil, to the character of the whole of a thing-- this does not follow. I would like to think that there are some Christians in the world who are capable of reasoning logically, and who are able to be tolerant as well; in fact I know some, and they are well represented on RIA. How a person who professes to follow the God of Love could be so full of implacable hate I find utterly incomprehensible, but history provides plenty of precedents for people like you--so I don't write this for you, but for any one else who may read this. You seem to have completely missed the point of the New Testament. May your God forgive you for your appalling hatred.
