&quot;Ignorance truly is bliss, isn’t it? I’m sorry, but the “gay agenda” is being shoved down mine and my children’s throats. I’m simply for the family as we used to know it in this country. I hate no one, I simply don’t want it forced upon me. And it will not, not now nor ever, be forced upon or taught to my children. I’m so sick of democratic doublespeak.&quot; 

According to you “people”, if i take a stand against something (because of my Christian faith), it should be called hatred? But if you do it, it’s quite another matter. I’m not shoving my beliefs down your throat. If you asked me not to teach your children Christianity in a public school system, i completely respect that. So why should i have to sit back and watch someone teach my children something that i absolutely take a stand against? Oh, that’s right. Because we’re “dumb” and don’t know any better. wouldn’t the world be a better place if your beliefs were the only one’s that mattered?

&lt;strong&gt;Wow, how incredibly silly of you to think that the push &quot;equal rights&quot; somehow consititues the &quot;gay agenda&quot;.

I&#039;VE been pretty darned sick of having the &quot;straight agenda&quot; shoved down my throat, screamed in my ears, and slapped in my face 24/7 for my entire life!  Why don&#039;t you b!tc# about THAT agenda for once in your life?

Or is that asking too much of you to treat heterosexuals the exact same way you apparantly treat gays?&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>But hey, McDonalds has a right to support what it believes, as long as it aligns with what you all believe. If it were promoting Christianity, wouldn&#039;t it be another matter to you though? Lol.</description>

		<description>I signed that &quot;silly, offensive&quot; petition against mcdonald&#039;s. And guess what? So did many, many, many of my &quot;radical right winged&quot; christian friends. And I&#039;m forwarding my email with the petition to all of my other &quot;silly&quot; Christian friends, who in turn are forwarding it to all of their christian friends, and before you know it? I hope mcdonalds is soon history, just as starbucks will be!

		<description>Then the LORD said to me, &quot;The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. 
I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. 
They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.&quot;
- Jeremiah 14:13

It&#039;s hubris to claim to tell others how they should lead their lives, but this hasn&#039;t stopped any of the ultra-radical right-whining &quot;c&quot;hristians who claim to be better than everyone else becase they somehow understand which verses of the Bible to pick &amp; choose to follow.

It&#039;s the inconvenient verses that don&#039;t support their radical agenda to force everyone to live by their interpretation of the Bible.  It&#039;s sad that the self-proclaimed &quot;c&quot;hristians are neither Christian nor right.</description>

		<description>Greetings Gods creation:  
  being created by God and knowing God are two different matters.  God is love and those who embrace His love are humbled by His grace. Often people say its not a choice I was born this way. A person who chooses at one point to be a drunl, chooses his influence. A person chooses to kill and how to do it. Will one except them saying I was born this way? Yet indeed people are borm into iniquity. People are born to sin. Homosexuality is just one of the many sins that manifest in unrepent sinners. That&#039;s why Jesus said one must be born again. Like a butter fly from a cacoon. A thief doesn&#039;t like when the light shines upon them. Nor do the wicked like true Christains... and oh  how they hate when Christians speak. This very page validates Gods word. As long before it existed Gods word revealed people who refuse to repent would scoff Jesus and Gods word as you all do...THERE IS HOPE. AS FOR MANY YEARS I TOO REJECTED JESUS FOR MY OWN LIFE OF SIN.God knows some among you by Gods grace shall see why Sodom was so wicked in His sight and see how corp America play people like a violen. Because a cause is popular doesn&#039;t make it true. it was popular in the past to belive the world was flat. Gods word revealed the world was a sphere long before man discovered wow its not flat. Neither liberal nor democrat Jesus trancends the unrighteous and self righteous partys!</description>

		<description>It is not the sinner we are against.  It is the sin.  I have several family members who are gay or lesbian and I love them very much and would help them any way I could within my means; however, the lifestyle of the gay and lesbian is different...period!!!  If you are going to call an organization a family organization then it is not the gay and lesbian lifestyle.  Nature itself teaches male to female and female to male...and this is without putting God into the mix...so with that said, it&#039;s not a matter of diversity or racism.  It is a matter of what is natural or not.  You can be angry with us Christians, but you are as intolerant as we are and it&#039;s time we draw the line and stand up for our rights as well.  You want your organizations to gain revenues and popularity then you build them for yourselves...our organizations should remain neutral and out of yours. If not then we simply do not support them...you do.  So be angry, but you&#039;re just as prejudiced and just as intolerant as we.  And the big difference between us Christians and you is we will still love you no matter what you do to us because we are commanded to do so by our Lord...and it is He who will take vengeance on you and your supporting organizations, not us.</description>

If Wildmon and his holier-than-thou minions WEREN’T focusing their energies on de-homo-izing the fast food industry, imagine what they MIGHT be doing instead. They could be wasting time on frivolous and silly pursuits like . . . oh I don&#039;t know . . . Feeding the hungry? Clothing the poor? Things that the old-school, fuddy-duddy Christians used to do when I was a kid. Good on ya, Rev! And remember—Get to the polls in November and defeat that swishy Mayor MacCheese!</description>

		<description>This is the first time that I have ever visited this site. I must say that I am shocked at the level of depravity that has been posted here. Like it or not there are such things as right and wrong, absolutes and values. Those who disagree with this, well you are disagreeing with what the Bilble has to say. The Bible is the living word of God. I do have friends that are homosexual and I do have a brother that is homosexual. My brother has AIDS as a direct result of the homosexual lifestyle that he chose to live. I can say that I do not agree or approve of this type of behavior. What people choose to do in their personal life is a personal choice. However they do not need to flaunt it in public. They also need to understand what you sow you will reap. You will reap more than what you have sown. The LORD loves the sinner but he HATES the sin. GOD is HOLY and he cannot except sin in any manner. Our society today tries to force our beliefs on GOD and expects him to accept us with our sin. He cannot and will not. He does love us, that is why his son Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life so that he could pay the price for our sins. Jesus was the only sacrifice that could satisfy GOD&#039;s holiness for payment of sin. GOD loves us so much that he satisfied his own requirement for the payment of sin by subjecting his own son to the brutality and torture of the cross. I suggest all of you read Galatians chapter 5 vs 19-21 and Romans chapter 1 vs 18-32.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the first time that I have ever visited this site. I must say that I am shocked at the level of depravity that has been posted here. Like it or not there are such things as right and wrong, absolutes and values. Those who disagree with this, well you are disagreeing with what the Bilble has to say. The Bible is the living word of God. I do have friends that are homosexual and I do have a brother that is homosexual. My brother has AIDS as a direct result of the homosexual lifestyle that he chose to live. I can say that I do not agree or approve of this type of behavior. What people choose to do in their personal life is a personal choice. However they do not need to flaunt it in public. They also need to understand what you sow you will reap. You will reap more than what you have sown. The LORD loves the sinner but he HATES the sin. GOD is HOLY and he cannot except sin in any manner.

		<description>McDonald&#039;s should not have pulled the ad.  Those who were offended are obviously homophobic and insecure with their own sexuality.  McDonald&#039;s could be a leader, instead of &quot;turning tail and running&quot; from a proud turning point in our society.  I hope McDonald&#039;s is hurt in revenue by pulling this add.  Address your insecurities, McDonald&#039;s.  Not all of us are as insecure as you are.  Place the ad back on TV.  Take a stand!!  Why be so cowardly?!</description>

		<description>As a man of the cloth, I know, and I truly believe, the AFA is pushing their own agenda on the many children of god.   By doing so, they are the practicing sinners, because first of all; Jesus died for all of our sins, period! The AFA has incorrectly translated the bible to meet their personal own agenda.  Being LGBTQ, is not a learned culture, it is a born cultural.  Being a loving person that does as Jesus would do, forgiving ALL for ALL of their sins, including the high rate of divorce, that can be directly linked to GLBTQ individuals trying to please the misguided, which is usually family, and only playing the part as a heterosexual, when in all honesty, they are not heterosexual.  When they finally realize, they have been living a lie, and they are truly honest with themselves and their maker, (god) they realize they were this way since birth and suppressing their true being, is the sin they no longer want to practice.  If people like the AFA, would practice what they teach, forgiveness, love and family values, and they would just open their own eyes, to see they are being hypocrites and hate mongrels, that is the sin being committed.  Again, Jesus died for our sins, so if being GLBTQ is a sin, which it is not, get off your high horse and forgive those who you think are sinning. Which is only one, of many things that Jesus would want them to do, would be to Stop harassments, ridicules, defamatory statements, and most of all, taking the book of God, which is about love, light and well being, and stop translating it to meet their agenda.  While they are asking for forgiveness, they should include their other sin’s, which is demanding their members to practice hate as a family value.  I pray you will see your sins, until then, all we can do is continue to write, pray, advocate and be a GLBTQ child of god! A special prayer goes out for GLBTQ individuals who have been hurt from hate and the AFA.  I do pray also for ALL GLBTQ, to please try and find forgiveness in your hearts, and be the good child of god..  Blessings to all!
