The Vatican has released its more elaborate gay-bashing edict that I've ever heard of. <snip gobble gobble>
Does this bother you because you are Catholic?

I'm just surprised that this did it. He's been far more offensive and hateful before. Like the thread where he says that we shouldn't support the lazy races.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

OK, kids...
Christianity believes that homosexuality is a sin (let's not get into the huge debate about how some churches are letting homosexualas into their dwindling ranks). The Pope is supposed to be the ultimate source on Catholicism (a part of Christianity). Now remembering that Christianity believes this is a sin, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK THEY WERE GOING TO SAY?

Re: Vatican releases 12 page anti-gay propaganda package
Bravo to both the Vatican and to President Bush for their seemingly joint and combined opposition to perversion! Although the President could not propose, certainly the Vatican could, the re-establishment of leper colonies for such vermin that spread perversion.
Camp David
I wish you were gay. Then you'd know what it would feel like to be hated for no reason by people like you. They aren't gay by choice. And perversion? Just because they're gay doesn't mean they're perverted. You sicken me.

I agreee, CD had a truly disgusting post. He can now refer to number 8.
Automated Responses
1. SAME whining from the SAME queens. If a DEMOCRAT did this, nobody would care...
2. Yet another Windows troll. BAN IT!
3. Yes Apple does bad things too. Nobody ever denied it.
4. Sorry that had to happen to you, but why are you complaining about it here? CALL THE COMPANY!!!
5. In order to have more Mac friendly games, you need to complain to the company about it, not to the MacAddict boards.
6. Yes Apple employs idiots for advertising. We see nothing but Switchers and rich celebrities using Macs. This purveys an image of Macs catering to "the rich."
7. No, Apple will never use an Intel processor. This would mean the death of Apple.
8. It's time to add one more person to my ignore list.
9. People wonder why I have you on my ignore list. What are they, BLIND???
10. I'm not liberal. I'm not conservative. I'm an equal opportunity stupidity reporter.
11. Something bad happened? IT MUST BE THE US's FAULT! It's the US's fault if someone pissed in your corn flakes! (note the obvious irony)
12. Quit trying to justify your addiction to porn.
13. Your post reads something like "blah blah blah, CHEAP LESBIAN JOKE!"
14. DOWNLOADING COPYRIGHTED MUSIC IS ILLEGAL!!! This of course is not to be confused with buying music at something like the iTunes Music Store and having to download it as a natural consequence of buying it.

To paraphrase Cher, the Pope should clean-up his own house before he starts questioning what other people do in theirs.
I think this statement pretty much sums it all up!
Why don't they just leave us alone really were not asking for anything special just equal rights!

Re: Vatican releases 12 page anti-gay propaganda package
No, the Vatican/Catholic Church is viciously gay-bashing. Decrying that is not "anti-Catholic hate."
I was baptized Catholic and raised as a Catholic. My mother is a devout Catholic. Don't bullsmurf me.
Christianity believes that homosexuality is a sin
Nonsense. And, any belief that can't be justified with proof has no weight in a world where reason, rather than superstition, governs.

Re: Vatican releases 12 page anti-gay propaganda package
God hates gays and lesbians almost as much as he apparently hates kids, if the Vatican is any indication.
yah, the vatican and the catholic church has some issues of their own and it's hard to listen to them when they can't even deal with their own incredibly messed up problems.

"Allowing children to be adopted by persons living in such unions would actually mean doing violence to these children, in the sense that their condition of dependency would be used to place them in an environment that is not conducive to their full human development,"
Not according to mental health experts due to the research that's been done. (See the American Psychological Association thread.) The Vatican is spreading obvious lies and coating them in religion.

Christianity believes that homosexuality is a sin (let's not get into the huge debate about how some churches are letting homosexualas into their dwindling ranks). The Pope is supposed to be the ultimate source on Catholicism (a part of Christianity). Now remembering that Christianity believes this is a sin, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK THEY WERE GOING TO SAY?
As a liberal Catholic, I am always disturbed by how much smarter and more openminded I am than everyone else involved with the Church. As far as I know, Christianity has 2 simple rules, reduced from the 600+ of Mosaic Law, by Jesus himself. "Love God above all things, and love your neighbor as yourself." I see nothing specific about how homosexuals can't live in a loving relationship. In fact, I think most of the problems come straight from Leviticus, where it says that homosexuality is an abomination. Frankly, I'd be more inclined to listen to the Son of God, than pay attention to 4000 yr old guidelines for how to live in a post-nomadic society where planting a tree on a Saturday was a sin punishable by death.
And with the whole Christian beliefs thing, I repeat something at Mass every Sunday, which pretty much sums up all the beliefs that I share with the church. It's called the Nicene Creed. In it, I'm sure, you will find nothing at all about homosexuality, or sexuality in general, for that matter.
So, to form all that I just said into a tangible opinion, I do not believe homosexuality is a sin, and therefore, I cannot see any negative moral effect on our society due to state-sanctioned non-gender-specific civil unions.
I don't know about anyone else, but I for one, am ready for a new pontiff.

It is my opinion that the Catholic church will address the absolution of divorcees well before they start absolving gays, and that is not going to happen any time soon.
I understand the want for equal rights, djmozilla, and I know it is frustrating to not be able to adopt or make medical decisions for a same-sex partner in certain states. Luckily, we are not governed by the church. Theirs is a private and separate organization that can pitch their dogma to politicians just as easily as any drug manufacturer.
If your politicians are easily swayed by church propaganda, then they are letting their religion get in the way of their politics, and should not be re-elected.

One can't elect or re-elect federal judges. They have lifetime appointments.
The Pryor case, and similar cases, are critical to the welfare of this country. Putting a someone who favors a fundamentalist theocracy over our Constitution in a lifetime appointment is very bad for the country. He whines that his nomination is being stalled by Democrats "because of his beliefs." Well, his beliefs matter!
