Like the Declaration of Independence (We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it...) some things should be obvious to every thinking man. And it should be possible to allow those things to go without saying. But, sadly, it is not. Thank you Dr. Adams for saying them for us - with simple...

I agree with Ann. But let me set the record straight on one thing. I am a government employee (county government in Texas). I have never been within a long rifle shot of a six-figure salary. I have had money deducted from every paycheck to invest in a retirement plan ... just like when I worked in the private sector. I don't want a free ride. I have worked for what I have. I'm just saying.

Will - I too believe that homosexuality is not natural, but a choice. But, suppose for the sake of argument that it IS natural. God has still said that sexual activity outside of a traditional marriage is sin. The fact that I am heterosexual and another is homosexual gives neither of us the right to disobey God's law.

As usual, I really appreciate the satire. I want to be different. I do not want to have any of my core groups (WASP, basically) enshrined with a special month. I will let the self-identified victims have that privilege.

I think that this syndrome is the result of the effort by educators in the USA to remove objective truth from society. If there is no absolute right and wrong, then the highest authority one can have is how one personally feels about the subject. This also enforces arrogance (the opposite of humility). The answer is to approach all problems from the position of Absolute Truth. And Absolute Truth comes only from God.

First, let me say that I am a staunch free-market conservative. Caveat emptor. That said, I believe that the dumbing-down of our youth has been done intentionally by people who want to make it easier to market to the next generation. Shame on us for accepting this result from our schools.

"It's because of these biological factors that homosexuality has long been determined to be unchangable (sic)...". This assertion is demonstrably false. Homosexuals have changed and have testified to the fact.

I have to disagree with the idea that sexual sin has no real harmful effects. I cannot let the statement go unchallenged.

God does exist. I spoke to him this morning. I feel sorry for you that you did not, because He is a pretty cool guy to talk with.

I must respectfully disagree. Homosexuality - defined as engaging in homosexual acts - is not a disease, but rather a sin. Assuming (for the sake of argument - I don't think it is so) that the tendency towards homosexuality is genetic, the homosexual who commits sexual sin is no less (& no more) a sinner than a heterosexual who commits sexual sin is.
