This is also a very ignorant statement. Many atheists would argue that christianity is immoral. Many people would argue that smoking and drinking is immoral, yet that is legal.

Years ago, it was believed that black people were unclean. They were given rights even though the vast majority of people were not for black’s rights. Minorities are to be protected from the majority. Gay marriage does not affect anyone but same sex couples. This can be seen in all countries where gay marriage has already been legal, such as Canada. If you don’t like gay marriage, then don’t get one. Simple as that.

That’s a highly illogical point. I don’t see how gay marriage can affect you or discriminate against you unless you are forced to be in one – much like forcing a gay man to be in a marriage with a woman, something that you seem to be advocating.

Because they’re lunatics?

Oh, and it’s “christians”, NOT “Christians”. Using a capital “C” is like giving them some special title of authority.

They ARE special, but like Corky from “Life Goes On”.

1) keep his comments on-topic
2) stop distorting his cited sources
3) document in detail how those sources substantiate his claims

This trolling is unacceptable, and I’m conditionally banning Danielg until he demonstrates an ability to behave.

Apparently, only people who enjoy saying “I told you so” get into heaven.

Scientific theories explain the facts. They make testable, quantifiable, precise predictions. We know evolution is fact, not because of a book written 150 years ago, but because of the overwhelming evidence from the fossil record, the DNA record (in particular, junk DNA), anthropology, the geological record. Why not speak to people who have the facts, like paleontologists, instead of fanatics like AiG, whose aim is simply to shore up your beliefs? Or visit a museum. If a more plausible explanation for the origins of life and the cosmos comes along, I will accept it. Would you?

As a Christian, you no doubt see the virtue in being humble. Yet, you not only claim to know there is a mind at work in the universe, you know exactly who is responsible – who has ‘designed’ the HIV virus. How incredibly arrogant. (I suggest you look at this incidentally: http://endogenousretrovirus.blogspot.com/2007/11/hello-again-michael-behe.html ). If you’re going to claim intelligent design for HIV, well let’s claim it for ebola, or river blindness, caused by worms that can only survive by eating away the human eye; or the digger wasp whose larvae eat their paralysed prey alive from the inside.

As for the gay issue – well, it’s your job to prove it’s a moral issue, and best of luck to you, because the evidence is that gay people are just as likely to be morally upstanding as straight people. You post links to third-rate research, mostly from hard-line religious people – and let’s face it, that’s what NARTH are; all they have done is show that changing sexuality is very improbable, and most importantly, undesirable.

You’re wrong about the age of the earth (by a factor of nearly a million)- why can’t you be adult and admit you are equally clueless about sexuality, especially when all scientific opinion is against you? Do you have a reason for any of your beliefs, or is it just based on what you were brought up to believe?
