You are an organization made up of people who should be concerned with their own lives and perceived sins instead of butting into the lives of other people who only want equality, fairness and respect.
Families come in all different shapes and sizes. All that matters is that a family is held together with love. All anyone can see from members of your organization is the hate you feel towards people who have done you no harm.
Mind your own business and get your own families in order. Leave everyone else alone.

You guys might try reading ALL of the Bible sometime. You seem to constantly forget what Jesus ACTUALLY taught. Ever heard of LOVE?

Will Tony Perkins finally come out? Seriously, as a recovering Southern Baptist, I find nothing Christlike in any of you, what you do or who you represent.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees separation of church and state, freedom of religion and freedom FROM religion, but you nutheads don’t understand that.
It also says “All men are created equal.” It DOESN’T say, “Except for gays and lesbians.” You nutheads don’t get that either.
The Bible says, “Let he that is without sin cast the first stone.” You nutheads don’t understand that, EITHER.

I ended up filling out a complete survey on the FRC. If you REALLY want to mess with them, when it asks you where you stand politically select moderate or conservative and then emphasize your support in poverty, climate change and unemployment and how you care very little about abortion or gay rights.
Why? They do not really care about a liberal thinks, but if we got enough ‘moderates’ and ‘conservatives’ taking the survey and telling them to focus more on fighting poverty and climate change, well it might not be such a bad thing,,,

Randy, in my Bible, the word homosexuality does not exist for one thing. It seems to have crept in since about oh, 1980 and the rise of the Moral Majority.
For another thing, this is not a religious issue in the direct sense. It is a true cultural war between those on one side who seek to impose a narrow, arbitrary and dangerous ideologically view on others and on the other side, those who wish to love the person they are attracted too and their growing band of rationalist supporters who recognise that religion and the law is an incendiary combination.

Jerry, I’m sure you meant the Declaration which says;
“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 are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”
Note that Jefferson states that the rights come from the Creator.

Bob, Jefferson did say that. But whom he means by the Creator and whom a lot of other people believed is the creator were/are not necessarily the same person.
moreover, even assuming a creator actually exists, there is no guarantee that it is the christian or the jewish God, and not an imagining of Koschei the Deathless.

Ben, I believe that Jefferson was a Deist, not a Christian and he did recognize that human rights come from a greater authority.

Done and done! I identified myself as a Conservative. I almost vomited a little bit when I clicked on that. ;-)
