Since the theme of the week is The Bullies Are The Real Victims, I must ask you, dear Bam Bam Barber — are we bullying God?
Recently it dawned on me that so-called “same-sex marriage,” to use the term “marriage” isn’t even appropriate. It’s not same-sex marriage, it’s mock marriage because it’s not real marriage, it’s a mock marriage. And same-sex marriage and the attacks on marriage mock God and his design for the institution of marriage.
And God will not be mocked, Shawn, and as we turn our face from God, relative to marriage and our larger culture on a number of these issues of morality and sexual morality, why should be we surprised when God turns his face from us?
So if God is “abandoning” this nation or whatever, at least the wingnut version of God, why don’t people like Bam Bam go to a country that their version of God hasn’t abandoned? Just a question.
Anyway, here’s the video, where you can watch Matt Barber attempt to run away from the real world in real time:
He is right, that god will not be mocked, because there is no reason to believe any such god exists. Thank goodness.
I imagine that god has more important things to care about than Bam Bam’s opinion.
If anyone’s mocking God, it’s the people who use their “faith” as an excuse to behave like a–holes.
How can you mock that which does not exist? People like Barber elevate themselves by using the god smokescreen, and take it as a personal slight that you’re not following their every whim. So yes, Barber, we mock you and those like you. That’s what REALLY enrages you, doesn’t it?
Does this mean my “mock marriage” to Joanie when we were about 10 was an all out attack on God?
I figger he/she/it is big enough – you know, bein’ god ‘n’ all- that he/she/it can handle it.
If any god(dess) has a problem with my marriage let that god(dess) come and tell me him/herself. I’m sick of self-appointed spokespeople thinking they have the right to bully me on behalf of said mythical beings.
He only came up with this line just now?
How slow is he?
ALL (not some, all) of America’s established experts on family, mental health and child health agree that America would benefit if same-sex couples could have civil marriage to protect their families. Here is why:
The National Library of Medicine scientific research publications all confirm that sexual orientation is natural, biologically induced in the first trimester of pregnancy, morally neutral, immutable, neither contagious nor learned, bearing no relation to an individual’s ability to form deep and lasting relationships, to parent children, to work, or to contribute to society.
Sexual orientation and gender identity are like handedness: biological, unchangeable, innocent. We used to think left-handed was evil, as in “sinister” which comes from Latin for “left”, force lefties to use their right hand, even though they never really changed handedness.
Research reveals variable hormonal levels in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy permanently affect child’s neural circuitry for sexual orientation and gender identity to express on a spectrum between straight and gay, same or opposite gender.
A little extra testosterone secreted from the adrenals during early pregnancy affects the baby girls’ brains causing nearly half to be lesbian, a tenth to be transgender. Also, a girl twin baby simply sharing the womb with a boy co-twin, in which some of his testosterone from his amniotic fluid gets into her blood, causes about one fifth of girl co-twins to be lesbian. These girls also have the bone structure and physical coordination of boys, so they are good in sports, and thus the stereotype.
The opposite is also true: a bit less testosterone than usual in a boy’s blood during early pregnancy can make him light in the loafers or transgender. If a boy’s mother has delivered many older brothers before him, which caused her to make blocking antibody to their male proteins, then the youngest brother receives lower levels of testosterone in his blood, resulting in about one fifth of boys with many older brothers being gay. These boys have the physiology and verbal skills and excel in language and visual arts, slightly more like girls, and thus the stereotype.
ost homosexuals and most heterosexuals will say that they had no choice to be how they are because they were born on the far ends of the spectrum. They firmly claim they were “born that way.” But, some straight and gay folks feel it WAS and IS definitely a choice for them because they were born closer to the middle of the biological spectrum between straight and gay: they are bisexual. Their orientations don’t change from straight to gay, they simply have brain wiring that attracts them to both. All orientation is hard-wired prenatally and none can change it. It is all biological and innocent, and not contagious or changeable.
Everybody has an opinion about same-sex marriage, but what does the scientific research reveal about the health and welfare of children and families in same-sex marriages?????
Rather than make gay rights a popularity contest, lets ask America’s best experts on family, mental health and children what the research shows is best for all American families. From the American Psychological Association: homosexuality is a normal sexual orientation; homosexual relationships are normal relationships.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, National Association of Social Workers, Child Welfare League of America, North American Council on Adoptable Children have endorsed civil marriage/adoption for same-sex couples because marriage strengthens mental, physical health and longevity of couples, and having two parents (of any gender) provides greater health, legal/financial security for children. Research confirms that children develop perfectly normally. Even the American Academy of Anthropology has issued a policy statement that says access to civil marriage by same-sex couples will not harm our social order. Visit the websites of these non-partisan, national professional and certifying associations for their policy statements.
If we don’t listen to professional experts on national family health and welfare, then we are simply voting our religious beliefs or personal bias into state and federal laws, and harming the families of gay and lesbian couples, especially those with children.
In the grand scheme of heavenly/earthly/human things, is it really possible that God, himself, would deign to think like his human creations and get bent out of shape over two men or women loving each other and wanting to commit to a legal, socially recognized relationship? Really? In the whole of the cosmos, God has nothing better to fret about? Is He really so much a heavenly version of man? Of all things, you aspire to copy the behavior of humans? What kind of God is that?
Actually, when you listen to these losers, God thinks, acts, wants, demands, and needs that they themselves want, demand, etc. Funny. Seems like God was created in the image of man and not the other way around.
Thanks for your support Kate, but ‘light in the loafers’ ?!?! Come on.
I guess Barby boy doesn’t think that consuming 10,000 calories a day while children go hungry in this country is *not* mocking God!?
