Thats not what im trying to convey at all.I dont think im superior to anyone else.All im saying is before you think you know everything about what we stand for and what we believe you should dig a little futher.I said they're misguided in how they view our denomination.

so thus, since we have never visited the pentecostal church, we don't know what a christian is...wow
I think you know what a christian is.Someone who read the bible all the time and believe that theres a God.The problem is is that so many church's that claim to be christian dont live the lyfestyle.They teach that going to church every Sunday and hearing a long sermon will get you to heaven when if you read the bible it will says it does not.Often times you'll see alot of pastor drunk in bars and clubs when thats not what christianity is.

Promotes homosexuality? What, do they think that children will say "Hey! Being gay is cool! Mommy, I want to be gay too!".Besides, I am an atheist, so I don't give an flying f*** what the Christians say.
Dr Dobson you started the controversy didnt start it because of content in the cartoons.He didnt even recall watching the cartoons for more than two minutes.He said there was something in the website that promoted homesexuality.
It's not really a matter of religion but more of a argument of morality.That this stuff shouldnt be promoted to kids at such a younge age.If anything they should learn about this stuff by there parents.Homosexuality shouldnt be considered a norm in society.This nation wasnt founded on these immoral ways of life.This country was founded on the bible and our four fathers where christians who actually had morals and didnt try to make out country more like a modern day Sodom and Gomora.

You have your right to your opinions. I absolutely agree that children should be taught about homosexuality when they actually begin to have a sexuality.
However your conception of homosexuality is misplaced. How can something be a sin when it is not chosen but rather instilled. A sin is something you choose to do. No one chooses to be a homosexual. Homosexuality isn't a "way of life". It's simply an element of life. Homosexuality does not determine someone's personality, likes, dislikes, religion, career or anything else for that matter. It just determines who he or she falls in love with. Please read up on homosexuality from viable sources. Least to say, your views on homosexuality as immoral and evil is becoming more and more outdated.
I believ homosexuality is corrupt and evil.I believe it does have to do with there religon because if God intended for sane sex marriages then he would have made Adam have sex with another man to set a precedent for the future.I agree homesexuality is becoming a way of lifw which is sad.Now more people are ok with same sex couples and think of it as "normal" when really it is far from that.I dont think homosexuality is something that cant be prevented and something that just happens.Thats just excuse provided the media to make homoseuality acceptable in society and they've succeeded.

What motivation would "the media" have for promoting homosexuality or if you prefer, how does "the media" benefit in any way from promoting homosexuality as normal?
Had you bothered to read any of the previous posts in this thread, you would have seen that scientists at the University of Illinois Chicago have identified that homosexuality is caused by certain gene combinations on chromosomes 7, 8, and 10.
You are truly a world-class fool.

Had you bothered to read any of the previous posts in this thread, you would have seen that scientists at the University of Illinois Chicago have identified that homosexuality is caused by certain gene combinations on chromosomes 7, 8, and 10:
Article by Steph SmithChicago, Illinois - In the first-ever study combing the entire human genome for genetic determinants of male sexual orientation, a University of Illinois at Chicago researcher has identified several areas that appear to influence whether a man is straight or gay.
UIC's Brian Mustanski, working with colleagues at the National Institutes of Health, found stretches of DNA that appeared to be linked to sexual orientation on three different chromosomes in the nucleus of cells of the human male.
"There is no one 'gay' gene," said Mustanski, a psychologist in the UIC department of psychiatry and lead author of the study. "Sexual orientation is a complex trait, so it's not surprising that we found several DNA regions involved in its expression."
His research will be published in the March issue of the biomedical journal Human Genetics.
The genomes of 456 men from 146 families with two or more gay brothers were analyzed.
While earlier studies had focused solely on the X chromosome, one of the two sex chromosomes, the present study examined all 22 pairs of non-sex chromosomes in addition to the X chromosome. The other sex chromosome, called Y, was not explored because it is not believed to contain many genes.
Identical stretches of DNA on three chromosomes -- chromosomes 7, 8 and 10 -- were found to be shared in about 60 percent of the gay brothers in the study, compared to less than 50 percent expected by chance. The region on chromosome 10 correlated with sexual orientation only if it was inherited from the mother.
"Our study helps to establish that genes play an important role in determining whether a man is gay or heterosexual," said Mustanski. "The next steps will be to see if these findings can be confirmed and to identify the particular genes within these newly discovered chromosomal sequences that are linked to sexual orientation."
The University of California at San Diego, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of California at Los Angeles were also involved in the study which was supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

This is your opinion. However this not based on any facts nor any data. Just your own predjudice and assumptions. Like I said before please read up on homosexuality. You clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. It's really quite sad. I pity you.
