A Crazy World

I read on the internet that Bradley Fowler, a homosexual from Michigan, is suing two Christian publishers, Zondervan and Tyndale House, for 70 million dollars. Bradley claims they violated his constitutional rights and that caused him emotional distress by publishing versions of the Bible that call homosexuality a sin. I am so sick of hearing about gay rights. What about hetersexuals rights or Christian morals and values.? I was going to a female gynecologist who is married and has children and I found out she was a lesbian. It has caused me great emotional distress. It makes me sick to my stomach. Should I be able to sue or is it just the homos that have rights? So sick of hearing about gay rights. We will see just what rights they have when they stand before the Lord, the author of the Bible that condemns homosexuality.

" For all that read this article, i apologize for the comment made in the article on homosexuality. Christ would not be standing at the picket line with a sign that says GOD hates gays. Although the bible does condemn the act of homosexuality, he also condemns hating our brothers and sisters. For I was not put on this earth to judge anyone, but intead to do two things: Love God with all my heart and love others as myself. The Bible teaches that I cant I say "I love God" and yet hate my brother or sister! "

I don't care for what they do but that's none of my business. I don't wish to meet you because you haven't crossed my path in a normal way. I like to pull a lot of people's chains on these posts. That's mostly why I write. Boredom. Now you have a sweet life. Bi-Bye. "

I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant. ~Paul Newman "

" to Ill Be - You'll totally missed my point. If you're uncomfortable with a homo doctor of the same sex, should'nt young ladies be unconfortable with Dr's of the opposite sex? Hetro Dr's are human too, and MAY or may not "desire" their patients, right? "

" Well Bi-Stander I see you like things both ways. Let me write this a little slower for you. A homosexual doctor does like the same sex. That's why they are called homo-sexual. Yes a straight doctor likes the opposite sex. The first is disgusting and not normal. The second is beautiful and normal. And the patient should be informed as to which way their physician swings. As I said some people would prefer a straight physician. You know, someone normal. "

Bi Stander wrote on Aug 20, 2008 11:59 AM:

" to Well I'll Be:

First, note that I corrected the spelling, in your name. Secondly, you're saying that a homosexual doctor will "desire" a member of their own sex. What about a straight Doctor - do they "desire" a member of opposite sex? I know a couple of the "Lady Docs" in NI and they DO. Of Course, YOU probably don't have to worry about that. LOL Think about that........ LOL "

" Rachel is still busy with her daily cult hate blogging. She is imagining a doctor is gay because doctor touched her naughty place and she liked it. LOL! Middle-aged woman has no right to demand doctor or anyone tell her their sexuality. NOYB! This is America, land of the free and home of the gay. Want to rule a country and ban homosexuals, go join the Taliban or move to Iran, those religious dictators who mind everyones business. "

Well ill Be wrote on Aug 19, 2008 12:30 AM:

" Chuck no the reverse is not necessary. A straight Dr. need not advertise he's straight. It's a given. He/she has no proclivity to look at another of the same sex with any desire. The homosexual Dr. however has a desire to be with a person of the same sex. Which may cause someone to think, hold on just a minute I don't want this doctor to look at or handle my particulars. That's why homosexual doctors don't come out of the closet. If they come out they are absolutely penniless unless they move to California where Caliguy-lives. "

To Chuck wrote on Aug 18, 2008 5:30 PM:

" Nobody said anything about the homo physcian being interested in the patient. That's your business if you are not bothered by going to a homo doctor but some people are. People like you adjust to whatever the situation is. It doesn't matter if our nation is losing all their Godly morals. I am waiting for God to say enough is enough and deal with America just like Sodom & Gommorrah because that is just what we are becoming. You should be the one to be ashame for not standing up for the word of God. "

Chuck wrote on Aug 18, 2008 1:36 PM:

" If homosexual physicians should advertise their sexual preference to make the heterosexual patients informed and comfortable, shouldn't the reverse be applicable as well? MY point is, it should not matter, as long as each physician remains professional. I am heterosexual. However, I am not homophobic, as many here appear to be. As stated in my previous post, regardless of a physicians sexual preference, he/she is not interested in YOU the way you might think. They are professional, physicians all. It's shameful and arrogant of some people to assume otherwise. You may have the last word. Finis. "

Well ill Be wrote on Aug 18, 2008 1:26 AM:

" If a doctor is a homsexual I would think he or she should not hide the fact. There are some people that may not like their bodies examined by a person who lives an alternative lifestyle. But the point is you will not find a doctor willing to come out of the closet because they are afraid of the fact they will lose business, especially in the bible belt. I've been around for a long time and I haven't heard of any coming out. Have you? "

Chuck wrote on Aug 15, 2008 2:43 PM:

" To "Well Ill Be": Flip side of the coin: I suppose if a homosexual male was examined by a heterosexual male physician, that homosexual male would have grounds for a lawsuit. PREPOSTEROUS! Provided that the physician acts in a professional manner, it should not matter what their sexual preference is. Looks like you and many others here may be homophobe-like, and use dramatic rationalization to make an unsubstantiated point. Keep this in mind. Just because a physician is homosexual, doesn't mean that he/she has any ulterior interest in YOU. Their interest, be they heterosexual or homosexual, is typically professional. "

" It seems no matter what some people just doesn't see homosexuality as a sin and really don't care about the person committing the sin. Christians are supposed to have a burden for people they see living in sin. I know I do. I will never accept homosexuality as being right when GOD SAYS IT'S A SIN! A relationship between a husband and wife is beautiful even if they can't reproduce anymore. That does happen as you get older. "

Kim wrote on Aug 14, 2008 2:28 PM:

" I can honestly say during an exam I could care less about my doc's sexual preference.I just want it over & done with pronto.I am sorry that a Dr. being gay makes you uncomfortable. I never thought about that possibility before.I just see them as doctors doing their job.
If,as you say God created man & woman to reproduce is it a sin to have relations with your spouse after a hystorectomy or menopause have occured?
What if your husband had a vasectomy? These were not known occurances during the time the bible was written.Whats your take on this? "

Kim wrote on Aug 14, 2008 2:05 PM:

" Please don't feel sorry for me.I am a strong,moral,law abiding citizen,who is not blind to sin.The sin that you speak of is not my sin to bear,nor correct.You call it acceptance I call it"none of my business"I can not force another to live according to my guidelines.Religion may work for you and me,but we must realize that this is America.Our nation was founded with a profound belief of religious freedom.(Including non-believers)The main problem with the world today boils down to personal choice.God gives us free will& it is up to ourselves to do what is best for us &our families.

" Most of you wanting to legalize gay marriage must have all watched the same Lifetime movie, because you love to use the ER situation to gain sympathy. It's simply ridiculous. I've been in similar situations, and all the different hospitals were very understanding of my situation. As far as life insurance, you can name ANYONE as a beneficiary,so that argument is BS.Also, there is a certain amount of security that comes with knowing that a relationship gone bad will not result in court battles over community property,etc.Also, issues of inheritance can be resolved with a will.

" It may not bother you to have your plumbing checked by a homo but some people do have morals and values. I am positive that she is a lesbian. It's not gossip that I heard. I think having a husband and children is a way to hide your being gay, don't you think? No I am not suing because I don't go around suing people but I wanted to see how many people still have morals and I found out--Not too many. "

Well Ill Be wrote on Aug 13, 2008 12:37 AM:

" No kidding, a lesbian doctor was checking your plumbing? Sounds like a very good law suit. How did you find out her sexual preference? If she hid it from her clients then she is very much open for suit. That is of course if you can prove she is gay. "

" You know Kim I really feel sorry for you. To be blinded to sin and accept it is really sad. That's the reason our world is in the condition it's in because noone wants to take a stand. I'm glad there were some who realized we have battles to fight for the sake of righteousness. Not too many people with values and morals anymore. I believe God wants us to take a stand for His namesake. Taking a stand against something wrong is not hatred. God bless you. "

As far as the gynecologist goes, my dear, you can't catch it so don't be afraid of it.As I see it, it is no different than having a male heterosexual gynecologist. "

Lynn don't give up on every organized religion.They all have problems, but some are more loving& accepting than others. I think talking to God on your own is great.We all need to do what is best for us& our families. After all its about keeping the faith that counts. "

Kim wrote on Aug 8, 2008 11:35 AM:

" To answer this-I believe this strikes a cord in the gay community,because it has nothing to do with your religious beliefs.It has everything to do with affording people equal rights as a citizen of America.A christian that is righteous is a hard article to find.A righteous person is one who is morally upright,without guilt,& who is free of sin.I consider myself a christian, but I am not free from sin.(we are all sinners)The hatred you perceive is perhaps people being irritated by christians who come off as being hypocritical.

" That's something that's been known for eons. Where our Government donate to "The Arts", that’s one of the huge donations, and I don't care for my tax dollars going to the unwed mothers who have babies just to receive free money. Single moms because the dad died is altogether different. Our tax dollars shouldn't be spent on such foolishness. If people want to give their hard earned dollars to such a thing that's their business, but to be given from/through our government is infuriating. "

" How would Jesus have treated a gay person while He was here on earth? He was fair and gentle to all people even though they were not necessarily followers of Him. In fact the only people He really got ugly with were the religious Pharisees. His new commandment is "love God and love your neighbor as yourself" As Christians we don't have to agree with gay people or their lifestyles, but we are commanded to love them, and we should want to anyway.

The Bible even tells us how Christians ought to fight and even gives us the armor and weapons. Not once do I remember it saying to lay down to be walked on. "

I'm tired of seeing that wide yellow streak running across our country and it's flag. To be a Christian does not mean to lay down and be a door mat, quite the opposite actually. "
