   Such baloney, full of distortions & un-Christian nonsense. But then I would expect nothing less from an organization that lives in a fantasy dreamed up in the past and exists as a totally irrelevant fashion in the 21st century. No wonder no one believes this any more..

   Mike, after a long search myself, what has made me realize that the Christian faith is the "correct" faith as you put it, is that of all the other faith traditions, only Christianity, through Jesus Christ, has claimed to be God, the creator. No other faith tradition makes that claim, not even close. Most all other faith traditions have confined themselves to a country, involve mostly the worship of self or are dying.

   Tafur: Your quotes are conflicting. I must conclude you are making a quote book? Because not only are the quotes conflicting, so are are their sources. Yet, I think that was your intention? What are Stats on single parent families? I know, you don't have to answer. I have seen, experiencing, lesbian families. And believe me, they only Create more of the same, thus depleting the surplus population. Natural? I don't think so. Common Sense 101? I don't think so.
   Blessings...

   As retired officer of our military I can tell you that I used to get thanked all the time when I was out in public in my uniform. It was humbling, however, after a period of time, I began responding with how you should thank those who sacrifice so much. If you go no where beyond this sight with your comments and support to those values that have made America the great beacon of hope, than words are cheap. Telling someone thank you just because they wear a uniform is to easy, the sacrifice must be mutual. If you are unwilling to uphold your beliefs in the idea that there is a Creator, from which come our freedoms and rights, than keep your thank you's to your self, they are only so much platitude.
   
   In all my time away from home, family, in all my time enduring unbearable heat and discomfort, in all my time living the harsh realities of war, I often found myself wondering if there was anyone at home defending the home front. If we as Catholic American's are indifferent to the freedoms granted by God, children's birthdays missed, anniversaries away from home, and all the blood spilled was nothing more than a fools errand.
   
   I implore you, to get off your butt's, stop arguing back and forth with people on the web who will never change their minds, it is nothing more than a distraction, a diversion. In your parish right now are people who despite growing up Catholic, are uncertain of the truth, even some pastors. Engage them, if you are afraid you might not know how to defend the Truth, then arm yourselves. Seek to know and understand the Truth, it is timeless. If evil were knocking on your door, attempting to get into your home and threaten your family, would you sit back and wait for him to enter? Or, would you pick up anything, seek anything that you could use to defend home. Well, your home is under attack, it is time to take action.
   
   Seek the Truth, know the Truth, defend the Truth. In the face of what seems overwhelming odds, stand firm, be not afraid.

   Just a correction:
   
   "When men cease to believe in God, they believe in anything" was Dostoevsky, not Lenin.

   Eddie,
   I am not sure where Diane obtained her information, but here would be a good start:
   
   
   "The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party". - Scott Lively & Kevin Abrams. (2002).

   Larry, this forum is slow, so I ask you, please, to address my words. And perhaps you eventually did Larry, but like a busy signal instead of a dial tone, I stopped reading your post after your first sentence to me. Of what possible intellectual value does such an opening statement have to do with a discussion about the ideas at hand? You aren't the only one who does this here. It's peculiar. Virtually everyone who has engaged me over the last few weeks I've been here is seemingly unable to address typed sentences but is, rather, interested in soothsaying! Perhaps I'll finish reading your post to me later as I don't think I'm obligated in the TOU, to immediately respond to all who apparently want to read my astrological chart. I hope you understand. -Cheers! ~Mike (OK LARRY, I decided to finish reading your post before hitting send, you are making the case for the slippery slope argument, fair enough). It's a legitimate concern, one I don't share, but legitimate. It's ironic, some of the couplings you are concerned about were condoned in your Old Testament! I have to ask, however, there are religions that do not discriminate against same-sex marriage Larry. What makes your faith concerns correct and the other faiths who accept same sex marriages as being wrong? Cheers again! ~Mike

    Diane,
    
    Your statement that the Nazi SSA was mainly composed of homosexuals was meant as satire right? If not, can you post where you got this information from?
    
    Thanks,
