    Natural reaction by someone whose lifestyle is criticized.

    The guy who is anti-bullying is a bully. What a hypocrite.

    He's right.

    Go ahead and read Leviticus, then follow it. Follow Paul's teaching about slaves. And the place of women. Do it, if you feel so strongly about gays and homosexuality. Live the word, as you want others to live the word. You won't, because you know your interpretation of it is wrong.

    The next time I meet a guy with the last name of Savage that I actually like will be the first time.

    Looks like a lot of folks are narrow-minded and like to see a group of people in our society shunned and ostracized.

    The notion that the Bible is wrong about one thing is proof that it is wrong about another thing is, well, wrong.

    His point is that it's used to justify one notion while many, many others are conveniently ignored (kosher) or fully accepted as being 100% wrong (slavery) And, in fact, the bible has been used to justify all sorts of crimes against humanity.

    Hating gay sex is an "all timesies law", slavery and cotton poly blends and more than one type of crops were only "part timesies laws". Those didn't actually carry over after the last rewrite.

    I don't dispute that but I think he's also trying to imply that homosexuality is not immoral because the Bible is often wrong. He'd be better off pointing out passages that seem to promote homosexuality.

    The Quran is wrong about many things too but he didn't single out Muslims in the video. Does he do that elsewhere?

    I'm genuinely surprised to see you taking Dan Savages side in all this. Kudos to you.

    Crap. I forgot that. They put dibs on hating gay sex for all time.

    I wonder if Dan has ever spoken out against the Koran or Islam?

    Which is pretty much what everyone said about civil rights "agitators."

    It's tough to avoid his central point, which is the bible seems to be invoked only selectively.

    Here we are again one side pitted against the other rather than coming together for a common theme....Love each other even with our flaws.

    instead we pick out reasons to hate


    For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.
