Nope, this one definitely didn't die.

Gays and lesbians are trying to get people to leave them alone and live
their lives the way they want to.  Christians like you have taken it upon
themselves to decide exactly what's right and what's wrong and let everyone
know it in no uncertain terms.  I must ask you, who made you the utmost
authority on what this God that may or may not exist believes?  Who gave you
the right to cast the first stone?

Not all taxpayers are Christian.  I happen to be one of them.  I don't
particularly want my tax money to go to all Christian art, but I do know
that some should be funded to give people more knowledge about the world.
I also think that homosexual art should be funded, as well as Muslim,
Jewish....(do you get the picture)?  In short, I think the art paid for
by taxes should represent the taxpayers.  Just because I pay taxes doesn't
mean that I should be the sole authority on what my money goes toward.  I'm
just one of many.

Gays and lesbians aren't the only one who practice this tactic.  In fact, I
see more slanderous material in magazines and newspapers about gays and
lesbians.


>They want business owners to pay for insurance
>to
>cover their "spouses".  They want to make our churches accept them as

If your business is going to cover your spouse, I see no reason why it
shouldn't cover for a homosexual's spouse.  The concept is the same, I assure
you.  Either way, they're paying for insurance for someone who doesn't work
for them.


>They want to be teachers and principals, role models for our children.

If they have morals and good ethics, why not?  Who they have sex with isn't
any of our business anyway.


>They

All special interest groups seek to do this.  Even Christians.  Especially
Christians.


>representatives.  How can they represent Christian values?

Unless they are Christian, why would they want to?


>They want to be inseminated and raise families. Their totally mixed-up

I've met many gays and lesbians who would make better parents than people
who are parents.

And many have created a huge division in our country by labeling homosexuals
"fags" and "queers".

Just by criticising shock when a stone is thrown through a window is
condoning the act.  How would you feel if someone threw a rock into your
window?  Shock?  I thought so.  It's the exact same thing.

That is the same sentiment expressed in the gay community.  Hey!  I have
a novel idea!  Live and let live!

Let's see..."But, Christians have an agenda and they will not stop
until they are either converted to paganism, change their ways, and
stop acting as Christians, (and stop aiding the Christian agenda),
or they completely take over the country and change it forever."
Sounds pretty ridiculous that way, doesn't it?  Believe it or not, that'
exactly what you said, I just inserted your particular group into it.

Well, I am going to stop here and continue later as this is getting too
long and I have to go to class.  Just once I'd like to find a place where
people can live the way they want to live, without infringing on others
and at the same time not have to deal with others infringing on them.
I thought that's what democracy was all about, but apparently not.
