See, now I want a new answer...that didn't quite cut it. Failure on all levels.

Dude, you have me laughing so hard with that beautiful little turn of phrase!

We need a better class of troll, here. 

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

I was wondering if, in your experience there are practicing Christians that are gay?

Do catholic priests count?

One more thing, for general consideration... I suspect there's a wide variety of cultural norms for gay people

Too many people think all gay people are card carrying members of a radical far left group. Most aren't.

Being gay doesn't preclude someone from being politically conservative.

You're saying our military detests gays so much that they'll shoot them if they join?

It does happen in real life, eh?  Attempted homosexual seductions on the battlefield? 

Please post some reports of that.  Because I find it pretty hard to believe.

Don't worry about my feelings, did it look like I worried about yours...you just keep searching for that answer and damn it...make it a good one. I don't need an answer for you. I don't believe there is a gay agenda, just a group equal rights activists. You got one thing right though...I am pretty fuzzy.

Think Well.

I'm liberal enough to accept the fact that there are those who will practice their perversions in a mostly free society. But the gay movement has been "weaponized" in the last decade so that homosexuals who once merely asked to be left alone are now fighting to get their agenda in our grade schools and sensitize the young and innocent to regular gay propaganda and queer theories. I think the intention is to encourage homo "puppy love" and attempt to put it on an equal footing with normal puppy love between a young boy and a young girl. Just another attempt by the gay storm-troopers to normalize perversion in all segments of society.

"Who would have thought Rube Goldberg had gay descendents?"

I'm not even going to join in the gays/mil discussion, but I just had to comment, that line was FUNNY!

mvfreeman, You said that, "The muslim extremists we are fighting are trying to kill any americans they can."

True.. but that was not the point I was making.

I was making an argument that FRIENDLY FIRE incidents.. would likely increase with openly professing gays. And it isn't just the recruiter who knows.. if it is on the forms. Disclosing it openly.. would allow a lot more people to know. People would "come out" and then.. well, I was just concerned for gays safety.

Guess compassion is lost on you.. :)

And I don't appreciate being lumped in with the loonies who protest the military, and picket their funerals. Obviously, I support the military.. even the gays in it. You don't see me calling for their deaths.. but for their protection.

As for the second post you made... you deprecated my saying that God wins battles, not men.

You said, "Nope it cant possibly have anything to do with superior tactics, greater numbers, or more advanced military technology and training."

Well, those things are given by God as a blessing from Him.. and can be removed by Him to the loss of even the greatest military power on earth.. check history. Though someone trusts in "chariots and horses" or "more advanced military technology, training and greater numbers".. that is not truly what wins battles. Victory.. is God's.

Psa 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

1Ch 29:11 Yours, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head above all.

But you would know none of that because you are not a spiritual man.. and it is lost on you. Those who have ears to hear understand what I speak of.. the physical flows from the spiritual.

1Co 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

You say, "The U.S has lost how many battles in its history? And for some reason it was because God didn't approve of something?" 

That is a very simplistic view. But the outcome was surely in the hand of God. He was the one who determines the destinies of individuals.. of countries.. and of nations.

Dan 5:21 .. the most high God rules in the kingdom of men, and He appoints over it whomsoever He will.

Such is the Bible view.. that God appoints over nations whom He wills.. so that the battle goes the way He wishes it to. The US became a nation and was not quashed by England because God willed it.. not because of superior tactics in war. George Washington being a sly fox and retreating, could also have been seen by history as not sly but cowardly, if the battle had gone the other way. It was providence that God blessed the endeavor and created the great nation of the United States for His own good reasons. And every battle since has had His superintendence upon it.. and will in the future.

You say, "Any given soldier is a sinner in some form or another. Hell the military is already accepting convicted felons."

That may be true.. but God did not say of felons that He would overthrow and destroy a city (or nation) for that sin.. but He did say this of the sin of "Sodom and Gomorrah" - for which cause He overthrew those cities and destroyed them.. saying they are set forth as an EXAMPLE that others may heed.  

Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

What is the EXAMPLE for.. if not to say that these kinds of people can incur the wrath of God and cause destruction?

So those who are felons in the ranks do not doom the people.. but what of this saying that God sets this forth as an EXAMPLE to men? Are we to conclude that because it offends your sensibilities that God will likewise be so minded? Or will these words of Scripture stand.. and the offense be seen before God? And exactly HOW will He judge an OPEN profession of that which HE says is abominable to HIM? I do not care one bit what men think.. but we should care about what God thinks.. unless we are fools. For it is the position of the fool to laugh at God's edicts as though He does not exist or is a mere man whose words can be ignored or overcome.

You ask, "Why on earth would God curse someone for the sins of another?"

You obviously have not read the Bible. Ever heard of the Battle of Ai? There is Biblical precedent showing that the actions of one can be visited on the many.. and along with this pronouncement from God of His willingness to bring destruction upon a nation for this ONE particular sin.. it is wise not to provoke Him to anger. If I stand accused by you of anything, clearly it is that I fear God, while you.. do not. Which, then, is the more foolish position? You despise me for my religion, then despise me for what it really is.. my care for the opinions and edicts of Almighty God in His Word, the Bible. Admit your opposition is not to me.. but to what the Bible itself decrees. Your conflict, therefore, is not with men, but with God.
