A Funny Freeper FREAK OUT Thread Re: Homosexuality

[K8-EEE]

Holy moley, how do people this stupid make through the day?

Read about the Freeper lesbian who has learned to "bear the cross" of her "condition" thanks to the Catholic church. Although she just ended a "chaste" relationship with a guy today, but not at all for that reason, she just needed space!

LOL!

Then some real psycho Freeper chimes in that "if you like to take it up the..." well, you know, that it's not a disorder, it's a sin and he seems more than happy to cast the first stone and this very polite although sadly self-loathing lesbian Freeper, Jeez!

There sure are a lot of stone-throwers over there! They could make an Olympic sport out of it.

I know it's sick to lurk at FR and that I shouldn't get so amused by it. I must have a disorder myself!

1. that is totally sad. how do people let those psychos do that

[BamaLefty]

2. That "Site" (assuming you can call it that)

is soooooooooooooooooooo lame it ain't even funny. It looks like it was just thrown up overnight. No "forum layout" whatsoever.

FREAK REPUBLIC... bastards!

[jonnyblitz]

4. I can't navigate that site but I assumed it was because I am

not that smart on the computer. :shrug:

[K8-EEE]

12. It's So Annoying To Read The "To/From"

It'a hard to keep straight which freepres are fighting with who. Reminds me of a circa 1995 type web site, visually!

They're all a-shoutin' at each other over the whole Mrs. Schiavo thing.

[BamaLefty]

13. 1995 Website! LOL!

I guess they think it looks "conservative."

It's ugly to me. Unorganized too.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. See, the thing is, and I've noticed this about a lot of conservative sites

Conservatives are generally AWFUL with design. Just look at all the uber-patriotic art you see, it's the tackiest shit ever. I guess that extends into their web design sensibilities.

3. Poor woman

she doesn't deserve the hate brought upon by these people.

How can you stand to read the idiotic ramblings of the freepers? They drive me INSANE!!!

[libhill]

5. Nah -

You'll be ok, just take a hot bath in rubbing alcohol, to get rid of those Freeptard cooties.

[Cannikin]

6. "bear the cross" of her "condition"

just kill me now.

[FreedomAngel82]

7. I guess she believes that

I'm religious (Christian) and I know that you can't just "cure" something that's part of your soul. :crazy: It's who you are and the sooner the freepers wake up to this the sooner they'll realize that. But then again listen who I'm talking about. :eyes: They'll just blame Satan.

[blogbear]

9. 'May he without blemish cast the first stone'..My, haven't we..

just conveniently gotten away from this one! Oh, and incidently snot faces the accepted word is gay!

[XemaSab]

10. These people usually

hate shrinks.

Interesting to see their reactions to a shrink who supports their ideology.

[kiraboo]

11. This woman as much as admits that she has a "condition"

that can't be cured. She was having a CHASTE relationship and almost married, but rather than actually endure heterosexual sex, she broke it off and is now trying to live without a close personal relationship. She is in effect negating what Spitzer says and opts for celibacy instead of gay sex. She's right... the Church is okay with that in theory. I find it interesting that somebody chimes in with the assertion that there are other freepers having the same struggle with their sexuality.

I'm straight, but I imagine that under certain circumstances I could make the switcheroo. So could a homosexual. The question is, why the hell should anybody have to? Spitzer is right when he recognizes that the reason he doesn't see as many homosexuals in his office looking for a "change" is because they no longer believe they are sick. They aren't. So, Spitzer has one thing right.

[Bill McBlueState]

17. switcheroo

No, no, the old switcheroo is you poison your drink then you switch it with the other person's.

14. The freerepublic web site sucks! It is so 1990...

[deadparrot]

15. Okay, let's just pretend for a moment

that homosexuality can be "cured" (I wholeheartedly do *not* accept this belief, BTW). Even if it is a concious choice, WHY DO THEY CARE? It doesn't frigging involve them in any way.

I just don't understand this control they must exert over other people's personal lives. It drives me absolutely nuts.

[dorktv]

16. I feel sorry for Kara. She has decided that God does not

want people to be loved because they do not fit some arbitary (and obviously skewed if not outright false) standard set down in the bible thousands of years ago.

Maybe she should stop thinking God is just what man has written and start thinking that God is more infinet then we could ever possibly think. I believe God made gay people just like he made straight people. God does not mess up after all.

[K8-EEE]

18. Doesn't The Fact That Alan Keyes,

Dick Cheney and Randall Terry have gay kids just prove the point that SOME PEOPLE ARE GAY! The "culture of life" and "family values" is perfectly OK with disowning them....I thank God I was not brought up in a conservative family, even though I'm a straight married woman, I find them incredibly mean and hateful.

[Maestro]

19. Freepers are so falsely religious it would be laughable

if the people this affected were not so real.

I have been on a spiritual journey for quite some time. My life is one big doubt about most questions of faith. About the only thing I can say with certainty is that a man name Yahweh or Jesus lived some 2,000 years ago. Beyond that I am still trying to figure out what happened. As such I have become in my spare time a weekend biblical researcher looking at events and ideas from a strictly academic almost scientific point of view.

Kara needs to reevaluate what she sees as a solution to her problem because even though some scripture does indeed condemn homosexuality, the gospels will always have the prejudices and biases of the writers plus the question of proper translation but I am digressing. The Bible has many instances of same sex relationships, David and Jonathan, Ruth and Naomi even Jesus and his disciples. These relationships were not sexual, but they indeed are strong, intimate relationships so the question is does God condone any relationship marked by faithfulness and commitment while devoid of promiscuity or self-gratification as the only reason for being in the relationship? Looking at the Bible in its entirety; especially looking at the teachings of Jesus, I would have to say yes. God loves all heterosexual or homosexual. Churches that choose to "correct" homosexual behavior are ignoring the fact that two loving people made in the image of God have a loving, thoughtful, monogamous relationship. There is nothing wrong with that. So if you ask me, freepers and other ultra right wing fundies that try to change this are saying that God made a mistake. So their work is in fact blasphemous from my cold academic point of view.

[K8-EEE]

20. Absolutely.....

This last election got me to stop going to (Catholic) church...something I had been doing my whole life. I just started looking at it with the brains and heart that God gave me and I went: this is bullshit. Although the Pope spoke out about the war none of my priests at my parish would I started thinking, why would they, there have been so many awful unjustices that they haven't had the courage to face. The problem (same with protecting the pedophile priests) is that they are all about protecting their considerable wealth. I think they will have to divest themselves of it to really be the Church Jesus envisioned --

[Extend a Hand]

21. I thought that the David and Johnathan relationship

was explicitly sexual.

[Maestro]

22. Not that I am aware

but I am no expert on this. This is just some sort of hobby of mine to try to look at the Bible with critical, academic eye. I will investigate this though.

23. I found this when my son had questions about homosexuality and the bible

I found this site helpful:
http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bmar.htm
It's been helpful to me lots of times

1 Samuel 18:3-4

"And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt." (NIV)

Since people in those days did not wear underwear, Jonathan stripped himself naked in front of David. That would be considered extremely unusual behavior (then and now) unless their relationship was physical.

1 Samuel 20:41

"After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with is face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together - but David wept the most." (NIV)

Other translations have a different ending to the verse:
bullet "...and they kissed one another and wept with one another, until David exceeded." (KJV)

<snip>
The original Hebrew text says that they kissed each other and wept together until David became great. The word which means "great" in this passage is "gadal" in the original Hebrew. The same word is used elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures to refer to King Solomon being greater than all other kings. Some theologians interpret "gadal" in this verse as indicating that David had an erection. However, the thoughts of David becoming sexually aroused after kissing Jonathan is too threatening for Bible translators, so they either deleted the ending entirely or created one of their own.

27. Wow!

Interesting. I will try to find out more.

[recoveringrepublican]

24. yuck reminds me of someone I know

won't say who because I have no doubt he lurks, but he once said "once homos realize that women have a nice warm hole like my wife does then they will have no problems getting married". Niiiccce huh? I guess he just married his wife because she was a warm hole. yuck.

[Jamastiene]

25. I've been saying for years

Many people who view homosexuality that way seem to have that attitude.

[BiggJawn]

28. Don't some STR8 women...

"like to take it up the..."?
I've known a few. :evilgrin:

FReeper must be too dense to know what a Lesbian is, even though he has lots of "those" videos he trips his trolley to in him mom's basement...
