Again, I'd like to see someone other than you backing any of these theories. A lot of the information Yeah5 (from what I can tell) and I submit are from a book called "The Case for Christ". An atheist investigated Jesus and found the evidence to be compelling. True story. You haven't given us anything to back your ideas.
Right, because the First Amendment isn't backed up. Hmmm, I wonder where we can find that? I don't think I can....*end sarcasm*


His existence doesn't prove he's the son of God. His claims backed by his miracles and prophesy fullfillment prove he's the son of God.
You have no proof that these miracles actually happened other than a 2000 year old piece of literature. It could be nothing more than a fairy tale like that of Snow White.


Our disagreeing would mean little except we're basing it on a higher authority.
A higher authority which has not been proven to exist nor does everybody believe in. Therefore, it is wrong to use this higher authority's will as justification for actions agaisnt anything.


We have used actual support. I just don't remember what you've used.
Really what support? All I see is constant references to people who a) believe in the Bible b) The content of the Bible or c)people who used to not believe in the Bible but now do. So what.

The point is, God has not been proven to exist and therefore the validity of the Bible has not been proven.


Unless you're claiming, that Yeah5, Sorovis, or I have threatened your life or welfare I don't see we're forcing anything.
Obviously you know nothing about politics since everything about the First Amendment flew right over your head. I will not take the time to explain it again since you obviously missed the content the first time (and honestly, it's not that hard to understand, try reading the post next time).

THE BOTTOM LINE:

The existence of God has not been proven, therefore the Bible is not an adequate source of justification for actions against homosexuality.

You are forcing your Christian beliefs on a group of people by forbidding first graders to read homosexual content simply because your story doesn't agree with it.


OMG, now let's look at what I just said. Any rational person would read those lines and understand them. Ooooo, let's stare in awe.
