Bad Catholic posts a graphic “So you still think homosexuality is sinful” that is making the Facebook rounds. Marc Barnes says it makes him laugh and I totally agree since it is quite unintentionally funny.
I think I got my recommended daily allowance of condescension for the next year with the path for “No” and the next decade with the path for “Yes.” I applaud Bad Catholic for looking past the total ridiculousness of it and answering it. Though he missed one point with the basic premise of the question in that it is not same-sex attraction itself that is sinful, but homosexual acts. That the creators of this graphic made no such distinction is no surprise since distinction-making abilities were not exactly demonstrated in the first place.
On another level I have to wonder just exactly what the point of such a graphic as an apologetic effort for same-sex marriage? This is only the type of graphic where somebody who supports same-sex marriage can pat themselves on the back for being so enlightened and it in no way engages, but just insults opponents.

One basic error in the graphic is the bit that says “Jesus never uttered a word about same-sex relationships.” How do we know that he never uttered such words? Only people who believe that the Bible recorded every word which Jesus said can make such a claim. But the Bible makes it clear that it does not record every word which Jesus said:
“But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.” (John 21:25)
The “anti-bullying” bullies strike again
Are you sure that you’re also not a Bad Catholic Jeff? Well! Marc Barnes says it makes him laugh and you totally agree with him that “IT” is quite unintentionally funny?
I hear ya Jeff! Lighten UP sinner vic! Just cause I stopped your so called friend salvage from commenting here, don’t be putting words in my mouth! I did say that I found Marc Barnes post funny but I also stuck UP for them by saying in so many words that “IT” was their homosexual acts that was really sinful! 🙁
That a tell him Jeff! Personally speaking “I” think that he’s nothing but a skiso like most of his post during his last two blogs. There’s times when “I” wish that they would lock this sinner vic UP for good and throw away the keys but then, then U>S majority share hold hers would have to come out of the closet or suffer the consequences, if ya know what “I” mean?
STOP “IT” sinner vic! I’ve got nothing against gays and/or lesbians except that they think that “I hate them” but like you Jeff, I simply think that their physical behavior is just not acceptable in GOD (Good Old Dad) eyes.
Victor! Victor! Victor! We are the real gods and don’t get U>S (usual sinners) started as far as sex is concerned cause the last thing we want to talk about is “The Oldest Profession in the worlds”.
GIVE “IT” UP sinner vic cause me, myself and i also have nothing against “Face Book” and even though I was told that most of my virus came from there when my computer crashed. I’ll have ya know that I only stay away from “Face Book” because “I” don’t want to lock horns with any of our five daughter’s demons who might believe differently then myself. I only wish that all christians could agree to disagree without being called hateful and sinful names. I don’t want to hear my so called 92% sin gods saying that the only reasons our daughters don’t say “IT” to our face is because they love you Victor! My question to you sinful gods is simply, how do you know that? Maybe our daughters have simply learned to agree to disagree with me cause they respect me?
Go Figure!? 🙂
Peace
Salvage is an Internet drone who trolls about the Catholic blogosphere just to spread his hate and discontent against anything Christian. What a sad little man that he has nothing better to do with his godless atheist life.
Ioannes!
Normal people would agree with you, then again, none of us really know for sure that he is even a man. Some might believe that he’s really a computer testing us humans. Butt then again there could be others who might want to assume that this so called he/s man is actually an alien who’s been around for awhile.
Go Figure! 🙂
I hear ya Jeff! “IT’ takes all kinds to make the world go round! 🙁
Peace
I’ve made the mistake of saying I was not sure about same-sex marriage on a similar site and nearly got stung to death. Even a mild variation from full throw-your-enthusiastic-arms-around-it embrace or even acceptance is tantamount to admitting you’re a homophobe who is anxious to burn gays in the town square. And remember, there is nothing worse than homophobia, save pedo-priests, at least according to the media.
I have no real issue with gays and their wanting to live together, share legal responsibilities, but the drive for full-on endorsement is worrisome; there is a political agenda here.
