I just looked into Osteen because I don't know much about him. While he generally does not preach out against homosexuality and welcomes homosexuals into his church (he normally avoids political topics altogether) he is on record as stating homosexual acts are a sin and he is on record as being opposed to gay marriage.
It took me all of 2 minutes to dig that up.

Met I knew you wasn't done when you said it the first time.... Something about never being wrong or the light of truth be shinned in your eyes!!! Must be a "teacher" thing... BTW.... Glad to be your favorite He said he was done 6 hours earlier. I still think it was good discussion.

I understand and respect your point, metamorahunter. And as far as sin being sin, I agree with you. However, when you talk about treating the sin of Homosexual behavior as special, I submit that it is the supporters of the behavior, not the critics, that treat it as special.
You mentioned smokers, cussers, fat people, etc. When have you ever seen an all out blitz for everyone to unconditionally accept any of those people. ( esp. smokers, good grief, if we treated gays like almost everyone treats smokers the liberals heads would explode)Occasionally you see people defend fat folks, but criticism of their behavior is fine. Outright persecution of smokers is fine. Cussers are looked at sideways. Yet you have to admit there is a strong push for everyone not to only accept gays, but shout from the rooftops how much they approve of them. Otherwise you are a bigot. No criticism, not even mute disapproval allowed. We can't just accept it, we have to promote it or be harassed.Great Post.....not sure how I missed this but well said!!!

Lol...liberal... Haha. I assume that was meant as an insult....and I assume, as we are not allowed to insult our fellow members, a mod will be along shortly to delete it. Golly....this inconsistent enforcement of the unwritten rules sure is confusing.

BTW.....Calling out the "MAGAMENT" on how the run things here will have bad/swift results!!!

Was it not meant as an insult? You know Met isn't a liberal so why else call him one unless it was meant as an insult?

Was it not meant as an insult? It was meant the same way the phase "Pharisees" was used/meant on page 1... I was stating my opinion maybe others where also....

That word was used twice and by two different people that I saw....and I have no idea what it means.
Was your use of liberal meant as an insult?

I don't think it is an insult. Some of my best friends are liberals and they are some of the smartest people I know. They just can't see both sides of an argument, which is frustrating. I probably have a lot more friends who are very Conservative. While they are very intelligent too, i run into the same frustrations with them.
I have a simple formula. If you can watch Fox News and not see how blatantly slanted it is, you may be hopelessly Conservative.
If you can watch any other major TV news network and not see how blatantly slanted they are, you may be hopelessly Liberal.
Oh, do I have a mess of fun trying to convince my Liberal friends of that!

Golly....this inconsistent enforcement of the unwritten rules sure is confusing. LOL... Only if one considers the word "liberal" as a bad word and a personal attack. I think we all are liberal in some things and not others. Or is it that you just want to throw stuff at the staff here?

For instance, I can see that I have white privilege where many friends don't, but I also think the race card is Way over played in society and many liberal friends won't cop to that.
