Gay rights icon arrested on child porn charges

[Soundbear]

I know you are doing your perceived godly duty and speaking out against homosexuality. The bible does say it's against the rules after all. The bible also calls for child sacrifice and slavery which of course do not make those right either. Come to think of it, what did Jesus say about homosexuality? If my memory serves correctly he never mentioned it.

Given all the injustice, evil and hatred in the world, I have to wonder why you'd spend even a second concerning yourself with gay people on this board. Personally, I think the church and religious folks in general would make a lot more friends if they focused more on helping the poor or sheltering the homeless or just generally trying to live/act more like Jesus (I know some churches do that already) and spent less time worrying about what consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms.

Your comments about what the bible says totally blow the rest of your post.

Think so if you wish.

Saying, "the bible says.." and then popping off something totally ludicrous just makes me laugh.

So does thinking YOU are concerned enough to discuss "the main point"!!!

Normally, I just peruse these threads with amused indifference, but the flagrant abuses of logic here are enough to warrant a response.

First, this is not a thread about religion. The argument that 'because gay advocates tend to attack religion', does not validate the idea that a 'thread about a gay advocate is a thread on religion'. Utter nonsense.

Second, the idea that people are 'afraid to attack anyone who is gay', or 'criticize radical Muslims' is so ridiculous, it doesn't even deserve a response. Talk about building a straw man for paranoid conservatives.

On the subject of paranoid conservatives, Breitbart is a known flake who has staged major media events, in order to character assassinate those he opposes ideologically. So, when Breitbart's site reports that Larry Blinkin has been arrested for child porn, people with the ability to discriminate reality will realize that there is a good chance the whole thing is a frame job, since the entire allegation stems from images in e-mail attachments, and responses made from a messenger service, both easily hijacked from outside sources. The man hasn't actually been charged with anything, but that doesn't stop the attacks. For some, the truth is only a minor consideration, and waiting for the facts is just a nuisance.

How likely is it that this man, who spent his life working on human rights issues, texted things like 'I especially loved the 2 year old n_____ getting nailed'? Do you even bother to filter for reality, or are you just too excited by the prospect of scoring some cheap points?

On a happy note, or rather an ironic one, Breitbart blew out his own chest pump on a Los Angeles sidewalk, so hatred will have to wait for a replacement. Based on some of the eager beavers around here, it shouldn't take long for someone to jump into the breach.

SB that was a direct insult. If there was a REAL MOD in this forum you would receive a warning.

Really?? My apologies. It was not my intent to in any way insult anyone.

So, back to the main point??

First reference. Question: Who pushed for the abolition of slavery??

Second reference: Thanks for the chuckle.

Oh, don't worry. I see the difference. Child sexual abuse AND subsequent cover-ups by church officials is totally reprehensible and is worse by far, particularly because their message is totally hypocritical.
I suspect because this man is gay, there is not nearly the outcry, nor any bewonderment because he sits on human rights tribunals. BEcause we are afraid to criticize anyone who is gay. Much the same way no one criticizes radical Muslims much when they act out. At least the media stays pretty low key. Had this man been a hetero teacher, they'd have made much more hay out of this.

Since we are suspecting here, I suspect that the thread was started to push the agenda the gays are social deviants. I suspect that the poster was trying to equate homosexuality with child abuse.

Being that there are bigger fish to fry than dissing people with alternative sexualities, yet it seems a hot topic among certain Christians on the board as do all sorts of most other deviations from the most conservative sexual preferences.

How about using some of that energy to cure poverty or end the Americans endless bullying of other countries which results in endless wars and killing?
