Let's compare Jesus and Muhammed (and debate homosexuality) (and Tombstone).

This isn't exactly the era of of WW1 or WW2, come on now. Sure, there are some people in high risk or high combat areas, but the number of soldiers dying in action is no where near what it used to be. My wife was in Kuwait, and outside the occasional fight on base, wasn't really in harms way, according to her.

Miggght have something to do with it. Also, you said wife. So we can safely assume she was in a non-combat specialty.

Still, though, good for her.

Last time I checked, I was in the infantry. Two deployments: one to Rustimayah and one to Summerall/Al Siniyah. Feel free to look these places up and then come talk to me about WWI, WWII, and the current MOUT operations that took place daily in those two hell holes.

Intermix with a current live-in population due to SASO, and you get an unknown component that never existed, outside of maybe Khe Sanh.

I never said it didn't, and I'm not trying to down play the risk over there, but because of technology, less and less of our soldiers are dying each day over there and everywhere else. Doesn't mean I don't feel for those in harms way, but it's not like it was in WW2, where we lost 416,000 soldiers over that time frame. Yes, the military was bigger, and it was a MUCH larger scale war, but outside of a nuclear war, we will never see that large of casualties in our lifetime. In almost 10 years of being over in the Middle East fighting the War on Terror, we have lost maybe six or seven thousand soldiers all together?? I don't know the exact number.

You had a chance to rethink your original post, and instead, you come back even stronger with this nonsense?

I've seen a lot of irrational nonsense on this board...much of it from you, obviously. But, this...this takes the effin' cake.

Homo sex. More dangerous than war. Epic.

There are less deaths, due to technology; however, there are enough non-fatal combat casualties (most which would have been fatal in WWII) that for anyone to describe the combat zones in Iraq from 2003-2009 as anything other than high-risk is absurd.

Now your just taking it to extremes. All I am saying, is that any heterosexual parent and who sits here and says they are OK with their kids being gay, aren't raising them to be gay. So with that said, why is it OK for them to be gay, because it's tolerable??
Click to expand...
If the alternative is to drive them away and disown them, then yes. I want my children to know that I love them unconditionally
Would you be OK for your son or daughter to have gay sex in your own home as a minor?? Would you allow it??

I do not intend to encourage them to have straight sex in my home as minor either.

Clearly he is more accepting of his children catching HIV now, because of medical advances, than he would have been in the 1980s.

We are slowly moving him toward acceptance. Gradual process, after all.

If I had one wish, I would wish to free all Americans from the dangers of neck infections, homo sex, and thigh acne. I would get in my car and deliver to them a magic potion that eradicates these hazards from our day-to-day lives. And if I couldn't deliver that potion in 30 minutes or less, that potion would be free to all US Americans. Or, I would make them pay for the potion, but offer them a coupon for free Cinnastix or cheesy bread on their next order.

Ok, let me ask you something then, are the majority of American military service men and women in harms way?? I'm talking about your definition of high risk now, the combat zones like you fought in. I do appreciate you and everyone else in our military, not only defending my freedoms and beliefs, but helping others try and achieve the same thing in their country. Most of my immediate family is or was in the military or police force, and if not for a small medical mishap for myself, I would probably be still serving in the Air Force. I was ELS'd in February of 2000, and was going in to be a meteorologist.

Can I go on record and say gaterhater doesn't speak for all believers? TIA

Gay sex is wrong because the Bible says so. Period for a believer. No need to make comparisons

The Bible also says it is wrong to wear clothing composed of differing fibers. Got any cotton/polyester mix clothes on you today? Sinner.

Most are in non-combat roles. Let me ask you this, does that change the risk that they might be put into harms way, in any given moment?

Like who?? Which job classifications would be changed to put them in harms way?? It would take almost a full scale World War to do that anyway.

Even on the "safest and most secure" FOBs in Iraq, they are in harms way, every day. Balad and BIAP are easily the two most built-up and "secure" FOBs I have been on; both are subject to routine mortar and rocket attacks for six years.

At Al-Siniyah, we had to replace all local contractors twice in nine months due to plots uncovered by our ODA that there were some who were planning attacks on the FOB.

Simply because many of these mortars and rocket attacks end up landing in unoccupied areas of the FOB or that these attacks are foiled before they are carried out, does not downgrade the high-risk that our military is in every day.

Have you ever been in a C-130 or C-5 while it is doing a combat land in Iraq. Bet your sphincter would close up pretty quickly.

Obviously, you have no idea what you are talking about. Mechanics, cooks, finance guys, ordnance, signal, etc., etc. ad infinitum were on CLPs once or twice a week on some of the most nefarious stretches of highway in the world. Do you think the four to six hours between route clearance and the CLPs is insufficient time to emplace IEDs, EFPs, and AAIEDs?

and in your opinion it's more dangerous being a homosexual than being in the military?
