First of all, this seperate but unequal stuff is BS.  Black people
arent doing anything wrong by being black.  Race is no reason
to segregate, and the Bible says nothing about people of different races
being inferior, quite on the contrary, it calls for brotherhood and
equality in God's sight.  There is no excuse for rascism, its a
sin just like homosexuality.  But homosexuality is a sin, and 
we should treat it that way and say that its ok.  All this talk
about people being born homosexuals is just BS.  Its a diliberate act
of choice.  And as such, its a violation of God's laws. Period.
Now a homosexual can realize he's sinning and repent, and ask for
forgiveness just like any Christian has done.  We all sin, the difference
is whether you admit to the sin and are sorry, or you blatently declare
that you are not breaking law.  And thats what I am opposed to, because once
society views homosexuality as being normal, its not considered
a sin, and therefore man views get more and more seperated from God's
view.  That's my point.  Thats the reason I wouldnt discriminate
against a homosexual, because people have the freedom to do what
they want, and suffer the consequences, good or bad.  But its
the societal impact that I'm concerned with.

With regards to my debate on nuclear weapons, I am not advocating war, no
sane person would do that.  What I am advocating is rationality
in dealing with the issue.  And its this sort of fuzzy thinking about
casualities by SEVENER types, devoid of any facts or rationale,
that causes stupid actions on the part of the U.S. which weaken
our national security and make the world that more dangerous.
Its a call for rationality.  Because its that rationality which keeps
the peace.  And its peace that I am arguing for, real peace, not the 
illusion of it. And I think Peace is a very Christian thing to advocate.
