I am probably way too late to flame this loser, but here goes anyways...

Righto!  I am not offended by gays.  I do find the thought kind of
repulsive, but then I was never forced to take part in any gay
sexual behaviour.  Unless you have, Richard, I don't think you
can truly say you are offended.  If you are, then I suggest you
develop a little thicker skin to whatever people do in their
private life.

>The Bible prescribes the death penalty for homosexuals.

Right (sarcasm).  It said so right there in the 23rd commandment, right?
``Thou shall not have anal sex with another man should thou be
a man.  Else thou will suffer the pain of death.''  Your type
of interpretation of the bible and taking your interpretation as
truth really offends me.  In a very valid way.

Yeah, I recall that.  I was there!

Where in the world do you come up with this conclusion, fly-boy?
I stand incredulous as I read this.  Are you so hopeless that
you actually expect everyone on the net to believe this?

What a cute line  ;-|.

The only sensible thing in your whole article.
