Bottom line is that aside from the really cranky old bastards, most Irish Catholics don't give a shit about getting all wound up over this kinda stuff. Live and let live, or I'll punch you in the face. :)No. They do care and they're fucking pissed. And they're under 50 and drink hard on weekends. And they're all boycotting Guinness this weekend. Just to step into YOUR sidewalk act for a minute, My sidewalk act? I did not create this controversy. Italian parishes expected their priests to dispense fire and brimstone and "you're all going straight to hell" whereas the IRISH parishes were "fuck that, c'mere and give me a hug" . I thought the difference was statues and gold crosses around the neck. |

OK, fight me if you wanna, I'm cool with it. :)Anyone who's pissed about it all probably has their own sexual identity issues ... can't help them there. But as I've repeatedly said before, my own problem with forcing those dinosaurs to accept modern life is that if we impose upon their toy, then it gives others the right to impose on OTHER parades, and I can see that not working out well. I believe in freedom of association for private groups, but they DO have to bear in mind that they're using public facilities for their stupid parade. But if we force them to accept "I'm gay" marchers, then what's to stop the NRA from suing and winning about having their own "Shoot them faggots" banners marching along in the Gay Pride parades? I think each group has the right to choose who can play and everybody else has the right to say "Fuck that, I ain't playing" ... but I suppose that's the wrong answer to way too many. :( |

This weekend we read a crazy story about Jesus appearing before his disciples in light form, with two dead guys and Peter was like, "Ok.

In this case, both the Cubs and Nationals approved the schedule change and it isn't a hardship on either team.But the point is, it was rescheduled because of political strong arm tactics used by Leftists. You only proved my point by verifying how rare double-headers are. Thanks for attacking and backfiring. p.s. - I did the recumbent bike because it's raining hard in Florida. |

The constitution states freedom OF religion. That means they have the right to practice as they believe. That means people LIKE YOU can't force them to do things against their religion.The "freedom from religion", is just THAT, BILLSHIT. You do not have to participate in the parade, no one is forcing you to. So don't go. amd don't watch it on TV. Done, you are absolved of being "subjected" to "religion, as your BULLSHIT says. |

If they are a cop, fireman, in a band, or whatever other groups are involved in the parade, they are completely free to march as is anyone else.

But there's a difference. A THIEF implies someone already stole something, as in past tense, you can't be a "thief" without already having committed robbery.The same with murder. A "murderer" can not be a murderer unless he killed someone. The same is not true of homosexuals. As heterosexuals, they are what they are. But that does not mean a homosexual partakes in homosexual activity (just as it doesn't mean a heterosexual has sex). |

However, to receive this gift, we must reject sin, including homosexual behavior—that is, acts intended to arouse or stimulate a sexual response regarding a person of the same sex. The Catholic Church teaches that such acts are always violations of divine and natural law. Homosexual desires, however, are not in themselves sinful. People are subject to a wide variety of sinful desires over which they have little direct control, but these do not become sinful until a person acts upon them, either by acting out the desire or by encouraging the desire and deliberately engaging in fantasies about acting it out. People tempted by homosexual desires, like people tempted by improper heterosexual desires, are not sinning until they act upon those desires in some manner. Divine Law The rejection of homosexual behavior that is found in the Old Testament is well known. In Genesis 19, two angels in disguise visit the city of Sodom and are offered hospitality and shelter by Lot. During the night, the men of Sodom demand that Lot hand over his guests for homosexual intercourse. Lot refuses, and the angels blind the men of Sodom. Lot and his household escape, and the town is destroyed by fire "because the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord" (Gen. 19:13). Throughout history, Jewish and Christian scholars have recognized that one of the chief sins involved in God’s destruction of Sodom was its people’s homosexual behavior. But today, certain homosexual activists promote the idea that the sin of Sodom was merely a lack of hospitality. Although inhospitality is a sin, it is clearly the homosexual behavior of the Sodomites that is singled out for special criticism in the account of their city’s destruction. We must look to Scripture’s own interpretation of the sin of Sodom. Jude 7 records that Sodom and Gomorrah "acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust." Ezekiel says that Sodom committed "abominable things" (Ezek. 16:50), which could refer to homosexual and heterosexual acts of sin. Lot even offered his two virgin daughters in place of his guests, but the men of Sodom rejected the offer, preferring homosexual sex over heterosexual sex (Gen. 19:8–9). Ezekiel does allude to a lack of hospitality in saying that Sodom "did not aid the poor and needy" (Ezek. 16:49). So homosexual acts and a lack of hospitality both contributed to the destruction of Sodom, with the former being the far greater sin, the "abominable thing" that set off God’s wrath. But the Sodom incident is not the only time the Old Testament deals with homosexuality. An explicit condemnation is found in the book of Leviticus: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. . . . If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them" (Lev. 18:22, 20:13). Reinterpreting Scripture To discount this, some homosexual activists have argued that moral imperatives from the Old Testament can be dismissed since there were certain ceremonial requirements at the time—such as not eating pork, or circumcising male babies—that are no longer binding. While the Old Testament’s ceremonial requirements are no longer binding, its moral requirements are. God may issue different ceremonies for use in different times and cultures, but his moral requirements are eternal and are binding on all cultures. Confirming this fact is the New Testament’s forceful rejection of homosexual behavior as well. In Romans 1, Paul attributes the homosexual desires of some to a refusal to acknowledge and worship God. He says, "For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct. . . . Though they know God’s decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them but approve those who practice them" (Rom. 1:26–28, 32). Elsewhere Paul again warns that homosexual behavior is one of the sins that will deprive one of heaven: "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor. 6:9–10, NIV). All of Scripture teaches the unacceptability of homosexual behavior. But the rejection of this behavior is not an arbitrary prohibition. It, like other moral imperatives, is rooted in natural law—the design that God has built into human nature. Natural Law People have a basic, ethical intuition that certain behaviors are wrong because they are unnatural. We perceive intuitively that the natural sex partner of a human is another human, not an animal. The same reasoning applies to the case of homosexual behavior. The natural sex partner for a man is a woman, and the natural sex partner for a woman is a man. Thus, people have the corresponding intuition concerning homosexuality that they do about bestiality—that it is wrong because it is unnatural. Natural law reasoning is the basis for almost all standard moral intuitions. For example, it is the dignity and value that each human being naturally possesses that makes the needless destruction of human life or infliction of physical and emotional pain immoral. This gives rise to a host of specific moral principles, such as the unacceptability of murder, kidnapping, mutilation, physical and emotional abuse, and so forth. |

The desire to commit the act precedes the act. A killing can't be murder if it is not premeditated after all. And I've never heard of "accidentally" taking stuff that isn't yours if if you break into a domicile belonging to someone else. |

It's been 13 years? I wonder if that was done deliberatley? What's your source?Google "Cubs schedule 2013," "Cubs schedule 2012," etc. Not that hard. I don't know if it was deliberate or not, but that's a big difference in numbers. |

But I guess Tom Ricketts doesn't mind the revenue he would other wise he would be making that day, but the area's buisnesses I'm sure are pissed on the revenue they'll be losing that day. I'm taking my buisness to Milwaukee that day.The Cubs have hosted "Out at Wrigley" as part of the parade since 2001, and they have a float in the parade. Here's Ernie Banks on it in the 2010 parade:  That's Cubs co-owner Laura Ricketts on the float with him. She's gay. I don't think area businesses are going to be crying about lost revenue with a million extra people on the street. |
