This is just pure ignorance. You are equating promiscuity with being homosexual. That's as spurious as saying all black men have big dicks or all Asian men are really good at math.

The parents in question have been together for 22 years. Seems to me to be a stable family.

I don't disagree that they acted base on their beliefs. I just feel that their beliefs are at odds with laws of discrimination (the same law that would prevent them from keeping Blacks out of their school). Add to this, I feel their interpretation of Christianity is flawed. They are using the religion to support their own bias (a common practice)... were they to follow all of the Old Testament laws instead of just picking and chosing those that work for them, they would have to live a very different lifestlye.

Christianity while informed by the OT is not bound by the OT. Otherwise keep Kosher like a good othodox Jew.


(by the way, I will say it again: calling people mentally deranged and morons is not acceptable)
