Haha, also caught it as a fake. Pretty funny way of baiting people though.

Ah, it got me! Lol. But the fact that I thought it was real goes to show what certain politicians are like.

We in Australia had an actual Senator (Cory Bernardi of South Australia) comment once about the legalizing of bestiality following the legal recognition of same sex marriages. Although he was forced to resign as opposition parliamentary secretary after that.

I've heard it right out of someone's mouth--I kid you not--that because so and so is gay, he's a pedophile. Then he went into beastiality yeah.
No Joke.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I actually think those arguments are relatively common. If we let gays get married, what's to prevent people from marrying a goat? Or if being gay is okay, why is pedophilia not okay? These are simple objections from simple minds.

I find it hard to object to anything consensual and sexual. Animals and children are not capable of consent.
