Actually housemate you are spot on, he said from the start he felt he was on a mission, all the early weeks in the diary room and all over the house, he carried out his preaching,all this full of the love of the lord drunk on the lord, drunk of the holy spirit, preaching on certan activities such as gay marriage and giving a sermon really. He was always on about it and although there is a slight abatement he still goes on and on and regularly stated in the early weeks it was his duty to promote the power and love of the lord.
His statement that he only says 2% of all he thinks,well,all I can say is, THANK the lord for that, thank goodness he does only say 2%.
I can go on a lot making my points on things, but if he gave us all the other 98% we would be brainwashed because there would be no more time to hear what any other housemate said.

I'm not sure what planet or even what year you are living in, but this is 2010 on Earth & now the majority of people are very accepting of homosexuals, quite rightly so too...

It IS acceptable, not to you maybe, but who cares? :sleep:

You seem to be under the wrong impression that people who think homosexuals are "acceptable" are wrong, when infact it is you who are very very wrong... And why isn't it "acceptable"???? :conf: :sleep:

The only person dictating their views on this subject has been YOU. YOU are the one who presumes their "truth" is "superior" & have tried to turn it round that anyone that disagrees with YOU must be "strange"... :sleep:

We get it, you are a Christian & you don't agree with homosexuals... NO ONE CARES... :xyxwave:

How ridiculous - talk about twist his words! He was simply saying that you have to be tactful about what you say to people - you can't just say everything you think - if it may offend! And 2% was just an off-the-cuff figure! Sigh!

Well maybe he should think about what he says before he says it like he was trying to explain to sam..

this wasn't an entirely serious thread but a fair one in the context of him trying to tell someone else to think before they speak surely.

The real big turn off for people as to Christianity, (and I am a Christian, I have family who are Priests), are many people who call themselves Christians,watch them and you see no bigger example of hypocrisy from being a Church singing sweetly and looking all pious,then leaving church and tearing away to get home, speaking to few poeple and moaning the service or sermon was too long, then they go and forget about helping people in the main until next week for an hour or so in church.
DAVE would drive me away from his church not win me over to it in any way.
Talk is easy and Dave does a hell of a lot of that.

Oh - I'm sure you share every private thought about people with them! You don't like a colleague at work very much - so you just blurt it out! Life doesn't work like that - people often keep their opinions to themself - there would be chaos if we all went round telling everyone what we really think of them! Realities of life!

And what is this constant obsession with gays! Talk about trying to shove your opinions down other people's throats! Dave clearly has no problem with gay people per se - just can't marry them due to religious restraints. Not that that is anyone else's business anyway! Just trying to stir up more hatred for him! :sleep:

We currently are at a peak of human scientific evolution and homosexuality in europe is accepted.

And wouldn't you agree that those scientists were wrong and perhaps their findings were based on bias or "expected" results?

Not that this has anything to do with the topic that i created lol..

Wish people would stop comparing a reality entertainment show with a competative prize element with "real life" they can say they don't like one another cause they are never going to meet again unless they choose to and people are watching them and like it or not judging them.

I really don't think he would agree to be honest... :nono:

haha no i don't think he will either.

We are??
Wow!

In fact, state-acknowledged homosexual marriage is not happening in most of Europe.

As for homosexuality in general (put aside marriage) it is very obvious to anyone that a large portion of European certainly don't accept this as 'completely normal'.
People 'accept' if you mean 'tolerate' and so we also tolerate alcoholism, football fanatics and latex fetishes.
Yes, I do agree that these scientists were wrong and homosexuality was not a 'mistake of evolution' and could not be ended by eliminating gays in camps. Agreed.

Here again is the specific complaint or criticism:
Having a discussion where we 'pretend' that not only is homosexual marriage perfectly acceptable by everyone of us,
but,
in fact the very idea of even questioning it or (in this case) a Christian minister NOT happily marrying gays....
...that people act 'as if' this were UNHEARD OF!.
That we ought to be SURPRISED!
Not only surprised but want to HURT HIM for daring to say something so outrageous and defying!

In reality, even with a 'liberal' party elected into power they knew they could not do 'gay marriage' for the backlash and resistance it would meet (and probably fail).
So they went for 'civil union' instead - something which does not even imply homosexuality after all.

So why are we pretending we are 'surprised' at such a thing?

he only says 2% because he bitches behind their backs the other 98%.
