Gay dentists can also put things in your mouth too.

Fair play Tony.

It takes a big man to admit it.

Apples how many times do I have to say this.Jesus' compassion was not unconditional,it was extended to sinners with the aim of getting them to recognise their sin and repent.Jesus would have no compassion for a gay atheist for example.Read the Gospels and Jesus' frequent dire warnings of what awaits those who do not heed his call to believe in him and repent.

Why don't you back up your claims and post them yourself?

Tony, would you not think those warnings were specifically for the Jews of His day?
If a baptised Catholic who sins all over the place( gay/straight/agnostic/atheist) gets run over by a car gets anointed before he dies....?

If the anointment is accompanied by a sincere confession/Act of contrition,from what we know,that should be ok.

Only gay atheists?

Now can you imagine the outrage if they refused to display an ad supporting Gay Marriage?

Gay marriage isn't religious

[T Fearon]

If a bakery refuses to ice a message on a cake supporting gay marriage,and is subsequently charged with breaching equality laws,surely cinemas can be charged with discriminating against the Christian community

Not if they have a policy of not showing religious or political advertisements. Surely this ad falls within that category? For the record I'm opposed to all ads at cinemas, regardless of content.

[T Fearon]

Therefore why can't a business have a policy of not endorsing or advertising gay marriage?

[From the Bunker]

Sorry but i could not resist this worn out caption.

They can. But they'll possibly face a breach of equality legislation.

That is entirely different to a body overseeing advertisements in cinemas implementing a policy of no political/religious adverts. I'm sure a pro-gay marriage ad would likewise not be screened. Would you complain then?

yet another thread....really?
