		<description>It seems like this forum is merely devolving into a general discussion of religious beliefs and moral persuasions rather than a discussion about Tommy Davis and his refusal to answer a simple question.
Could we get back on-topic?
People discussing whether they are pro-gay, anti-gay, is all good and fine, but there is no resolution here, because these are personal beliefs. 
However, Sci-cult-ology is about manipulation, deceit, subjection of women AND men, coercion, violence, criminal behavior, propaganda, corruption, deception, etc and etc.
Did y&#039;all watch the spin master Tommy Davis?  What a little snake.  Of course he refused to answer any question of merit.  This guy is another Joseph Goebbels.  

To you patriots out there:  we went to war and lost a lot of good men because of a monster named Hitler, and his moutpiece, Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda.  Without Goebbels, Hitler could not have decieved the people.  I urge you all out there to take a good, carefull look at photographs of Goebbels.  It there is a Satan out there, you can look through Goebbels eyes, and see him, quietly observing you.

When you think of true evil, consider what Tommy Davis is doing to spread lies, fear, disease, ignorance, and, of course, blind obedience.

KrystalNacht can happen again and again and again.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilence.  Tommy Davis would have you turn your back on truth, and accept lies.
The Sci-cult-ologists will say I am full of it, that they are do-gooders engaged in worldwide goodwill projects.  Sure they are.  Just like Exxon is our buddy, just like Archer Daniels Midlands, and Monsanto, and Phillip Morris are our good good friends, just because they say so...

You know, you want to trick the people, then fake them out by patting them on the back while you pick their pocket.  Wolf in sheep&#039;s clothing.

You want to be sued, harrassed, publically smeared, have your business destroyed, get arrested for defamation, get physically threatened, receive death threats, have your children and your wife followed, have blood thrown on your door... then put your legal name and street address on your negative Sci-cult-ology reply, and post it.  Soon, your life will be a living hell as the Sci-cult-ology secret police start working on you.

You folks have no idea.  This is about murder, rape, torture, violence, coruption, and money, NOT ABOUT GAYS or homosexuality, or religion at all.
This is about a sickness that has occured under our noses, because it has big money behind it, money to buy goons who will physically coerce you into backing down.

You American patriots out there - you better be scared - Hitler lives and walks in this land of the so-called free, and we stare and do nothing because he gives us candy (good works projects) here and there, while he quietly destroys what we lived and died for (freedom).

So, can we get back on-topic, please, and discuss the issue at hand?
And, no, I would not advise anyone to publically voice their views against Sci-cult-ology, unless you have your own private security army.  So, keep your names and numbers to yourself, unless you wish to die, slowly, piece by piece, as Tommy &#039;Goebbels&#039; Davis and his band of violent, brainwashed subjects hunt you down, and destroy you.

Be afraid, be very afraid.
Be free, America, stand up and call Sci-cult-ology by its real name.</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t read every single word of every single comment here, but goodness me, what an interesting world we live in.  As my mother used to say, those who get into Scientology, go around and around like the ball beerings in a wheel.  But as you become more aware of yourself, your round edges begin to rub off and you come more square. You eventually leave as your not getting out of Scientology what you were when you first got into it.  Although the circumstances behind all these comments here are completely different from other circumstances that have caused people to leave or stay over the years (disagreements with this or that).  We all have our individual points of views and its one of the virtues that makes us human.  For those of you who have left, well done.  For those of you who are still on the fense, how about it?  For those who think its the right place to be.  Take your time, you will eventually come to realize who you really are.</description>

		<description>I do not claim that all people who are against gay marriage are hateful.  Most of them aren&#039;t hateful, they&#039;re stupid.  Why do so many people believe that marriage is solely a religious union. First and formost, marriage was a social union that has existed loooooong before any judeo-christian religion came into existence.  The word &quot;marriage&quot; in it&#039;s most basic form simply means a union between two parties.  Just because the word means something to you doesn&#039;t make it the same for everybody.  
If you have a problem with people using the word marriage for a homosexual union, it just means you&#039;re too stupid to understand that you and your religion have no claims on the word.  If you have a problem with homosexual unions altogether, your a stupid imbecile who assumes that their choice of religion is the correct one and all others are doomed despite the fact that you have no more proof than anyone else.  
If you hate gay people then you can just avoid them and noone will care.  However, if you&#039;re a self-righteous, arrogant asshole who believes that they somehow have the right to tell other people how they must live their life, then you&#039;re delusional and need to realize that YOU&#039;RE NOT GOD.  Live your own life the way you will, and allow others to live theirs.  If you truly believed what you preached you wouldn&#039;t feel the need to preach it as you would know that your god would judge everyone accordingly in the end.  Your only reason for condemning others&#039; way of life is the smug sense of satisfaction you get from your feelings of moral superiority.  Shut up about your beliefs and morals, they&#039;re not going to change anyone else&#039;s.</description>

		<description>I think it is simple. God created gay men and women so therefore why would he not endorse there marriage. To do so would deny the very creature he made. Why would he design a person to be in direct conflict with his will? He didn&#039;t. We need to stop the witch hunts!!!</description>

		<description>Gay men and women have a right to marry whomever they want.  No one should stick their nose in their business and say otherwise.  Religion has nothing to do with it.  How many straight Christian people go to church on Sunday and cheat on their spouses, harm their children, etc.  I&#039;m not gay but I do know what it&#039;s like when people think they can take away my human rights.  Mind your business and let others be happy in their lives in freedom and happiness.</description>

		<description>Careful Jeff Hart, post 183, the sense you make may infirnge on some peoples right to inerpret the bible in a specific way that benifits and profits them the most. And we all know how &quot;un-American&quot; that would be!!!

I just wanna say that some people are sinners and are going to hell for their sins, and but I&#039;m not going to hell for my sins because I can pray to Jesus for forgiveness and God will forgive me, but if those other sinners pray to Jesus for forgiveness he won&#039;t save them because they&#039;re sins were really bad, worse than my sins and they really didn&#039;t mean they were sorry, but I really did mean it eventhough I am gettin another DIVORCE because it just didn&#039;t work out with us and God understands and he wouldn&#039;t want me to be unhappy in a marriage eventhough God says what I have joined together, let no man put asunder, but he really didn&#039;t mean if you accidentally marry the wrong person a couple times....
What?....Who wants to have their cake and to eat it too???</description>

		<description>It is so sad to hear all of these negative and in some cases, hateful comments against gay marriage and against gays.

People call their opposition to gay marriage as merely a justified opinion. But how can denying any group of people equal rights be dismissed as being just a justified opinion? Is denying the right to vote to African Americans and women a justified opinion that should be respected? No, and I am pretty sure most if not all on this blog and everywhere else would condemn those who advocated discrimination against African Americans, women or any other ethnic or racial group. Why can&#039;t we extend this compassion and respect for gay people? Have we learned nothing from history?

Some have argued that some gay people are opposed to gay marriage so that is a reason to oppose gay marriage. Well, many straight people have publicly spoken out against straight marriage as well - does this mean we should abolish marriages between men and women? Many whites and blacks have opposed interracial marriage. In fact, one year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned legal obstacles to interracial marriage, most Americans were opposed to interracial marriage. Many thought that bi-racial or multi-racial children would be hated by both or all races because they didn&#039;t belong exclusively to one race. Today, no one speaks out against interracial couples, well, at least not publicly.

And then there are those who say that gay marriage should be put to a vote. Well, should interracial marriage be put to a vote? Should straight marriage be put to a vote? Should the civil rights of women be put to a vote? Should the religious rights of Jews or Muslims or Christians be put to a vote? People argue that if the majority of people vote against gay marriage, then that is democracy at work. No, a true democracy recognizes the rights of its citizens and does not decide civil rights by a popular vote. I don&#039;t think any of you - regardless of what ethnic, racial, gender, religious or political group you belong to - would want your rights  to be put to a vote. Democratically elected discrimination is not legitimate discrimination. There are societies today that would vote against equal rights for women - many for what they claim are purely religious reasons. Does that mean that they are justified in denying women equal rights? No way.

Then there are those who claim that homosexuality is a behavior, which can be changed; therefore, you can&#039;t compare it to race or gender, which can&#039;t be changed. Well, interracial marriage is a behavior that can be changed. Straight marriage can be changed. Religion can be changed. You can convert from one religion to another or to no religion. So, should laws against Christians, Jews or Muslims be adopted simply because you can avoid the discrimination of these laws simply be changing to the acceptable religion? How many of you who claim to be Christians would accept that? Also, gender can be changed - you can have a sex-change operation. Chastity Bono (Cher&#039;s daughter has done it as well as many others). Skin color can be lightened (Michael Jackson did it). Science, medicine and technology are coming to the point where almost anything can be changed. So if you want to avoid religious or gender discrimination, simply change your religion or gender. Does that make sense? No, so why do you justify discrimination against gay people?

And those of you who claim to be Christians really don&#039;t know anything about true Christianity. True Christianity or true religion brings people together. It fosters love, respect and compassion among all humans. We are all God&#039;s children and when we treat each other with love and kindness, we are closer to God. Aren&#039;t you happy when your children love each other? Are you happy when your children hate and denigrate each other? No, so why do you believe that God and Jesus want you to hate and discriminate against gays who are also God&#039;s children?

Do you know that religious fanatics in other nations are using Americans&#039; hatred and discrimination against gays to justify their mistreatment of women? Some fanatic Muslim groups argue that since Christian groups are not comfortable with gays and that most U.S. jurisdictions don&#039;t allow gay marriage, why should they allow equal rights for women? Of course, Muslims who deny rights to women are not real Muslims in the same way that Christians who deny rights to gays are not real Christians. Any one who denies rights to a group of people who are not hurting anyone does not have a true relationship with God.

By denying equal rights to gays, we as Americans cannot claim to be a true democracy; therefore, we have no moral right to tell other nations to respect and treat their minorities with compassion when we don&#039;t do the same. Did you know that many Europeans have legalized gay marriage and others are in the process of legalizing it? Did you also know that South Africa (the nation known for its racial apartheid in the past) legalized gay marriage in 2006? That&#039;s right, the U.S. is falling behind as a democracy. What a shame.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is so sad to hear all of these negative and in some cases, hateful comments against gay marriage and against gays.</p>
<p>People call their opposition to gay marriage as merely a justified opinion. But how can denying any group of people equal rights be dismissed as being just a justified opinion? Is denying the right to vote to African Americans and women a justified opinion that should be respected? No, and I am pretty sure most if not all on this blog and everywhere else would condemn those who advocated discrimination against African Americans, women or any other ethnic or racial group. Why can&#8217;t we extend this compassion and respect for gay people? Have we learned nothing from history?</p>
<p>Some have argued that some gay people are opposed to gay marriage so that is a reason to oppose gay marriage. Well, many straight people have publicly spoken out against straight marriage as well &#8211; does this mean we should abolish marriages between men and women? Many whites and blacks have opposed interracial marriage. In fact, one year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned legal obstacles to interracial marriage, most Americans were opposed to interracial marriage. Many thought that bi-racial or multi-racial children would be hated by both or all races because they didn&#8217;t belong exclusively to one race. Today, no one speaks out against interracial couples, well, at least not publicly.</p>
<p>And then there are those who say that gay marriage should be put to a vote. Well, should interracial marriage be put to a vote? Should straight marriage be put to a vote? Should the civil rights of women be put to a vote? Should the religious rights of Jews or Muslims or Christians be put to a vote? People argue that if the majority of people vote against gay marriage, then that is democracy at work. No, a true democracy recognizes the rights of its citizens and does not decide civil rights by a popular vote. I don&#8217;t think any of you &#8211; regardless of what ethnic, racial, gender, religious or political group you belong to &#8211; would want your rights  to be put to a vote. Democratically elected discrimination is not legitimate discrimination.
