Any thoughts on the Michael Sam Kiss on ESPN...

[BeardoMSU]

Ignorance is bliss, buddy. The point I was trying to make is homophobia isn't a universal thing, that's it's culturally constructed.

Personally gay people doing intimate things (kissing, hand holding, etc.) make me uncomfortable, and I do think that ESPN has an agenda and is trying to shove it down our throats, but rather than watching it over and over then bitching about how ESPN tried to shove it down my throat, I changed the channel. Sportscenter sucks anyways, it is less about sports and more about Lebron, Manziel, and off field crap like the Clippers owner and Michael Sam.

Also, your last paragraph doesn't make any sense, I never tried to disprove any religious beliefs, please show me where I did.

How insecure are you with your own sexuality that seeing other's intimacy makes you "uncomfortable"?

I didn't feel uncomfortable about what was shown. I just thought it kind of gross. Someone said it best on the radio yesterday. Sam basically just has an ugly girlfriend, if you want to think of it that way.

I would not say "you can't get to heaven without going to church." The act of going to church isn't what saves you. It's not tithing or giving to charity or wearing the nicest outfit or singing in the choir, either. These are merely ways some people choose to honor God- even though, as you alluded to, some people seem to do them to honor themselves, wanting people to see what "good Christians" they are.

If you have a great relationship with Jesus, that's great. But if someone expressing genuine concern for you is an example of what is wrong with church, I don't know what to tell you.

I genuinely appreciate your concern. I just wanted to give you some feedback. Its completely up to you how you use it.

Ok, that's funny. Look, I'm not a fan of PDA either, but seeing two men kiss (and when I say kiss, they basically "pecked" each other pretty quick) is no more annoying than watching anyone else. The mashing cake on each other's face was gross, but only because I hate watching people play with their food....

Coming from you, Bully, that made me laugh. Thanks.

Back to this huh? Name calling and assuming intellectual superiority over anyone of faith. I see you just completely ignored the fact that someone who is more intelligent than you is also a believer.

Don't you know the left is always right?
They can't have a conversation without degrading the other side. It's the leftist playbook.
Why can't they disagree with someone without calling them names? I thought they were for tolerance...

This is true.

[BeardoMSU]

This is true.

Ah, so Ennis calling someone a name is now "the leftist playbook"? Also, I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of names from the other side thrown around too, maybe not on this thread, but definitely on the political board (Bully13 is certainly guilty of this). Get real, guys.

this is worse than a group text message that wont go away .... somebody kill this thread and put it out of it's misery
