Judging someone to be or not is one thing, but if they are openly homosexual, they are judging themselves unfit to lead others in the ways of rightousness.

Their character matters. If it doesn't--it should. And I can make it matter with my vote. Even if my vote is the only one.



Quit trying to be so politically correct. "Sexuality" shouldn't play into the discussion? If a person is public with their sexuality, they give others the right to have an opinion about it, and to express that opinion. If they didn't want to give others that right, they should keep it private.

Regardless, AI has always been about the whole package. Not just the singing. They have to look good, be good, and perform well on stage as well as be able to sing. If I decide to take the time to vote for someone (which is rare anyway), I will consider everything about them that concerns me.

The bible looks at both as sin.

Yes, I know.

My point was just that the existence of one doesn't indicate the other, necessarily.

True. So, what if they're openly "effeminate?"

Refresh my memory. What did he sing the first night?

I thought his rendition of Johnny Cash's RING OF FIRE was the weirdest thing I'd ever heard.

Adam has a GREAT voice... but I'd never vote for him... even if he wasn't gay and even tho he is polite. I wouldn't vote for him because he is WEIRD!

Danny is a a great example of what an AMERICAN IDOL should be. Love that guy!

If one confesses to being homosexual it is obvious. And I would similarly say that about effeminacy. If someone claims to be effeminate, it's clear. If others think they are but they deny it - it should be handled by a councelor and they should submit to instruction.

In all cases it should be treated seriously by church leadership. It is not cute or funny.

Re: Adam lambert is gay!!

I can honestly say I had no clue who Adam Lambert was nor did I care nor was I shocked.

I just wonder, are we allowing our kids to view this stuff and put idea's in their minds as to what is ok and what is normal?

We need man classes. Classes in menhood...no more men in tights. Real men! He men!

Real Men 101

1. Real men burp after eating and don't say excuse me
2. Real men do NOT go to baby showers and put balloons under their shirts and play silly games with balloons between their legs
3. Real men grow facial hair or at least only shave no more than 2 times a week
4. Real men curl their fingers into a fist to look at their nails
5. Real men go to barber shops
6. Real men don't get in touch with their feelings. That's sissy stuff
7. Real men don't sway back and forth during church services
8. Real men, and this is a doozy...real men DO NOT CRY. Suck it up! Be a man!
