Wow, the radical fundamentalists are out today. Why would I, or anyone else, have to care about what your Bible says? It means NOTHING to me. Get that through your thick heads. It means NOTHING to me, and to many, many other people. If you are so worried about others, try to feed the poor or save the children in Africa. Do something useful with yourselves rather than peeking into other people's bedrooms.

I think we have already have laws covering civil disobedience. We need to stop our legislature from fooling around with tasers,pop cans & yes gay people in churches & focus on issues like getting the smoke out of restaurants & other public facilities where second-hand smoke can kill employees and unsuspecting patrons.

Ive read all the blogs on this page, and there are threats explanations and compromises. I can only think of what my Lord would do in this matter. The story of the woman at the well comes to mind, Jesus forgave her and said go and sin no more. The Bible clearly states that Homosexualty is a sin Read 1 Cor. 6.9 Read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah God loves sinners but hates the sin. I was a sinner at one time Ive been involved with Homosexual practises. But Jesus forgave me when I repented of my sin and turned from it. I am no more living in that lifestyle. God is willing that none should parish but all repent. To thoughs of you that think that God will over look your sin when you will not turn from it and forsake it your fooling yourselfs. God will judge you, but there is hope and its your choice come to the saving knowlage of Jesus He died for you, so choise this day life or death but choise life, Just ask.

I dont agree with Scotts way of life, but like his honesty and agree with his statement. As with any group (religious, gay, whatever) you can't classify everyone in that group the same. Some people are immature about the way they express their beliefs and some have a little more decency and maturity.

Don't these people realize that they are bringing all this negative attention to themselves. Good God people, if you insist on being gay....you dont need to broadcast it. Mind your own business...as should everyone else!

One bad apple spoils the bushel. The liberals used the same technique in identifying all pro-life people as anti-choice terrorist. When the gay rights activist staged a protest in GR, they made sure that the news crews were there for the arrest of a single male walking onto campus. There was similar activities on other christian campus, but they could not get the news coverage because it was not a big deal. Because of these actions, churches are becoming a place that is becoming a warzone against terrorist. They lose their purpose when they have to protect their place of worship against disruptions.

Please don't include me with the "radicals" you speak of in your story just because I am gay. There are plenty of "radical" christian groups out there... I don't however, include the majority of christians in those groups. Just because a small number of idiots act without thinking what they are doing shouldn't label an entire group of people as believing the same. Every group has their share of trouble makers. Don't give them what they want....attention.

Most people would agree that both groups are exercising their right to free speech under protection of their First Amendment rights. However, to practice free speech upon grounds specifically owned by a religious group trying to maintain the practice of their own free speech rights, is a violation of trespass and should be protected by law enforcement. The problem of a few weeks ago is that law enforcement did not do their job and they should be publicly reprimanded for their lack of policing ability. As citizens, we are granted the right to self-protect our property and lives. If law enforcement cannot do their jobs, it is up to us to protect what belongs to us, including and especially, our lives, if they are so threatened. It is a pity that in this case, Christians allowed the protest on their private property to continue and to subject small children and senior citizens to such a traumatic experience.

This was a horrible thing that group did, but it was no more "terrorism" than the "haunted house" put on by Mount Hope Church was. Scaring the innocent. Teaching through fear. Grasping publicity no matter the measure. I have a tough time feeling sorry for the victims in this case.

This is an ACT of TERRORISIM...and The POLICE need to step it up...AND pull these terrorists off the streets..They have no right to THreaten, harrass, Attack anyone..If they cant protest in peace..Then they are committing an act of Violence towards Innocent citizens..And the State and Local police need to treat this as such.. This Type of Protest/ is occuring all over the USA, and it needs to come to an end..VOTERS in CA, voted..and They voted against GAY MARRIAGE.. Gays are free to move to another country if they dont agree with the Voters..THEY cant go and threaten to kill, or harm innocent people.

When I seen this on Fox News, what a disgrace. These people are so wacked out it isnt funny. If you want to live against the Bible you dont have to think that you are making a statement by going to where other people dont believe the way you do and act so immature. When they kissed didnt they think there were children there, and besides that I'm an adult and I dont want to see that sickening stuff either. I couldnt even stomach to watch it on tv.

All Protests on private property should be illegal Neither The right of free speech nor the right of gathering together in a group gives anyone the right to do it on other people's property If you want to speak or gather, do it on your own property or on public property Having the right of free speech does not guarentee one the right to be heard.

Fighting immoral issues is a difficult battle in today's society. If you try to welcome them and show them the wrongs in their lifestyle, you are deemed a christian fanatic. If you disagree with them in a public manner, you are deemed as intolerate and unforgiving. There is not good way to deal with people who is willing to attempt anything to show that they are normal.
