I find it equally offensive. It ignores the ugly, like somehow god doesn't cause, let it happen. But if that's true how can god be omnipotent, and it also ignores all the uglyness of the bible.

I dislike it because, as you said, not only does it ignore the ugly, but it also implies everything, a book, for example, is good because of god. No, it's good because the author is talented, or had a neat, creative idea. Some things are intrinsically good, not good because a being makes it so. Still, I find that slightly better than a blabbermouth screaming about sin and raptures and such.

Part of me wants to call Poe, but... I would have been a dick and replied with, "That's right, girl! NO gay person in history has EVER had straight brothers and sisters to carry on the family bloodline!"

Plus, who gives a shit if you carry on the family bloodline? To me, life's just about being happy with the ones you love. You don't have to reproduce to be happy.

If you're Orson Scott Card, you most certainly do.

That's right about gay people though. Because there are homosexuals in our mists, people everywhere have stopped having babies.

Good luck with that. Some of us have guns, too.
