4. Well someone was sure intelligent enough to design things so my
Tab A would fit into his Slot B. Guess they knew I was going to be born in such a way so that would come in handy one day.

Seems pretty intelligent to me.

6. To them it's a 'choice' to live an 'aberrant' lifestyle.
Nothing genetic about it, in the Fundie frame of mind.

7. Fundies say God created all of us.
If thats so, and he created homosexuals too, then it must stand to reason that God is quite fond of gay folk because he continues to make so many of them. And they are all over everywhere.

That must be a bummer for the fundies.

8. "Oddly Enough"
Not sure whether they have it in the science books today, but never in my schooling, that there are some critters in nature who are able to still change their sex today! Also that many can propagate without the aid of sexual contact! Every science book in every high school should have a chapter on this phenomena so one can give some real thought to a changing world!

9. They see them as violating the intelligent designer's design
Putting things in the wrong hole. Funny how much they focus on putting things in holes.

Personally, I wanna know how proponents of ID explain the appendix. An organ that serves no function, but can kill you if it breaks down. Doesn't seem all that intelligent a design to me.

11. Appendicitis Is Punishment
That is why God put it there.
To punish sinners.

10. They just pretend that homosexuals don't really exist... that they can &
should change with training.

Scarry eh? When the right wing religious start denying the existance of stuff that can be proven.

12. If homosexuality is an "abomination"...doesn't that imply that God...
made a mistake?

I wonder how the fundies would explain that one away...

13. Lutheran Church Missouri Synod
I'm excommunicate. Should I attempt to take communion, I become a prospect for formal excommunication. Half of my family pretends the threat doesn't exist and the other half are at the position I am, where you walk away from the church entirely.
