---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi John I'll be happy to take the heat for agreeing with you 100% and am also = tired of feeling like I must remain silent when the politically correct p= ost something offensive to me and then feign offense when I disagree. In= fact it's as if I didn't have the right to disagree. Somethings upside d= own. Traditional historical morals(biblical or otherwise),virtue, manners= and unconditional Love should always be in vogue and not something to sc= off at. =20 Content on the road less traveled by. With Rrespect ---Dale Erwin =20 ----- Original Message ----- From: John M. Formsma Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 8:33 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: RE: "Gay clientele" was RE: Erard Grand Piano =20 <<John, Let's learn, have a little fun and leave the moralistic rhetoric = for another audience. You have a right to believe as you wish , but for one, = I don't feel it's appropriate on this list.>> This is a two way street. If others will refrain from posting things like Seinfeld's "moralistic rhetoric," then I will refrain from responding to = it. Neither statement should be on Pianotech. Remember, it is just as inconsiderate for one to post a pro-homosexuality statement as it is for another to post a statement against it. There are several (maybe many) on the list who hold to the high standards of morality on which our nation w= as originally founded. As much as some are offended by my posting, remember that others may likewise be offended by Seinfeld's morality. Is it permissible to ask that *our* standards not be assaulted as we watch them daily fade away? Must we silently endure the erosion of virtue while othe= rs are given the media "megaphone" to promote their decadent views? Have we = no voice, or must we always yield to those who are louder, more visible, and more vociferous? I say nay. <<What it is, frankly, is bigotry....>> It is not bigotry to believe strongly about righteousness. For example, I= am not bigoted against murderers if I state that murder is wrong. Nor am I bigoted to state that bestiality is wrong. Both are wrong, and the reason that they are wrong is not because I say so, but because our Creator said so. We have to go back to the source of righteousness to find the standar= ds of righteousness, and that ultimately leads to God. It does not really matter what you or I think, but what God thinks. God made Adam and Eve, n= ot Adam and Steve. The Bible has numerous other clear examples of God's thoughts on this issue. <<...not just the people you hate>> It does not follow that I hate homosexuals anymore than it could be said that I hate murderers because I believe murder is wrong. I do not hate anyone. I do not have that right. I treat all human beings with respect. = I would be glad to help anyone leave homosexuality just as I would be glad = to help anyone leave a lifestyle of adultery or fornication. People are peop= le, but people are responsible *creat*ures before their *Creat*or. John M.
