    no Joe, maybe you need to believe something else but the act of homosexual sex is a sin.

    It does not mean that those choosing homosexual sex cannot be forgiven once they stop engaging in the homosexual sex act.

    No true Christian can condone the act of homosexual sex. It is no different than stealing. It cannot be condoned. Stop stealing, live a crime free life, pray for forgiveness and all is forgiven. But, do not continue stealing, or having homosexual sex and think all is forgiven. You can pray for the strength to stop having gay sex, but until such time as you stop, you go against the Christian faith.

    You can talk about "tolerant" Christians all that you want. They go against the faith. True Christians will pray for homosexuals to find the strength to live a normal sex life.

    I wonder what the schools ban has to do with a student's or staff's intelligence, their level of education, or anything of the sort.

    The war on homosexuality from the right continues... to fall apart.

    Surely you must see that's entirely irrelevant. Does the education prepare them for the sort of things bar-associated lawyers need to do? If yes, allow them. If not, don't.

    The same could be said of the school. Is the student academically/intellectually prepared for the sort of things lawyers need to do? If yes, allow them. Sexual preference seems irrelevant in that regard.

    I don't understand your complaint.

    Since same sex marriage is legal in many states, this institution is asking its students to sign a pledge that would be against the law in all of those states.

    And you're going to teach law to these people?

    ALERT: Another Christian bashing thread. If you hate Christians and want to spew your venom, this is the right place for you.

    I believe the left has shown great Tolerance of the right; especially without any morals tests even if on a for-profit basis under our form of Capitalism. Only bad Capitalists limit themselves to drug tests.

    When is the right going to sign a Covenant recognizing that the abomination of hypocrisy is worse than even a crack addiction.

    We have a McCarthy era phrase in our pledge. There is no reason to indulge the moral turpitude of bearing false witness to our own laws.

    Our supreme law of the land is more supreme than any commanments of Religion.

    You're missing (or should I say evading) my point.

    It is irrelevant that you personally don't consider Christians who don't share your views on homosexuality as "True Christians". They consider themselves Christian and everyone else considers them Christian. If there were a "war on Christianity", they would be targets along with you.

    Again, rules and laws against discrimination on grounds of sexuality don't impact everyone commonly considered Christians and do impact many people who aren't Christian at all. This would be a poor tool to attack Christians with. They're generally introduced by people who consider themselves Christian (certainly in the USA) so any "war on Christianity" would be a civil war and you should be looking internally rather than moaning about stuff like this.

    Of course, that would presume that you're really interested in defending Christianity rather than just attacking homosexuality.

    There is no basis to take Persons of Religion seriously, even if about the greater glory of our immortal souls, if they refuse to submit to a morals test under our form of Capitalism since we know drugs tests are useless regarding the abomination of hypocrisy. I believe Job 34:30 applies to Persons of Religion whenever they may claim to be serious about a serious relationship with their god(s).

    The same "Christian beliefs" condemn by the pain of physical death and spiritual eternal damnation for a host of regular acts.

    But so many of so-called "Conservatives" support the hatred of homosexuality are happy to love the huge numbers of other damnations these so-called "Christians" enjoy, support and demand on every one else.

    These hypocrites are quite welcome to any whacky and BS bigotry they wish to enjoy for themselves.

    But there is not a single reason American law and education spend one second involved on public discourse or this kind of BS.

    Dave, you can fiddle around with your interpretation all that you want.

    No Christian condones the act of homosexual sex.

    We're not talking about condemning a people because they are short or tall.

    We're talking about an activity much like any activity be it excessive drinking, stealing etc. Engaging in homosexual sex is an activity and frowned upon by Christians as taught to us in the Bible.

    Good Christians do pray that homosexuals find their way back to normal sex lives, stop engaging in deviant sex, and will gladly embrace them into the faith.

    We pray that a man or woman will find the strength to understand and get help for the psychological issue which clouds their thinking that homosexual sex is OK and normal.

    a Christian cannot engage in homosexual sex. You need to get your facts correct. One who engages in homosexual sex, and claims to be Christian is sadly mistaken.

    It's like a murderer or thief claiming to be Christian. Until you stop the immoral acts, you aren't Christian.

    And spare me the faux outrage of .............."you're saying homosexual sex is equal to murder" because I've done no such thing

    sure they can, you need to get your facts straight, there are many homosexual Christians out there.....

    many married in a church under God, therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate

    You're lying by omission. I'm pretty sure that's a sin too.

    A Christian such as yourself may bitterly condemn homosexuals at every turn but thankfully they are a tiny minority viewpoint. As for the Law school... Everyone is entitled to equal treatment under the Law. How can a lawyer coming from such a discriminatory background provide this?

    again the false talking point.

    engaging in homosexual sex is immoral. Once those actions cease, then there is no problem.

    It's not like being against a tall or short people. The issue is the homosexual-sex act.

    You can try and claim that one can't help themselves from having homosexual sex but that would be like saying one can't stop smoking or stop stealing.

    Sometimes it is difficult to stop bad habits or behaviors but that does not mean it's impossible. If one chooses a life of homosexual sex, or stealing, cheating etc, then one has turned their back on God. It does not mean that you can't repent but at that point in your life, you are not a Christian.
