it is a proven scientific fact that since the Bible was taken out of schools people have gotten dumber, if you don't believe me look it up. Lol.

While I may not 100% agree with everything the family has to say about the topic of the LGBT community and marriage equality, I do respect the fact that that's their beliefs and they are obviously going to express those beliefs when asked. I've never heard it discussed on the show, so cancelling the show makes zero sense to me. They aren't the only people with those beliefs and ideals, so it's not like cancelling the show will silence anyone. Condemning the Duggars for having their ideals, beliefs and lifestyle is doing exactly the same thing that people are accusing them of doing. They have an opinion. It's a personal opinion and choice for themselves and their family. They'll vote and discuss and do what they feel is right exactly the same way that the opposition will do. There's no reason to "shut down" either side. Let those for marriage equality say what they have to say and let those with opposing beliefs say what they have to say. Let ALL opinions be heard and let people decide for themselves.

Where are all the Men??? It makes me sad to see that there aren't more "men" standing up for what is right and supporting our fellow man (Jim Bob). Men have been dumbed down to nothing more then womanizing drunken football watching morons. Wake up guys! Take responsibility and lead your family. Raise your girls up to have self respect and desire a relationship with God not boys. Raise up your boys to be men who know how to love God and will love their wives as the Bible commands. Put away pornography and pick up the Word of God. Love your wife more than work, play..... We cast blame on this group and that group, but we are responsible for our self and our family. "LOVE" is God's #1 commandment.

A right to force everyone to accept a new and false definition of marriage does not exist and it is wrong to portray such a right as "the same basic rights of any other person."
Nobody has the right to force everyone else via means of the state to accept a fake definition of marriage.

I took the statement you are referring to, to mean that men should not be able to use the women's bathroom. She said nothing about the individual actually being transgender. Rather she was referring to a sex offender posing as a woman to gain access to a restroom where women and children drop their pants for them. I feel this is a case of someone turning her words into something she didn't actually say because that would help their cause. If you read the words she actually said, I think you would agree with me that she was not attacking gays... I agree that if you are a man, you use the men's bathroom.

" LGBT community trying to force everyone to accept them": what is exactly so hard to accept? you have a minority group who simply ask the same basic rights as any other citizen, nothing more, nothing less. And equating, as Michelle did, an LGBT to a sex offender is basically heinous and not part of my family values.

No one ever stated that transgender individuals were pedophiles. Get the facts straight. The issue was raised over whether or not individuals who are pedophiles would claim to be transgendered to get access to possible victims.

"not spreading hate"
Saying that "gay" marriage is not legit or that God has a moral standard for sexuality is not hate. Not at all.
"trip away our basic right..."
I think you are referring to an imaginary right to coerce other people into believing that a fraudulent non-marriage is a real marriage via means of the state.
There is no such right. Nobody has a "right" to have a not-marriage (two of the same gender) recognized by anybody else.
The idea that stating a clear moral standard is in-and-of-itself hatred is silly.

If you, as you claim, are not trying to shove your beliefs down our throats, then why do you 1- keep replying and 2- scream about there not being a God. Sweetheart, for those who believe no proof is necessary. For those who don't, no proof is possible.You keep calling us, the Christian community all kinds of names, and you don't spread hate???? Please. Nice try.

GOD inspired man to write the Bible - the Living Words of God will NEVER change. THAT is why there will always be more Christians than not. Except, soon Jesus will take many of us home to heaven, and the world will not have any spiritual conscience to guide them. Soon, you will have about 3.5 years to be led by the antichrist. Then Jesus will come back, toss the most evil into the pit of hell, and Jesus will rule the world for a thousand years. Soon, you will know the truth!!!

Bud you have it so backwards. First quit taking what everyone says to heart, second read the new testament. Third I dont believe in gay marriage. God spoke against it in the old testament, and paul spoke against it in the new testament. Does this mean I hate you? No. I simply don't agree. Theirs stuff in the bible I may not necessarily like, but I know it as the truth and I try to do my best to live in the spirit and not in the flesh.
