If you remember me saying so before, I'm no Biblical scholar. I have not read the book cover to cover. I asked some people and tried to look it up, but I cannot find a verse where the Bible "tells" me to stone gays. There are definitely instances, mostly in the Old Testament, that gays are killed, but it doesn't command me to do so. It commands me to share the gospel with them and that is what I try to do. God will judge them, not me.
I am not aware of a team with an openly gay player on it, although I agree there are probably several out there that we don't know about. I am not purposely watching a game to see a gay guy, I'm doing it because I love the sport. That is where my money is going, to the sport. They will do with it what they please, but you are going to twist it around and try to make it look like I am being a hypocrite by saying I don't like gays but I give them money. Its not like that and nobody believes it but you. Whatever you purchase from anywhere, probably has some type of link to homosexuality to it as well, but I'm not going to accuse you of "supporting" them because I know that is not your true intention.
No I don't share any of that. The only point, THE ONLY POINT that I was trying to get across was that he was a good musician, regardless of his sexual preference. You said:now literally they don't. He doesn't write the lyrics, just the music. Please let me know if there is a way to listen to just music, with no words, and determine that it is gay. Indirectly his songs involve "queerdom," because he is a "queer" and he is singing them, yes, but I don't think that is what you were trying to say. Anyway, you have agreed with me that he's a good musician so I'm done commenting here.
Yes I have but with friends and cats, not my brother, the person whom you said you wanted to meet. I doubt we'll ever be travelling that way together, or have the time to stop, but if we do I'll try to let you know, as long as your intentions are different from yours with Elliot.

And my point is that people like you who listen to his music, and presumably buy it at some point, enable him to push his pro homosexual agenda. That is the essence of the argument. Without fans, many of whom probably consider themselves Christian, he would just be another old queer with a worn out asshole. Incidentally, if you're downloading his music, you're stealing it, which is one of the 10 commandments.
The difference between me and you, and apparently between people like me and the new form of man like yourself, is that you think your intent is the most pressing matter while I think the consequences are the most important part. You may not intend to support it, but you do. 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.'
Elton John lyrics are easy to find. I'll sample a few, you tell me if there are homosexual overtones or not.
Album name: "Goodbye yellow brick road" (an obvious reference to The Wizard of Oz/Judy Garland, someone who is loved by homos for some reason)
Song name: All the girls love Alice The intent of the song is pretty clear, wouldn't you say?
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of mummy-doesnt-love-me blues
Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldnt get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick whos just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean
All the young girls love alice
Tender young alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice its my turn today
All the young girls love alice
Tender young alice they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husbands away
Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
Its like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girls bed
And it was only last tuesday they found you in the subway dead
And who could you call your friends down in soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a go-go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh dont you know
Those are the lyrics. So you bringing up the red herring of 'gay music(instrumentals) really has nothing to do with this argument, and I believe you were being intentionally disingenious. Obviously 'music' can't be gay, but his lyrics definitely can. Not only gay, but bordering on pedophilia as well. If you want to push the point, I can go and dig some more for more gay references in his lyrics.
