MODERN FAMILY ad in email

I was disgusted, to say the least, about an ad that came in my email concerning a new TV show called MODERN FAMILY. It is about three modern families, including a homosexual couple of men with a BABY!

Supposed to be a comedy. Too vile to be funny.

First laughter, then the shock is gone, then consideration, then acceptance. Same trend over and over. Laughter works.

Homosexuals raising children doesn't bother me near as much as heterosexuals who don't take care of theirs.

I think that both would be equally bad.

My husband was commenting on the show, as we heard about it. He said, "When the Lord comes back, I don't think a lot of people are going to notice anyone is gone."

Oh yes, it bothers me a lot worse. It changes paradigms. Let's deal with one mess, not one and a brand-new one.

Re: MODERN FAMILY ad in email

I guess it doesn't bother me as much because I realize that MOST homos don't flaunt their lifestyle like we see so often on TV and such. Most of them live as the rest of us. They are loving, caring, intelligent, and hard working individuals. If they want to take unwanted children or children who's own parents cannot care for them and raise them to be worthwhile individuals that society would be proud of, I'm all for it.

Oh, and 'studies' (whatever those are) have already proven that children of homosexual parents are less likely to be homos than children from hetero parents.

Re: MODERN FAMILY ad in email

My friend recently left her Lutheran church where she had been raised because they have a new stand on homosexuals being licensed to pastor. It is now allowed in the Lutheran church.

Lori is a pediatrician and was very involved with the children of her church. She called me one day to talk about this homosexual issue. It was bothering her already. But when I said to her, "So what will you say to a child in your Sunday School class who tells you that he has two mommies at home?", that was the straw that broke the camel's back. She could not bring herself to say to the child that that is ok. But she's also not going to be allowed to tell him that it is sin. So what could she do?

It's sad that this has infiltrated even the churches like this. I can see the Methodist church being the next to fall. Someone told me that there is a division of the Mennonite Church that already says it is acceptable to be homosexual. I don't know that for a fact tho.

I cannot bring myself to watch TV shows that condone this life-style. I won't even watch Rosie O'Donnell or Ellen DeGenerous. I'm sorry, but I just find their lifestyle to be nauseating.

Homosexuality is a sin, I agree, and I also don't care to watch programs that have anything to do with that lifestyle. I don't watch sitcoms with gay portrayals of people either.

I thought the same thing when I saw the previews on ABC. I said to my wife, "See there... the modern family always has to have a <<gay couple>>." It's despicable the lengths that the mainstream media and unholywood will go to promote their agenda that the homosexual lifestyle is normal and acceptable. If every family has one on television, how long before we start to realize how abnormal we all are because we are heterosexual and raising our heterosexual son to honor God in all his ways.
