I called in!
For the first time in my life I called into a Radio Talk Show.
Last night as I was getting ready for bed I tested my alarm clock to make sure the volume was loud enough to wake me up. For some reason I have it on 710 KIRO. Much to my surprise a liberal Radio Show was on. (I didn't think they existed..) Their guest was some Church Preacher that believed that if Jesus was alive today he would vote democrat including pro-choice and pro gay rights. What upset me was when he said "Jesus never taught that homosexuality is a sin"
My first attempt to call in worked. I have tired to call into radio shows before, usually there are busy signals and long wait times, but I only had to wait one commercial break. I think that says something to the amount of listeners he really has.
Once I got on, my first point was that not everything Jesus Taught was written down, (See the last verse in the last chapter of John.) He immediately changed his tune to “He was never quoted to saying anything about it. Which was what I was going for.
I then quoted chapter 1 verse 27 of Romans as a declaration of Homosexuality as a sin. He says I am interpreting the meaning wrong. (I should have said “Well what else does a man and a woman naturally do together, that when a man and a man do it together it is unnatural and unseemly? Seems to me they just didn’t have a good word for it in the language at the time.)
Romans Chapter 1 Verse 27:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Maybe I forgot to say the lust part..
Anyway the host then switched the topic to what are we supposed to do about gay people who have the right to marry.
I told him that if they want gay marriage then they should pass a new law allowing it.
He then told me that people didn’t get to vote on the bill of rights. ?? He quite confused me with that statement. I replied with “Actually I believe we did vote the bill of rights into law.”
The host then talked about other countries that allowed gay marriage, and so I replied again with my statement that if they want it to be laws in the US then we should put it to a vote of the people.
I was then cut off as they went into a commercial break. (That show has WAY too many breaks.. I kept my radio on for a while to see if anyone else would comment on my comments, but it was almost as if I hadn’t called in after the break.
Oh well. It was an interesting experience none the less.

Was this the first time you called in to disagree with the host?
Because most shows will actually fast-track the dissedents, moving them to the front of the list... it makes better radio to have a debate.
Right on, man, too bad the host and guest weren't there to learn anything, just spout their already god-given ideas.

The Bill of Rights was voted on and passed by the same rule any amendments must be: A full majority in 2/3 of the states. The only difference is that the Bill of Rights were included as part of the original constitution.
