I would not buy this book. However, I do not believe in banning any book, no matter how distasteful.

Why should the land of homophobes ban such a book anyway?

Both good points.


I share both views. If someone soesn't want to read the book, don't. Censorship is not a good policy.

NO--I think this is a shining example of free speech being upheld, because I don't think anyone has the right to ban the book, and I think it's hate speech too. I don't think I have the right to determine what values another family follows, unless it starts to step all over MY rights (or someone elses). That's where the line has to be drawn in a free society.

This is all I needed to read. If, on the other hand, they are promoting this book, then I would have a little problem. But that's just my opinion. Furthermore, I HATE Walmart and wish the Waltons would choke on their caviar for destroying small towns all across this country. There, I feel better.

Don't like the book?

Don't buy it.

Do these so called Christians really believe this is what Jesus wanted? Oh well, you can't fix stupid!
so, you read the book?
If not then why are you posting such a factual statement about a book.
And, yes, Jesus would want parents to teach their kids that homosexuality is wrong

Andrew says he is shedding light on the “deceitful and predatory nature of the ‘gay’ lifestyle
did they say to him: "hey buddy, lets go do it god's way!" and then drug him
or did their gaydar just beep with great intensity and then they led him through his gay initiation, which he gladly welcomed?
