Is Sponge-Bob Square Pants a 'gay' symbol?

I'm wondering what animation studio or syndicated comic strips encouraged and promoted homosexuality among the children and adults as described in the time of the Bible.

Alley Oop or B.C. perhaps?

I knew you would bring that up sooner or later...

According to the writers of the cartoon, "tolerance and diversity" among family units is the message they were trying to get across...

Tolerance suggesst "putting up" with something....and has nothing to do with "love"...

Diversity suggests "same sex parenting".

So the message is "you need to put up with same sex parenting".

This kind of parenting will mess up kids...

No child should have to grow up in a home with two same sex parents...

Little children are "innocent" and "alive in Christ" and "of such is the kingdom of Heaven" according to the words of Christ...

Christ, if no one else, is the one parents will have to answer to ...

It really does not concern me, but if I were in a child care type government position, I would never allow a child to be subject to same sex parenting...

Cartoons and other media presentations suggesting "diversity" (same sex arenting) should be "tolerated" (put up with), is unacceptable to me...

Little children should not be subject to this type of parenting...

It's not healthy...

Homosexuality should not be an example to young children....

Practice it in private, not as an example for young children..

Christ would say the same thing if he were here...
Diversity suggests that there are more types of families out there than mum, dad and 2.4 children. Children that live with their grandparents, single parent families, foster families, adopted families - some with children from different racial backgrounds than their adoptive parents - families with NO parents where siblings are raised by older siblings.
On another note,how presumtuous does a person have to be to think they know the inside out of the mind of a being powerful enough to have created everything and are fit to speak on that being's behalf, based on how they interpret a book that was written by men, for men - no matter by who or what it was 'inspired' - and has been subject to butchery, mistranslation and misinterpretation for it's entire existence, usually based on the 'agendas' of the people who screwed around with it?
I am honestly in awe of all the people who know the mind of God. Unfortunately it's not the good sort of awe.
It's no wonder God never comes out and says anything anymore...he can't speak around all the words other people keep shoving in his mouth.:sarcastic

We live in an unhealthy sexual society....

SpongeBob is just an example of that. An outward character, representing an inward unhealthy society..
Have you actually ever watched a single Spongebob cartoon, or is this another one of those,'I've never read a single Harry Potter book, but I know they're inherently evil', things?
The closest he's ever come to anything approaching something sexual was when he took Pearl Krabbs to the prom. Of course, I can see how it's unhealthy, what with obviously encouraging relationships between different kinds of people, and OMG, the whale has a crab for a father.:cover: A CRAB!It's unnatural and wrong, I tells ya!
Honestly, you start tolerating anything that isn't 'normal', then kids might be encouraged not to make other kiddies playground experiences miserable by pointing out in a not nice way that they have no father, or no mother, or no parents at all, or they're obviously adopted so they're not part of a 'real' family.
It's that sort of tolerance of diversity that'll take us straight to hell.:rolleyes:

Mr. Squarepants is very, very, very, gay… In the joyful sense... I love his cartoons though… it’s so funny and have good meanings… some may say I am childish for watching it... I don't care...

Same sex parenting creates unhealthy sexually oriented kids, based on what I've personally observed to be true...

Then to use that same logic ... since I was raised by a loving Mother and Dad, and I turned out gay, then opposite sex parenting must create unhealthy sexually oriented kids! And your term 'unhealthy' is demeaning, biased and extremely hateful when applied in this context. I think Spongebob is a better example of humanity than many of the posters I've seen here. :shrug:

Homosexuality is a "psycological" stuggle of identity and purpose, as well as a struggle aginast the sin of lusting after one's own kind. It is not the sole adventure of the parents that affect this, but the mediums (pornography, television, friends and family, sexual experinces) that affect one's sexuality. Objects of the world usually influence the developement of our children, whether for the better, or worse.

Homosexuality is a sexual preference and it has been going on long before the invention of television, the media or even the study of psychology. It is not a disorder, a DISease or a sin.

Might I add that it has been going on long before Christians arrived on the scene. There is no more contentious or argumentative bunch that we Christians. That is a fact recognized long ago. And I quote: Christians, needless to say, utterly detest one another; they slander each other constantly with the vilest forms of abuse, and cannot come to any sort of agreement in their teaching. Each sect brands its own, fills the head of its own with deceitful nonsense. --Celsus (178 AD)

Homosexuality has nothing to do with any struggle of identity or purpose. It may be a part of a person's identity, but that's it. In fact, homosexuality isn't any sort of a "psychological struggle" at all. It's merely an affectional orientation. The only psychological struggle that results from being a homosexual comes from having to deal with bigots and the ignorant.

I just can't even believe that there is actually some controversy over this.:rolleyes:
Yeah, this thead has kept going for some reason..

There may be more people experiencing same sex attraction than previously thought.

Same sex or bi-sexual attraction may become the norm or maybe already is, just people are hiding it well...

Perhaps in a society with no pressures to conform to traditional gender roles, most (or maybe just half) people would be bi-sexual, to some extent.

Yeah, sorry for offending, just learning how to better understand how to take on this issue without offending...

Everyone on the forum seems normal to me, we're just a little different in our likes and dislikes...

I think the hate and bigotry you feel from a person such as myself, comes from many who feel like they might get caught up in that lifestyle, and it scares a lot of us, so we choose to say things which may come across as hateful and bigoted, which sort of seals the deal as far as not getting involved with anyone in that lifestyle...

Can't say that I've ever had any thoughts of being attracted to the same sex, but it could happen to anyone regardless of their original attractions to the opposite sex,

Sorry if I've come across as bigoted, just a scarey thing for me, homosexuality...very scarey...not the people, but the lifestyle..

You have to forgive okay ???

I'll try to do better in the future with this subject...

I agree...I've noticed more people moving away from opposite sex attraction and moving more towards same sex attraction....
