If you vote for Obama, you will burn in hell... if you don't defy a court order, God will not bless you. They turn on their own like sharks in a feeding frenzy.
Anger expressed over eHarmony decision

A well-known Christian activist says it's outrageous that the founder of the world's largest online dating site has bowed to the pressure of homosexuals.
eHarmony was founded by Dr. Neil Clark Warren who is a professing Christian. Three years ago, a homosexual filed a lawsuit claiming he was the victim of discrimination when the company refused to accept his advertisement for a same-sex partner. And now eHarmony has agreed to begin matching homosexual couples -- a decision that stemmed from the lawsuit settlement.
Dr. Ken Hutcherson is a pastor in Redmond, Washington and he is not surprised with the court's ruling against eHarmony. However, Dr. Hutcherson says eHarmony should have taken a stand.
"To bow and say okay…that is turning against God who made his business successful," he argues.
Hutcherson says it is time for Christians to take a stand. "We're simply becoming evan-jellyfish with no spiritual vertebrae…and I'm appalled, I am mad, I am frustrated. I want to fight this and that is something we need to do," he chides.
Hutcherson says the Lord will never bless a business that puts the dollar above God's word. Through a press release, eHarmony said although company officials believed the complaint resulted from an unfair characterization of their business, they ultimately decided it was best to settle the case because of the unpredictable nature of continued litigation.

| Meh. Who cares what God thinks about the court order? The owner of eHarmony should defy it because it was a poorly made legal decision. I'm still waiting for the gay dating sites to start accomodating heterosexuals.

It was a SETTLEMENT. eHarmany didn't get a court order handed down. eHarmony AGREED to those conditions.
My guess is that the founder is quite happy that it looks as if he was "forced" to accept gays. That way he can tap new sources of cash without looking as if he was catering to the "gay agenda."

I think you should go ahead and put your profile on every gay dating board in the world, Yoda. Is it OK if I post it for you?

YO: I didn't know that; that puts a different nuance on the story. I suspect that you might be right; the site owner may have been looking for a new market, while simultaneously trying to avoid offending his target audience.

Sorry, you're not masculine enough.

If I were Warren, I'd just shut the business down.
It's not about winning or losing.

Well, for those like Warren whose god is Mammon, it IS about winning or losing.

That's sad if it is the case.
