The morally oppressed or is that repressed, have decided that our "Alternative lifestyle" use of the Rainbow was stolen from them. I can't make this up people.

I don't think their plan is going to work.

We could always trade it back in exchange for being treated with respect like human beings.

Oh my god, aren't they just so adorable?  Ha!  Oh, I love these wacky conspiracy nuts and their persistent persecution complex.. it is amazing how bad they think they actually have it in this society.  Oh I could go on for pages regarding these sort of people.. I'll leave it for yahoo news, instead of offending the good people of this sub forum.

The rainbow? "With different colors"?!??  I think they just described flags in general.  Damn those countries, appropriating the Chrstia (?!??) Rainbow with different colors!

Apple 'stole' it before we did, maybe they should get on their case too.

The community actually did steal the rainbow from God.

[Raell]

LOL!

Ignore them. Rainbows occur in nature.
People can't copyright them unless they are used in a special trademark design, like the Apple symbol.

Much of Christianity was stolen from someone else.  For example, the ark was "borrowed" from the Babylonians, not to mention Christmas, which was a hijacked "pagan" festival.  Christianity has a long history of stealing from others.

So we stole the rainbow and they want it back?  Too bad!  The rainbow looks good on me!

Reminds me of the time a few years ago when vapid celebrity-for-no-reason Paris Hilton filed a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a commercial trademark on the word "hot."  Application denied.  You don't hear much about Paris Hilton anymore, do you?

And some of you guys wonder why Christians have an issue with you. Stuff like that, personally it offends that the lgbt community took the rainbow, you took it and twisted the whole meaning.

Let me clarify something, the lgbt community twisted the whole meaning, that was my point and this is why alot of Christians have an issue with you guys, I don't recall Christianity ever stealing something and changing meaning.

Well, you can start here.

There were prior "pagan" festivals prior to Christianity that were taken over.  I also mentioned the ark, which came from the Babylonians and there are others.

Sorry, Brandon..the Sumerians wrote the the same stories as the first part of the Old Testament 2000 years before the Bible was even written, using the same names-changed only for Babylonian spelling, and incidences except told from the viewpoint of aliens, or "gods" from another world that mixed their DNA with local ape human to genetically engineer workers for the gold mines. They also engineered domestic animals and crop plants in their garden of Aiden.

And I am sure Christianity might have taken things but that's not the topic of discussion, the whole point was the rainbow has a whole different meaning and that is that Gods promise, that he would not flood the earth again, I mean come on even some of the lgbt community knows that. So you should understand why some Christians don't like the lgbt community. That's all I am saying

Well, I somehow doubt rainbows were first invented for the ark.  And as I mentioned, the biblical ark story was based on a Babylonian myth.  Given that the bible is so easily contradicted by history, archaeology and even within itself, why should any of it be believed?  Add that the fact that it has been edited a few times in the process.  A big edit came around the 3rd century, there were more changes with the King James vs Catholic bible and more.  The old testament can be traced to 3 groups who pretty much wrote the entire thing, none of whom had any connection to the actual events.  Of course, not a word of the new testament was written within 3 generations of the supposed events.  So, what can you possibly point to as absolute fact?  I'd say absolutely none of if.

Do Christians also dislike the US Army?

Given the context here, I could make a joke about that, but I'd better not.

What's written in the bible should be believed because alot alot of things that were prophicided in the bible is starting to come to past and alot alot of people are noticing that and not just Christians and people are scared, all it takes is to read it and you will see matter fact I could post a picture on here of a bible scripture talking about the end of the world and how the people will act and its scary because its happening.
