ChicagoCita July 27, 2015 Share July 27, 2015 (edited) I've said this a few times, and I hope we don't get too far off topic here, but Jesus never said a word against homosexuality that is recorded in the Bible. He did say that the greatest commandment is to love God completely, and the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as much as you love yourself. In my book, that means baking your neighbor a wedding cake and giving your neighbor equal rights. Jesus did speak strongly against divorce, yet issuing divorce decrees never made a Christian county clerk quit his or her job. While I am a Christian and believe in God's will, I don't think He's a micromanager! So I take "Christians" like Sherri and CCB with a HUGE grain of salt. I've quit churches because they were getting pretty far away from the Bible and pretty far into right-wing politics. How I loathe "Christians" who hide their prejudices behind the cross. I think Sherri and CCB might very well be terrified of Jesus if He were to return and be a guest on The View.

Morbs July 29, 2015 Share July 29, 2015 I bet also soon we will learn they are switching back to a cheaper studio. I think next year will be as bare bones as possible. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/75506-the-view-in-the-media/page/23/#findComment-1367653
RogerFromOhio July 29, 2015 Share July 29, 2015 They would need a man on the panel so that Candace, Sherri, Paula Faris and Michelle Duggar can submit to him and stare adoringly at him. OMG...

ginger90 July 29, 2015 Share July 29, 2015 Other message boards on ABC's page are being shut down too. I'd assume all of them. As far as The View's message boards, off topic is the norm, many, many threads off topic. Quite a while ago (before they "tweaked" it"), there were awful posts on there, it would be one post that would be copied and run pages and pages long. "Tweaking" does not work for ABC. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/75506-the-view-in-the-media/page/23/#findComment-1367740
