Get it over with! Create your own religion and you wont have to worry about anything except you will have to write your own Bible because in no way shape or form does the Bible support that type of sex or marriage. That is why there are no gays at church. It is okay though this is America. We are concerned with liberty not morals. This country was founded on religious freedom. Maybe you will go to heaven, maybe you wont.
While watching the reaction of those pushing for their version of religion religious freedom to discriminate would have if a religion emerged that was militantly pro-gay, homosexuality is not a religion - or a belief for that matter. There are plenty of gays at church Actually, very few people are concerned with the liberty of others
Not to say Christianity is the only religion, but not everyone agrees with gay marriage. In the dhristian church no one is out of the closet just like there are very few black people in a white Christian church. You need to understand that just because you have a idealistic way of thinking the way things should be, it doesn't mean that is the way it is. Christians follow the Bible and gays don't fit in, anywhere, actually. Liberty is not about the common good whatsoever. I love America, but we have sacrificed liberty for safety, airports, for the common good. Why cant we curtail our sexual deviations? You are going to have to explain how it is natural. MOD EDIT>>>FLAME BAIT<<<
Curtail your "deviations" all you want. I don't deviate from my sexuality so, there is no we. If you don't want to have anal sex than don't. If you dint believe it's "natural" who cares? Some people are gay. If you ask why I couldn't tell you. I don't know why this concerns you so much. If you don't believe christianity that accepts gays is christianity, be my guest. I don't know why you worry with what other people call themselves. It has nothing to do with you. MOD EDIT>>>FLAME BAIT<<<
Well it is natural because homosexual behavior is seen in ever species found on this planet. Religion is found in one. By the way, no one gives a f what your twisted brand of religion dictates to you or your ilk. You people have such a superiority complex. You are no better than Muslim radicals attempting to force their twisted brand of religion on others. No one cares that you disagree with gay marriage or gay rights in general, just like you probably don't care that others disagree with totalitarian evangelical bigots. Cheers
as is pedophilia, incest, bestiality and necrophilia. Just because some people engage in it and other species do as well, does not make it normal nor accepted in Christianity.
It's acceptable in a couple denominations of Christianity. If you don't like them calling their religion Christianity, oh well. You don't get to decide such things for others.
the argument made is that if some species of animals engage in gay-sex then it must be normal and accepted. Well, incest and pedophilia are also prevalent within the animal kingdom so should we use your argument to support those deviant behaviors too? Or, is your argument only for gay-sex?
And each of the cause harm to others. Homosexuality alone does not Try again And no one cares about your pathetic christofacists arguments...
why does your debate point only hold water when in favor of how you choose to have sex, but you quickly dismiss it for other deviant sexual behaviors? You can't have it both ways and that has now been exposed
My point "holds water" compared to the quoted (pedophilia bestiality and necrophilia) because a party is harmed in each of these and no consent can be given. This does not apply to homosexuality which involves two individuals capable of consent. I can tell this is really difficult for you but I'm not sure I can make it anymore simple. You do understand what consent means, right? No? God I hope you are not legally allowed to be around children. Or animals. Or corpses. Feel free to grow a spine and respond to many of the posters calling your bs out.
Christians follow JESUS (or at least they should) and this is what he says about LGBT's- . . . . . . . . . . . . . That's right, NOTHING, he never said a single word one way or the other..
Cool, there are verses about a man sleeping with another man as he would a woman. It's a sin and should not be done. It's about the sex act, that's it. Those who insist on having themselves some gay-sex are free to start any chruch they wish; it just won't be Christian.
There are verses about how looking at a woman other than your wife. It is adultery and thus a sin. Jesus didn't request we be free of sin. in fact I think he said those who committed no sin don't need a savior. They have and they are.
Another thing- Sodom and Gomorrah are often used as examples of God's wrath towards all gays, but the fact is the S/G gays were totally depraved and nasty, going round hammering on peoples doors demanding the men be sent out so they could have them. Bad call, as two of the men they wanted were angels in human form, so God made an object lesson of S/G and zapped them. Not all gays are nasty of course and there's nothing on record of him zapping any other gay communities around the world.. Incoming! Lot and his wife are warned to flee from S/G- 1- "Don't look back!" 2- "Stop telling me what to do" 3- cue phaser blast sound effects.. 4- "Oh sh*t"..
Sure OP, it is all man-made gobbledygook anyway. One more god wont hurt... http://godfinder.tumblr.com/
Which verses say that? All I know is that he said if we're sinners we'll be in a world o' hurt on judgement day. PS- He also said to the crowds- "Why do you call me good?" No one is good except God alone" (Mark 10:18 ) so it follows that if Jesus himself falls below perfection, so do the rest of us..
AIDS primarily effect the participants only. No one is going to come in and force AIDS on. Want try again?
