Religion and Homosexuality

[walksalone11]

I will show compassion when others show compassion for me.

That is such a loaded statement.  I cannot even begin to convey what is wrong with it.  It is taking every ounce of my patience not to call you names here.  You need to open your eyes and ears, honey.

Or, she should just realize that many others are waiting for her to do the same thing.

Who cares what religion says about homosexuality, Its completely normal from my point of view. I see it this way, If you have two people, one person likes toffe, and the other person likes chocolate, who's to say that each person couldn't have dreams, feelings or fantasies about the other person's candy?? Who's to say that people shouldn't be attracted to one another just because they are of the same sex?  Human nature does. Attraction is a natural thing, its a chemical reaction in your body, and no religion governs how it works. The persons involved are the ones and if they are happy that's the way it should be.

When it comes to age, and rape, then yes, it is dictated by the law.

Oh yes, even the Pope doesn't agree with homosexuality, but as we speak, his own priests and clergymen in the Vatican, who are supposed to be celibate were found to be molesting little boys for a long time........
(see what happens??? Denying your sexual nature, whether it be toward the same sex or the opposite sex, is an unnatural behavior, which can have abnormal and preverted results! It is normal for an adult to be sexually active with another adult, not with a choir boy-FAIL!!!)

........Hmmmm, why exactly are people going to listen to these fools and how their religion believes state that it is wrong for two consenting adults of the same sex to get married, or be lovers, when they can't even control their own freakin' religious "peters" around children? -they are all f@#@-up already, so who gives a "flying duck" about what the bible translates about homosexuality.

You dictate your life and how you live it...........

Well said.  My hubby likes this song about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHRDfut2Vx0 (Warning: explicit lyrics)

As for marie, I've come to the conclusion that she is who she says she is, and part of that makes her look like a troll.

God doesn't "hate fags."  He hates the sin, but loves the sinner.

Homosexuality isn't a sin.

Do you know what an abomination (anything greatly disliked or abhorred,To regard with horror or loathing; detest) is? Is there a point to be gay? It isn't like you can have babies. Men have to stick it to the poop chute, is that sex? And women have nothing to even have sex with other women with.

Well then, to define something as an abomination is an opinion, not a fact. It is the opinion of the group of men who wrote the bible, not God's. Some people don't "dislike" homosexuality, therefore it is not a sin in their eyes. The word of the bible should be taken with a grain of salt because it was written by man and does contain flaws.

Looking back to a quote from the bible promoting slavery:

Leviticus 25:44-46 "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves... You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life."

This passage was written by men to justify the evil desires (to own slaves) of their time. And all the passages against homosexuality were likewise written to justify the evil desires (to hold sever hateful prejudices against homosexuals) of their time. Unfortunately people still hold onto those ancient and illogical prejudices.

Looking back to

Is there a point to be gay? It isn't like you can have babies.

Is there a point to doing many of the things we do? Like going to the movies or playing cards or having a conversation about nothing in particular. Are those sins? No, they are just things people do sometimes. Besides the point of being gay is the same point as being straight: To express your love with the one you love.

Look back at what you said one more time.

Is there a point to be gay? It isn't like you can have babies. Men have to stick it to the poop chute, is that sex? And women have nothing to even have sex with other women with.

Why should this be qualification for a sin? Why should this be cause for people to hate homosexuals? Where is the logic behind it all? Its all just, "Eew that's gross, I hate them, they're going to Hell." If God loves all his creations then so should everyone else. You don't have to partake in gay sex. But you should not despise someone who does. Everyone should be treated with respect. Illogical prejudices like these are all that is wrong in the world.

Then be gay if you want, but people are entitled to their own opinion. If someone thinks being gay is an abomination...then so be it.

There is a difference between someone saying "homosexuality is an abomination, but live and let live" and saying "gays are sinners and are hell bound, and I'm going to try to save them by voting for laws that don't provide equal rights, letting them know they are sinful, and beating a dude up if he hits on me."

You know.....this is just sickening. I have known many gay men (not many women) and I loved them to pieces! They were so fun to hang out with, they made me laugh and I felt more comfortable with them knowing they weren't interested in me LOL. They are regular people for crying out loud. Do I agree with their lifestyle? NO. Do I promote gay rights? NO  HOWEVER, that doesn't make them any less of a human being or worthy of respect. Haters need to get a dang grip!

Just to clarify...I see you in the "live or let live" camp.  I doubt you are the type to drag one of your gay male friends to church against their will and try to pray the gay away. 

I agree, the hatred is sickening.  Look at Brandon Teena and Matthew Shephard.

Um, when you are denying a people group basic civil rights that other people groups get to enjoy, that most certainly says, "You are less of a human being, and you don't deserve this respect."  Just a heads up.
