I'm not. I'm just challenging them.

That's fine to challenge, but you can still make your language more clean and less offensive.

And i agree. I judge people. But i don't justify it with a book.

You don't have to.

There was a news report in the paper a while ago about a gay guy who was beaten and killed because of his sexuality, now, i can't remember what country it was in (i don't think that it was England), but as the funeral was proceeding you got a bunch of religious people, Christians and Catholics i do believe, shouting insults such as "He's going to Hell" and the like. Now, if that's not nasty and disrespectful, i don't know what is. It seems to me as if Christians (aswell as others) do a whole lot of sinning in the name of their God. And sure, it may not be the vast majority. But don't the vast majority believe that homosexuality is a sin? And they will go to Hell? And thus is they met a homosexual they would distance themselves from him or her? If they were an employer they wouldn't give the job to a homosexual, that in itself is nasty. Because you are stopping a person from earning a living...

How did you know if those people asked the christians "where do you think he's going? be honest." There are non-christians I know who are distant from homosexuals, because they feel it's nasty. It's not always christians.

When you say "christians" Your stereotyping and thinking that all christians are the same. Well were not. I can see if you would of said, the christians I've seen or heard about, or some.Christian or non-christian, everyone sins at the same level. Christians are still going to sin because they are human, but, we have to try to do the things what christ did in order to go to heaven. We can never be like him, but we can come close to it. I mean, at the school shooting, a girl was killed because the guy asked her did she believe in Jesus Christ and she said yes and they killed her and they were NOT christians. Can you say we do the most sinning then? There was another killing like that in Texas too.

I don't read the Bible and thus wouldn't know where to start. Although over here in England there was a Cannon who was going to be ordained, he was homosexual, but he was the best man for the job and celebate. Suddenly there was a mass uproar about a homosexual Bishop, who, regardless of his ability to handle the job was persecuted against by the mass of the Christian church. Now, as the argument went on, the people against it were stating that he shouldn't become a Bishop because he was gay and no matter how good his credentials, it didn't change the fact homosexuality is a sin. In argument to this the other side stated that in certain parts of the Bible it stated that homosexuality wasn't a sin. Like i said, i don't read the Bible and so i can't really state whether the latter is true, but you should know...

If you don't read the bible, then I suggest you to stop saying such blasphemy and false information which you say is written in the bible.
See your in Great Britian, and I'm in America where everyone is protected by the first amendemt which is freedom of speech, press, religion, etc. Your justifying your experiences in England. What about christians everywhere? We are not like that and I've seen christians who do hire homosexuals. They are those type of christians "You respect my beliefs, I will resepct yours." Also, we would want to hire a homosexual to be an example to him, and to show that not all christians are bad. We are gentle to homosexuals. Sometimes, they say that they hate being gay and they want to try to live right. When they are on their death bed, who do they run to? God, or a near by christian to pray for them. Also, the parts were it says homosexuality is not a sin is wrong it's in 1 corinthinans, romans, and leviticus. Also, Soddom and Ghomorrah was introduced with the first homosexuals and they were blided because they wanted to date the angels, who were guys.

I didn't realise i did. Whilst typing i am quite calm about this...not all irratic and shtuffs...

SOme post yes, others no.[

Depends on what you mean by "bad-mouthing" them. Some may take offense to you stating its their choice to be gay, when everyone (aside from Christians and other such people it seems) knows that their sexuality is to do with the development in the womb...
|
Saying that being gay is a choice, is not as offensive then saying christians are arrogant and such and that we are nasty. Everyone does not know that sexuality has something to do with the womb. My cousin was raped and she became gay. There are some basketball girls who grew up with men all their life and ended up gay. So, that proves that it's not.
:
And there you go again. Like i said, that can be seen as offensive. I personally am not that fussed, because the way i see it whatever we believe in happens to us when we die, and thus if we have a wide range of beliefs, we get to choose. But homosexual Christians may be deeply offended by that. And wasn't Jesus an "all forgiving" kinda guy? So doesn't he have to save everyone...
|
If your not christian, they why would you care and why would you get offended if you don't believe in God in the first place. I mean, everyone has a free will to choose how they want to live their life. Homosexual Christians...deeply offended? When if they go to church and the minister reads a scripture about how homosexuality is a sin? They can get offended but the minister is going to care about the other people in the church also, not just the homosexual christians. Jesus, is and still is a forgiving guy and he did save everyone by dying for our sins. But the choice if yours. Jesus opens the doors for us to salvation. It's your job to walk into those doors. It's your job to make the choice if you want Jesus Christ as your savior, and believe that he saved you.
