What\'s wrong with some little-known denomination of christianity interpreting the bible in a different way, and marrying a gay couple "under god?"  I don\'t see how that would affect you either.

If you\'re against that, then nothing\'s going to solve your problem  short of a modern crusade to reunite all the bizzaro christians under one set of rules.  Hmmm, let me think now... hasn\'t that been tried before?  

There\'s a huge difference between a different interpretation, and going against what the bible says.

I have no problems with gays.

I find that VERY hard to believe after reading your first post.

The problem is that they are starting to want too much. They got all the laws against them revocked. Now they want to be allowed to get married at church? My problem is not with their actions, it\'s their ignorance. They know as well as anybody that Homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of Christians...well...most christians. Yet they still want to be allowed.

sounds a bit like something would say about colored people soon after the civil war... well not soon but yeah you get the point.

I have no problem with gays, as long as they don\'t hit on me. I am kind of glad that they aren\'t in the military or Boy Scouts (its good to know that your not bunking with a gay guy in the tent but I tent alone unless chicks are involved). I guess I\'m neutral on this. Let them protest. I do agree though its disgusting and I don\'t want to see it in public. It should be a more private thing to do.

Once again, why does all this bother you people so much?  Why does it bother you if they wear a wig or a dress, or whatever.  It doesn\'t affect you.  You don\'t have to go to their parade.  I\'m sure you didn\'t anyway, but does it bother you so much to see it on TV?  Switch the channel.

You\'re just displaying intolerance, plain and simple.  It doesn\'t affect you.

It\'s like saying "why do those Sikh people have to wear turbans all the time?  Why don\'t they just act like normal members of society?"  I ask:  WHAT IS NORMAL?  Why should you care when it doesn\'t affect you?

I think you seriously need to question your own beliefs a bit more closely if you are this intolerant.

How DOESN\'T it affect us? It had to affect you somehow if you replied to this topic. It\'s not a matter of being intolerant. Well....it is...how can I be tolerant of them trying to change even the color of the sky to pink in order to fit their way of living? It affects the image of this country, it affects the people that have to go through this, it affects the people against this, it affects the people with this. It affects everybody. I don\'t know about you but I sure as hell hope that my kids don\'t grow up surrounded and influenced by what goes on around. If they grow up to be homosexuals, then either I would have done something wrong, or they just decided too. What the Homosexuals are doing right now is completely shameless. I was cool with the whole "we are equal even though we\'re gay" fight. But now they are taking their victory and trying to shove it into Christianity\'s face.


So back to my weird day at church yesterday. The priest was talkin about some things in the bible. Swif you\'re good at looking up stuff so do me a favor. He was talking about the things that happened right before the big flood and noah\'s ark you know. How some men were trying to get angels to have sex with and stuff. I think it was corinithians or something. So anyways, the dude says that cuz of the homo\'s trying to have sex with (guys)angels, he decided it was the last straw and flooded the place. So in other words he thinks we\'re living in the last days....makes since..YES...do i believe him.....NO.

Hmm... I never really heard of that, but here are some references of homosexuality in the bible:

Leviticus 18:22 - Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

Leviticus 20:13 - \'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

1 Kings 14:24 - There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.

1 Kings 15:22 - He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his fathers had made.

Romans 1:27 - In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

1 Corinthians 6:9 - Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders .

Okay if your walking down the street and you see two gay guys how does that negativly impact you?

Edit: Yes I know that christians do not have to accept gays, my problem is with the hatred towards homosexuals shown by a large portion of society... and by people posting in this thread.. *Ahem*

I know that question is directed at Mystiq, but I\'ll answer anyways... I don\'t mind at all, it\'s their choice, it\'s their life.

True Swifdi. If they chose to live their lives that way, they can go on ahead.

[SirMystiq]

You\'re looking at it from a perspective that I can\'t say it does. Look at the big picture. I don\'t hate them. Im just not very fond of watching two old men walking down the street holding hands and acting like a 16 year old couple....

To put the religious end of it aside for a second, why does that bother you?

Im being serious here because, I am heterosexual, but, I am just as fond of gay people as i am of anyone else.... So what bothers you so much?

[SirMystiq]

I already said that Religious beliefs apart, I don\'t care. It bothers me b/c It\'s weird. Weird things bother me.

[GmanJoe]

Nooo! Don\'t bring up Leviticus!!!! You can\'t have a tatoo without being killed, says Levitucus!

Come on guys.....The New Testament teaches us tolerance! TOLERANCE! Remember Jesus? He was killed coz he basically preached against the intolerant laws!

Don\'t bring up Leviticus again. It ALWAYS back fires. Trust me.

I wash my hands of this thread. OUTTA HERE! See ya.

[SirMystiq]

THATS THE ONE!!!

Why is it so bad?

I already said that Religious beliefs apart, I don\'t care. It bothers me b/c It\'s weird. Weird things bother me.

People said that about blacks 60 years ago... blacks and whites living together as equals??? Thats weird!

I\'m not defending them, nor am I accusing them. I try to live as Jesus would have, and he would never have mocked or accused them. He would have opened his arms to them and loved them when no one else would have.

Mystiq, a year from now you\'ll look back at this and realize how silly you sound.
