I wasn't aware religion had to fight off the gay agenda. I wasn't aware they were in antithesis.

You seem to be looking for problems and creating the perception of a problem where there isn't one to begin with.

You'd think that, but you're wrong.

On the contrary, they can simply have a new revelation like they did when they abandoned the theological racism. The cognitive dissonance needed to handle the inconsistency is well within normal human limits.

Skin color isn't a sin. Homosexuality is. The gay agenda has zero legs on this one.

In contrast to what people may be assuming, I will say that monotheism will have to remain antigay because there's really not a whole lot else to it.................Which is why it's finished.........................

Finished in your circles, yes. But then, it's always been that way hasn't it? And of course, your side has SO much to look forward to outside of religion, doesn't it?

But we are born this way? How could anyone hate our behavior when we are just people alike? I would like to note that I am in the most committed relationship I have ever been in through my whole life up to now, with my current boyfriend. Which I would like to include that he is Catholic and almost no one objects or even disagrees with our love. The numbers of people who disagree or hate homosexuality are decreasing in numbers so fast that eventually it will be more rare to be homophobic than homosexual.

Since you don't have Islam listed, I chose the Roman Catholics.

I think that the LDS church will always have the same stand on this subject. There are some differences between the blacks receiving the priesthood and gays. God has been very clear on His standing on this situation through scripture. The church won't give in to the social pressure. But I do know that the church itself has many gay members. And if the individual isn't a practicing gay they are able to hold positions of leadership within the church. But the church will never change their views on SSM.

What demands, exactly?

I am not aware of gay people making any demands on any church. I am aware of internal disagreements in churches on gay people, and I am aware of gay people making demands for equality of their supposedly secular government.

But you're gonna have to show me what the hell gay people have ever demanded of a church, because I see nothing.

Yes, God has made it very clear how he feels about a lot of outdated things, such as quoted in Leviticus. What would you call social pressure? People begging for rights to be accepted as who they are without being told that God hates their way of life? I thought Christianity was all about love thy neighbor and everyone is the same beautiful person that God crafted in his vision. So perhaps God at one point may have had more restrictions, but isn't that what Christianity is about? Forgiveness and renewal through Jesus Christ? It seems to me that the church is only trying to tiptoe around the topic of homosexuality by allowing gay members, but not fully accepting and acknowledging them. It is, though, an inspiration to hear about so many churches beginning to open up to it around the world and in our own backyard.

Caved in or finally understood that we are all God's children and that God wanted them to stop the crap and start promoting families?

Honestly, if the Bible is true and there will be an "end" to life on Earth, I don't think any man-made church will be intact. I think there will be followers that are scattered amongst many of them, but no one church (as in the man-made name of a church group) that remains.

So why not do what most Catholics do? Commit sins, go to confession, ask for forgiveness, do ten hail maries and one our father, and then go out and do it again, and come back to confession and confess it again, and then be forgiven again ... so, if a guy has sex with another guy, just go to the priest and confess it and be forgiven and then go get laid again and .... you get the picture, no?

Only your fourth post, and you think you're a moderator now?

I've literally contributed more than a thousand times as much to this forum as you have, and I wouldn't think of trying to claim the authority that you're trying to claim.

Er.... Not what I was going for. I just don't like getting into unnecessary discussion like that because it doesn't prove a point. I do apologize if I sounded rude.
 
re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]

In the long run? None. But Islam will hold the longest.

The Mormon and Southern Baptist churches once stated that black skin was a sin because they considered it to be the mark of Caine. Now they don't. You'll find more new testament passages against divorce than you will homosexuality, but that doesn't stop most Christian churches from accepting divorcees into their ranks.

You don't sound very convinced, but hey, if you want to run with that at final judgment, then good luck to you.

Religion is failing miserably across the board, it will fall into obscurity within a generation and gay marriage will have nothing to do with it. It's just stupid beliefs, based on fantasy, believed by the ignorant and emotionally immature.

It's still the mark of Cain, but his evil isn't inherited.

This from the side that likes to accuse those of us with religious beliefs of bigotry. Only goes to show what I always say—that those who most loudly purport to condemn bigotry usually turn out to be the worst bigots of all.
