Does God Approve of Gays?

So don't participate if you believe that. Or choose another poster in the thread to converse with.

I am sad that you are taking what I believe to be true about this thread so personally.

I rarely converse with the O/P, and for the exact same reasons I've expressed in this thread.
IMO, he cares nothing about GOD or for Gays. He is exploiting Gays to take his swipes at the religious.

I don't think He minds all that much, so long as you're a good person, love your neighbor, love Him, all that good stuff. I can't see your preference for willies or woman holes as being so important to God.

Why do people think God wants us to love our neighbors?

I mean, he made carnivores. They go around eating their neighbors.

It really is pathetic how those who have already professed their disbelief in Christianity, corruptly exploit, in order to take their bigoted, asinine shots at believers.
I contribute to this thread in an effort to ask others, who see it as I do, to ignore the bigotry expressed in the O/P. Regardless, believer or not, don't be suckered, don't feed it.

Why do you falsely accuse people of bigotry?

Are you gonna apologize?

I will never apologize for or to bigots.

There's no bigotry in the OP. You made a false claim of bigotry against someone. You now support false claims of bigotry?

Why not admit you were wrong?

Supporting false claims of bigotry is disgusting. How Jussie.

In no way have I taken anything you said personally. I don't know where you are getting that.

You don't seem to want to participate in a discussion with the poster who started the thread due to bigotry that is not present in the opening post. I replied with an on-topic post to the discussion being put forth so you could. I'd rather have a discussion about the question than to discuss a poster.

I mean, Jesus often preached values of tolerance and loving your neighbor; as I've gradually moved more to the left, I've still found myself agreeing with the teachings and principles of Christ. That point about carnivores is interesting though, I'm honestly not sure what a theological justification for that is.

Long Pork. Reputed to be very tasty if cooked properly.

Sure he did.

Religion was used as a policing mechanism in the past. They tried to make humans act better in some ways.

But this seems contrary to the actions of human beings.

Firstly because the countries with the worst murder rates are all Christian countries. Top 30 or something. The first that isn't is half Christian/half Muslim and I'd bet that the Christian area is the more violent in those regards.

Second, it makes you wonder if Jesus and God are on the same page really. Or whether Jesus was just kind of making it all up. Not necessarily in a bad way, but none the less, if God was telling Humans to be good then why only in regards to other humans and not towards animals? Are animals not God's creatures? Why make us omnivores?
 
trixare4kids said:
I have an opinion too.
IMO, this is nothing but a bait thread. The O/P mocks GOD by going after true believers.

eta: scratch that last sentence (deleted)

I don't believe God disapproves of Gays, but he does disapprove of non-believers who use what he believes against believers. I am not referring to those who partake in organized religion either.

I just saw your edit.

I'm a little confused about the bolded. What God believes? If God does not disapprove of gays, then how is pointing that out to those Christians who do disapprove of gays, something God would disapprove of?

You believe that God does not approve of questioning beliefs?

Use your memory of your own words, false accuser. Your convenience of your forgetfulness is not forgivable. You are responsible for all the animosity I feel for you. Live with your own self righteous words and by them.
 
They exist in nature - both animal and human. God made them so he must approve.

God cares about love. Not peepees and hoohaws.

Mary Magdalene (knocks on door): What are you boys all doing in there?

Judas (in a nervous voice): Er...ummm...religious stuff!

Peter (shouts): Yeah! No women allowed!

James (whispers): That's a good one. Whew!

Actually, God is awfully quiet on the subject.

Tusks on one elephant was a thought, but then I looked it up. Tusks are gender neutral on African elephants. And, they are not even present on many Asian ones...which begs the question.

Did Noah save both types of elephants?

Carnivores love their neighbors, too. With a pinch of salt.
