re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]

Any that do lack Christian love.
You're talking about any that enable wrong behaviors. That's not these four.... yet.
 
re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]

i voted the dust will never settle

i picked this because while i think on a large scale none of them will be standing but on a small scale some of them will.

just like today there are still churches that practice racism and bigotry and misogyny

still Mormons that still think black is basically a sin
christian churches that wont marry blacks
lots of churches/religions that view women as a lesser

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

In the minds of the churches it absolutely was, as evidenced by their racist doctrine. Its a matter of historical record that churches have bowed to societal pressure in the past. Preaching prejudice against a certain group only works if that prejudice is also reflected by society itself. It also works the other way around, which is why polygamy is now demonized despite historical tradition and scriptural support.

We all do wrong behaviors, and without protests. Lord, what heterosexuals have done t damage marriage is far more grievous than same sex marriage. Jesus says virtually nothing on the subject, and rarely concerned him self with sex at all, other than to be more lenient than those around him. Spending this much hate on homosexuality is distinctly non-Christian. Acceptance is in fact more Christian, more in keeping with Christian values.

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.

You didn't mention the accusation of fanaticism. If one is a person of faith, he or she is by definition a "fanatic." :roll:

What I find interesting here is that nobody is mentioning the distinction between who one is and what one does.

"Gay Agenda" ?

You mean, like wanting people with arbitrary prejudice to stop persecuting them? That agenda?

re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]

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.

Hello. Dooble!!!

I am sure you meant to get back to this post, and just forgot about it. I thought I would remind you of it, since I also am interested in hearing the answer.
 
re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]

I get the picture, but that's not how some of us roll.

but you don't have to roll with them ... let them roll, just like you like to be left to roll the way you roll ...

now, if you meant the confession thing, it really does work that way for most, no?

What a coincidence? The GOP views women as lessers too! Wow ...

That is some freaky **** right there.

this really is, but what bothers me more is the way flaming straight people flaunt their straight lifestyle ....

I just wanted to know which religion you think will be the last one standing. Don't have a cow, man.

Racism exists primarily on the Left. Polygamy has always been selective at best, and usually practiced by the highly spiritual, or prophets themselves.

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

You may say this, but you obviously didn't read my full post considering you only included the first sentence. I know we are born this way. Just because we are confused at first, our perception of ourselves distorted by what society and our parents want us to be.

Why should I run this by God at final judgment if he made me this way. He already knows and loves me for it. The main issue with you bigots is that you truly think God hates those who you don't like in which making the Lord in your image, not you in his image.

It's not bigotry to point out reality and the reality is that virtually all major religions, especially Christianity, are hemorrhaging members. Don't mistake fact for bigotry.

Hi, Dezaad

Please tell your friend to do a little more research. You might want to try a little research yourself. Start with the LDS Church and work from there.

Incredibly disgusting, I know. I mean, it is alright if breeders want to be that way in the privacy of their homes, but to shove their lifestyle down our throats like they do. It's just sick, and more than I can handle, really.

Are you actually asking us to back up your claim? Not going to happen. It is noted that you obviously have nothing, so your claim is dismissed. Done.

No, I'm asking you to get up to speed. Don't play dumb here.

Not gonna work. Gay people are making no demands on the Churches. You are stating otherwise. Prove it.

Racism exists primarily on the Left.

I guess that made the Mormons and Southern Baptists leftists then.

Polygamy has always been selective at best, and usually practiced by the highly spiritual, or prophets themselves.

That doesn't change the fact that Polygamy is explicitly condoned in the bible and modern prohibition against it is based on social attitudes not scripture.
