My apologies I realized what you were talking about after I made the post.

I'm not personally interested in changing your position frankly you can hold whatever position you want and I wish you the best.

I am arguing against your position to not only show me but show other people that your position is weak.

I have heard so often that God hates Gays from the religious right. My thought is this, God made people Gay. No matter what people tell you it is not a choice. If it was, no one would be gay. So if God made people gay, and if God does not make mistakes, then how can God hate someone who is as God made him or her. Only if you think God can make mistakes, and so many of them, can you believe God hates Gay people. And if God made Gays the way they are, how can you as a religious person hate someone God made Gay.

The only religious people who says that God hates gays are those from the Westboro Bapist Church. God doesn't hate gays, he hates the sin they do.

Yet Christians won't hesitate for a second to quote the old testament when attacking gays. It's just your opinion you've attempted to doll up as "god's will" to try to give yourself legitimacy.

Lots of people can have positions that are biblical that aren't logical biblical and logical aren't synonyms.

I stated that your position wasn't logical and you stated that it was biblical. As if that's some argument. It doesn't matter if it's biblical or not if it's not logical it doesn't follow

No not really there's a difference of opinion there's all sorts of different biblical positions there's some 20,000 different denominations of Christianity and that's just a Fishel denominations. They're different denominations because they have different positions on the Bible.

And again good night to you

I only play a psychologist on TV, but hear me out: the two main reasons people hate and fear homosexuals:

1. Ignorant people truly feel that homosexuality is a choice.
2. They are gay themselves and project their shame, hatred and cowardice upon those who are brave enough to come out.

3, Every bully needs an obviously slim justification for his actions. The real reason he is doing it is to intimidate all the other people around him. Selecting a group who are the easiest to attack and will not cause trouble fighting back is the most simple and direct method.

If the sheep in your flock have seen you condem somebody else at whim they will not step out of line so quickly.

It's all a dominance game after all.

Oh my God. You really wanna do this again? :roll:

Trying to equate homosexuality with pedophilia and serial killers, is gross and stupid.

True. Many believers here have told me that the new covenant means that they don't have to kill people who work on the sabbath and don't kill their sassy children and then use the OT to attack gays.

This is true, but it also holds true for other religions, such as Islam, where they're even less accepting of gays.

Religion has been the cause of much strife, hatred and war in our world over the centuries and, hopefully, it will continue to fade away. If current statistics hold -- we will one day be rid of the cults that spawn hatred and judgementalism.
