Agreed.

Possibly. Did you bother to read the WARNING!! disclamer in my sig? That pretty much says it all.Oh so my enitre christian upbrining is total BS because you, the righteous Saint Beam, has come down from Heaven and "set it straight"
Once again, possibly.You remind me of this 40 year old virgin theology teacher who tried to convince me that Satan was trying to poison my soul.
Which alone makes God a bastard, if what you say is true. Nothing is more idiotic than damning the ancestors of someone who wronged you.
What I say is only ridiculed by the ignorant and foolish.Oh Please, can't you tell that preaching your into this discussion will only get you more ridicule.
Well, if we ever create our own Universe, We'll be able to set things up as we see fit in our self-righteous view of "how it outta be". Until then however...Once again, I always found this belief to be bullshiit, I don't think a baby can be held accountable for the actions of it's parents.
Tolerated yes. Accepted as right, no. As I've explained, objecting to something that is wrong is not an act of hate. If anything, it's an act of love. Love says,"I don't care if you're willing to settle for less than the best, I want you to have the best." Since God is love and God knows what's best, He is against any way of living that goes against what He set up to be the best for us.No Saint, Homosexuality is a human lifestyle which should be tolerated. It's thinking your "preverted satanic lifestyle" that starts all this hatred for Gay people in the first place, and makes people wanna pass laws against them.
Although what you say is true in theory, I have found that the ferther a society strays from God, the worse that society becomes.Look, you believe in God, Fine, but as Beetle Juice said, there is a seperation of Church and State in the US, PERIOD. No "ifs" or "buts". The bottom line is, that this law against sodomy is unconstitutional and goes against our rights as citizens. Nothing relgious should have to do with that.
Zeta said:Reading this thread has made me ill!! I just dont even know what to say to any of it! I think the points have been argured to death(And I have to say well done Btljuice)! It saddens me to no end that we are still trying to understand each other. When its just a fact of life that we are all different and we need to accept that and try and be more tolerant!!
Mister_Prophet said:Your wrong here. I have no hate in my heart. I dont hate anyone or anything. I have tried hate... and it gets you no where. It doesnt answer any of the questions we have. I dont understand how I have been hateful at all or why you have that perception of me.
Don't bother MPP, I've heard this kind of defense before, they don't think of anything good to say so he accuses you of being full of hatred or whatever. People with his kind of attitude about Christianity have been using the same lines trying to "explain" to awesomeness of God to me for my whole life, and it doesn't get any less ridiculous.

Cat Fuzz said:Back at ya!
I do understand your viewpoint and I reject it. I have seen the world from a secular perspective and I don't like it. I used to be quite liberal, until I wised up.
Cat Fuzz said:I do believe the accusation of hatefulness came from YOUR side of the arguement in the first place.
Cat Fuzz said:Tolerance = agreeing with you. No thanks.
BangOut said:anything other than a man sticking it in a woman's cooter is a perversion of the gentials' purposes when you think about it, so bestiality, masturbation, butt sex, and oral sex is all really doing it wrong... it's just that religion deems them all to be wrong, the law only deems some of them to be wrong
BangOut said:Wow you're a ****ing moron! I was stating pure facts that you took as a sermon. Now go masturbate to pictures of mpp and leave the rest of us alone.
It's not hateful, it's true. Just because you've decided in your own righteousness that bestiality is offensive and homosexuality isn't, doesn't make my comparing the two hateful. Hateful would be "God hates the filthy gays and doesn't want them saved." or "Let's kill all the homos" or some such nonsense.tell me it isnt hateful... to say things like "Homosexuality is but one of many possible manifestations of satan's peverted influence on humanity"
and "perverted Union" and comparing homosexuality to beastiality.
