Discrimination ISN'T good. I can't stand how people discriminate because of how they look, their race, their sex, their sexual orientation, religious belief, etc.
People should be judged on who THEY ARE TO YOU, and how they treat you, not what they can't help, or change, or believe in, you know?

a lot of Christians discriminate against gay people because in the Bible it says that being gay is wrong
im not religious and dont think that but ive been having an argument with someone because of it.
btw - im not saying that all Christians are against gay people and im not saying its just them, its just that from personal experience ive come across Christians that don't liek gay people

I've come across those type of christians too. But right now..i have no religion... I know most of you will attack me for it but i seriously don't believe in it. Especially adam and eve ... |

I understand completely Cassie! if you don't believe in something, why be fake and say you are? Never deny your beliefs just for other people. i respect you for that.

And yeah, the Bible says nothing bad about homosexuality. do you think you could write the extract from the Bible where people get confused about homosexuality please. Its just that i know someone that is adament that it is wrong because the Bible says so, i just want to show them the extract so they can, maybe not agree with it but, at least accept it |

Okay I was looking for the extract, and found something else interesting. It had said that, like 50 years ago, there was no "sexual orientation" much less in the biblical times. Homosexuality wasn't about same-sex, it was to describe something else, not what it's used for today. When the Conservative Christian looks at this, they immidiately think of the same-sex relations, and think that it's hated by god. "Most interpret the Garden of Eden story in the book of Genesis as indicating the fall of humanity into sin. They view homosexual behavior as one evidence of that sin." " Conservative Christian theologians generally: Believe that the Bible was written by authors who were directly inspired by God. Thus their writings are seen as inerrant -- completely free of error as originally written. The Bible is regarded as the actual Word of God. Thus whenever the Bible and science disagree, the former must be right. Most interpret the Garden of Eden story in the book of Genesis as indicating the fall of humanity into sin. They view homosexual behavior as one evidence of that sin. When they study the Bible for guidance on homosexuality, they generally look for proof texts -- passages that clearly and directly deal with the topic." Conservative-- "When they see homosexuals or sodomites condemned, they believe that this applies to all same-sex activities. Homosexual behavior is a sin and a chosen and changeable perversion, which is hated by God." Liberal-- "Homosexual orientation and behavior is a normal human sexual expression among a minority of adults. It is not changeable or chosen. Like all sexual behavior, it can be a sin if it is exploitive or manipulative or not carried out safely in a committed relationship." All from this one site.. www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bibl.htmbut if you read it wrong, you can take it the wrong way. Keep an open mind. One other thing that has been pissing me off about most christians.. How the hell can they judge someone? It says in the bible not to JUDGE. Plus, doesn't "god love everyone unconditionally" ?? They are so damn hypocritical. They say that, yet a second later they turn around and bash homosexuals. That really bothers me, it seriously does. If "god loves everyone" then homosexuality isn't a sin, unless its exploited or whatever that you read above. If he loves everyone, he loves even those who are gay. If you think homosexuality is a sin--then you are a close minded ignorant person, someone which i would not want to talk to. I love chris, and I love my uncle. Do NOT think less of t hem because of something that wasn't their choice--they are great people, don't judge them, look down on them, or think YOU ARE SUPERIOR BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT.This is one topic that affects me deeply, and something I will argue with until the day I die. I swear if I was in charge of the world...this wouldn't be an issue... |
