Not everyone who think being gay is wrong is so close minded about it. Not if they really listen to how the bible reads. If anything God teaches about opposing hate. I don't believe in abortions or gays or mercy killings myself, but if someone does I don't have a problem with them. One of my best friends has a gay cousin, and we both feel the same about that--More power to ya, just don't tell me any details. I mean, you don't have to approve, but you don't have to become a problem yourself either. If you don't like it, don't do it. It's really that simple.

I'm starting to think these people only do this to get a reaction from everyone. I think you hit the nail on the head there.

Hmm, sarcasm is so hard to detect online o.O
Not to offend anyone...but, I think basing your opinions souly on the bible is fairly close minded. Your just listening to someone else's beliefs instead of forming your own. It's not like a homosexual has the choice as to who they love. That's just like saying that you 'pick' your husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend instead of falling in love with them. Love is blind. Again, I hold nothing against religious people, more power to you for believing in something.
I know this may start a huge argument and what not. So that's what I have to say on that. As for these racist Christians (which is something I never expected to exsist), if hurting people is what they're out to do, then congratulations. They've succeed at pissing everyone off.

Yea, that's why you're supposed to balance bible with life. Which is how I stay neutral. You're right though, this is a rather big shock. I'm not sure what these people would be called, but I'm pretty sure it's not racist; that's the KKK and the Black Panthers.
*shakes head* There's so much wrong with the world today, it's getting harder to fing things that are good. But maybe we could put this whole thing to rest? It's not doing anybody any good.

Ahhh the many reasons why humans as a species are bout the stupidest creatures in the world. *Sigh* most people are just not happy unless they make others miserable. And I've been to 4 furnals in my life, and Death, Heaven, Hell whatever is the last thing on your mind. First off you're trying to comprehend that no they are not going to jump out of that caskit and say HI EVERYBODY! Then you're brain is till comprehending the fact that you will never see them again.
Most people like to go by what the Bible says the Cathlic bible. But guess what the bible contradics it's self over and over again. The way I figure it, every living thing on this planet should be respected for what it is and what it does. REGUARDLESS of species, type, gender, race, orientation ect. To me humans have little to no respect for anything that's why one day we will kill ourselves off and our race will start over a new. And by that time we shall be long since dead and happyer for it. ^-^ Ah you just gotta love how my brain works.
Humm I'm rambling now.

Yea, just a little rambling, and thanks Xenon. The King James bible doesn't really contridict itself, it just walks a very thin line so you have to read carfully. And, yes, I'm sure we can all agree that all humans as a whole are doomed. But is that all, because this kind of topic will never come to a close unless it's dropped.

Philippians 4:5 "Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near."
God has the final say, but those people aren't acting like christians at all.
1 Corinthians 4:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? "Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. "Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."

*sighs* I would appresiate it if we really didn't start bringing up quotes from the bible. This isn't about why some have issues with homosexuals and why others don't. It's about what is the right way to behave if you do, or don't agree about it.
Obviously most people here agree that what those bigots are doing isn't right, righteous, or christian.
Funny how most people don't have any trouble seeing why the others mentioned in that passage aren't going to get into heaven. Just the one. ...nevermind don't respond to that as we do want this topic dropped.
Just remember those of you that believe strongly in the bible, that it is okay to love the person, and not the sin without bringing in the whole 'only those who do such and such' will be with God.

*sigh* It's wrong to protest at a funeral like that. >.>
I'm Catholic, but I'm all for tolerance. For once I agree with the pope's new encyclical (from what I've read). He basically says that all love is gift from God and helps us worship God.

To let yourself, your opinions, your daily life be governed by a book which has no realistic basis on nowaday life, nor any proof that it means anything from it's day and time, is just something I can't understand. I do what I want, I think what I want, not what some book tells me is right or wrong. To me religion is just a system of control, and a society of wanting to belong to something and feel you have a purpose. I know many many people will disagree, and I'm happy you've found deeper meaning in it, that was just my opinion ^_^.
But these people disgust me, I'm surprised nobody has brought up the issue with the word '***', and how offensive it is to use in the first place on many levels. *shakes head* These people are out to get their site shut down, and be hunted down at their house and tortured >_> I wouldn't mind either one personally. I agree with AR, just another example of humanity boundless stupidity x.x

It is truely terrible what these people have done, and if i was there, i doubt id be able to control my rage. So completely disrespectful. But we all seem to agree with that.
However, as stated before, It seems that this topic has turned into a war of "the bible is wrong" and the "bible is right".
All I have to say to this is PLEASE drop the subject...right now...PLEASE...this is not going to go anywhere...and will create hatred amoungst the boardmemebers for differing views. Most of what is the typical views of each side have been posted twice at least. PLEASE end this.
I fear it will only get more insulting. I'm sorry for even posting.

luckily, I don't see any insulting going on, so it's good that this can end on a neutral note. People have differing opinions, I think we all accept that. Sorry to post again, but it's better to have a post ending on a happy note, I think ^^. Don't be sorry for posting hun, it's nice to be concerned about the feelings of others. But no need to get upset, overreacting does nothing for one's emotions.
I still love everyone on this board, no matter what religion, or none at all. <3 Don't worry fp, I won't post anymore, I just wanted to lighten the tension a little. *snugs*
