Is it wrong to advocate homosexuality as a sin?

[Sunstone]

Homosexuality has destroyed whole civilizations! The Romans allowed it -- and no less than a thousand years later, they collapsed!

how did it destroy them?

Does that mean the Visagoths were Fundamentalists?

San Fransisco allowed it, and now they have earthquakes and almost no parking!

 

[Sunstone]

how did it destroy them?

It is well known that homosexuality undermined Roman civilization by destroying the sanctity of their marriages to their Acme Latex Love Dolls. Once their marriages were no longer sacred, it sapped their will to live -- just as it does today.

Does that mean the Visagoths were Fundamentalists?

We can only hope the barbarians of yesterday were as much fundamentalist as many of the barbarians of today.

I was hoping she'd stick around and drive more people away from Christianity.

Im pretty sure people don't choose to be gay, because then they have to put up with bible bashing ignorant fools like you who think their orientation is a crime against nature.

You don't need be like this my friend, you need to understand that there are a lot of odds that goes with the practice of same sex engagements -it's your life to live fine, do so but do not justify it. People in most cases that are against would refer to homosexuality from a religious point of view, but i think there is sufficient grounds to debate whether the practice is right or wrong without even talking bible.

You're wrong. Prove to me that homosexuals aren't born gay.

Prove to someone they do. I do not agree with this period, i can understand the off-balance hormone explanation by medical science, but to say a homosexual might be born that way can seriously give grounds to a host of serious ills to society.

Feel free to list the host of serious ills to society that would arise due to homosexuality not being a choice.

While you are at it you might explain how you went about choosing to be heterosexual.

Then you can explain intersex from a religious standpoint.

I won't hold my breath.

That's so interesting. I need to know about this. I'm a 53-year old lesbian in a loving, committed, exclusive relationship with the loveliest woman in the world, age 50. Please explain how our relationship is damaging or wrong. Thank you.

Since when has it been up to you or me to tell people they're wrong? No this is wrong champ, gay people are just people and we should mind our own damned business and let them live their lives as an equal

 

[Trey of Diamonds]

but do not justify it.

There is no need to justify it because it is a perfectly normal, natural, loving relationship. It is the people living in hatred who must constantly justify their actions and words.

Who accurately prophesized that Carico would be banned? Hail to him or her!

I really don't understand that.

Seriously.:help:

Carico was just a devout Christian going about being a devout Christian. What she was posting IS the faith. There is nothing odd unusual out of the way extreme or farcical about anything she posted. And she was just doing what Christians DO,

Wasdapobem?

 

[OmarKhayyam]

BTW, the problem with openly gay relationships is that "they serve as an Evil example to others in like cases offending."

Kinda like - Christian see Christian do.

Or something like that.

Anyway that is the language in the law as written. When I was a PO one the 1st cases I had was "the abominable and detestable crime against nature." A felony charge.

And "the love whose name cannot be spoken" REALLY was. I saw 2 of those cases come up and the courtroom was cleared for both. Even the volunteer Ladies were told to leave. And the record was sealed. And they meant SEALED. Only the presiding Judge or the Chief Judge could open it. Defense council couldn't even read it w/o approval. And when the case was actually heard - both times - opposing council stipulated to the facts as alleged. That way they didn't to say out loud what happened.

The fear and aversion to homosexuality is both broad and deep within the religious community. And law reflected that; in both word and deed.

Yes, that's why I wish she had not been banned. She served as an excellent example of a devout, consistent Christian. And she was an utter jerk. Coincidence?

do not group christains together under a stereotype. It is the same as saying that all homosexuals are whores, and all black people are stupid.

Agreed. Not all Christians are bigots. Unfortunately, the bigots have been louder than the open-minded ones lately.

 

[shortfade2]

it is not a matter of being open minded, it is a matter of not hating people just becausethey believe what you dont. you can yell at them to try to get them to believe, but dont hate on them. You can disprove things, but dont just see 'atheist' and get all steamed up

I...don't. In fact, I'm agnostic, and there are several atheist members of my church. Also, I believe that not hating people because they believe what you don't requires an open mind, so I'm not completely sure what your issue is with my statement.

 

[shortfade2]

i wasnt accusing you of geting steamed up, and in a scence, yes it does require an open mind. What I was trying to get at is, you can be completely faithful and confident in your religion/belief and still be nice, kind and compassionate.
