You cannot compare Hitler to God.
You might say: "Well, God is sending all the people that don't follow Him to Hell, just like Hitler killed all the Jews just because he didn't like them.
Perhaps it was wrong to compare the real, tangible Hitler to the meatphysical. However, I can compare the real, tangible Hitler to your real, tangible church. It, like Hitler did, uses brainwashing, propaganda, and suppression to make people believe what it wants them to. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's right hand man, said explicitly "If you tell a lie enough times, people will eventually take it as truth." Pick up 1984. It proves my point wondrously.

Y'know what Christians I like? Those who don't condemn others. But y'know what Christians I really like? Those which don't even think, "Uh oh, Bob likes men. He's probably going to hell." It's those ones that follow the preachings of Christ, the ones that love their neighbours, the ones that know that kindness and love are rewarded by kindness and love, be it from a man to a woman or a man to a man.

Thing is, until Christians can start giving secular reasons why homosexuality is wrong, they will not be taken seriously by our secular society; perhaps that's why so many of them are so angry, and resort to thinking "Oh, well, if I'm not right, the entire world must be taken over by sin! That's gotta be it! My one religion out of thousands couldn't possibly be wrong!"

Anyway, before I veer any further off topic, I'm gonna go ahead and head off to bed.

Re: God says: All gay-haters should be burned to death.

And then the Saints came marching in!

Woot.

Sorry, I'm back to bother the living and the misguided. Hang on. The latter statement refers exclusively to myself.

And then Catholicism stated that there was Purgatory, and then the Latter-Day Saints (or was it Jehovah's Witnesses? I can't remember there are just so many different Christian sects) said "follow us or you'll go to Hell regardless of if you're Catholic, Protestant, or anything!" Excuse the extrapolation, I just love how every Christian has varying degrees of condemnation on this issue.

Quote:

Sounds great!

Question: Is that fair on gay people?

Oh, wait. Sorry, I read some more of your post.

Quote:
I've seen homosexual converted heterosexual on the Christian board I often frequent. With God, anything is possible.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any. Call me ignorant, but there don't appear to be many cases of homosexual converted heterosexual as the one you've used as an example.

Kudos to your friend, though. ^^

Oh, and the one, final, teensy, weensy little point:

So if there's the choice between having a virtuous, hard-working and upstanding atheist who does, say, a lot of charity work but (obviously) doesn't believe in God, and a Christian who's not-so-virtuous (but still attends Mass every week) does that make the atheist damned for life?

Logic, as you would have it, is either subjective or very strange indeed, if your answer is an affirmative. Perhaps Safer's suggestion is the call of the order...

Ah, yes, but unfortunately logic like this has no place in our secular society.

Yes, apparently all mariage is supposed to bond both Genders together. Isn't this what Christians can't deal with? Just becuase people are of different genders Dosen't mean they can't bond. If Christians got rid of this value the world would be a magical place.
Plus, the only thing Heterosexulas have that Homosexuals don't is reproduction, if a greater force is brainwashing people to only like the opposite Gender, then that greater force does not care about people feelings, and is simply using us.
Plus: are you preaching?

I'm not condemning anyone, I'm just trying to answer Nictel's (and everyone else's) question(s) to the best of my ability.
Really? Oops. Remind me to turn off the TV when the Vatican's being shown.

Quote:
Question: Is that fair to God?

Then of course everyone asks "Why did he/He give us free will?"

And Christians answer "To give us all the chance to follow him/Him of our own accord."

To which one wonders why free will was ever useful, in that sense.

Of course, since I'm arguing strictly with my little nuance of Christian knowledge, I apologise to mod and Sahrrie if it looks like I'm religion bashing.

Quote:
Why would I call you ignorant?
Many cases of homosexual aren't true believers.
In fact, most claim-to-be Christians aren't true believers, either.
Self deprecation is the key to having fun in life.

Ahh...well, I guess everyone is a "true believer" depending on who's judging them.

In fact, some "true believers" probably thought that killing Dr. Tiller, the "OMFGIT'STHEABORTIONDOCTOR" man was justified.

Which then begs the question of why some people class them as true believers, others don't, and who's right?

Oh, yes, and even New Testament is soo interpretive. It's rather hard to decide what's definitive, isn't it?

Quote:
Yes, it does, because the atheist never put their faith in Christ.
They believed they could in effect "save themselves" by doing good deeds.
So that's the nice way of classifying all atheists as selfish self-satisfying persons, is it?



That's certainly a rather insulting inference, if I read your post and the implicit generalisation correctly.

PS: Oof. I apologise about the wearing out. It's only evening here, and I'm feeling spritely and disjointed.

also: WHY create tons of peope for the sole purpose of serving him?

Are you sure?

Genesis 19 tells a story that leads to say acting on homosexuality is a sinful act. It's in the Bible for a reason.

Leviticus 18 is self-explanatory.

The two parts of Romans go together. I excluded what was in between for general lack of necessity to mention. In Romans 1:32, it also points out that it's people that do homosexual acts are the ones that are condemned, not the ones that are just homosexual by birth or by traumatizing experience.

As Romans does, Corinthians also has two parts that were purposefully not connected by the verses in between. The second part addresses how when someone has Christ in them, they are new creations. While the homosexuality may still be there, the wish to express it is gone, effectively making it "disappear".



I am a Christian, and I am against homosexuality, but not homosexuals. If I make a friend who is homosexual, I'm going to try and help them realize that it's wrong eventually. If I didn't say anything, I'd be more of a "gay-hater" than if I did say something. Why? Simply because, I don't wish that they should have to go to hell. If I say nothing, it means that I don't care about them enough to want better for them than to suffer.

That's not accurate about all "Christians", however, as some may tend to take The Word as enough reason to spite homosexuals and not even try to care for them as they should be doing. I'm not one of those. Nor do I approve of their actions.

I am also aware that homosexuality isn't something that just goes away. My bisexuality won't go away. My fetishes won't go away. But that's not to say that a homosexual can't be happier actively avoiding any homosexual lusts knowing there's something for them after this life. It's not to say I'm not happier already, knowing there's eternal salvation waiting for me, instead of indulging in the fetishes that I'm so incredibly tempted to give into.

Also, even being Christian does not mean I agree with the views of other "Christians" (although I have not checked to see if I agree or disagree with anyone in this thread). Reason being: I do not acknowledge everyone who calls themselves a Christian as a Christian. Just because I say I'm the ruler of the world doesn't make me the ruler of the world, and there are people out there who call themselves Christians without believing what a Christian must believe. There's a church nearby my house, in fact, that calls itself a Christian church, while holding not Christian beliefs, but pagan beliefs.

There are actual studies. Most likely, the result is part genetics, and part how you grow as a person - sexual orientation grows with you.
And dismissing is as 'anecdotal' is very irrelevant as the majority of bisexuals (and probably homosexuals) can agree with me here. I believe it's, as Astarael put it, "fluid".

People believe it's a choice because someone proposed that as one of the causes - but then dismissed what they said - but ideas seem to stick among bigots. :/

I, for instance, have OCD.
OCD is a disorder in which one has an odd passing thought (for instance, if you see a knife, and imagine stabbing someone with it) and dwells on said thought, trying to rationalize and make sense of it. The person with OCD will think about the thought and be given to anxiety and depression over it because they think that because they had that fleeting thought, they MUST be a serial killer, and so on so forth. This doesn't necessarily mean they want to stab someone with the knife, it just means they had a strange passing thought.
Thanks for comparing homosexuality to serial killing, shows how credible you are.

What you are really saying is, "...in order for you to live a moral life, you can never have sexual relations and you must live a life devoid of true romantic love. You have to give up on your dreams of finding your soul mate." Prejudice often demands something of others that the prejudiced person is unwilling to demand of himself.

Why would any just God give you eternal punishment for loving someone? Having sex is something humans deserve experiencing, homosexual or not, Christian or not. A just god would never throw anyone in hell for loving.
Again, prejudice demands someone to do something they are not willing to do themselves.

Re: God says: All gay-haters should be burned to death.

The problem, Nitctel, is that you're taking most of quotes verses out of context or taking them literally. For example the verse in Matthew. Jesus wasn't saying to literally cut off your own limbs. He's using a metaphor.

I realise that. The point I was trying to make is that people do that with the verses that are useful to them. They pick those that show their point but ignore the others. Either you take the whole bible literally or you ignore it. You can't just pick and choose the verses that suit you. The Bible is useless as a religious book. It's outdated, a fine way to get a glimpse in to ancient history but nothing more.

There are books that tell us that we should cut our veins open when we're having a fever. Yet we do not do so any more. Then why do some still follow a book that is just so based on old believes?

Well you have to realize that a lot things changed during the New Testament that nullified that old laws and commandments of the Old Testament.

Take into mind the metaphors the Bible uses. You also have to take into consideration of the times the Bible was written. Thousands of years ago, there were sayings and words back then that mean something completely different to what they do now (e.g., Shakespeare).

What makes the Bible useless? And what constitutes as a useful religious book?

Then why is it still being used?

No questioning that.

My first reaction would be nothing. As everything would be an impeachment on the believes of others.

It's a bit like those diet books, everyone of them as a different method to accomplish the same goal.
The same goes for religious books, now I don't have a problem with people following any of it persé. However they are used to justify people's actions. "It is in the Bible so I do this and that." And they disrupt and hurt other people's lives with it.

To give a crude example: It's like eating the neighbours cat infront of their eyes and going "My diet book said I should eat more fresh raw meat." We can all see that's wrong but somehow when religious books say something it's almost taken for granted. But at the same time they're written by similar people who write books today.

If you do want a religious book, then the leaders of that religion should come together and point out wise men and women who will write a new book. Written with examples and the standards of today.


How can we look at two people in love and say that it is wrong, that they are sick, that they need help? Is the way to a good life not in our hearts? Do we not feel pain when we see the hungry, the poor, the hurt? Do we not feel the need to help them? True faith is in our hearts. Not in books or buildings.

Aye. The problem is xenophobia. There is nothing morally wrong with homosexuality.

The epistles also teach a lot for the modern-day Christian. They were written by Paul to the Christian churches who were struggling with the ways of the Old Testament. I love the books after the Gospels like Hebrews and 1st and 2nd Peter, because they help reteach the Old Covenant with Christ on our side now. Anyway, other than the sacrificing and such, Paul still sets up a lot of standards Christians should live by in his epistles. One is still to continue doing what God intended when he made man and woman--fill the earth. God considers homosexuality an abomination and that's not how he set everything up in the world. Man is supposed to be with a woman, and that's how they fill the earth. I truly think that homosexuality is against God's rules and I just don't understand the growing community of homosexual Christians who don't see that. They even start churches just for people like them. Don't they realize that God sent brimstone upon an entire city because of the homosexuality within? I don't think that he agrees with these churches.
