Misconceptions (Homosexuality)

[Randall McNally]

Just as there are courts that are deciding otherwise. Who's right? Who's wrong?

More often it's a matter of what society will bear. Social revolutions tend to follow the path that homosexual marriage is currently following. A few judicial/constitutional breakthroughs will be followed closely by backlash from the courts and legislatures. Eventually, the anti- crowd will have to come up with something more constitutionally sound than 'majority rule' to continue to arbitrarily deny marriage rights, and when they don't, we'll move on to atheist presidents or something.

You've still got the same rights as I do. Like I said, I can't marry another man either.

Zaac...you sure seem to say this alot. You aren't having certain...urges are yah? *pokes the closet with a flashlight* Hello, ya in there?


And Penumbra...I am willing to argue the fact that you are supressing your homopsexuality rather than "Cured" of it. I know a few "ex-gays" And they say they still strugle with the urges, but have been brainwashed into hating it that they hate anf fear it. Have you read any of the "Ex-Gay and Psychological damage" forums that have been recently put up? You might find them a very interesting read.

Come on. When I was involved in the homosexual community, it was a bunch of scoffers. They hated God because the truth of the Word pierced their hearts, just as it did mine. You cannot tell me what I saw and heard among them.

I doubt that most of the scoffing that your homosexual brethren did of Christianity was about god and his supposed truth so much as how people use the bible to condemn homosexuals and justify their hate and intolerance of them.

As an atheist, it really is very difficult to swallow the notion that people hate something (and often you personally) that not only you have no control over, but something that hurts nobody--it usually doesn't matter how good of a person you are either. And considering that dislike is rarely negotiable it makes it even more frustrating. Most of us don't live in such a black and white world, and to know that the bible's word will never change and you will therefore always be considered an enemy to many of those who follow it, it is simply quite disheartening and scary.

I don't fear your god; I seriously fear many of his followers. I imagine the same is true for most homosexuals also.

I agree with you Clarity1, I am alarmed that someone would hate a concept, yet pretend to not hate the people. For someone to be driven by such fear and ignorance is quite sad. There is nothing wrong with homosexuals, and one should learn to accept those that live differently from themselves.

I joined this forum to hear the opinions of Christians yet reading this post saddens me, I did not expect some to be so hateful.

Why are some driven by such fear and so strongly believe that they understand their God, and that Satan is the cause of all "sin".

LOL

It always comes down to that... people that don't agree with homosexuality are 'fearful', 'hateful', 'ignorant', 'bigot', whatever other name you can think of. I find this laughable. I also find this talk quite ignorant for all the claims of being 'open-minded'. 'Open-mindedness' is a paradox in itself, besides. One must close themselves off from the simple notion of God's love in order to be 'open-minded' and accepting of every perversion that comes along.

depends on the god and how loving he is
