Most people who advocate sexual "freedom" usually don't have much respect for our (i.e. monogamists) choices. They (openly) consider us backward, conditioned, brainwashed, even though they're the ones who are more aggressive about promoting their lifestyle as the one which is "right". Although their worldview denies the existence of "right" and "wrong", as well as the free will. Ironic, isn't it?
How about if you showed some respect for Christian people? Bah, hypocrites...
Well, what can I say? What you seed is what you get. There was a time when the church had a lot of power and did a lot of very bad things in the name of Christianity. When I said something that happened in history lots of you here said that those people weren't following the word of God. None the less, today you have to pay for the mistakes they did in the name of God. I don't consider you guilty, but history can't be washed away. So now you are treated exactly as others who didn't follow the Christian rules. You are bullied because other rules are in place. Ironic, isn't it?
I didn't notice that. Where?
1) As you grow in your Christian Faith and Walk , read the Bible diligently, and obtain wisdom and discernment from God as part of his sanctifying work in your life.....you will eventually come to see that Homosexuality is not only a lifestyle of sin , but it is a gross perversion of love / extremely dangerous to the Players as well as society as a whole with the STD epidemic / and an addiction to secure emotional love from the same sex *usually from a childhood emotional imbalance between child and the same sex Parent. As you grow in your love for The Lord who saved you from your many sins, you will become more sensitive and aware of lifestyles which many call 'acceptable, optional, and an alternative' and the deciet which goes along with them
2) Yes, it is wrong and disgusting that so much apathy is shown toward the topic of homosexuality , and that the populace thinks its just another acceptable form of expressing 'love' . I hope you will choose to help people addicted to this dangerous and perverted lifestyle see the harm they are bringing upon themselves instead of taking a convenient backseat of apathy and enablement. To do the latter , is not very loving.
If that is a nice way to speak about people who have feelings like you and me... well, nice choice words...
Dave used statistical data to support his claims. Do you see a Biblical quote anywhere?
He calls homosexual people sinners based on statistics, not based on the Christian "biblical law". Ok... Nice one.
Anyways here is a quote from what he said:
As you grow in your Christian Faith and Walk , read the Bible diligently, and obtain wisdom and discernment from God as part of his sanctifying work in your life.....you will eventually come to see that Homosexuality is not only a lifestyle of sin.....
U mad, bro?
Mad cow disease... I'm terrible bro...
Technically, they are treated equally. Tell me one thing that is forbidden to a homosexual, which is at the same time allowed to a heterosexual.
Technically? They are treated equally. In real life, well, that is a different thing...
See my response to the second quote in my post. Keyword: "love".
Yeah... Gay people are retarded and they don't know the dangers they are exposed to... If CallMeDave found a statistics about STDs and homosexual people, so can they.
Let me point out a thing: I don't think a gay person would want any love from CallMeDave which calls them perverts and thinks about them in terms of a gross distortion of love. Just saying... But CallMeDave is worried about their well being.
@jlay
Are you aware of what happened to Catholic charities? I'd say you aren't. Or, if you are, you don't care.
Probably. Is that the story about the Catholic charities who supported child adoption and which closed their doors because they had to accept homosexual couples?
Since you say I don't care, that is probably the story. Anyways, I am waiting for a confirmation for this one.
Whether they get married has little to do with if they want the right. I'd feel safe in saying the majority of gays WANT the right. I WANT the right to own a firearm, but guess what? i don't own one. The gay agenda has very radical elements, and yes, there is little doubt that they aren't happy keeping their sex lives behind closed doors. They want an endorsement. And they want those who disagree to be held criminally and civily liable.
They want rights as everybody else. You are not saying anything new. You won't be criminally charged if you disagree, but you might be charged if you go in a public place and start shouting that gay people are sinners.
Let me put this way (only in theory and just as a speculation): Let's say that I am bothered every time I see a Christian church. Let's close them all down. You can be a Christian in your own home. How would you like that?
@Philip
I think that homosexuals often push for rights to match those of married heterosexuals because they wish for their lifestyle to be seen by society as mainstream, unstigmatized, mass accepted and just as morally upright as the marriages of heterosexuals. Psychologically, to be seen as or to think of themselves as being perverted or morally repugnant, are also constantly horrible reminders that their lifestyle is SINFUL, and an abomination to God. They KNOW it is a perversion, but distance themselves from and also deny God and His Word, while also lying to themselves, mostly because they can't psychologically handle knowing that they are deliberately living a perverted, sinful life. So they want to clean up their conscience as well as to legitimize their lifestyle. And they do these by pretending to themselves that God doesn't matter or exist and by campaigning to legitimize their practices in the collective mind of society.
Without any offence to anyone here, I will repeat something: why should we uphold a "biblical law" given by a God which you can't prove it exists?
Anyways, let's assume you are right: Homosexual people might have a medical problem (maybe genetic). At the moment we haven't found a cure for it. So that means that homosexual people shouldn't have the same rights as you and me? They have the right to live a normal life. The fact that what they consider to be normal does not match with what you think, well, let's call it diversity.
And the only problem that most people are bothered here and talk about is their sexual behavior. You speak there of some psychological issue and other stuff. You should know that the "sexual instinct" is one of the basic instincts of every human being.
You are allowed to use your basic instinct, but they aren't... How is that? They should fight against their "immoral" needs...
Why don't you fight against that and never have sex at all? That would be wonderful.
