I am not ashamed to admit two things about my life. One, I am a Christian. Second, I am bisexual. I am a Libertarian at heart, and I believe in equal social rights for all.
I have heard church propaganda over and over again about how it is immoral to be gay, or to engage in any homosexual activity. The pastor at the Lutheran church that I used to go to has said, "Gays are immoral and will burn in hell." Most right-wing "Christians" will say the same thing. In high school, I fell into the same trap. I tried to repress those homosexual desires. I spoke out about immoral the gays were, and that the government should only be filled with Christians who would create a perfect Christian society.
It was my first year of college that I finally stopped fooling myself. I had repressed my desires for nearly 3 years. It is time for right-wing "Christian" politicians to accept that homosexuality is a biological function. There is no choice in sexuality. If sexuality is a choice, can straight people change to being gay? No! So why do anti-gay groups think gays can become straight? There is no 'on/off' switch that can be flipped to change sexuality.
What these anti-gay groups should be focusing on is not gays. I donât know the exact figures, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of references to helping the poor in the Bible, while there are a dozen or so references condemning homosexuality. A real Christian would not spend his/her time condemning homosexuals; instead they should help the poor, needy, and less-fortunate.
@SPowerQ The word is inspired by God. Man may have written it, but it was the words of God. An all powerful, all knowing, all present God would never allow his teachings to be screwed up because of human hands...
i personnaly have both gay and straigt freinds and have no problem getting on with people of both sexuallatys. i am an atheist but am open to all ideas so this is not really a biased opinnion. i dont think its a good thing that some people have such an oppression against homosexuals they are no different from you and i.
redbedhead, I read the first page and you were basically giving NO CONTRIBUTION, at all to this conversation. You stated the same thing the thread starter posted except you went Christian orthodox on us. Documentation is not proof of deities flying high and making stuff happen. To thread starter, being bi-sexual is a variation of sexuality, but Christianity apparently for some reason detests such sexuality for some reason, when you're supposed to believe in a world-wide flood and a boat containing all the species on earth, male and female. Also, would a god detest a belief, look down upon it and ask all others to do so? I don't think he would do so, thats just me. I find detesting homosexuals will not help. You can't help liking the opposite gender if you're straight and the same gender if your homosexual. You can't choose. So from now on, whoever reads this, spare the "your going to hell if your gay" fit. Thank you.
thelistman, i dont know but there mine be a homosexual demoned in you(this is not a joke) and if you read the artikle about the guy you mite understand
