Greeneyed,,,, you don't go to church, which was commanded by God, you don't believe what the Bible clearly says about homosexuality yet you claim to be a Christian. You are a living breathing oxymoron.
An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or, more rarely, oxymora) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. Oxymoron is a loanword from Greek oxy ("sharp") and moros ("dull"). Thus the word oxymoron is itself an oxymoron.
Oxymorons are a proper subset of the expressions called contradictions in terms. What distinguishes oxymorons from other paradoxes and contradictions is that they are used intentionally, for rhetorical effect, and the contradiction is only apparent, as the combination of terms provides a novel expression of some concept, such as "cruel to be kind".

Forestlady, no need for you to cuss me either. I have not cussed you, now I expect the same from you. As for your misguided assumtion that Jesus doesn't care about homosexuality, here....
“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Mark 10:6-9).

I do not have a religion. I prefer to enjoy the benefits of any religion, and create my own faith out of it.
I put the people in my avatar because I respect them as men of virtue, honor, and integrity, values lacking all too much in today's society.
I was accused repeatedly of spreading hate and disrespect where I do not believe I have shown any. I dont hate homosexuals nor do I believe they should be deprived any rights.
I dont mind them getting married, I dont even mind them adopting children, holding office or any of that. None of that is my business, because I simply make my opinion based on the virtues and ethics of each individual.
Fact of the matter is though, there are people, homosexual people, or people with homosexual feelings that do not want them. It is akin to people who were born one sex, and do not want to be that sex anymore.
I make the suggestion that there actually is homosexuals that do not want the feelings they have, it is because I "pick on them" or abuse them, or because they do not longer want to tolerate any abuse.
because apparantley you are psychic and know for a fact the thinking of an entire group of people. Obviously you will know how to make me rich.
My friend that I met three years ago initially had a crush on me, and I found out from the chick I was hooking up with. I confront him kindly and told him it just wont happen. "have you ever considered hooking up with chicks at all?" i says to him.
Well then he goes and tells me "of course, I love women they are beautiful and I would love to have a relationship, but I cant because I am gay." Well I said why dont you at least try it?
He goes on to tells me that he is really enjoying the time he is spending with her and all that, and he tries to fight urges to hit on men and does his best not to think of them in certain ways.
Of course I did not really want to hear details.
I was not a some kind of physician or anything, I am just some guy.
And up until I met him, I did not even realize that there were homosexuals that wanted to become hetero. Not "BI-sexual", but honest to truth wanted to be straight. That issue never even crossed my mind in life.
Well he was not around much longer
Sure opened my eyes up though...he has to treat the ideology as if it is an illness that has to be cured.
Is he damned to a life of torment because he just has no other choice?
So please don't come at me with ignroance, hate and all that. I dont claim that all gay people are sick

As soon as you stop calling homosexuals sinful.

I am not calling them sinfull.God is in his word that is the Bible. I am pointing out what God has to say about it.

If a person has urges that are contrary to nature, that is one thing; acting out on those unnatural desires is another thing altogether.
