I go by the Bible and not any church. If I dont agree with a church or organization, I have nothing to do with it for my own sake. Men and women sleeping with the same sex is one of the most extreme sins; it is even back to back with the Commandments, intercourse with animals, and idolatry.
It depends on the group. The hell-fire& damnation types are quick to point out that in this life, you can blow it.
Originally posted by gentledissident I think religion is not helping us get there, as it puts emphasis on another life and thus lessens the importance of our only life. It takes away the urgency. The fables paint us as separate personalities. I think they keep us apart.
It depends on which group. Those who see rules and regulations tend to be bound, and those who see that they're freed from their failures to try again are heavily different in viewpoint, within the church.
My definition of "good" is liberation. I can't tell what theirs is.
That's a relief. Shows consistency in thinking.
And now for something completely different. Guns? I like to hit targets with weapons. It's just about hitting the target.

Yuri, in japanese pop culture, is the word used to describe the homosexual relationship between two women in novels, TV shows, and Movies. I find it amusing and Ironic you're speaking against it in such a way with a name that has close ties with homosexuality.
Either way, no, we don't screw animals, I don't even know how you can make the comparison. There is a keen difference between loving a fellow human being and loving an entirely different species. It's sad that people don't see that.

Sure.
If I'm a christian, I'm going to need to understand the book I follow, and expect it to point a harsh finger at me, at times.
So: Matthew 7:1-6
1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 "Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. 6 "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Now, people usually quote that 1 verse out of context to mean that Christians aren't supposed to judge at all. The whole context does not state that.
Some manage to get the first 2 verses together. The measure you measure by is the one that will be used on you. This definitely leaves no room for hypocrisy. But this is still not all the context.
Then it gets to the log-in the eye bit. When you don't have your own problems taken care of, you can't see to help others remove theirs. THAT is the point of human judgement, to remove problems, not to condemn people. And you can't be successful at helping others change themselves when you won't do it first. But still not done.
The last verse: if people choose to live with their problems, quit giving them your help to change. Some people do not want help. This is a direct attack against the Pharisaical viewpoint, where they dictated the traditional customs additional to the law as law to the common man.
So as a whole: Don't judge unless you're ready to be judged by that law. Only help others in matters you have succeeded against. Lean that not everyone is going to value things the way you do.
We can see where this would apply to Gays, if being Gay is a sin. And some of us do come to that conclusion, Biblically speaking. The thing is that outside-induced "morality" will not work, and it will be trampled by people who do not agree. And this does align with other scriptures pretty well.
BUT: it's not like Christ's commentary ends there:
1. The balancing act (road we travel) is narrow.
2. Warning about deceitful followers of God. JUDGE the fruit of their actions!
3. And how solid the foundation will be if you rest it on him.
4. Then goes into the amazement of the people.
AND: it's not like Christ's commentary begins there, The whole of the Beatitudes comes before this (Chapters 5&6)edit on 1-6-2012 by CynicalDrivel because: (no reason given)

OMG that's it!!!! I figured it out!!!!
OMG OMG OMG!!
Ok, here's how it is...
All these fundamentalist evangelical redneck churches attack gays all the time. They whine and cry and complain "The next thang ya know, them quares is gonna be out havin sex with animals!!". THAT is where the contention comes in! I mean, afterall, everybody KNOWS how the redneck, undereducated, bible thumping bunch have their way with their farm animals on a regular basis!
It's not that they hate gays, they're afraid they'll take all the animals from them and they're jealous!!!
This should solve the problem.
Dear Bible Thumping, undereducated redneck,
There is no need to worry. The homosexuals are not interested in your nanny goat or any other animal that you hold near and dear to your heart. They only wish to be with other adults of their own gender who are consenting (that means they say "sure, I'd love to!"). They will not try to "move in" on your territory or take anything from you nor are they interested in you in any way. Your way of life is safe and they want no part of it. It's ok.
See, problem solved

This is the most amusing post that I have read on this thread yet. Seriously. And it makes a valid point. Perhaps this is what the Rednecks are actually worried about?
I'm tellin ya dude, this is what it was all about!! Just outright jealousy, they heard about those gays being animal rights activists and it sent a chill through their bones!!

Really? I saw a lot of people wearing different types of garments at the same time.
Leviticus 19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.

Thats just ridiculous.
There are homosexuals that prey on children and animals, just as there are heterosexuals that do. (in reference to your letter)
There are homosexuals of all kinds as well as heterosexuals. Just as there are Christians and non Christians of all sorts.
Lumping any group into one category is silly.
Sorry , I had to speak up, and usually enjoy your posts, so please don't take it too personally.

It's sad that if all species were to make love and have sex with the same sex, you won't exist. Now who the # gave birth to you? Did you come from two lesbians yuri girls? I don't think so. Homosexual is abomination period. Lets say If everyone were to be come homosexual on this planet, in 100 years the human kind will cease not to exist.
