Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?

[Roxter]

Even though my Christian side wants to say it's wrong, I totally tolerate and embrace people who have made that choice. Like said, it MAY be due to genetics but personally, I think we need more scientific proof than just two parts of the DNA, like the post above says. The Lord just works in ways like that.

As you may know, I am very Christian but my attitude and personality is just too nice and friendly to say that homosexuality is wrong. That's why I never express that opinion at school, as I go to a Christian school. I may express it in Government class though, as our teacher does ask us sometimes what our opinion on current issues are, as he really likes that when we say. He's a really good teacher because of that.

Being gay is wrong according to the Bible, so I believe all Christians should look at it as a sin just like lying, stealing, or murdering.

As far as scientific evidence? That's a bunch of bull. I know for a fact that genetics can cause a man to be "more manly" (higher testosterone for example), but if there was a gene that caused someone to be gay outright, than that gene would almost never get passed on as gay couples can not reproduce.

Therefore, the amount of gays would slowly dwindle, rather than slowly grow as we see in today's population.

I see your point. But my thought was we need more evidence than just two parts of the DNA to really prove it's genetic IMO.

And yes, while I do believe that homosexuality is a sin, I am still friendly and kind to those who have chosen that lifestyle. I may be Christian but I try not to force my beliefs on those who don't.

What you are doing is conforming to this world. The bible says that people who overlook or support a sin, are considered that same as committing the sin itself. You are too worried about being nice and not hurting other people than spreading truth to people.

I would sort-of agree. I don't like how the entertainment industry is glamorizing LGBT stuff, as it just seems forced and they are committing a sin, I agree. However, I wouldn't go up to a gay guy and say "HEY, BEING GAY IS WRONG! CHANGE NOW!". It's just not considered correct behavior in today's world. Is it so wrong to not confront homosexuals, even though you know it's a sin?

i sense a westboro baptist church supporter in here 😉 lol

 

[Fait]

Everyone sins and as far as I know God takes every sin equally including if you murdered someone all you need to do is accept him as your savoir and try to change your life while you are on earth and you be fine.

Being Gay is a sin but so is a lot of other sins I am straight but along as you's leave me alone and don't try to get with me in a gay marriage (there be trouble) I am fine and will support them still.

Basically your life do what you want

 

[Silverthorn]

If God did not want homosexuals, I highly doubt we would even be here.

And I really do not see how being gay or straight hurts anyone, I mean come on. I am all for it, and there should be no excuse to discriminate against gays. There's a law that says you cannot discriminate against blacks, why not gays? 🙂

 

[Arch]

Personally I see no issues.

Do what you want with your life, it's yours and yours to keep. Don't ware it being unhappy as that would be being ungrateful. Just do as you wish.....

 

[Forces of Steel]

Homosexuality can also be found in nature.

 

[Chris K]

I see nothing wrong with homosexuality. Do what you want, when you want. Because, you're going to do it anyways...right?

 

[Ste]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with homosexuality. The people who believe that homosexuals choose to be homosexual are very naive. I highly doubt that someone would choose a lifestyle in which there are increased chances of being bullied and dealing with discrimination. More and more young homosexual people are committing suicide each year because of bullying and some people have the audacity to say that homosexuals choose to be homosexual. No one would choose to have to face the obstacles that homosexual people face.

The world would really be a much, much better place without the intolerant, judgemental people that exist who seem to be more bothered about other people than themselves. I was going to say that there are bigger issues in the world than homosexuality but that is wrong. It is wrong because homosexuality is not even an issue.

 

[JLogan]

There is nothing wrong with homosexuality. I can't believe this is even being debated. Honestly, I can't respect anyone who has an issue with homosexuality. I can't believe people even care what other people do with their bodies.

Why is the possibility to NOT be able to marry the one you love even a thing? Where I live it is still illegal, but hopefully this supreme court thing will fix that. I'm not well versed on the bible in the SLIGHTEST being an atheist. but doesn't it say not to judge people and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"? I'm pretty sure it's in there.

Either way, since we are all on the computer right? and I'll bet very few of us use Internet Explorer, because IT IS OUTDATED. Past it's prime, full of flaws, likely to get you hacked.

Yet many people follow these holy books that are YEARS outdated. I'm not trying to slam here I'm just saying.

Let's say there is a god out there, wouldn't he make sure that everyone would get one clear message instead of being able to interpret it a thousand different ways?

Also let's say that one religion, Christians perhaps, are correct. There is a god, we are his children, and we will burn for sinning if we don't accept jesus as our lord and savior. Wouldn't that mean the rest of the entire world is wrong and will burn?

If there was a true god I doubt that would happen.

But enough about that, if you believe that, fine, that is your RIGHT.

I personally have no issues with people of any religion so long as they tolerate the fact that I will not be converted. I have friends from numerous different faiths and we all accept each other. Heck sometimes we even all share our faiths (or lackthereof) with each other, not in the "you're wrong and this is why" way. but in a "I believe this happened" way.

No conversion, just sharing. Kind of like the three word story game. But we all get to finish our complete stories in our own versions.

To people who want to protect the sanctity of marriage what are your thoughts on the divorce rate?

Also am I the only one who has seen that ridiculous commercial about that guy who comes home to his family and talks about the possibility that gay marriage might happen and the wife cries and says she doesn't want a lesbian lover and the little girl asks if her parents will still love her if gays can marry?

Or that one where a little boy falls on the playground and the kid cries and a woman walks up and says "where's your mommy?" and two men's feet walk up?

Do you know how silly that is? I swear whenever I hear no homo all I hear is homo. I gotta stop now or I never will. Be back with funny pictures maybe

I got to here and I have this question, are you talking about homosexuality or religion? Yes, they overlap, but your post is more about religion then it is about homosexuality.

 

[Masterminor]

I was trying to make a point about how I believe religion is outdated, and decisions like gay marriage and other things shouldn't be based off stuff that old. Even in America our founders put the Elastic Clause into our Constitution because they knew that things needed to be able to be added, deleted, or changed. Sorry for any confusion or overkill. I get a little carried away sometimes.

 

[Carson]

I'm kind of embarrassed that this is still a debatable topic in the US. Most of it is due to the prominence of Protestant flavors of Christianity in our culture.

I feel like it is kind of cliche at this point, I still really like the comparison to a diet. Being angry with LGBT marriage because of your religion is like being angry someone else is eating a donut because of your diet. Almost all of us live in secular societies (if not effectively secular societies), and the integration of values unique to a religion into policy would push us away from that.

 

[Nebulous]

22 pages and most people said "there's nothing wrong with homosexuals" (or something like that)... Not much of a debate here, nor should there be. We should all live by "I won't tell you how to live your life and you shouldn't tell me how to live mine."

 

[Joy Division]

I've not got a problem with homosexuals either , they can't help they way there are..it's not a choice...and I just don't go for some of the hatred directed at them.

 

[John]

I do not believe homosexuality is right, for 2 reasons. 1, The main purpose of a marriage is to make kids. It's impossible to make kids with someone of your same sex. 2 I'm a Christian. I do not "hate" homosexuals at all. I do not approve of their life style, but I'm not the judge of someone else's life.

What I can't stand, is homos getting extra rights. I do not believe that anyone should get extra rights due to their sexuality. Again, I'm not the judge.

 

[cyimking]

I personally do not care if you're gay, bi or straight... just be honest about it. One thing that bothers me, is when "friends" pretend to be straight and tell nothing but lies.

What extra right do gay people get above & beyond straight folk John?<br /><br />-- 05 Feb 2015, 23:12 --<br /><br />See this is what cracks me up...apparently Christians see being gay as a sin..

But murderers and rapists who repent are forgiven!

That's partly why I just don't bother with religion..only what I can see and hear.
