look closer, try to understand the post, eiri has seemed to grasp what I meant. It didnt mean pro choice were anti homosexuality, it showed the christian view on homosexuals and unborn children on you and every human being in the whole world, we are truely loved by god and we truely love all human beings as our brothers and sisters even the most wretched, not a nice persons, theieves, homosexuals, rapists and pedophiles, no human being is refused the mercy and love of christ, everyone has their cross to bare.

Eiri if you have no trouble accepting and believe we should love one another surely you must see that loving human beings, means loving all human beings, you say you have trouble accepting that the bible is truth... Forget the bible, its just a book... Look to jesus and his message of love and mercy for all human beings, if you believe in that... If you love that message, you dont need the bible, you will automatically know the truth when you see and hear it.


no one automatically "knows" the truth. Jesus doesn't tell me the truth. I do like jesus' message, but many other historical (and fictional) people have the same message. I do have love and mercy for all. That does not make me christian, and it never will. I assume that you meant by "loving human beings means loving all human beings" that I should love the fetus. Well, it is human genetically, so I guess I should rephrase myself. I love all people. And a fetus is not a person.

However, I still find it very, very offensive that you listed homosexuals with pedophiles, thieves and murderers. Gays and lesbians have love for all people just as you do. They just want the freedom to love the person they are in love with. Why do you want to deny them that? Why do you want them to live a fake life, even though they never can and never will love someone of the opposite gender?

i'd like for you to specifically tell me how it's wrong theologically. Well... And scientifically and biologically. If you're talking about sodom, I can tell you before you even bother to give a meager dispute that you're wrong. As far as biological, etc. We, as humans are given many orifices. We are allowed to use them as we see fit!!! Homosexuals are children of your god too, are they not? So you have no right to damn them to hell or say that their behavior is in any way abomination. It's your duty as a christian to love them and leave it up to your god. Is it not? Seems that the agnostics and atheists know more about your religion that you do. Boohoo.



lpsies:

1. He is not talking about sodom
2. He is not saying that homosexuals are not children of god.
3. He is not damning homosexuals to hell.
4. He is not saying he doesn't love them.

Just because he says homosexuality is wrong you can't assume anything of what you have just expressed in this post. There is many agnostics that hate homosexuality okay. The dissaproval of homosexuality is not only a thing of christians. Homosexuality is considered wrong to most of the people in this planet whether they are christians, jews, agnostics, hindus, budists, communists etc etc. Get that into your head.

would you care to back this up? Just wondering as we live in a pretty tolerant society where people do not discriminate on the basis of race/gender/sexual preference. Obviously there are those who cannot seem to grasp that being gay is not "wrong".

Why is it wrong, in your opinion?

that's because you believe in sin. I, however, believe that everone is solely responsible for their actions. I also don't believe in hell; in my belief, we're all going to the same place in the end, because we are all the same thing. We are the universe, and it is us. So the only reasons for bad actions and punishment for them comes from the living. And those who do bad should be punished for their actions. Can they be forgiven? Obviously; remember, hate the crime, not the criminal. But they still have a debt that they must pay during their lives; because no one knows what the after life is like, or if it even exists. Individual souls certainly don't, since we are all part of the whole.

Repenting means nothing to me. Paying for your crime does. Spend your time doing I was before you made your mistake. Or, take responsibility for what you've done, somehow.

What is wrong with a murderer? He or she killed someone; he removed them from life so that they can no longer enjoy it. Yet, then again, it's just like popping a bubble on top of water. The bubble was part of the water, so it just returned to thw water. It was never really a separate entity.

The pedophile is sick, sick sick. He or she has mental problems and needs to see a psychiatrist. Unfortunately, even if he goes to jail, sees help, or "repents", 90% of pedphiles relapse upon release, and go back to their sickening ways, which is why they have to register in communities.

Stealing is bad on principle; taking that which is not yours. But at least an actual person is not harmed (physically), unlike pedophilia or homicide. And most material things can be replaced; and we should not be so attatched to them in the first place.

there are also many agnostics who hate christians, more-so than who hate homosexuals, i'd be willing to bet. Buddhists absolutely, positively do .N.O.T hate homosexuality on basis of their religion. Nowhere in our doctrines does it say that homosexuality is bad, and buddha himself nver mentioned it. Now, are there people, who hate homosexuals, who also happen to be buddhist? You'd be very hard pressed to find one, but there might be someone out there. But he wouldn't hate homosexuals because he's buddhist, he'd hate them because he's an fool who thinks he's buddhist.


And communism isnt' a religion, edit. It's an economic/political belief. Like capitalism.

there is great discrimination, maybe not so much in terms of race/gender/sexual preference, but people are still dieing in the millions because some individuals don’t believe other individuals are in fact people.

The people discriminated against are the unborn.

Homosexuality is wrong on every level, and we are increasingly seeing testimonies of reformed homosexuals who are continually reaffirming this opinion.

Besides what is good about homosexuality? -nothing, and if there are any benefits does it actually out weight the millions of disadvantages, such as aids? I think not.

they're not people and it's nothing to do with discriminating against the fetus - I don't hate fetuses, I don't advocate that all fetuses be aborted because of what they are :roll:
it's about allowing women to have a .C.H.O.I.C.E to continue her pregnancy or not.

can you back this up please, exactly why is homosexuality wrong "on every level"?
I'm also dubious about "reformed" homosexuals, I don't believe that homosexuality is a choice so I don't see how you can decide to not be gay

.H.I.V is predominantly spread by heterosexual sex. What other "disadvantages" are there to being gay (other than the biggoted views of narrow minded individuals such as yourself)?
What is good about it? The fact that people are allowed to live their lives the way they want without being shamed or guilted about their sexual orientation. I'm not homosexual but i'm sure those who are could give you a long list about what is "good" about it!

Izzy, you judge homosexuals when regular people do th same thing.
Jimmyjackers, it soundsto me like you are not only non-educated but you also discriminate and judge, you have soooooo much to learn, just like so many other pro-lifers that I have known. Book learning is fine but their is the real world too, you need to get out more and see what is going on, honestly, my jobs, traveling and the war has taught me more than what you will ever learn and also my relationships.
Good luck!

foetuses are people until they are proven not to be people, and since no one has or ever will then you will always be guilty of discrimination, and genocide.

well, to put it simply, there is nothing good about it, just as there is nothing good in paedophilia.

well if a man chooses to be a pervert do you still believe that he has not chosen to be a pervert?

moo wrote:

that is because heterosexuals make up 95% of the population, yet homosexuals who only make up 5% of the population account for 50% of hiv cases. Shocking!



moo wrote:

well, recent studies show homosexuals have a substantially greater risk of suffering from a psychiatric problems than do heterosexuals. We see higher rates of suicide, depression, bulimia, antisocial personality disorder, and substance abuse.

funny that you claim that they should be allowed to live their lives the way they want to, when I have never said they should not? I simply give the opinion that it is wrong. However, you don’t allow foetuses to live the way they want, do you? If I was to consider homosexuals as subhuman in the same way you see foetuses as subhuman, you would really disapprove, yet the situation is the same. Except I don’t kill homosexuals for what they are, unlike your attitude towards foetuses because of what they are.

really, has it taught you more then I will ever learn? How can you know or even prove this? Well let me tell you, this cannot be proven, so it seems you are the one with lots to learn, fool!

no; his family and friends shunning him for simply loving is what killed him. You are all the murderers, for not caring about him. Love knows no gender, age, or race. Being gay did not lead him to substance abuse; being hated and having to leave his loved ones and turn to anything he could in order to feel happy led him to drugs and pyschiatric problems, which lead to his death.

Some of the nicest, happeist, and well-adjusted people I know are gay. My mother on the other hand has depression problems, yet she's a good olde christian. I know a lot more straight people with mental problems than gay people. And I know a lot of gay people.

Also, I don't know of that many gay people who are drug abusers because they are gay. In fact, I don't know any. No one becomes a drug abuser because they are any specific thing. That's as bad as saying black people are led to drug use just because they're black. It's false and sickening. They are led to drug abuse because of those eblack born into poverty (and whites, and mexicans, etc), they have more acess to illegal drugs.

I bet your brother ran away, because your family was close minded and hated him. He may have been an adult, but if he moved as far away from you all as he could, he was still running from you.

Mental and drug abuse problems happen to everyone, and sexual orientation is not a factor. If it is, then it's only for the same reason that black people have more mental disroders: discrimination.

You do not have to be gay to have hiv, it can be rec'd by bad blood, a dirty needle, you should learn to not label(sp) people like you do that shows what kind of person you truly are and I am not naming names as you know who I am talking about, you will learn what payback is!!! For such religious people you seem very hypocritical, I help, not judgeand I know when I cannot help andwhen it takes more of a professional!
Good night!

wrong, they're not people and will not be until the law recognises them as such.

I do not discriminate against fetus es (explained above)
i do not want to eradicate all fetuses, there is no genocide

show me the studies that say this, links or i'm assuming you're making it up. I've already addressed the depression factor you're suggesting

if you could state it's an opinion, and just that (i.E stop making ludicrous claims and admit that it's your narrow minded view) then i'd leave it at that
Quote:

they are not capable of "want", I have nothing against fetuses, I simply believe a woman should be allowed to abort if she wishes - it's not all about the fetus, remember the woman for once could you??

were slaves people before the american law said they were, if not what were they.The law once said that black africans were not people but chattels to be bought and sold, your arguments have been used before by slavers to legitimize what they did to the slaves.
