racism is itself based on religion
That's a wild assertion... I've never even heard that one before, even from crazies. There are racist "religious" people, and yes, there are religions that are really a veil for ethnosupremacy- but they stick out like a sore thumb, because they can't contain themselves for very long. Regardless, Christianity has nothing to do with racism. Our God is the God of everyone.

You can't compare race to sexual orientation. First of all, race with respect to skin color is inherent, but who people are attracted to is not fixed, not inherent, and it can be changed over time and experiences. You can choose not to believe that, and stay stuck; or take the truth and run with it. If you, or someone you care about values a gay lifestyle or relationship more than God, then that's your choice, but even if you get full control of the government, Christians will always choose the word of God, and never approve of that.

homosexuals don't have or want sex change operations
It's not required by definition, but some of them most certainly do want sex-change operations. Why would you say they don't?

I'm telling you, if you really care about gay people- this narrative about sexual orientation, and gay-marriage is the wrong path; it doesn't serve them in any way.

Orientation isn't the result of abuse and it's a lie to say it does
Homosexuality is not a mental illness and its a lie to say it is
God did not create men to be attracted to men and then call them an Abomination and effeminate.

The only way someone can become something God did not design is by SIN. SIN has led to mental Illness.

Anyone who believes God is a myth is literally insane.

Anyone who claims God made them homosexual is insane because God said in Matthew He made men to be with women.

God designed men to be attracted to women. Therefore, if a man is attracted to a man he is not sane at all. He's an Abomination like God said homosexuals are.

Homosexuality is a sexual perversion plain and simple. Only someone with absolutely no awareness of reality could say otherwise. Just think about what they do. On second thought, maybe don't.

God doesn't mince words.

Some on this thread are attempting to use public attitudes and the laws of the USA as their basis for a 'Moral Compass'. Their logic, if everyone agrees it's rightl then it's right. Same kind of moral compass that Hitler's Nazi Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union, and Mao's Communist China. BTW, both Stalin and Mao made Hitler look like a small fish when it came to murdering 10s of millions.

But the populace's of these countries hung their 'moral compasses' on their governments and popular opinion.

For those who want to hang their moral compass on the government/populace of the USA, don't forget that slavery was constitutionally legal for many years, women couldn't vote, segregation was legal.......etc/etc...........

By siding with the 'flavor of the day' of public/govt opinion verses Jesus and Scripture teachings, people take comfort in numbers. The reasoning is, "If we all oppose God, then we can become our own gods, determining right from wrong. If we all oppose God, then God won't dare to destroy us all.?" But that logic doesn't fit in with Biblical/Scriptural history.

In fact, when Satan mustered all his followers against God, they were tossed out of heaven like a thunderbolt. Safety in numbers????? What about all the depraved souls in Sodom and Gommorah or all the depraved souls at the time of Noah.

Christians need you make their choices with a clear and open mind, the ways of the world or God's ways. And, when we do choose, confidently reach out for what we choose. For what we choose is what we'll receive.

Sometimes they troll on Christian forums.
They do that on Republican, political conservative, sportsman forums and invite their friends. The owners like the extra revenue so they become the protected minority. Eventually the queers take over because normal people don't want to associate with them.

A marriage is a legal contract under the law. The issue concerning marriage is whether people can be denied marriage to someone of their own gender. The government doesn't decide about moral issues.
Is murder a moral issue. Is a car jacker moral, How about the guy who cheats his taxes . Is it moral to lie to congress? Is it moral to lie in court? Is abuse moral? Sexual abuse of kids or anyone is that moral? The list can go on for a good while...

Believe as you will, children are in the mix and time will tell, history has shown repeatedly people are agents of their own destruction but since it not evidenced in the short term they think it is all fine.

John Adams stated: “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
If you want to legislate according to religious text where do you draw the line? You have better not be wearing mixed fabrics or I'm calling the police

Not sure how that could be considered a religious exemption. Homosexuality and gay marriage, on the other hand, go against the religion of most Christians. Surely you can see how that falls under a religious exemption?????
It's a firmly held belief that interracial relationships are against the will of God, Just like the religious belief against same gendered relationships. It doesn't matter if you agree with that belief or dislike it. If you are saying that religious belief makes discrimination against one group of people OK then it must also be OK when that reason is used to justify discrimination against anyone

"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix." presented as an argument to the Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia




You can't compare race to sexual orientation. First of all, race with respect to skin color is inherent, but who people are attracted to is not fixed, not inherent, and it can be changed over time and experiences.
All of the evidence says it is inborn and unchangeable.

Orientation is not the result of any life experience much less abuse. That remains the truth no matter how much you deny it.

If you steal my car then I'm the victim. If you lie and defraud me then I am the victim.
If you lie in court, that's called perjury and you go to jail for obvious reasons because telling the truth in court is kind of important
A consensual relationship between two adults has nothing to do with morality because there's no victim
