I'm not here to fight, I told somebody to just be a little more empathetic and this insanity broke out. Please understand I don't care. I don't need to prove myself to you. You want to clump me together with all other nonbelievers, say I use the same dumb arguments but honestly your arguments are the common ones! So let me be.
God created Adam and Eve. When people started sleeping with people of their own sex it was seen as rebellious because it went against God's creation. The bible states it's wrong therefore let's live by the bible. God don't want us to be homophobics. We're taught to live our brothers and sisters. Be friends with a hat person is not wrong but accepting the lifestyle is wrong.
Yeah, I argued you because by claiming "we need to be more sympathetic" you accuse us of lacking any empathy for those who deal with the issue, so I point out to you that its not those who engage in the act that Christians are against, its the act itself, along with the push to make it acceptable in society (3rd time Ive pointed this out to you now).
And yeah, you use an old tired argument, "it doesnt hurt anybody", and that doesnt prove that its right. So its not an argument anyone here should take seriously.
And let you be? You came here and caused a fight, not me. You have this whole thing reversed here.

Actually if you go back you'll see I told someone to have more empathy abd this spiralled out of control. I don't like fighting with Christians because most get too emotional. I seriously don't want to fuss. Homosexuality is wrong according to the bible only, you can believe its also wrong in every other waybut I don't care to debate that deeply

To me, what makes it wrong is the defiance towards God. People have pride, and often (without even realizing that's what we're doing) we act rebellious of God's will for our lives. Regardless of why God says it's wrong, He does, just like regardless why overeating is wrong, it is, or why smoking or abusing drugs is wrong, it is.
Now the good news. Homosexuality is no worse than any other sin. The Bible says that no sin is worse than another so it won't keep one from heaven any more than smoking and overeating (not caring for God's temple) will. A lot of the consequences for many sins are met here on Earth through pain, disease, heartache and so on. (example: in many cases Divorce is a sin, but the punishment for this sin is earthly through emotional pain and scars, financial losses, credit score losses, children's pain and so on.) God judges our hearts, and if one's heart is God's then that is just how it is, and nothing we say to judge them will change that.
And yes, I know I will be crucified in here for my opinion, but eh, that's their right, just as my opinion is my right.
Peace!!

The Lord, with our help, is creating a beautiful life for each of us. Sexual immorality destroys that life. If you have ever ventured down the road of sexual immorality, you know how extremely addictive sexual immorality is. Don’t walk down that road. The pain that sexual immorality brings into our lives is enormous.
i would like to say simply Lord Jesus thank you for not calling me an abomination, as it has been said and written, and thank you for not calling me of a perverse, depraved, and reprobate mind as it has been said and written..... I Am Forever Grateful to you Lord Jesus for this and quite frankly everything!
this thread reminded me of something we did in one of my college classes.
the professor told us, "everybody close your eyes. now.. point to wherever north is. open your eyes."
everybody was pointing to different directions. opposite directions. some towards the same direction. but the question was... who was right?
then, she pulled out a compass. she then pointed north because the compass pointed north.
she said, "you can believe all day long north is that way, but the truth is.. it is this way."

This all reminds me of the unfortunate story of the British entrepreneur John Tate and his compasses. Sometime back in the mid-1800s a small-time British manufacturer named John Tate decided to go into the business of making compasses. He set up a factory, installed the machinery, hired some workers, and began turning out his first compasses. He had just completed his first batch of 500 compasses when someone finally pointed out that he had forgotten to mark which end of the compass was north. The compasses worked fine; you just didn't know which way was north and which was south. Needless to say poor Mr. Tate's compasses didn't sell; Tate went bankrupt, the factory closed, and the workers were laid off. But his memory lives on, since that time any compass where you're not sure which end is north and which is south has been known as a 'Tate's compass'.
The moral of the story, of course, is that he who has a Tate's is lost. And, a misinterpreted Bible can be a Tate's Compass.
