You do not know me. I am loving to gays. I have been on this earth enough and have seen gays die of aids , have seen the hiv drugs come to be. I have always tolerated all people.

This thread is about acceptance of homosexuality as being normal. I have never accepted homosexuality as being normal. I have accepted gays as they are and loved them regardless. They are God's creation . But as I said I do not approve of homosexuality as being taught to children as being normal. That is unacceptable to me as a Christian.

God gave us a free will and satan will devour those who follow him. We have a choice every day of what to believe and what we chose not to believe. We have a choice to accept or reject in all areas of our lives.. we are what we believe.

Your understanding of the bible is off.
If that is the case, why do people quote Leviticus at all when saying that homosexuality is an abomination?

And why do they excuse themselves from the sins outlined in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10? Do you really believe that self-righteous Christians never lie, cheat, steal, drink, or idolize people and concepts other than God? What makes you think you are any better than the gay people you so love to condemn? If you tell me that you have never lied in your life, or that you have never met a Christian person who has gotten drunk before, then you are holding yourself and your fellow "Christians" to a different standard than the gay people you so love to hold in disdain.

Even if, for whatever reason, you do claim that none of the CHristians you know have ever engaged in the sins outlined in that one verse, I can tell you personally that I have. I have met self-identified "Christians" who have cheated on their spouses and then been accepted into a church later on because God has forgiven their sins. I'm all for forgiveness and have no problem with forgiving someone who may have a less-than-stellar past. But that's not the issue with so many self-righteous "Christians".

The issue is sheer hypocrisy. So many "Christians" are so quick to pinpoint non-believers' sins without admitting to their own. You're no better than the men and women who enjoy sex with people of the same sex, because chances are, you've lied, even if it was to tell your mother that she looks great in that dress. Chances are that at some point in your life, you or someone in your church congregation was drinking and had a little too much and got drunk.

If God is willing to forgive you for lying and drinking and so on, why would He not be willing to forgive gay people for engaging in same-sex relations? Why do you feel so comfortable condemning others when you have just as many weaknesses, are just as prone to sin, and just as imperfect in God's eyes as gay people?

But you just got done telling us god was more powerful. Why doesn't he just put a beatdown on mean old satan so he doesn't have to worry about us being devoured?

Did the Prophet Mohammed ever experience anal pleasures as a youth? This is for all the religious experts that seem to be here.

Seeing gay people die of AIDS is being tolerance and loving? Especially while the whole time you are disapproving of who they are?

Luckily in my community, I'm pretty sure I wont have that issue. My community still has decent values.
How about left-handedness? Is that normal and natural? Roughly as many people are left-handed as are gay.

And do you know what these unnatural perverts do?
They masturbate, left-handed.
The left-handed straight men stimulate their wives'/girlfriends'/one-night-stands'/**** buddies' clitorises with their...left-hand.
The left-handed straight women give their husbands/boyfriends/one-night-stands/**** buddies hand jobs with their...left-hand.

As a right-handed straight male I find this behavior disgusting.

Luckily, my views are backed up by non other than the Catholic Church.

That left-handers are allowed to mix freely with right-handers, marry freely, engage in their perverted sex acts, and raise children is a sign of our declining morality.
