Using their flawed "logic". If I disagree with the behavior and lifestyle of a pedophile, then am I a bigot?

Of course not. To find a behavior wrong does NOT make one bigot.
Well, I decided that I'm opposed to heterosexuality. I dislike what it does to our society--teen pregnancies, and often compelling people to have abortions. I have zero respect for the "girls gone wild" nonsense, also. I think it's all quite immoral. So, if I disapprove of the heterosexual lifestyle, am I not a bigot?

On what basis is homosexuality "destructive"?

Quote:
That is your "opinion" and nothing more. God has stated that homosexuality, adultery, etc, are evil and destroy the person both spiritually and physically.
Do you have a line of reasoning that is not particular to a religion?

Quote:
Once again, God says it is wrong, not me. People DO GET HURT, both physically and psychologically with sexual promiscuity.
Right--promiscuous behavior whether you're heterosexual or homosexual can be harmful to you and others.

Merely "being gay" is wrong? Even if one is celibate? First I've heard of that.

I pray that you will trust in Christ's death for your sins. God can forgive you.
Sorry, I should have said that your god was the one who taught you to be a bigot...What other valid reason do you have that gays shouldn't marry?

Don't bother to pray for me as I have done nothing to be forgiven for...Your time would be better spent praying for yourself, to release yourself from your judgmental, foolish and destructive ideas.

Can you think for yourself and give me your personal opinion ( not gods ) about gays and how they have impacted your life and why YOU think it's wrong?....

My God says no such thing.

Don't make empty promises: get some proof first.

Quote:
God HATES sinful destructive behavior. That includes homosexuality, adultery, pre-marital sex, lying, stealing, etc.
Then he shouldn't have created such behaviors.

Not according to the Church.

Every one of your posts is threatening. Do you believe your God likes it when you threaten others? According to your descriptions, your God seems like some maniac spewing expletives and throwing lightning bolts at people. I hardly think the stars in the sky, the fish in the sea, and the leaves on the trees were manufactured by such an utterly imbalanced individual.

If your god hates gays so much, let him do his bidding on them and shut up about it. Your worried nature suggests a lack of faith.

as soon as baby boomers start kicking the bucket.. then we can allow all this mess to be addressed.. fact is.. fewer and fewer people of younger generations are religious or subscribe to these hail jesus arguments.. and many younger generations are very disenfranchised by everything... things will change.. once this "me" generation is gone and no longer has its greedy self serving my way or the highway hands on everything...
starting with generation x on up will be the first american generation in 100 years that will be worse off than their parents... so to all of you who spit hate and putrid arguments with no logical basis... thankyou.... you make america great! *fart*

Why would you disapprove of something normal?

I would hope that if I lived in the antebellum South I would disapprove of a lot of things thought to be normal at the time.

Besides, I just explained in my poorly-composed satire why I decided I disapproved of heterosexuality--obviously it spreads diseases, causes unwanted pregnancies, abortions, etc. Really a detriment to society.
