Yes or no?

What do you use SSM to mean? Is it like oop?

Get out much?
Patiently( or maybe not so patiently) she explains the acronym...same sex marriage.
You have any objections to that?

Are you a male asking me to marry you? No thank you...I like women. Are you asking if I have any objections with others who do your SSM. People do not belong to me, they belong to God. He has stated his objections to sins...he list all of them in the Bible. Do you have objection to NS...Not Sinning?

I asked you whether or not you personally object due to a couple of statement you have made.

One....
"It is the leaders of religions you speak who are fighting. As I have posted..."I follow no religion."
I also judge no one for sins against Gods laws...all humans are sinners. I am also human.


Edited to add....notice that believers tend to assign god with a male personage?

I have never discriminated against gays, nor those who do other types of sins...I'm Christian. Where did you get the idea all Christians discriminate against gays...from the few who do?"

In another post you say the sins are written down(Isn't that based on a religion?)

You imply you do not discriminate.
Even though there's a bit of contradiction about not following any religion and then stating you are Christian, you also imply gays are committing a sin.
If you do indeed think it's a sin, if you follow no religion, what is it based on?
Do you know what you believe??

BTW...I'm female and oh so thrilled that you like us.
Why did you suppose I was male?

LOL! You're the reason why I often don't trust people who "claim" they belong to no religion and pass themselves off as deists. Push them just a little and their Christian bias comes pouring out like water from a broken dam.

They (you) just claim not to be a Christian so their opponents cannot immediately latch on to all that is wrong with religion and through that, defeat your arguments.

But of course, if you belong to no religion as you said, why should you or I care one iota what the Bible says? Why is sinning such a big deal? Why is it even called "sin," for that matter? Does your God judge you? Does he send people to heaven and hell? I'm just not seeing much difference between "no religion" and "Christianity" here.

I follow no religion because they can be proven false, and not from God. As to some Christians who discriminate against any who sin, these are not Christians...it they were they would not throw the first stone...as Jesus said, "He who is without sin, cast the first stone."
My belief in God is based on the Bible, and what can be prove, it would be a contradiction if I followed any one of mans religions. God is a male personage. Jesus, and all the writer of the Scrolls call him FATHER. Why do many non-believers say God is as a her...Is it to insult him?

^But you follow the traditional teachings of mainstream Christian religion without giving it a great deal of thought, don't you?

Oh, he has recognized that the forms of mainstream Christianity are not biblical, but he really hasn't examined the doctrines he grew up with beyond that.

I have made no such claim of not being a Christian. I claim I am part of no religion. Is English your second language?

You are in error...I have examined the doctrines of all religions...it is a very simple thing to do. One has but to make a list of false doctrines, and eliminate those who teach such.
