So is it your opinion that your words and the words of millions of like minded Christians and Muslims do not have any effect on the mindset of people, especially fellow believers , towards gays ? You can try to rationalize this all you wish , but just have the decency to answer this question .
Do you think that all the attacks you and others make on gays 24/7/365 have no effect on how people view them ?
I seriously doubt a belief that homosexuality is sin ALONE was the driving force to cause someone to commit an extreme act of violence. Insensitivity to gore and violence as well as complete devaluing of human life had to play a role in this shooter's mind. Who knows, he could have got those factors from violent video games and movies. Should we bann all those? People like you always want to blame someone else and act like your side can NEVER do anything wrong.
What is the opposite of free thinking, or open-minded, people?
Hate is hate regardless of whether one fancies themselves as "open minded". Something I see on this and other boards. Gotta love the broad brush wielded by the "open minded".

Your daughter deserves protection from Bible toting hatemongers. Acceptance is just the start.
I can only imagine her fear when she uses a public bathroom.
Thanks for the list. I fail to see Southern Baptists or other mainstream Evangelical denominations on that list.
My daughter does not fear using the woman's room. She has breasts and dresses in woman's clothes. Can you imagine her walking into a men's room? And by the way, I tote a Bible. Have three versions on my iPhone and three book versions at home.
And God would be displeased if I caved into societal pressure from the left and start celebrating sin. That's what your side does.
Think about that next time you eat shelled fish or shave the hair on your face, all of which are listed as " abominations" " God's word" in the book of Leviticus also condones slavery, which is what slave masters in America used to justify what they did to black people. The reality is the laws in the book of Leviticus were created by man not God. And any laws directed by God if that is your belief, are the Ten Commandments. Curiously none of the Ten Commandments address homosexuality. Apparently its more of a sin to lie, steal, kill and commit adultery. Jesus didn't even talk about homosexuality in the scriptures.
Does it hunt not to be able to say that "Christians are the most persecuted group in America?" I know how much you loved holding that title, as it was a badge of honor for you. Much to your dismay, this catastrophic event will strengthen and unite the LGBT community.
I hope President Obama lights the White House tonight in the colors of the rainbow flag to honor the innocent victims who lost their lives due to nonsensical, antigay, religious beliefs.
And yet you and your ilk continue to spew venom against God's people daily on here. That's where the true hatred is. That same president called on the nation to pray for the victims. Isn't that a violation of separation of church and state?

Evangelicals only count when they are main stream?
Mainstream. You mean Pat Robertson? Is that main stream enough? How about that good Christian bible toting Lt. Gov of Texas. How about Kevin Swanson who calls for the murder of LGBTQ? Do they count?
I have several Bibles on my phone too. Your point is moot.

Nothing here I haven't heard countless times. This has been debated to death and you are flat out wrong on every point. I don't need the OT to know that it is a sin.
"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. " Romans 1:26-27

where in the bible does God directly tells man homosexuality is sinful? From what is listed In the scripture is either man made laws written in the bible or someone's bias interpretation of what he thinks God said. Again Jesus, never mentioned it in the scriptures. You would think that would be a topic he would have preached about since its this so called great sin.

There it is! Fifty people are dead because they wanted to dance and enjoy themselves.....and Jeff wants to proclaim, "They're sinners!!"
Are you disappointed that you can't be at their funerals holding up a sign that says "Gays Are Sinners!!"?

Jesus never mentioned bestiality either. Must be completely ok then, right?
