Good lord, do you take everything seriously in the Old Testament, or just what suits you, such as the verses against homosexuality?

When people live a immoral lifestyle for extended periords of time then society begans to embrace it as the norm.
Then would you tell your child to get the hell out of your home, if he or she admitted being homosexual? You're probably yet another person who needs to watch the movie called Praying For Bobby.

So a number of things heterosexuals do is evil, too, such as cheating on spouces, but we would never think of outlawing heterosexuality.

YOu are trying to gain ground with the hate word same as others use the race card with no racism involved. I never hated any gays.. I know quite a few gay people who have come and gone in my life as I have lived my life. They are God's creation.

You look for sympathy with saying you are hated when you know it isn't even the truth. Gays are loved everywhere. But their sin is not.

Fact is you love your sin more than God and refuse to repent .

Jesus was a very plain speaker on sin.

I am on this thread for the children. I want to see how many of us really care about the next generation.. some just don't understand the spirit of homosexuality is a spirit that ensnares people of all age groups.
Have you seen the movie called Praying For Billy? I bet you most certainly have not.

So preachers who preach against homosexuality and then later sneak away to indulge in homosexual acts have simply failed to repent of their sins?

As we're both fixed, and always use condoms, such an outcome is unlikely.

Only 2 cases of AIDS transmission have EVER been attributed to swinging, according to the CDC. They were 2 women who had unprotected anal sex (which is a really bad idea) with an infected bisexual male. Sorry your doomsday prediction simply hasn't proven true in the real world.

Yes. It has to do with teaching young people respect and toleration. All communities in the United States, including minorities, deserve to be treated with respect and tolerance.

I've said it before, but some conservatives seem awfully obsessed with the idea of shoving things down children's throats... an expression I find both weird and creepy.

That aside, how is teaching that homosexuality exists "shoving it down their throats?" I was taught comparative religions in school, so were they shoving Christianity, Buddhism & Islam down my throat? I certainly didn't feel like I was being indoctrinated, since they approached the subject in an academic/informative manner... just as they do with sex education, and including the very natural topic of homosexuality wouldn't be any more "indoctrinating" than telling us how babies are made. They taught us that last part in 5th grade, and nobody ran out and got pregnant that year. I was also taught that people went to the moon, and it didn't make me want to become an astronaut.

Are your beliefs and knowledge of the world so weak, that you can't even HEAR about anything different from your own life? If so, that's pretty sad IMO. Most people, however, do have a strong enough sense of self-awareness to listen to opposing viewpoints without converting... otherwise everyone on this forum would be switching political persuasion whenever they read an opposing thread. And you KNOW that isn't happening, LOL!
