And why bother putting murderers in Jail? I mean all those judges and juries, why are they obsessing? Are they just private murders?
Here you go again with the murder =homosexuality crapola. Murder harms someone else. Homosexuality harms no one.
Quote:
Homosexuality is just a sin. So, Christian don't obsess over homosexuality. We obsess over people becoming free from sin!
It is written: "It was for freedom that Christ set us free"!
You do obsess over homosexuality. You and others whom oppose homosexuality spend an inordinate amount of time trying to 'free' homosexuals from their 'sins.' Everyday children are abused/tortured by their parents and kids murdering each other in gang warfare. Yet you're worried about what two consenting adults do in the the privacy of their own homes. Anti gays need to wake up and have a reality check. If people like you would turn your attention away from homosexuality and onto things like gang violence, child abuse etc. then we actually will have a much more peaceful society.
I wonder if this obsession that some believers have with things like sodomy, fornication and homosexuality is that they're insecure about their own sexuality. 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys have been sexually abused and over a million are physically abused every year. America has an annual rate of over 16000 murders, 1000+ of which come from west coast ganglands, more than city police/rehabs can handle. There are nearly 30000 attempted teen suicides and almost 11000 carried out teen suicides. Yet fornication, sodomy and homosexuality are what they focus on 'fixing.'
I dealt with this. Crime is dealt with by the police or law enforcement or rehab programs. Suicide is a mental health issue. Although religious groups should work for helping get kids off drugs or getting depressed people help both of these are issues the general society deals with too.
The state does not, and should not, deal with enforcing or bolstering specific religious taboos. So religious groups themselves deal with this. If the overarching culture was supportive of homosexuals being celibate, and discouraged sex outside of marriage, churches would not need to discuss this much. However there is good reason they don't support that although the often strong opposition to the ideas can be seen by the religious as placing a certain burden.
Besides which it is often non-Christians who are obsessed with our views on sex. The Pope once had like a 100 page document on dealing with poverty or something and there was one page on homosexuality. The media dubbed it "another anti-gay diatribe" and largely ignored that it was mostly unconcerned with sex. The sexual views of Christian denominations is what interests many non-Christians. This is in some ways understandable, sex is a basic desire, but in other ways irritating. Although I've defended paying more attention to it the truth is priests I've known so rarely discuss the Church's teaching on sexual morality that when my current priest did a couple weeks ago I was rather surprised. The loudest Christians on TV, or the Internet, are not necessarily representative.
YOUR TRUTH, not THE TRUTH. I dont get why you dont understand that. YOU choose to follow an unproven reprehensibly archaic book. Do you stone people as well? Do you have slaves or do you just pick and choose what you follow? The more I hear from people like you the more I find that book you follow malicious and evil.
If people had followed the Biblical way, AIDs never would of been the problem it is today. And that is because the AIDs virus never would of been transmitted through the general population. Yet, you appear to support a lifestyle that guarantees that AIDs will continue to kill off millions of people. So where is the greater evil? Following a Book that perserves life? Or supporting a lifestyle that destroys life? It appears to me, you like the lifestyle that kills off life. And now you call the Book that would save life, evil.
The Bible has somthing to say to people who think this way.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
I am SICK and TIRED of this crap.....uneducated posts from Campbell34's type posters....so here is my flippant response. To be taken as seriously as your posts>>>>>

Most homosexuals do live monogamous lives and your link before is worthless since it used statistics from gay bars. You would get the same statistics in heterosexuality if you did the same study on heterosexuals doing the same activity. You would like to think that homosexuals all live promiscuous depraved lives, but this is not so. Homosexuality and homosexual relationships no more destroys lives that heterosexuals and heterosexual relationships do. Homosexuality doesn't gaurantee AIDS or the nonsense that it will cause it to still continue to kill off millions of people. How many homosexuals do you actually know Campbell? I'm guessing it's probably none otherwise you would know that your AIDS theory is not true. Supposed ex gays don't count.

Still using the bible to justify your lies and bigotry I see, Campbell.
I'll say it again...AIDS is NOT a homosexual disease, it is a human disease. Sexual transmission of HIV has been described from men to men, men to women, women to men, and women to women through vaginal, anal, and oral sex.

1. One of Southern California's most influential gay institution has launched a controversial ad campaign that describes HIV as a "gay disease."

Well, maybe you should tell that to one of Californias most influential gay institutions.
GAY INSTITUTION CALLS HIV A 'GAY DIESEASE' It appears they do not agree with you, and you can't blame that on the Bible or Christians sanspeur.
