Wouldn't you if you had entirely unfounded prejudices as they do?

Judging from post #153, you're obviously a "fire and brimstone" religious fanatic, so I don't know why anybody bothers to respond. Quoting all those passages won't get you first place in line at the "pearly gates." This is more about something else for you.

I have no Idea where you are going with that last sentence....But, the Scriptures speak for themselves...

Ok, then, invest your time in coming up with lengthy posts citing Scriptural examples against employers mistreating/taking advantage of their employees for a higher than normal "rate of return," a more prevalent and significant sin in today's world than this topic. You sound more like a fundamentalist than what your profile indicates. All the Jewish people I knew in LA were REALLY liberal.

Ok, so how about some posts on the other topic I asked you to address? I think that has been the biggest SIN in the modern world in at least the last 5 or 10 decades, and in the history of mankind...exploiting others for (above normal) personal financial gain.

Show me in the Scriptures one example of two males having a loving relationship and Yehovaw being 'ok' with it?...
What part don't you understand? You aren't going to find a loving, homosexual relationship in the Bible. All you are going to find are heterosexual men, many of whom had a wife/wives and families, engaging in perverted behaviors, many of which were nothing more than rape. Let's not forget the men in their 40s and 50s having sex with 13 year old girls. Good times!

However, if one socializes with those that regularly sin, then it will be viewed as condoning that sin (this is covering ALL the sins listed in the Scriptures, not just homosexuality).
So I take it you don't associate with anyone, including yourself, since we are all sinners, correct?

The righteousness is killing me.

That's a helluva theory.

We are born with our sexual orientation. It's the reason you'll see children as young as 5 having crushes on each other. Gay people don't choose to be gay any more than straight people choose to be straight. We aren't talking about behaviors. We are talking about something as simple as who you are attracted to.
Tell me Richard, would you want to be married to a woman who was attracted to other women her whole life but has been bashed and shamed so much by the church that she's now going to try to live a heterosexual lifestyle?

I swear over the years, I've met many guys within my church group whom I'm convinced were gay. I don't know if they were just in denial, or they were in a singles church group trying to change who they were because they were ashamed. But I wanted to say so bad, just come out of the closet already and the heck with these people! Be gay and be happy. 50 years ago, the word gay meant happy anyway.

If you are truly trying to understand it, why not do some legitimate research from reputable evidence-based health and science sources?

Why just make up unsubstantiated 'theories' as you go along?

There is a wealth of information available from reputable sources.

(There is also a wealth of MISinformation available from religious based anti-gay sources.)
