Ah but that's OT urban. Can't count that any more.
Where does the NT condemn homosexuality?
Answer: It doesn't.
Rafius tells us that the NT does not condem homosexuality. REALLY!
Well Rafius, can you explain Romans 1:27 to us?
And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
And Rafius, Romans 1:27 is found in the New Testament.
I'm not saying that all religious people do not like homosexuals but some people say that it says it in the bible or something so can someone tell me where it says this please.
Note: I am not gay, this is more out of curiosity
The strength of religion comes from its creation of community...not just community but that community built on a common identity and the exclusion of others. No better way to create cohesiveness than to group together against a common enemy. The way you get people to go along with this obvious tactic is to butter them up and make them feel superior about themselves.
It's purely psychological drivel...and that's why only the weak-minded fall for it.
It's good that you are apologizing - but what concerns me is that you have these hateful thoughts in the first place. I think you need to look inside yourself and figure out where this hatred is coming from. Most people that I know do not hate homosexuals or find them disgusting. People that are genuinely comfortable in their own sexuality and with their own lives are usually not so hateful towards others. If you find inner peace - then you are able to be more loving and understanding to others. You don't have to approve of other people's choices or even understand them - but hate is never a good thing.
Wait what?! Where in my previous post did I EVER say I hated gay people?!! I have gay friends!! I don't hate them!! What I said before about homosexuality I thought was too much hatefulness because it came off or appeared that way to other people! But I don't hate them!! OMG I don't hate anyone dude.

Okay - that makes me feel better. But when you say things like -
"Straight heterosexual men never have and never will tolerate another man that parades around wearing women's clothes and walking around like a woman or acting extremely feminine. It is an abomination to straight men this type of behavior. And you will find that in straight men from all walks of life in every culture and nation on Earth. It isn't tolerated or encouraged. You will find that they never befriend these type of men."
-it sounds very hate filled. I'm glad you have gay friends. I hope you are kind and loving towards all human beings.
I'm straight, but I have gay friends, gay neighbors, have worked with gays, have volunteered with gays. They are just like everyone else, people making their way through life.
The fact that arrogant ignorant stupid people want to pass laws to discriminate against these people is beyond my comprehension. How does one develop such an irrational hatred. Oh yea..... religion
I agree, except in one area. Not all religions teach hate. Most teach love and care less what social title or class you belong to. The one that care are sadly the ones getting all the attention. Even they are starting to crumble in their hatred for homosexuals.
Even when I was a student at a private Christian high school I once gave a persuasive speech in favor of homosexual rights in speech class. You can imagine how well that went over!

Well if the new testament condemns homosexuality, that just tells me that it is another BAD bigoted book.
It might be difficult for him to read it with his eyes tightly shut.
