Homophobic people who want to restict the rights of Gays are just clearly insecure about their own sexuality. They can't decide for themselves if they long for the touch of a man or a woman. It's sad for them.

If they couldn't vote, they'd just earn my pity.

The homophobia mantra again! LOL! Maybe they should have that Alien film music when a sweat-drenched sigourney Weaver is being stalked in the dark corridors of the spaceship and instead of showing the alien's sabered-toothed snout they should show Milton Berle smilingly peaking out from behind the corridor's edge while holding a pink flowered-decorated unbrella.

This is quite false, sorry to say. I am very comfortable with my sexuality.

As Christians, we do not believe that homosexuals are "born" into their sexual life style. As bible believers, we conclude from scripture that sins such as homosexuality, drug addiction, pornography addiction are major bondages caused by a demonic force.

It's no wonder that gays or lesbians would claim that they can't help it, or that they were born this way. It's called a stronghold. To be quite blunt it's a demon that has control over that persons will and life.

I don't expect anyone to understand this as the bible says that people on the world will look at christians like we are crazy, view us as insane. That's ok though.

For Christians, there is no point arguing with the world our beliefs because we will always be criticized and called homophobic... I'm a lot of things, but NOT homophobic.

Speak for yourself. Knowing nothing about homosexuals is not a trait of a Christian. Homosexuality is most certainly an inborn trait. And it is not a sexual lifestyle, it's an attraction. Please educate yourself already.

No, you interpreted the Bible to say that, based on your faulty understanding of scripture. Big difference. Many if not most believers do not follow your interpretation.

Obviously a demon has control of your mind too based on your ramblings. It's amazing that people like you make these outrageous claims, despite the millions of gay Christians who have begged God for decades to change their orientation and he doesn't. It's quite obvious the only people that hate gays are self-righteous know it all fundamentalists.

The world views you as insane because your grasp of reality is sorely lacking, as is your grasp of theology and scripture.

Based on this post you are most certainly homophobic.

So you wouldn't freak out if your child's 4th-grade teacher was gay?

And yes, you are insane.

So, not only are you a bigot, but your sacred book has made you ignorant also. The stories that you read in your sacred book are only someone's personal opinion, doesn't mean that they're true.

Based on this post you are most certainly homophobic.

I have gay friends, they do not view me as homophobic, but instead respect my beliefs and understand my position. They don't bash me for believing in God and believing in the bible.

You are very correct... what I believe is exactly my intepretation of the bible... so who are you to tell me that I am wrong? I think for myself. I am not a shallow person who needs to believe in a god to have something to look forward to after death. I'm not niave, and certaintly not living my life based on what my parents or some preacher told me when I was little.

I've come to know Christ through my VERY OWN circumstances that I've faced during my short 23 years of living. I've come to know God and love Him. I don't base my beliefs off of what some man in a suite says standing behind a pulpit... but on what I feel is right and what I conclude from the BIBLE - so THAT IS, my friend, thinking for myself.

I know all about reality. Again, I am not homophobic (I won't continue to argue that point).

Because of my understanding of this world, I can understand your point of view... I was just simply stating MINE and meant no offense.

God Bless.

ptsum - thanks for your opinion. To me, I believe these stories are inspired from God himself. I believe they ARE Gods words. I don't agree that I am ignorant.

I don't bash anyone, I don't stand on street corners with signs damning all to hell, I'm not stuck up, I'm not arrogant, I'm not a bible thumper. I am simply someone who doesn't agree with homosexuality. Does that mean that I should be called a bigot? Ignorant? Insane? I don't have the right to believe in what I want?

I think it's sickening what so called Christians have done to give people like me a bad name. I hate no one. I simply have an opinion.

You are the ones fighting for gay rights, and equality, yet as soon as someone says they believe homosexuality is a sin you run them out of town with a pitch fork and tell them they are homophobic? Hmmm... that's interesting. But I do appreciate your comment.

No, I wouldn't "freak out" as I said before I know a lot of people who are gay, some are my friends... Gay people are not diseased, why would I freak out?
