I suppose that only when christians get over the god myth will they be accepting to gays?

I suppose when you take a comparative religious history class you'll get over your backwards, inaccurate and horribly stereotypical idea?

I am not sure...\n\nChristianity that allows for support of the gay lifestyle will also be a Christianity that will allow for unbelief.\n\nIf a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination . . . (Leviticus 20:13) \n\nFor this reason (i.e. their refusal to acknowledge, thank and glorify God) God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error. (Romans 1:26-27) \n\nDo not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral (or fornicators), nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals (or sodomites; literally those who have coitus, or who sleep, with men), nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

Many just can't get past the gay thing.They are more concerned with what two guys do in the privacy of their own homes then with what they themselves do.Jesus would not approve and would again say to modern followers, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

It's just like sticking a pin into jesus..that's my catchphrase from now on...I'm fighting religious unreason & superstition with more of the same...\n\nI have a vodoo doll of Joseph's son and every time anyone on YA gratuitously says Gays are sinful or should repent,then in goes another pin. Suggest any other victims of gratuitous Christian cruelty do the same.\n\nIt's easy to stop..just don't use your religion to be cruel.

Being homosexual is like any other sin, it is what it is sin. I am not sure what you mean by tolerant. I would be very nice  and help anyone in need , homosexual or not. However, if they want me to agree with they're lifestyle, I can't. I cannot pretend it is ok or accept it but, I can accept them as a person and one of God's children.

I think there are a lot of Christians who have been taught to hate themselves and their God given sexual orientation, and it hurts not only them, but their families.  I pray constantly that God will free people from the bondage of lies that keep them closeted.  Someday, homphobia will seem as outdated as racism, and probably take twice as long to shake off.

Don't listen to those dumb bigots.  Not all religions or even all Christian denominations believe being gay is a sin.  After all, as long as you are following your true nature it shouldn't matter since God made you that way.\nThe whole "being gay is evil" thing is, as far as I can tell, based solely on ONE passage from a part of the Bible that is full of rules we don't follow anymore.  The truth is that the religion is just an excuse to be intolerant; the real reason is that people are afraid of those who are different from them.\n\nOh, and another note: can you believe these people??  Some of them I have to shake my head and go, Are they for real? because they're so ridiculous.  As someone else noted, we're all sinners, and as most religions agree all sins are equal so it shouldn't matter, they're just as much a sinner as you.  Besides, it's no one's place to judge except for God.

Not for me.\n\nCan't people stop questioning why people are gay and just accept that people are gay?

I am.... and I would tell them that their over-zealous all comsuming belief in something that is improbable is assinine, and that if they do not believe that it is natural, then they should look in nature. there are many other creatures that are not heterosexual. dolphines for instance, the second most intelligent species on earth, are bisexual, and will pretty much screw anything that swims by, whether or not they are in the same species or not.  if "god" didnt condone GLBT, then why are so many in the wild that way? he supposedly "made" them too.

Not if they ask God to forgive them. In the Bible, it says being gay is a sin. Many people sin, and God forgives them. If Bin Laden asks God for His forgiveness, He will forgive them, so I guess He will forgive gays

That is supposing that there is such a thing as God.\n\nConsider - the world is over populating.  Homosexuals do not breed.  Is it God or mother nature adjusting the population balance? \n\nAnd just where do you get God hating from?  Christians hate lots of things for sure but that is their sin not their Gods!!!!!!

why would a homosexual want to be a christian anyway. why would anybody try to fit into a place that doesn't want to accept them.

A very good question and I totally agree with your comments. I was raised as a christian and I have always tried to live a life that helps others when required but my experience over the years (I am in my early 60s) is that those who push their 'gods' are generally those who don't want to help when help is needed and are quick to criticise you when you think or do things they do not agree with. I believe in taking people as they are and do not judge them by their race, religion, or sexuality.\n\nDue to my bad experiences with those who consider themselves religious I no longer believe in it and don't follow any faith other than my own belief in treating others as I would like them to treat me. I particularly found the religious types negative towards me when I came out as being gay some years ago - many of whom had been friends for many years when they didn't know my sexuality. I found it quite amazing. However, I soon found out who were my true friends and those I thought were friends.

No he doesn't accept gay people or sinners. He wants us to live like we are in his image. Although we know we are human and will make mistakes he does want us to repent..............

Only if they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
