Saying, “It’s ok to be gay,” is not the same as the media saying, “It will make you friends if you smoke.” Just because something is ok doesn’t make it popular, as I’m sure you’re well aware. The truth is, yes, it’s perfectly fine to be gay. And it’s perfectly fine to be gay and be Christian, or Jewish, or Muslim, or anything you want! Everything is ok as long as you stay within the bounds of law. Hence, we live in a FREE society. And if I’m not mistaken, that means you’re free to sleep with whomever you want in the privacy of your own home as long as both parties consent to it.
OK, that’s some backwards psychology right there. Let’s make the world accept gay people by showing that they’re retards without a lick of common sense. Hmmm yeah that sounds really pro-gay-acceptance to me. Or maybe… considering who owns 60% of the media… it’s more along the lines of, “Let’s show that gay people are a bunch of morons so no one will take them seriously.” You’re right, this is a form of brainwashing. However, it’s meant to get people to disregard what gay people say, not let them live peacefully.
The world would be a whole lot better if people would lighten up. Then we wouldn’t have people trying to tell other people how to live, there wouldn’t be any violence, no wars, and there certainly wouldn’t be any discrimination. People can be happy and accepting till the cows come home, but if you continually throw around insulting and offensive language at them, they’ll just ignore you along with everyone else.
Yeah, ok. You can think of the situation and not feel even the slightest bit of anything while you do that. The only things I know of that can do that are machines, but whatever. If you want to keep thinking you can omnisciently predict events, go right ahead. As for the second part of what you said here. “I wouldn’t bother going to church at all because I would know I was wasting my time.” Yeah, so then hey, all you Muslims in Al-Qaeda, stop going to your Mosque because you really aren’t following Mohammad’s teachings to the letter so you aren’t Muslim. Oh, and hey you Christian and Jewish soldier’s in Iraq. You don’t have to worry about praying any more and you certainly won’t be saved because, look at that, you’ve killed people and that breaks one of the Ten Commandments. Believing that participating in a religion is just a waste of time because you break a single tenant of that religion is just stupid. If that were the case, then religion wouldn’t exist because no one is perfect like that. The rules laid down in the Bible are guidelines. GUIDELINES. They are meant to help people live their lives in the best way possible. That doesn’t mean you have to obey every single letter, you can still be a good person and be slothful for example. You might not be the best person in the world, but hey, at least you aren’t going around and eating live children right?
Let’s see, if you listen to Jesus’ words than you also have to listen to his cardinal rule. The one that takes precedence over everything else. You know, “Love thy neighbor, like thy brother.” Yeah so that’s what I’m missing here. I missed the part when we amended that little saying to, “Love thy neighbor, like thy brother. Oh and don’t forget to hate these guys while your at it.” This makes absolutely no sense. The definition of the word Catholic in the first place is “Open, accepting, and universal.” This used to be the basis of Christianity. Everyone come in, it doesn’t matter what you do, if you put your faith in Jesus you’ll be saved. So they don’t follow every word he ever said. Neither did the two men who died on the cross when Jesus was crucified, and guess who the first people to be admitted to heaven through Jesus’ sacrifice were… Those two murderers. You want to talk about the opposite direction from Jesus’ teachings, look at yourself first. Demeaning and universally telling people what they should believe based on how they feel about other people is one of the least acceptable stances I’ve ever heard of. You wanna know where gay activists get the comparison to racism from? I’ll tell you. It’s because the only thing less accepting than this stance is racism.
Generally this is referred to as a mid-life crises. And yes it happens all the time, though usually it isn’t with homosexuality. It can be with a new car or wanting to run off into the woods and commune with nature. And the point is, since no one can fully understand themselves, then there is always something else to learn. That something could very well be that you feel attracted to the same sex. Splitting up a family because one of the partners discovers they no longer love their spouse is not evil. In fact, I would say it would be more detrimental to the children if the parents stayed together but didn’t love each other. The only thing that could make this situation a bad thing, would be how either parent acted after the divorce, and that has nothing to do with their sexual orientation.
I think you managed to prove my point for me with this part, but just in case people missed it… So if people don’t notice this question that’s being put to them, then they just go along with nature’s plan right? Wouldn’t that make consciously choosing one or the other a violation of nature, and by extent, a violation of God’s creation? According to Christianity we obtained the sin of knowledge when Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So if you notice that you’re being asked to choose based on knowledge rather than instinct, your choosing based on original sin. The natural order of things is what God created when he brought the world into existence. Does anyone have the right then to violate the natural order? Even if it’s directing them towards a so-called sin?
I just have to ask this because all the times genetics has been thrown around on this thread. Is it really so hard to believe that people have a predisposition to a certain manner of thought based on the chemicals that make up the body? Isn’t that the whole basis behind psychological pharmaceuticals? I bet it would make you happy to have a drug that would turn everyone into faithful, mindless, Christians but it’s not going to happen. Different schools of thought are the hallmark of progress and trying to demean another’s chemical thought process is demeaning their humanity. I don’t really care one way or the other how people become gay, but I do know that it isn’t a choice.
