This is what keeps puzzling me. I was walking along through Halifax indoor market the other day, and I saw this bloke holding hands with another.
Naturally, I, in accordance with Gods law, grabbed a wrecking bar from a road workers hut and chased after them.
Smashing it into the first ones face, i was pleased to see the abomination before Gods head burst open. Turning my attention to the other, I was aware that his vile actions, required more suffering than the first , so breaking his ribs with the first blow, i simply kicked and kicked at his head , explaining how God would judge him.

To my utter astonishment, two interfering policemen arressted me. They diddnt seem to care about Gods law, just some pansy human law.
I tell ya, I got 14 years in jail just for doing some good.
This world is going to the dogs.

Sincerely.
Barney

While I don't accept the homosexual lifestyle as being a good thing, I would never under any circumstances condone the beating or murder of a person due to their sexual orientation. Since I'm not homosexual, I don't frequent gay bars or participate in gay parades...so my interaction with that lifestyle is obviously limited. I don't like fans of Hannah Montana either...which is why I tend not to go to her concerts or watch the Disney channel.

Conscious choice? As is your religion. Although there is no choice regarding sexual orientation, just sexual practice.

Quote:
but if you choose a lifestyle that is not only immoral and disgusting but also very easily picked at and widely discouraged you shouldnt expect people to not react in one way or another.
You mean immoral and disgusting in your opinion? Personally I think gay people have every right not to expect people to behave like moronic five year olds, but there you go.

Unless there is something very odd about you, they are likely to be anatomically identical. A question. Who (or what) is responsible for the existence of gay people?

Gayness is Satan twisting peoples minds into vile abominations of the perfection that was intended. Thse sick warped people submit to their lust in wanton disregard to Gods commandments.
Gayness is a new phenomena and began in the west, with the destruction of Moral values as people turned away from Gods word. Nowadays gays are allowed to be protected from the rightious indignation of God fearing people , and your not even allowed to put them in Lunatic Asylums any more for being queer.

Once people accept Gods just and unconditional love for all of humanity, they wont feel the need to be sick perverted abominations who should be clubbed into extinction.

To be serious for a second...it is hard for people of faith to accept what we consider a seriously sinful lifestyle to be "normalized". Especially in regards to the society we want our children to be raised in. That doesn't mean violence against these people is justified, by any stretch of the imagination, but boiling it down to simple close-minded bigotry is wrong as well. I choose to ignore the gay lifestyle and I'm lucky enough to live in an area where my family isn't really exposed to it...besides on television of course. I'm not saying they shouldn't be familiar with reality...but that isn't a lifestyle I want my children to consider "normal"...because to a person of faith it is quite far from normal.

There is no question that it is highly bad to hurt or persecute gays and lesbians. They are human beings, we shoudl treat them with respect and show them kindness. It's just that gay activists(who are often different from average homoseuxals) dont make it easier to people with more traditional point of view.The thing is that gay activists are in the avangarde of every "progressive",leftist and anti christian movements in this world.They are not poor minority(at leats here in West) but they are good organizes rich organization which has millions of dollars to fight for their revolution. Because it is what they want, a social and sexual revolution, with no respect to tradition and religion.I also wonder what minorities will defend the children of nowadays gay activists.Because it is clear that these political and ideological cirlces need "opressed" minorities to defend(women,children,immigrants,).

Hmmm...perhaps socialized industry and collective land ownership? Naw, surely not.

That is sort of like defending Stalin isn't it? Is there any worse insult these days besides being called a "white anglo male"...

I had a gay roommate in college. Really nice chap. I used to hang out with him and his friends (both gay and straight) all the time. I went to gay bars with him for a couple of drink (had already converted from Islam to christianity so this was ok ). Outside of a few pushy gay men I had a good time. I look at it like this, Isa hung out with a lot worse while he was on earth from adulterers to thieves. His apostoles weren't exactly part of high society when he met them.
