    Sure man, trust you rather than trust the most influential person of all time. This makes a lot of sense. Why didn't I think of it earlier. I mean what can be more logical? Taking some guys word over Jesus.

    So tell me the name of that altruistic gay organisation: the one that is interested in other people (hospitals, orphanages).

    Just want to get rid of one misunderstanding. Gay people says that being gay is not about sexual obsession. And you proteindude, is the only reason you like woman sexual obsession? Its the same with guy people as with you.

    I'm sure there are plenty of gay members of charities, but why would a charity limit itself to only gay members?

    Here is an example of how your logic sounds to non-homophobes:

    There's a hiking club at my uni + they meet up every week to go hiking. That filthy hiking club hikes every week instead of doing charity work. Hiking is selfish and should be banned!!!

    to #439 I am not Jewish so I follow the New Testament or the New Covenant. You quoted a discussion about the OLD Testament. New means new (not old). It is the New Testament that says I MUST be Born Again (along with all other sinners). It is also the NEW TESTAMENT that makes it clear (crystal clear) that no homosexual, neither fornicator and liars will enter the kingdom of Heaven. 1 Cor 6 9-10 "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."
    So YES, I do believe (fully) all these things above. I made a decision a long time ago which is to not deceive myself. Some things are very clear, and are not dependant on public opinion.


    Login#442: I honestly don't understand what you are trying to say.

    That is so illogical. A hiking club doesn't ask for special rights. It is a hiking club that has no impact on society. It doesn't go around trying to shove it down the politicians throat that they deserve some special rights. If they didn't hike in groups no one would be bothered hikers went about their business by themselves (not in a group). From what I see gays have no peace in their chosen lifestyle and never will. When your conscience tells you you're doing wrong it can never be appeased no matter what social "rights" you get. Conscience comes from 2 greek words which means with knowledge. Whenever you have gay sex you do it with knowledge. it's not something you do by accident.

    Why are you referring to allowing gay marriage and having the corresponding rights afterwards, as special rights ? They are as much as special as the rights heterosexuals have.
    No need to give them "special rights". Just give them the SAME rights that are given to you, which you enjoy from daily.
    It's because of people such as yourself, that gay people struggle so much for their cause.

    NO, NO, NO. It's because of people like myself that society continues. Gay sex is a disgusting activity that damages the body. Again, the anus was not created so you can stick things inside it. And when you have anal sex faeces/toxins enter the body and then who picks up the medical bill?? The taxpayer. So from a non moral point of view, but just a practical one let's not promote something detrimental to society.

    Honestly and this doesn't happen very often I get repulsive thinking of gay couple doing their business. It is so absolute disgusting to call gay sex marriage. Marriage is not a right, it is a privilege and it should always be between a woman and a man. Again, it should not be given "equally" to those destroying society.

    Who picks up the bills for the sexual related diseases from sex from a man and a woman?? The taxpayer. We should ban all sex so that no one ever get sick.

    how are gays destroying anything? There is neighborhood full of gays right near where I live, they have some best landscaping in the city.

    Actually I think marriage is a right, there really isn't anything you can do to have the ability to marry taken away from you. People get married while in prison etc. It seems more like a right.

    lol, can't seem to get gay sex out of your head, ok now I see where the strong feelings are coming from

    Do I condone sex outside marriage? Absolutely not. And that is why we should not condone open marriages or gay marriages. Again, God invented safe sex and called it marriage.

    Right now I have to go so am not sure when I will check up on this post. If you remember nothing else, remember this if you were born gay it doesn't matter. The Bible says you MUST be Born Again.

    So you think that people are born gay. And you call it a sin.
    No people are born in sin, all are born pure and innocent, no less. Sin does not exsit.

    Ridiculous. AIDS in Africa began, and remains, primarily a heterosexual disease, and it is from there, if I remember the studies correctly, that AIDS is believed to have originated. The issue is unprotected sex. From a "non moral point of view," it is a simple, medical fact.

    To #444: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither Californicators, nor icemakers, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor troglodites, nor proteindude, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. Because He said: love the other like yourself...except if he's homosexual, jew, black or handicapped"

    Don't throw the Jews and blacks in. My boss (Jesus) is a Jewish carpenter so I have no beef with the Jews whatsoever. The Bible is a Jewish book. And as far as blacks and handicapped go, nobody does more for them than the Christians do. Who eradicated slavery in Britain? William Wilberforce (a white Christian). So the gay contribution to society is again??? Cause I fail to see it. And I don't believe anyone was born gay. That is a lie being spread by sodomites to appease their own conscience. You gays love sin so much which makes you blind to the obvious: there is a way out. But of course you don't want to repent of your sinful ways.

    Anything you say now just show how selfish and narrow minded you are. Try to think a moment that people are different and should be different. You have to accept that. But you let a book that has been edited thousands of times speak for you. That book says what the Vatican though was right in the middle age and other times. That book is truly the voice of the vatican, you are slave of the vatican my friend.

    Login, I am not a catholic either. The thing about that book is it will still be around long after you are gone man. Of course I am narrow minded: I was told that narrow is the gate that leads to salvation (again I am quoting from that book) and wide is the way that leads to perdition. Man even without that book conscience tells me (and you) that homosexuality is a despicable thing. My kid was asking me what is a homosexual. This kid just heard the word and asked me about it. Of course I didn't want to go into details and I just told him "A homosexual is a man who likes to kiss another man on the lips." His exact words: "That is disgusting." This is a kid speaking his mind out. This is coming from a kid that was never, ever told anything about sexuality. This is an innocent kid talking. Even at an early age (and without the Bible) he can tell the wrong from right. So even without that book kids (and grown ups alike) can reason for themselves.
