But you will find that gays will not stop just yet only for recognition, they want more. Gays want to promote the gay lifestyle as cool thing to do. Do you get it ? once you have given in one inch, the gay circle wants another inch.
Here is what you get when you give in. America has allowed gay to have gay school. What does this lead to? You tell me!! A course to understand and learn about gays? or how to promote gay lifestyle to all pre-gays or how to enchance sexual pleasure with same sex?
Originally posted by saintboy:I hope it will stop at hiring gays and no more. Homosexuals are not bad people. However homosexual is a sin. We hate the sin, not the sinner. So accepting them for their sexual deviation is good. Note that i said deviation, not orientation, because no person is born a homosexual. They must have been influenced by all-girls siblings or other stuff. They can be changed.
I hope this is where it will stop. No legalisation of gay marriages or gay activities in future. That's not accepting them for their sexual deviation already, that's promoting sexual deviation as a lifestyle. It is wrong.
Actually you are touching on the issue of whether there is an absolute truth to it or not. Whether homosexuality is a sin or not. If you don't believe that it is a sin, no matter what reason i give you will still think that its okay as long as you have the right to do it.Originally posted by the Bear:your sin... does it mean it's a sin for others?
why is it no one figures this part out... what people want to do in the privacy of their bedrooms is their own business... it is a right, not a privilege...
imagine someone saying that you cannot drink alcohol.. so much so that communion with bread and wine is forbidden... because consumption of alcohol is a sin for another religion...
don't think it's that far-fetched...
the majority must never vote away or force away the rights of a minority

bear. maybe u should read the bible? u are a catholic after all. like saintboy said, its the sin tt plagues the sinner. we are all sinner, but we shouldn't encourage them to live like this, rather we should encourage them to find a way out thru prayer and councilling.Originally posted by the Bear:your sin... does it mean it's a sin for others?

christian defination. people who are sinful who have been saved by grace.Originally posted by BLIM:Hi,
Recently I've read abt Churches are against homosexuality. Basically my feeling towoards what the church priest who are against them, I find it very wrong and not a professional way.
Gays are humans themselves and they have the right to be in this world despite some church priest or father who are against them. What they say that Homosexuality is a sin. They said that according to the bible, it's wrong.
First of all, according to christianity, all humans are sinners! Not only gays. Just because of government has open their doors to gays and they are unhappy. We should welcome them open heartedly not by treating them with discrimination.
Religion teaches us to harmonious not with discrimination. I find it quite sad that there are some people who treat gays as "Freak".
I would like to ask that how does ppl define Christian.
most christians are absolutely sure that the bible is absolutely right, so far it hasn't been wrong at all. we dun place our faith in ourselves, rather we place our faith in what God has spoken.Originally posted by Icefalcon:Most Christians are absolutely sure that they are absolutely right. Their faith cannot be challenged.
Afraid of sin? Afraid of homosexuals taking over? Want to save homosexuals? Want to stop homosexuality?
Have faith.

it IS un-naturalOriginally posted by fader:my take on this is that there is no right or wrong. but homosexuality is unnatural and therefore shouldn't be accepted. normal male and females can have sex with each other naturally and reproduce. homosexuals have unnatural sex with each other and cannot reproduce. if that is the case, wouldn't that mean a declining birth rate?
many would say this is a question of mindset. and i agree totally. however, why should we change our mindset instead of them changing their behaviour? if a person does something funny in his house and doesn't want others to see, why should his neighbours close their curtains? he should close his.
Homosexuality IS unnatural. So is surgery. I have yet to see someone say "Surgery is unnatural, therefore, I shall die, instead of going for surgery, since I am destined to." Surgery is accepted. Therefore, I feel that "unnatural" is an invalid argument.Originally posted by fader:my take on this is that there is no right or wrong. but homosexuality is unnatural and therefore shouldn't be accepted. normal male and females can have sex with each other naturally and reproduce. homosexuals have unnatural sex with each other and cannot reproduce. if that is the case, wouldn't that mean a declining birth rate?

surgery is used when it comes to life and death. i don't see why you are comparing these two issues together?I am comparing them together because you used the word "unnatural". Surgery saves lives, and therefore, blooms Earth's population beyond what it is "natural". I have nothing against surgery - I'm just pointing out a fact.
what research is there that gays are researched on and proven o help the society.There is no such research that I know of. But I feel that homosexuals can benefit society just like you and me. I do not believe that being homosexual makes one unable OR unwilling to contribute to society.
