Good find. I have to agree with it. I talked in great length with one of my good friends that is a Christian about this subject. He said that even if they are gay if they don't act upon it they will be "saved." I disagreed but you can't change everyones point of view I guess. While another friend of mine who is a mormon just came out of the closet about 3 months ago. He had been struggling with this since I've known him. He tried everything possible to stop being gay. He just couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change who he was. The weird part is that he says he will not have gay sex since that is against the word of god. To each their own I guess.

One thing I will never really understand about the Christian religion is how people can believe that only a certain set of people will be saved. In the bible, it says, and this is a popular verse, that God came to save the WORLD. Doesn't that mean everyone? sorry to go off topic, but it just really boggles my mind to think that not everyone will eventually be saved, although they have already been save. Now I'm not making sense.

No, I understand what you're saying. I always kinda believed that no matter who you are, what you do, your sexual orientation, or your religion.. as long you don't harm/abuse anyone, and you try your best to be a good person, you'll go to heaven.

Thanks, ML, it's nice to see someone with similar thoughts. :)

I'm totally reviving this very old thread. . . I just found this on a friend's AIM profile and thought I would share it:


Top 10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong:

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Lol. Funny stuff. Certainly makes a few of the homophobes arguments look a bit stupid.
