I was going to write word for word what Sean said. I mean word for word. Personally, I thought what they were doing was "interpretive". Who is Jesus today? Read your Bible please. "When you do these things unto the least of them, you do them unto me."
How come the "gays" no more about scripture than some Christians do? Do you think it might be because they know what it is like to be treated as the "least" of society? They weren't disrespecting religion, they were interpreting it.
You suggest we shun them, how far back in the closet do we want them shoved? Took them years to be able to come out and be who they are, and now we should shun them?
I have an idea! Instead, let's "embrace" them. Embrace them for who they truly are. God's creation, just like you and me. They are God's children, he loves them just like he loves you and me.
I have one more question for you. If there wasn't one thing, not one word mentioned anywhere in the Bible that you could interpret as homosexuality being wrong, would you embrace them then?
I think not! If your answer is no, you still wouldn't embrace them, then you might want to start finding out what it truly is about "gays" you don't like. Because if God doesn't condemn them, how can you?
Sean- I'm afraid you lost me.
CB-Gays are not treated as "least" in society and when I was talking about shunning them I wasn't talking about all gays I was talking about these insects that pulled this stunt on Easter Sunday. You also say it took years to come out of the closet for them, this is bogus because who a person is screwing is none of anyones business. Gays were never in the closet, their lifestyle was and should be.
"I have an idea! Instead, let's "embrace" them. Embrace them for who they truly are. God's creation, just like you and me. They are God's children, he loves them just like he loves you and me."
This is what I'm talking about. Everytime a conservative mentions gay people they must be a bigot. Gays ARE embraced in society, look at TV. When you get a bunch of radicals like the ones mentioned above and the ones who went into communion dressed in drag they knock themselves and all other gays back 50 years. If you want your lifestyle to be accepted this isn't the way to do it.
Don't try to do the is homosexuality right or wrong, you know its wrong, evolution or creation which ever you believe if everyone was gay at the beginning we wouldn't be here.
And I didn't bring religion into this, they did. How a person practices religion is no-ones business.
