although i am almost a Christian (today)... i dont think you need the bible to tell you whats right. if you believe in a loving, compassionate god what do you think the right answer is? |

In my humble opinion it is so that we humans can only be loved, hated, shunned or praised uppon choices of our free will. Anyone who agrees with that? |

Luminous Spacious Dream Masters That Holographically Communicate
among other teachers taught me
not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.
The bible is the word of God. It is just as true today as it was when it was penned. Who are you to pick and chose which parts of the Bible God meant and which He didn't? Where in the Bible do you find where it lists the dates upon which certain teachings no longer apply? Did I miss a footnote at the end of every one of God's laws where it said "if you think it's a good idea"? By your own authority you have decided that these laws are "old fashioned" or "no longer apply". To say that is to tell God Himself that He is wrong about His own creation; to say that His word is wrong. His word is very clearly spelled out in the Bible for everyone to see. To oppose God's law is to oppose that which is righteous and you will be judged. |

Most of the points have been covered already, but I would like to present another angle on religion.... |

A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does
Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.
If that's true, why is everybody so worried about trying to follow the contradictory rules? Or really worried about doing or not doing anything? |

I think the general consensus is that the old testament is pretty much bunk. The NT pretty much replaced all the old laws, just because they don't apply to today. Like selling your daughter into slavery, stoning wives who cheat etc. If i recall correctly there is nothing about being gay in the NT. Either way christian's love to hate it because they don't understand it. As a gay male...... it sucks having christian family/friends that just say it's a sin because they don't get it. (But yet they still love their pork) |

The council of nacea put in what they wanted. Not God. |

Things are not as they seem
Homosexual/ heterosexual |
|
Psst, I think NonDualistic is trying to say he's gay! |
|
It's something wrong with their brain. |
|
yea i used to be christian but some of their teachings are harsh towards others so now i just go with the flow(religion wise). and belive if homosexuals wish to be that way then thats there right |
