I think what my cousin (a pastor) said today is my favorite, and the best, so far:
[quote]as a Christian myself (a supply pastor at that) I am curious as to why homosexuals are called to be celibate? The old testament rule of a man shall not lie with a man, it is detestable. Has nothing to do with morality. It's is a horrible translation of the original Hebrew. The law was given to set the Hebrews apart from the Cananites who were already living in this area. Also, if you are a CHRISTian, you would follow Christ. I find it strange that He remained silent on the subject. Paul can be taken out of context to support hate and so can the OT, but bottom line Christ taught LOVE, that should trump any judgement or rules or names placed upon our brothers. For any organization to support anti- anything that has to do with a human being is wrong and unchristian like. There's my 2 cents and Btw I'm straight and married lol[/quote]
The biggest reason I ended being christian is all the hate that get's carried out in it's name. things like this make me want to rethink that.

[QUOTE=Chrille;33519610]I didn't backpedal, I quoted the entire thing off wikipedia. The salvos didn't say anywhere that they think homosexuals deserved to die.[/QUOTE]
Maybe in the future to stop these arguments, if you quote a whole verse you should somehow highlight the parts relevant to the point you're trying to make.

Yeah, I usually do that, but I thought it was easy to tell which part was relevant to what he said.

Always assume your audience is retarded when posting online.
Yeeaah! Because there are totally better options that operate in everyone's areas!
[QUOTE=Zeke129;33519065]Why is that any better? That quote is saying, word for word, "it's okay if you're gay or bisexual as long as you don't have sex".
I'd be happier with them just saying "god hates fags" because at least that wouldn't be trying to trick idiots into thinking they're saying something they aren't.[/QUOTE]
The only thing they've done wrong is refusing to help people because of their sexual orientation.
All they're saying is "If you want to be a part of our belief, then follow our belief" . According to their belief, any sex that occur without procreation in mind, is a sin.
I mean if this ideology is forced onto people, then ofcourse it's wrong. What I had in mind when I wrote my previous post was, that if someone [b]choose[/b] to be a part of a religion, then they should adapt to that religion.

Discrimination is what idiots and niggers do.
