and no satan blaming please, if god didn't want us to be wrong then he wouldn't have made us capable!

Because God planned for a man and a woman to be together, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman.

Then he wouldn't have made us capable of being attracted to the same sex if he didn't intend for us to be gay!

Whose god? None of my gods believe it's wrong. Did you mean the Judeo-Christian God? Not all who believe in him think that being gay is wrong in his eyes, either.

Then we wouldn't have free will.
You seem to be insinuating that God intended for us to be gay...? That's weird, because in my Bible, it says something to the effect of homosexuals will not enter the kingdom.

Then they are ignoring the words of the Bible.

my faith really has "no comment" with regards to sexual orientation, and holds it as a non-issue.
more important than who you are with is how you treat them, how you treat yourself, and how you treat others. all deserve to be treated with compassion, kindness, and good will- i believe that God demands nothing less from me.
and besides- God would not have put Lauryn Hill upon this earth and all up in my face if He did not see fit for me to think very well of her lovely physical countenance.

Then i suggest that your god got it wrong with free will, the way i see it gay people of a faith who believe it's wrong to be gay are still going to go into heaven gay or not as god has himself exposed a loophole! And yes im refering to religions who's gods think it wrong to be gay!

I'm sorry- please strike that. It's better left to another thread, and it's no longer my religion, and therefore only my business when it crosses politics and the like.
Penguin, in the future, I'd prefer if you save the 'your god' references to another forum. You've already gotten replies from people who whose verison of deity does not think being gay is evil, so continuing to use that phrase creates an unnessarily confrontational air. Just something to think about.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
1 Corinthians 6:8-10
Jesus did not say these words. So what? I'm one of those crazy Christians who actually follows the ENTIRE Bible.
Ummm...what? Why would a gay person think it's wrong to be gay? I don't understand what you're saying. God never gives us anything we can't handle. No one HAS to be gay, you're not born gay or straight. I believe it's a choice.

Ooops, sry, I had already began replying. Well, we might as well discuss, if you would like, anyway.

That happens to me a lot. No worries.
To be honest, I don't feel like I have the emotional energy right now to respond, anyway. I forget that not all members of any faith would like to be 'spoken up for' as I thought I was doing in what I thought was a defense of the Christian path.

i didn't say anybody HAS to be gay and yes it is free will but if the gods of the religions that think it is wrong made people with free will then it is wrong for those gods of those faiths to frown upon such behaviour. 'gods' gave us freedom for a reason, to use it!

It's not really free will if you are born that way:sad4:Anade said:

As Feathers alluded to, not all Christians believe being gay or homosexual acts are wrong in God's eyes.darkpenguin said:
The ones who do will point to text in Leviticus that refer to one man lying with another as an 'abomination'.BTW...this topic has been bandied about many, many times and usually ends the same way. You may want to utilize the Search feature to locate some of those.:bounce
