Sick of people shoving gay pride crap down people's throats. It's so stupid. Are people so low that they have to add a political message to cookies now? As a christian, I will never recognize their partnership despite what the government claims. |
Christian religion doesn't mean you have to hate gay people. This image is from the Christopher Street Day in Berlin, it shows the truck of the christian gays:

The banner on the left says something like: man-on-man, lesbian, confident, christian

No. The bible clearly states that being gay is a sin. Any christian who defends it as if it is not a sin is either not actually a christian or very mislead and ignorant of what their religion actually states. Sure, you can be kind and nice to others with different beliefs but you must draw a line and the sand and not stand up for something that is explicitly stated as wrong.

An awfully bold statement from an individual who seems to be terribly misled about the teachings of Christ himself.
The Old Testament is a Jewish text which has little to do with the teachings of Christ. Jesus directly contradicted much of the Old Testament providing us with a far more humane belief system. As a Christian you are not referring to anything in the Old Testament so you must have mistakenly been taught that Christ condemned homosexuality as a sin which he most certainly did not. Also, as a supporter of "traditional" marriage I hope you also condemn interracial marriage. Now, considering that marriage is a Jewish institution and not Christian, it is worth noting that three out of the four major Jewish denominations support gay marriage and that neither you nor anybody else has the right to deny other religious groups the right to practice as they wish. Finally, several Christian churches also support same sex-marriage but that is hardly necessary at this point.
