Belief in God produces Hell on Earth

numonex mentioned Christians as being Homophobic and Bigoted.  Does that mean to disagree with someone elses beliefs or standards automatically means you hate them?  I don't hate Homosexuals.  I have a gay cousin and gay acquaintences that I like, but I don't support and condone their beliefs.  Does this make me evil because my standards are not the same?  I'm not actively persecuting them.  If we flip the coin, would that then make them bigoted against me that they don't believe how I do?  The answer is of course not.

Doesn't your religion consider homosexuals as sinning and being an "abomination"? You are not disagreeing with their "beliefs and standards", you are disagreeing with who they are as people (It's no different than someone "disagreeing" with women for being women or people of a certain race for being of that race). Why are you using the word "standards"? Are you implying that you're better than gays because you're heterosexual? And what does sexual orientation have to do with "standards" anyway?

As for the persecution part, do you support same sex marriage, or are you one of the people who think that since their religion doesn't allow people of the same sex to get married, then the state shouldn't either? From what I read people of your religion actively supported that degrading Prop 8 thing in California.

So yes, you are homophobic, and you are a bigot!
