1)the authority to ban opinions is called:political correctness and censorship.If you wanna know who the power have to ban opinions than simply take a look in many europaen countries in which people who deny eg. holocaust will be imprisoned.I may accept this in germany because of their history but not in eg danemark as you can deny the holocaust of native americans by white christians or hindhus by arab muslims.

2)muslims are far more homophob than christians.what they have to do with this?Well,you are pointing at a single stupid reporter in the wesf but you ignore a 100% catastrophic situation for millions homosexuals in muslim countries.You simply have the wrong priorities.In western countries the homosexuals have past the worst and live in a almost heavenly situation compared to muslim countries.We are slipping towards a one-way street where huge problems are ignored while small unimportant are "made" as if they are real huge problems.

3)of course they are not a race but i don't know the right english term,but they are absolutely nothing special .why shouldn't they be criticized?Why is a single comment so important to make a thread?Especially after reading the quote(by thranx):your thread is completely out of context as this guy said some good things.

Do you even understand what a Christian is?

A Christian takes certain stands against certain acts and lifestyles. You can accept and love someone, but still know what they do is sin. If you cannot understand that concept, then I don't think you understand Christianity at all.

There's a huge difference between considering something a sin and expressing your opinion in a way that affects other people. As a Christian I strongly disapprove of people who cheat on their partners and of people who desire other people's wives/husbands/gfs/bfs, but I don't go around calling them sinners, though they do sin. If they were to ask me, I'd tell them that yes, it is a sin, but it's none of my business or place to tell them what to do. 

Also, by telling gay people that you don't like their lifestyle is more similar to telling black people that you don't approve of their "blackness" than telling cheaters that they sin when they're cheating, as being gay is not a choice.

Thanks for the moderation after I already moderated myself.  I suspect if I didn't cross it out & say sorry for insulting organized religion as a whole (not Christianity in particular) by being so bold as to suggest it may be "unreasonable" (harsh words I know), you wouldn't have even takin note of it as "flaming" as you put it.

Slimebeast - "It's not that simple.  The significance and weight of a certain Bible passage depends on several factors (what's the context? who delivered the passage? who was the recipient? Is it mentioned elsewhere?" "The question is whether to act upon those desires or not (the "lifestyle") and that's up to a person's choice"

 Perfectly resonable!

Maxkingofthewild - "There are 6 passages that refrence homosexuals.

Genesis 19:1–11, Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, Romans 1:26–27, I Corinthians 6:9 and I Timothy 1:10"

"Leviticus 20:13 NIV - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.",

which I guess is reasonable, I wouldn't want to call that unreasonable & get banned for flaming?

I agree with your post except for the bold. It's not comparable to skin color at all. To have the sexual desires of homosexuality is not a choice, correct, but that's not the question here. The question is whether to act upon those desires or not (the "lifestyle") and that's up to a person's choice, no matter how unfair one may think it is.

Are you mad ! you know nothing about the holy trinity ??? god - jesus and the holy spirit

the holy spirit who take control of the Disciple to write the bible it was literaly a event and absolutly not some dudes on Drugs.

Oh, I agree with you (bolded). It's really not the same. Not the best example, but I still think it's a quite comparable. Maybe a better example would be if say you were attracted to thin girls, but that was a sin and according to the bible you were only allowed to date, marry and sleep with obese girls. You have literally no attraction to obese girls and the society keeps telling you that slim girls are bad. It just makes no sense in your head, as you're supposed to either spend your entire life alone or marry an obese girl who won't even give you an erection (how are you supposed to have sex or even fall in love of you don't find someone attractive). And then they tell you that it's your choice and that they have no problem with you being into slim girls, but they do consider you dating gilrs sinful. 

Btw, no offence to obese people. I'm just trying to give a better example and don't suggest that obese girls are unattractive, just not attractive to certain guys (same with skinny girls I guess). 

Does this make more sense?

We might not be around but christiany and any other form of religion will not exist in the ''near'' future because is not based on any facts and sooner or later people will realize it and everyone will be much happier. no more wars. no more hate. no more witchcrafting and mythical creatures will control our race. We are not there yet because the majority of people even in the west are not very educated nor open minded yet (just look at our parents and grandparents). the most idiotic question that every human is looking for answer is the purpose of our existence, which can be summarized by the big bang theory/fact that we are here by a cosmetic accident and that is about it. just enjoy your life like every other living creature is doing in this planet and be clad you where given the opportunity to be human with knowledge and advanced prain functionally to understand how lucky we are just to exist. (sorry for the lengthy comment and my bad english)

so we can be condemned but we cannot condmned him? i think that is the ignorant part....

THIS makes me want to punch people in the face... They have equal rights... what you're talking about is special rights for a group of poeple who choose to live an alternate life style... and don't give me "it's not a choice" I make choices every day contrary to what I am.  Rights should be made to make sure they are not discriminated against and laws to assure that they are not pursicuted to protect them from violence. They should not get special rights to marry their partner.

As for the sin part... it is a SIN. This isn't debatable anymore then a LIE is a sin. Punching someone in the face without just cause is also a sin. In The Bible (yes people it is a book please as least capitolize it) the only sin that is unforgivable is blasphemy. All sin is equal in God's eyes... meaning it's all equally horrible and he can't look on us dirty pethetic sinners who bang our girlfriends and boyfriend or lie to our bosses when we're late or can't make it because we are sick(hungover).

Love the sinner, hate the sin. I fully support those who come out even if I don't agree with the life style they choose to live. That's on them and I am not responsible for the actions of other adults.
