"Hate the sin, love the sinner" is what I've most commonly heard.

And to a later post, if being gay is something that you can not change. Then why have I had friends who have gone gay to only come back later straight men? Or are you just going to say that were gay in the first place?

Maybe your friends are bi?

I don't get how you can think you can force yourself to be attracted to a gender. I'll assume that you're straight and that the thought of sleeping with a guy never crossed your mind. If I asked you to be sexually attracted to a guy, how would you do it?



Signature goes here!

Wow, never thought that I would live long enough to see a gay, gamer. (when I said gay, I did not mean to insult anyone)

What, are you 12? Gay people are everywhere and a lot of us like games.

I don't think you guys know that I'm talking about gay christians.

I don't see your point there... I was born and raised Christian so was my boyfriend and pretty much any gay guy I know around here.


If you don't see my point then well. There's nothing more to say.

I'll be honest in that I don't see it either. I went back looking at your prior posts, and failed to see any correlation or point.

I'm surprised, the gay thread managed to get to... 250 or so replies untill the bible-thumpers got in.

Glad to see you know it only affects christians but, I'm still a bit worried on Christian homosexuals. What about them?

I'm an atheist, straight, but I do believe that the only core message of the Christian faith is love eachother, and forgive your fellow man. The rest of the teachings has been made up by men with their own personal agenda.


Right. We are to love one another. But that doesn't mean you love what he does or the way he is. For example. If I had a gay friend I would still love him but not like his act of perversion.

Wow! What a great friend!

- "I love you but I think you're a pervert" Great message...

That's not it at all.

"Hate the sin, love the sinner" is what I've most commonly heard.

I think you answered your own question. Another possibility may be that they have simply suppressed those feelings/urges.

It basically comes down to whether you believe homosexuality is a choice. No doubt some people just do it out of curiousity, but I certainly do not think it's a choice for most people. How else would you explain homosexuality in animals?

I do not nor do I try to understand the sexual behaviors of animals. So I won't comment on that one.

And my friend was dead serious when he came out. It surprised when he told me he'd changed. I was just anticipating what the response would be.

I'm don't think he's bi, but I don't really pry into those things.

And I'm not saying you force yourself to be attracted to anything. I'd rather not get into this argument because I know we differ in opinion and nothing I can say will change your mind and nothing you can say will change mine.

And to answer your last bit, I am straight. I think of .... many things and possibilities. I wonder what my life would be like in many and nearly every situation I can think of. Plus, I have a liking for theatre and through Spring's Awakening and many Outworks performances, I know what I like.

@ Akvod---very nice post and you have stopped and made me think

And I agree now that I have put some thought in it, no person is justified in taking pride in anything that they have not directly impacted,

The color of my skin, the shade of my eyes, and the choice of my partner. If like so many people want me to believe, and I agree with, is a genetic facture that I have no say in…then I have no justification in taking pride in that fact. Sexual orientation and skin color are a flip of the coin from the genetic gambling machine. I could just as easily been gay as straight and I cant see pride from either decision. In fact I agree with you further in saying taking pride an in genetic factor is a slipper slop b/c you just a few step away from looking down on people b/c they less then you


The only gray area I can see here is children, b/c they do take away from my genetic code and such, but the way I raise my daughter will have a far more profound effect on her actions then her genetic coding


Anther point I can no longer see taking pride in is my family history, and or anything that happened before my time on this earth, why should I take pride in someone else victory that I did not contribute to. Its not like I walked the Trail of tears, its not like I landed a ship on the moon, and its not like I faced down the kkk (people dripping with pride over the fact that they have genetic white skin) in the name of equal right

Now that I think about it all I can only ever see pride coming from the actions I take and the legacy I will leave in this world. I could sooner take pride in my daughters first words, or first A+, or first Collage class then I could for the fact my great grandfather was a preacher or my eyes are green.
