Since the last topic got closed because of sensless flames and unfortunately, I was not fast enough to respond to all of your questions, I would like to continue this. PLEASE, KEEP IT CIVIL. THATS ALL I ASK. IF WE DON'T DEAL WITH IT WE WILL NEVER DEAL WITH IT. Now as I was saying:
How AREN'T you an animal? Name one thing that you've got that no other animal has the potential to have? There are certain brain things that only humans have, as well as opposable thumbs, but none of this is ultra-unique. It's remnent in other animals too.
We superiorize ourselves and advance. Animals act on instinct and predetermined reactions.
how can you blindly hate a whole demographic group of people just because you don't understand their way of life?
I don't hate them, and believe me, I perfectly understand them. My God does not hate them, in fact, he loves them. He loves all creation. He just does not like their actions. My duty is to inform you, that he is giving you a chance to repent and do what is right.
"i highly doubt people choose to be gay... people are born into it. i mean, some people may choose to experiment with the same sex because they are curious, but i believe true "gayness" is genetic. why is it when a twin is gay, there is like a 50-55% chance that the other twin is gay as well? believe it or not, families who lead caring lives can bear gay children too."
Prove it. Since all signifcant scientific attempt to prove that from the 1990s seem to have failed or been misinterpeted, I sure hope I didn't miss anything.
its funny that a "god" who is so righteous and loving can forsake hundreds of thousands of gay people across the planet. and its also funny that little religious advocates like gold can justify bigotry by saying its in the bible, or that god said so. you're no different from the slaveowners back in the day that claimed a single line in the bible as justification that the white race is superior to all others.
Am I truly no different? I'm not trying to enslave you, or try to raise my self above you. I know that wrong doers have in the past twisted God word to their favor leaving others in disfavor.
A father must punish his child for a misbehaviour. A father disciplines his child because he loves his child. If we are Gods children, and he set up a law for us which the punishment of not following it was death. Since we are all born with sin, we all die. The penalty of sin is death. However, since we are imperfect, we can be forgiven if we seek forgiveness.
also, you guys complain that those committing jihad against the usa are crazy? in my opinion they're just taking it one step above what you guys are talkin about... using a holy source as justification for a personal belief. who are you to say what "god" is saying, when the bible was written by mortals? what if they interpreted "god's word" differently than what god intended? i think those who believe in god should be content having a personal relationship with god, instead of trying to convert others to believe what you believe. the path to righteousness should be found within, not corrupted by hearsay and ignorance.
Do you honestly believe that God would allow that?
The Bible condemns a lot of things that most of us think nothing about, such as wearing clothes of two different threads, eating shellfish, etc. It also says that it is ok to sell your children into slavery, and that slaves can be beaten as punishment, but to kill them is in fact a sin.
Please, tell me where.
