When people make a decision to become a Christian, they likely make an effort to alter behavior in some way.
But with gay people, they have no intention to change their sexual orientation...YET...they continue to practice Christianity.
I am wondering how they are able to reconcile that fact, with what's in the Bible?
Why exactly do they feel justified in the eyes of God?
The bottom line is this: In spite of all your caterwalling about the bible this, the bible that, the world is not the same as it was 2000 years ago. PERIOD. There is NOTHING you can EVER do to change that. Civilization is changing and for the better, for this thing called FREEDOM. Freedom FROM religion, from the yolk of religion, from the brainwashing of religion, hopefully from the wars of religion.
Whether or not there is in fact a god is a moot point. Whether there is or isn't a god, it is entirely absent from human existence. That is a fact. If you don't believe me look at ISIS, look at Boko Haram (NO western education). If that isn't religious war I don't know what that phrase means.
Get over it. GET OVER IT. Your world is long gone and diverging from the past brainwashing of religion. It has taken 2000 years to get to the point where diversity is a fact, sexual diversity, racial diversity, gender equality, these are the new freedoms and I see no god coming down to say otherwise.
You bitch and moan about how the bible is subjugated, destroyed. I LIKE IT THAT WAY.
I WANT freedom FROM religion. You want to believe in a non resident god, fine. Don't keep trying to force your 2000 year old CRAP onto us in century 21.
Have you heard, for instance, about the thousand plus sexual abuse cases against Catholic priests in my home state of Pennsylvania?
I would assume your answer to that would be, well, they ARE Catholics, what do you expect.
So they don't worship the same book you do? They are a different religion from your Baptist or whatever brainwashed religion YOU belong to?
Can't you see the divisiveness going on here? You think GOD is responsible for that?
