Originally posted by PalynkaIt's not only in christian countries gays are mistreated, it's the same in muslim countries. A certain percentage of people in the entire human race are going to be gay in any given generation so christians and muslims have to get over the idea that a gay can be 'converted' by just following the precepts of whatever religion is involved. It's MUCH deeper than that, on a physiological level and as such will not be 'converted' by religion in the same way as a straight will not be 'converted' by studying witchcraft. Christians and muslim's have to grow up and live with it.

Originally posted by PalynkaPoint one and two I agree with. As Christians we are commanded to walk in love with all men, especially those who are perceived to be our "enemies" or those at odds with us. Also, the church has a long and notorious history of assuming science contradicts the Bible and then attacking science based upon this assumption. An example that comes to mind is the church demanding that the universe revolves around the earth. It was assumed any other teaching was heretical to the Bible when nothing could be further from the truth. Today aspects of evolution also come to mind.

Originally posted by sonhouseWhat exactly is this "solid evidence" you're talking about?
So grow up and accept 100 years of solid evidence for the existance of evolution and stop grousing about it. Live with it.

Originally posted by PalynkaDo you think all Christians are like this? I suppose you have never heard of the Metropolitan Community Churches that explicitly support homosexuality, or Courage International, which while not condoning homosexual activity provides support to those who do not wish to live such a lifestyle. One of my friends, a Catholic religious, works at a Catholic school as a counsellor and has a poster on his noticeboard promoting, "say no to homosexuality."
