wtf? So, therefore, one who feels real, pure, love (NOT LUST) for someone of the same gender is giving into a devilish temptation? One that is put on the same level of alcohol? With today's society the way it is, why would anyone CHOOSE to give in to this temptation!? Of all the sins listed in the Bible, at least the majority of them make some sense. (except for all that bizzarre misceallany found in Corinthians or whatever about shaving and nylon clothing. And, come to think of it, why are we not paying attention to those sins!?) But, there is never ANY REASON given against homosexuality in the Bible besides "because God said so SO THERE. XP" It's just...sickening...that people put pure love on the same plane as alcoholism. I just can't find another word for it; sickening. *reads over post* er... no offense.

You don't have to do the naughty dance to be gay O.o, just like you dont have to do it to be straight...maybe if you like a girl and your a girl or same things with guys there is no harm. The bible verse says you are not to sleep with them. Being gay doesn't mean you have to sleep with em.

From a scientific standpoint, as well as a religious one, homosexuality does not make sense. Why would homosexuality evolve into a natural trait when it has no positive effect on our basic duties of survival and reproduction. Man + woman = new people. Man + man = no new people.
Most people defend homosexuality because they're looking at it from an emotional level, which I understand, but I also know that it's easy to defend ANY sin from a purely emotional level, saying that it makes you "feel good".
Also know my opinions on homosexuality are constantly changing....

I just can't find another word for it; sickening. *reads over post* er... no offense. First of all, pure love between a man and a man is NOT devilishly sinful - this is what would be described as true friendship. However, once man to man relationships enter the realm of sexuality or eveb romanticism, I think this is when it begins to go outside God's plan. God designed sex as a way of reproducing, yes, but more importantly, as a way for deep, intimate connection between man and wife. Other aspects of this relationship (physical, romantic, intellectual, etc.) all work to complement the sacred bond that is marriage and sex. God created this as a way to make new babies, and this kind of a relationship between two men or two women does not have God's intended result, and is therefore not right with Gods' plan, much in the same way that sex outside of marriage is not right with his plan, either.

I might...:/ I'm not a very outspoken (LOL IRONY) person when it comes to this sort of thing...but I'm still going to answer questions in school. >_> honestly though, I don't see how silence is a form of protest...

why would anyone CHOOSE to give in to this temptation!? because THEY don't believe it to be temptation! That's why! Of all the sins listed in the Bible, at least the majority of them make some sense. (except for all that bizzarre misceallany found in Corinthians or whatever about shaving and nylon clothing. And, come to think of it, why are we not paying attention to those sins!? because we can assume that those sins were written to the people of PAUL'S time! The new testament is mostly letters from disciples and Paul writing to people back in that time when it was culture and it was different. We can still believe some of that stuff, but a lot of it was written to the HEBREWS... or the CHORINTHIANS... or the GALATIONS... that's why those books have those titles! But, there is never ANY REASON given against homosexuality in the Bible besides "because God said so SO THERE. XP" Bible created man and woman. and in the scientific world, sex was designed for man and woman. You can be absolute best friends with someone where you connect completely and you can talk about ANYTHING, but you're not in love with that person... but you can convince yourself that you are if you feel like it. You know how sometimes when you're friends with a guy and you think you like him? That's because you THINK you're supposed to feel that way and that it makes sense! You dont HAVE to like him, but you let yourself. So therefore, people deserve to burn in hell for going against God's pointless guidelines. First of all, you "burn in Hell" when you don't follow Jesus Christ as your Savior, not because you're gay. Homosexuality is a SIN! It doesn't condemn you if you're saved, but hopefully you'll try to abide by God's rules and you'll believe God's word. God gives you the choice to follow Him, it's up to you whether or not you choose to. If you don't, you can't say that God is wrong because he gave you the chance! Once you choose, you can give your life to God and HE takes care of things! wow. God gives warnings, chances, it's up to you to take them! honestly though, I don't see how silence is a form of protest... lol i agree. ...um... if someone's dead, how could they care if you were silent or if you did the chicken dance on their grave? =P
