If you are against gay marriage, you are a bad Christian.

I will be blunt...Men and women were created for each other. The pieces fit! The d**k was made for the p***y, NOT THE a**!!!

OMG WTF UR FAGZORS!!!! scream GET UR COX AWAY FRUM ME BUM!!!

Gay =/= a**l sex. I'm gay (And admittedly a still a virgin), and I think that a**l sex doesn't exactly look pleasent IMHO.

Ditto. I find sex in general to be rather repulsive, and a**l sex especially so, but that can't change the fact that I find men sexually attractive and women not.

The d**k also fits into the mouth, and can fit in the a**. What is your point? Or are you just being an ignorant person? Have you ever had sex ed? Or are you just not experienced?

Why am I suddenly reminded of Ray Comfort's proof of god using a banana? "It's perfectly designed to fit into your hand!" Well, yeah, but it seems to have been designed with other uses in mind as well...

Seriously, what is it with people who insist that each thing in the world can only have one use?

Hm... funny thing that heterosexual couples are more likely to commit sodomy within the first 6 months of their relationship than homosexuals.

I have not a clue, but I am guessing it is either from inexperience or just told that anything other than missionary style is a sin.

They all blend into each other after a while. Thanks for the correction!

Edit: Hang on, googling claims it was both, and that video starts with the speaker saying "Hold this, Kirk" and handing something to Kirk. Is that Ray Comfort on the left?

Edit: Looks a bit like his Wikipedia picture. So perhaps we're both right?

Final Edit: Yeah, that's definitely Ray. He apparently conceded the argument after people pointed out that modern bananas were the product of selective breeding, although he claimed that it wasn't a serious argument.

I think all of those are really good points, and it's really good of you to spread the word around. The thing is, is that there are a lot of people who disagree with homosexuality who aren't even Christian at all, they can't understand how someone can be attracted to the same sex...And then there are many who are Christians who diagree with homosexuality but not necessarily because they are Christian, they just don't like the idea of it, and will probably use Christianity as an excuse. So you can see how there is a high population of people who disagree with gay marriages, and this population may be Christian but that might not be the real reason behind it. Of course, I'm not speaking for everyone.

But anyway, I don't think it's for me or you to judge whether someone is a bad Christian based on a belief like that.

about your statement that people can't understand it......
I don't understand christianity's beliefs, or how so many christians can discriminate against so many people based on such awful feelings, but I don't try to stop christians from being christian. Trying to stop gay marriage is like trying to stop gays from being gay, from being who they are. So just cause somebody doesn't get something, it doesn't mean it's wrong. The next step should really be to get to learn about it, rather than to judge it.
Basically if you don't get it, how can you POSSIBLY even THINK you have the right to control it?
not you, the person who wrote this post.....I'm not bitching at you specifically. I'm just reflecting on what you said and making my own point.

I disagree with you. If you HATE gays, you're being a bad Christian. However, marrying them is a different story. The bible does indicate that homosexuality is a sin. However, like you said, Jesus did say to love your neighbour as yourself and not to judge your fellow man.
As Christians, we are supposed to treat homosexuality like any other sin (such as hate towards homosexuals). Both sins are equal in God's eyes. and "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). No one sin outranks another just as no sinner outranks another.
Jesus would never have turned His back on someone for being a homosexual. He would have loved them as we are called to love. However, He had no problem rebuking people such as tax collectors for their sins.

Prove it kid. The OP proves otherwise

Irrelevant. Christ never once condemned homosexuality.

Hmmm, that He did.

Quote:

Wrong, because it is not a sin.

Quote:

Prove it. Prove all sins are equal.

Damn right He wouldn't.

Quote:

Again correct.

But you have yet to prove homosexuality is a sin. Good luck.

This is true. I merely intended to imply that hate goes directly against the teachings of Jesus and that it is not how He intended Christians to live.

True, the bible does not directly say "homosexuality is a sin" However there are instances where it is clearly condemned.
Romans 1:26-27
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Leviticus 18:22
'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable

Leviticus 20 *note* Leviticus 20 is titled "Punishments for sin" in many translations
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Judges 19 too long to copy and paste

Prove it. Prove all sins are equal.

One of the core beliefs of Christianity is that all sins can be forgiven. No matter what you have done, God will forgive it if you truly ask for it. No where in the bible does it say "oh, but if you did this, this, or this you're going to have to work a little harder for forgiveness"
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Enlighten me. What is "wrong" with that statement? We're supposed to treat sin with love. If you know the correct method with which one should deal with sin I'd be happy to hear it.

Yes, but though he never specifically condemned homosexuality, he did condemn sexual immorality and lust. Elsewhere in the bible (as I posted above), homosexuality is condemned as immoral.
Matthew 15: 19-20
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.' "

Um, how about leaving us the ******** alone? You're obviously going to heaven, so remove the beam from your own eye before you tell others how to live their lives.

I hate this "zomg luftehsinzors!!!!" It implies something is wrong with us. So hate us with all your heart. Please. In the end it is less hateful. Think about it and you'll understand.

By MAN. MANMANMANMANMAN. As in, infallible, judgemental, bigoted, prejudiced, ******** INFERIOR man.

Jesus was man AND God. And unless I hear it straight from Jesus himself, which I never do (and don't bring up the whole divorce issue--that was, first of all, dealing with marriage/divorce in GENERAL and, second of all, homosexuality was viewed as reprehensible IN THE TIME PERIOD because people didn't know homosexuals couldn't help what they felt), I'm not buying.
