...to be Christian, you must follow the Bible. In order to follow the Bible, you must believe that Homosexuality is wrong. Plain and Simple. If they do not, they are no Christian unless they feel they are part of a sect of Christianity that allows it, which I have so far heard of none, but it is always possible since you don't need more than one person to follow, it could just be yourself who believes it. But still, that would mean you are not Christian but a branch of Chirstianity.


Now let's just take a moment right now to defend the bible...

By Christian interpretation, there is absolutely NO valid portion of the bible that denounces homosexuality.

I would recommend the link below to see why I make that statement:

http://tomway.home.att.net/bible_homo.htm

The people today in the Christian community that look down on homosexuality may have entwined their feelings against an unorthodox lifestyle with their very perception of life, but that is not to be confused with the entirety of Christian belief. Truthfully, one of my best philosophical and theological friends online is a completely devout Catholic, and she's one of the most supporting people on multisexuality that I know. In the end, it's not the Christians to blame. It's just a combination of the misinformed and the prejudicing defending themselves with what they believe to be divine translation, relentlessly sullying the name of a religion that by standard is very society-friendly and righteous.

EDIT: I suppose, given a belief in Leviticus from the Old Testament but no authoritary reference of Galatians, you could certainly consider the Jews to have every right in the world to be against homosexuality, but even then the majority accepts it under that rule that you "love thy neighbor." Completing the Abrahamic trio, Muslims believe that it's our god-given freedom to sin and make mistakes, and that punishment of homosexuality is something only the Source can judge (At least, in the most ideal fashion this would be true. I've heard all about the hangings of men for "homosexual behaviour" in Iran, but again, those are just bigots claiming a mandate of heaven when they persecute people. Justified members of Islam would by no means endorse them).

Personally, I say power to listening to your heart wherever it leads you; whether the person in question is gay, straight or bi-sexual. What really burns me up is when hard-core hetero-sexuals critisize or judge gays unfairly.

i don't understand why other people get so..........what's the word.....intimdated??? freaked out maybe???? anyway i don't understand why people get so scared about homosexuality. there is nothing wrong with it. and i'm not saying that people in this guild are being "bashers" i'm talking about other people who aren't as ok with it. love comes from the heart, who are we to say what kind of love it is? unfortunately people are always afraid of something is different from, they're afraid because they don't understand it......and that's really sad......maybe if they experienced some of the love homosexual couples had for each other maybe they wouldn't be so freaked about it...........


anyway that's just my thought.......

The religion itself, is not against homosexuality. There are always going to be people who are afraid, even if it isn't against their religion. There are other reasons to be against homosexuality. I personally am not against it. In fact, I'm bi. This is just the honest truth of life. People will feel how they feel. I know christian people who aren't against homosexuality at all.

I really don't understand why people have a problem with gayness. I mean, I'm straight myself, but I have no problem with any other sexual orientation. The heart wants what it wants and who are we, wiccan or otherwise, to judge that? We have no right to insult another's true feelings and I think that anyone who does persecute gay people, or any other minority group, deserves to be dragged out and shot.

I dont think sexuality has to do with religion. Im straight but I see nothing wrong with a woman that finds other women attractive(or vice versa) and are wiccan. ^-^

I think the question was a little off to begin with but I think peopel are blowing it a little out of the water. I'm bi and pagan but I'm not bi because I'm pagan. And not all christian peopel are straight.
we've established this by now I've noticed. *laughs* yeah well I obviously have no problem with it.
