...which means you will burn in hell aswell lol

If God created homosexuality then how can it be a sin?
Clearly the bible was written in a much more conservative age, and needs a ing update if they wanna keep people interested. Catholicism is holding this back |

Homosexuality isn't even a damn sin. It's all a bible misinterpretation, i'm forgetting the whole story but i'll post it up when i find it. And why the is it bad to do buttsex anyway?
Priests molest kids, yeah like what? 1%?
Last time I checked, sperm aren't living or sentient, neither are eggs.
Most Christians in my area don't really care if you follow the Koran. And what's bad about it?
Israel doesn't belong to the Jews. Mexico doesn't belong to the Mexicans. There should be no boarders.
Not all Christians believe in what the RIGHT WING church does. |
I want to see you back homosexuality not being a sin, in scripture. On the other hand, it's no worse a sin than when I lie, or swear, or fornicate with a woman. I think it's pretty clear that sodomy is not acceptable to God, but it's not any worse than the sins we commit on a daily basis. |

well, i was raised a roman catholic up until i was about 13, thats when i disassociated myself from all religion. ive realized that i need to research and study different type of religion before i can accept something of my own. yes i was raised as a catholic, but how do i know that is it for ME ? i stated going to church before i can make decisions on my own for just about anything. so i think its very unfair to force ANY religion on a child. i believe something so holy as practicing a certain religion, should be a judgement made individually rather than forced on by family based on history. |
Good luck to you. I did the same thing, starting when I was 12. What I meant to say in my post is that I think any religious teaching should be done only after the child is of an age where he can explore all religions and decide what is right for them. By raising a child in one religion it is inevitable that they will always identify with that religion.... especially in the bad times, the times when one needs their faith the most. As much as I wish you luck and hope you find what you are looking for I can almost certainly predict you will end up either remaining a Roman Catholic or at the very least a christian.... more likely protestant then Orthodoxed. |

Thats because its unprovable, thats why i referred to your "question" as a rhetorical statement |

So why keep the bible then...why not just say...i believe in a God, a higher power and throw that completely dated piece of writing out the window?
You guys are right...the bible does need an update, in fact, in needs a complete re-work so that it actually makes some ing sense... |

And like I said before gay=sin is a misinterpretation which i'm still looking for. |
It comes from the story of Soddam. The men of the town attempted to rape an angel so Yahweh destroyed the city. From this story rose the belief that God destroyed Soddam because it was full of homosexuals. I find it odd that people automatically assumed that homosexuality was the sin as opposed to rape. In my mind it would seem that rape is the bigger offence. |

Yeah, I'm still looking for where I found out about misinterpretations. |

Find me a verse in the bible that says gays are going to burn in hell. We are all sinners, and salvation is a gift that must be accepted. Committing a certain sin doesn't mean we're going to burn in hell. That's a misconception, furthered by fanatics that misinterpret the word and focus on the wrong points. |

That burn in hell bit was used by the church in the old days to get money out of people imo. Do religions still advocate that way of thinking these days? |

Better challenge.... find a passage in the bible that refers to "burning" in hell. This idea of burning and hell being made of fire and brimstone comes from Daunte's Inferno... "the pain shall be as if one's flesh were burning without end".... the bible makes no mention of fire, burning, or stone. The only thing the bible really says about hell is that it is outside of the sight and love of God. |
