It's really sad seeing the amount of misguided people here. I must say I completely support Uzi on this and also think homosexuality is wrong. Call me old-fashioned all you want but it seems all morality is going to **** these days. People are becoming as stupid as animals and willing to take anything the media feeds them (like getting out of the so-called "dark age" where everyone acted as normal people [not humping everything that moves and saying that's normal and they were "born this way", and they should be accepted and allowed to do it because you see, they have rights] and support it, without even questioning it.
Marriage should be between a man and a woman ONLY, in a God-approved union. If it isnt, it is not marriage and shouldn't be even called marriage. I am NOT homophobic and NOT judging anyone. I am against the sin, not the sinner. Lots of people are too ignorant to realize that and always start ranting about judging on these type of posts. Yes, I know alot of people (even Christians) are quick to judge even though they are no better. That is not right and I really try not to judge but it's hard because every person is created like that.
If there would be a true separation of church and state, the government wouldn't be able to dictate what the church can and can't do.
One more thing. Please don't try to quote the Bible when you have no idea how to understand it. [Example: If you truly do what the Bible tells you, you shouldn't eat pork. This commandment is from the Old Testament and doesn't apply today, that's what the New Testament is for.]
Ps: I am not Christian, there is a big difference between being believing the Bible and actually being a Christian. Sorry for the confusing post.
Okay, I have some points for this.
1. Marriage isn't Christian. Various other religions have some form of marriage. It may be called something else elsewhere, but because we live in America and speak English, it's called marriage. Be it Hinduism or Buddhism or Islam.
2. The old testament does apply today, if you're Jewish.
3. Much of Christianity does not condemn homosexuality, but homosexual acts. Like you said, hate the sin, not the sinner. However, some denominations actually condone gay marriage, and some even bless gay marriages.
4. The separation of church and state is a misleading phrase. That makes it sound like Christianity is the only religion in the US worth mentioning. The government allows the practice of all religions. It does not give taxes to religious organizations. What the church can not do, other religions are forbidden as well.
new life.
