My feeling about some of these homophobes is that it's a defence reaction due to guilt over their own sexual uncertainty. IOW, some of the people who hate gays the most, do so because they can't handle or even admit to the same feelings within themselves.

What ticks us Christians off is people flaunting something when they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Wow, that's amazing. That's exactly what ticks off non-Christians about evangelicals.

Treat eveyone the way you want to be and expect to be treated. Love everyone in the world as if they were your neighbor.

I agree with that. And it's because we love people that we tell them about Jesus.
Now loving your neighbor does NOT mean we're to condone sin. People think they're mutually exclusive and they're not. People who say love someone and accept any sins they commit are dangerous IMO.

jesus isn't all lovey dovey the way people want to paint him.. He does have guidelines and he does get pissed off talking about things.
He will love you if you personally choose him as your saviour, but you cannot go to a blasphemous person and try and get them to go to god, because apparantly you are in sin for doing so (paying sinners attention)...

don't shoot the messenger, I'm just reiterating what I heard, therefore I can't be implying anything.
if you want my own personal opinion to that question then just say so.

I do believe that somewhere in the bible, I can't remember which passage, but jesus explicitly says that if a person is blasphemous and goes against the rules of the lord/god you shall not (must not) pay them any attention, not even be nice to them. Ignore them and let god straighten it out (fire and brimstone?)

3) From a purely physical standpoint a penis is there to insert sperm into a vagina and henceforth carry out the activity known as sex, which henceforth is a natural phenomenon. Two penises or two vaginas cannot carry out such a function and is therefore unnatural
I think that gay people need to do some serious thinking within themselves, sure, they are having these feelings, these impulses which they cannot help from having, but a murderer, or a rapist will tell you the same thing (I am not categorising here), that they had these urges and just acted upon them.
