You are here to love your fellow man.
You are here to love your fellow man, as difficult and as impossible as that might seem to you. This is the challenge. This is all there is.
No one has a right to squelch, silence, or forbid this. That is a sin against the spirit. The spirit of everyman has been placed here on earth and is free to enjoy life (as long as it harms no one else) and not destroy it.
The same people who say that we can now eat pork because that covenant, also want to hold others to that covenant for being gay. Jesus accepted the people that the pharisees condemned. Drop the OT # already.

Say what you will, but homosexually is an unnatural act. Everyone knows this. Its no wonder that the vast majority of homosexuals lead depraved lifestyles, over indulging in sex and drugs. It must be tough being an abomination.
Over indulging in sex? Straight people have and desire just as much sex as gay people do. Have you ever seen "The Hills"? LOL.
And yes of course there is a lot of depression in being gay. I'm sure you would get depressed too if you had people running around telling you that you were an abomination for the way you were born. Duhhhh.

Isn't that Jesus' logic and reasoning, and what Christianity is supposedly based on?
There's a difference between using thoughtful discernment to dictate the paths you want to take for your own life, or when a friend asks for advice, what you give them... and using judgement to decide who's a "dirty sinner" that can't get into heaven after they die. You'd have to have some godlike omniscience to make a statement like that. Have you ever loitered by the gates of heaven to see who gets in & who doesn't? Who's to say, even if homosexuality in God's eyes isn't healthy for the human race, it won't be forgiven at the gates of heaven, if such a place exists?
What happened to "judge not, lest thee be judged thyself?" In Christianity, doesn't Christ alone "Judge the quick and the dead"?
I thought these 2 statements were general understandings in the Christian community; am I wrong? Saying someone won't be retiring to "club heaven" in their post-incarnatory years sounds like a gavel-slamming judgment to me.

But then we realise that to make a human, another human besides yourself, since you are already here. You are required by the grand architect of the universe/creator to have a male and a female

It's too bad that lots of people believe them, follow them, kill for them and worse.
I particularly find it amusing how it's all left up to 'god' to sort everything out. Man can't discriminate, as that's god's job. Yeah, right... That's a great way to avoid responsibility for his idiotic, homophobic comments.

But how exactly is it HEAVEN for a Gay person if they disallow Anal Sex when you get there anyway?
Being silly but it's also a serious question, if your Gay that wouldn't exactly be your idea of "heaven" now would it?
Maybe One Man's Heaven really is another Man's Hell
So by the nature of it... if you wanted to punish a gay person.... you would send them to heaven no?

Are they sterile because they chose to be that way or is it a condition of their physicality?
