How childish.
I'm 65 - - I see today the results in my 10 year old granddaughters behavior and right to be anything she wants - - - from the dedicated efforts and heartbreaks of women who came before her.
Gays are still fighting for that right. To be gay/lesbian and flippant about Equal Rights is really an insult. IMO

That is what you don't seem to get. You can not make people believe anything
Let's do this again. It is not about belief.
It is about Equal Rights.

Well just in case you didn't know, a pedophile is not necessarily a child molester, and vice versa. The hatred of pedophiles is exactly the same as the hatred of gay people used to get some years ago.

Not condoning or approving homosexual behavior does not make one a homophobe.

No - - I'm old enough to know Right.
I'm old enough to know pathetic prejudices and warped ideologies that have no place in this modern world.

.....Anyway,to whomever may be wondering,just let me set the record straight that I do not particularly dislike gays.Really.I don't.
REGARDLESS,I see no reason to continue this little debate when the only responses I seem to get are typical knee-jerk arguments involving all emotion and no logic.
That usually comes from those on the loosing end of the argument

Did you actually bother to read Annee's posts?
Just as I said:All emotion and no logic.Why bother?

Modern world, your being naive, ... There is no, getting through to people such as yourself... your political correctness overshadows your ability to think rationally. When I was younger I Thought like you, but once out in the "Modern World" I grew up fast, There is nothing modern about this world, it is still violent and brutal...

I understand your concern at being hated by others especially Christians. Please remember not everyone who quotes the Bible is someon who lives by it. I would also like you to consider God saves people through the grace provided by the death of His Son and even though we are born anew, we are far from perfect and this acceptance of Jesus is only the beginning of a long walk in which we imperfect followers must learn to walk in His ways.
Sometimes younger Christians in their zeal will read much Scripture, but have not leanred to apply it through proper reflection and practicing of the love God has extended to and made available to us. Some Christians after accepting the gift of God's grace do not take the steps necessary to grow in the love of Jesus for all sinners and settle for a shallow version of Christianity, which they will answer for in time. These may often take a special satisfaction in bashing anyone or anything they do not like, but such is life for shallow people of all walks. Each of these people or even groups should be dealt with personally and individually. Christians like myself should and do condemn their ideaology and their words.
However, even followers of Jesus who walk in His love must. "hate the sin, but love the sinner". The following two concepts from the Bible "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Rom 3:23 and the other one is "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life" Rom 6:23. Even a heterosexual man or woman having sex without being married is condemned by scripture and even if it were not for that all of us still commit many other sins for which we would /will ultimately be rejected.
The point is a homo or hetero sexual sinner is dead without God in our belief, but we are commanded to love all sinners, but also to conemn all sin for what it is. I love homosexual people just as much as anyone else and have had close relationships with some. Where I do have a problem is for a group of any kind which represents about 2% of the population trying to change laws instituted by our founders for their own special intrerest, and being funded by people like George Soros with millions of dollars so that he can see America destroyed including the very special interests he funds. Whenever a small group overturns the laws of the larger group there is only destruction that follows.
So in conclusion, I love all sinners, and hate and have forsaken all sin, but I will not let any special interest group change this Counrty from one founded on Christian principles to one based on selfish desires. I will seek to keep my country clean through voting and I will expose and depose congessman and judges who try to circumvent our constitution for disregarding their oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
God bless these words and those reading them, I confess to being saved from some very dark places and sexual sins which would have embarrased those living in Sodom and Gomorrah, therefore I understand the subject like few others. I wish all Christians to love all sinners and to just plant seeds of His Word for the Holy Spirit to water. Hate helps no one. We Christians will all be judged for our service, try act accordingly.
