Ideally love should not be based on what gender someone is I don't understand how you can show understanding of that fact and then completely disregard it for the sake of staying Christian. | ||

I intended to keep posting on this forum, I just wanted my previous posts deleted and start a new account so that people would stop bringing them up. I was annoyed because someone had collected a bunch of posts I'd made and sent them to a moderator (the second time it's happened), I don't know exactly what the situation was but I'm guessing it was an attempt to make it look like I had posted them recently so that I'd get banned. | ||

I don't understand how you can show understanding of that fact and then completely disregard it for the sake of staying Christian. Do you know what Christianity is about? It's not all focused on sex. It's more about loving God and loving your neighbour, and while it's not necessary to know God to love your neighbour, it's definitely more emphasised when you are a Christian (eg. you must love your neighbour even if they're your enemy, whereas generally non-Christians will say you can make an exception for not loving yourr neighbour if they are your enemy because they don't have a "Higher Authority" to be accountable to). You have to give up some things, for something greater. And if you even read my post you'd realise I wasn't judging homosexuality, I am merely saying I believe it is a sin based on what the Bible says. I could lie and say "I believe the Bible says homosexuality is OK" and ignore all the verses that say it's a sin. I didn't write it, if I wrote it I'd make homosexuality OK. But I'd probably screw up a whole bunch of other parts, so I'll trust God has it right. The fact that I'm not attracted to men helps me from refraining from it so I can't speak on behalf of homosexual Christians. Edit: And you know, some countries believe it's OK to kill people if they do something really bad (e.g. US death penalty), and others (like our country) think it's wrong no matter what they've done. Does that mean someone who's family member was not a victim of a crime has no right to speak out against the death penalty, because they don't know what it's like to have their family member murdered? | ||

In fact, did you even read my post at all, or just assumed I was against homosexuality because of the fact that I am a Christian and you didn't go beyond reading the title? What you just wrote was exactly what I addressed in my post, fool. | ||

What you just wrote was exactly what I addressed in my post, fool. So my conclusion, based on my own non-experience, is that homosexuality is wrong and we ought to refrain. Do you read what you write? BASED ON YOUR OWN NON-EXPERIENCE? If that isn't an ill-educated point of view, there's no such thing. In fact, that's the dictionary meaning of an ill-educated point of view. If I wanted that, I could just read the bible. Edit: I'm editing in an insult because you saw fit to. Idiot. | ||

I made the point very clear that I would probably have different views if I was a homosexual. Like the example I gave above, if I'd never had a family member murdered before, does that make it so that I have no right to speak out against the death penalty, with the condition that my point of view would probably be different if had had someone I knew killed by a murderer? Man you're ignorant. It's pathetic you have to quote my posts out of context in order to win the argument. | ||

If you bothered to post beyond the very first sentence of my conclusion, you would see that the very next sentence says BUT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE... "If tomorrow for some reason I wake up and I'm in a new world, where homosexuals produce offspring, and being hetereosexual is a sin, but I still retained my own feelings for the opposite gender, would I still be a Christian? I don't know. I'd like to think that I could say, Christianity is more than sex, and if that is what I have to give up to be a child of God, I would still do it because I care about the other aspects of Christianity, such as caring for the poor, more than my own sexual desires. But then again, maybe I would be thinking, I'd rather have sex with women and help poor people and not know God, than know God and abstain from relationships." Idiot. | ||

And here you go trying to change the topic into something else because you realise you wrote absolute crap that couldn't stand up to the argument. The classic loser's maneuver in exiting a debate without looking like you lost - change the topic and ignore rebutting the argument, claiming it's "not worth taking the bait". | ||

"So I think every Christian who expects a homosexual to be a Christian and refrain from their sexual desires ought also make a vow never to have a partner for the rest of their lives just to see how hard it can be and how it's not as simple as that." "I believe it's a decision each person must make depending on where their priorities lie." "I don't really know what my stance on homosexuality is." "I don't know what it's like 'cos I'm not a homosexual." "If tomorrow for some reason I wake up and I'm in a new world, where homosexuals produce offspring, and being hetereosexual is a sin, but I still retained my own feelings for the opposite gender, would I still be a Christian? I don't know... maybe I would be thinking, I'd rather have sex with women and help poor people and not know God, than know God and abstain from relationships." How bloody obvious do I have to make it? | ||

You're just going to have to get re-nuked next month. I guess I just have to remind myself that I'm arguing with some immature people who take one sentence from a post for the sake of making a prejudiced argument out of it, pretending the rest of the post didn't say anything to address it. | ||

Bye! I'm going to argue back simply to make you want to kick me in the teeth but being unable to. I didn't ask anyone to prove me wrong, what a strawman. Wow, you can point out that because the majority of people believe something is wrong, the minority must be wrong? Nerds are so uncool. I better not hang out with them 'cos it'll affect my reputation as a jock. Edit: LOL OK so you were taking the piss. Good post  | ||
