The Bible tells us what God considers to be sins. Things like not honoring our fathers and mothers, things like not giving to the poor, things like yes, homosexuality.
Now, the way I look at it, those are God's way of telling us how we should live, as INDIVIDUALS. It is all a PERSONAL message from God. It HAS to be personal, because Jesus said we shouldn't judge others. That is HIS job. Jesus said, "He who is without sin, cast the first stone."
So society has NO business judging anyone whose sins do no harm to others. Murderer, thieves, rapists and the like must be kept from harming others, but those who fail to honor their parents or give to the poor, or happen to love people of the same sex, are harming no one so it is our DUTY, given what Jesus said about not judging, to live and let live. In other words, WE are to accept everyone and love them, and God is to judge them for their sins.
Pretty simple, huh?

Yes it is, O.
In theory.
In actuality, most christians are some of the stone-casting-est futhermuckers ever to exist.
OK, I'm not referring to you specifically-maybe you're different in that respect-in which case you're probably following the letter of the manual closer than most, and definitely closer than BeeG is 'cause he's seriously one judgemental sonuvabithc.
Of course we all know that BeeG is only trying to convince everyone (and indirectly, his god) that he has seen the error of his ways and is now righteously steppin' and fetchin' to make up brownie points before he kicks the proverbial bucket in hopes that a lifetime of being a chooch won't get him sent to the basement for eternity.
He calls g ay men an abomination-but any one of the g ay men I've ever known seem to have higher ethical standards than he apparently does.
Every element of society has it's unethical types. Even christians, and I think those are the ones BeeG wants to use as the rule rather thn the exception.
BeeG constantly divides by zero.
After all this time-It still does not compute.
I think the homosexual agenda is no different than mine or anyone else's.
Live and enjoy life the best ya can. They just prefer, in one aspect to do it differently than straights do.
Either way it's no concern of mine.
It IS kinda amusing watching BeeG spin and jabber like Taz on the subject, tho.
