^^ IMHO, he is intentionally playing mind games. Seen similar personas in other forums where the person never actually says anything of substance, just posts vague\cryptic messages. There are however, real people who are so on the fringe nobody can make sense of them, even those who are closest...

I suggest you do more research on the topic. Homosexuality is a sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality, neither define a person's sexual behavior. Sexual behavior is are the activities people do that evolve sex. You do bring up an interesting point which is a common disagreement within...

You're confusing behavior with sexual behavior with sexual orientation. There is a clear separation between sexual attraction and sexual behavior. What two consenting adults do is not disorder according the the DSM IV. Investigate the difference between the two. If you wish to consider sexual...

KCKID, Not too long ago I worked with a fundamentalist Christian, he truly had the Bible memorized, and could quote pretty much all of it from memory. He believed men having sex with men was evil and perverted, but said lesbian sex was OK because there was nothing specific in the bible that...

It is simply your religious belief, others are equally allowed to disagree and believe God fully supports all sexual orientations. Within your religious beliefs you are fully entitled to believe as you like. Others are entitled worship God in their own way, and decide for themselves who they...

The Scriptures are a tool to help people, but I believe God expects each person to take full responsibility for their individuals beliefs and not simply point to the scriptures as the solo justification. If all that can be provided is a reference to the bible as proof, that simply is not enough...

What I believe is between me and God, that is what is most important. How I treat others is an expression of what I beleive. I have no doubts on this issue and can feel God standing with me despite the doubts others may have.

That is simply your belief, I believe otherwise. As long as laws don't limit the freedom of others to live full lives, I have no concerns what people choose to believe, or not believe.

Where I live, in the State of Washington, people of the same sex can be legally married, thus as a married couple they are not fornicating.

Percentages is not a factor in what is acceptable. You're free to believe as you like, God gave you, and everyone else that ability. What is important is that a minority group are not denied the right to be themselves because some in the majority will not accept them for who they are. God made...

Irregardless of anyone's religion, its a personal problem for those who struggle with accepting homosexuality along side heterosexuality as being part of the human condition. Really not any different if we go back decades and centuries where various "abominations" according to the bible were...

Both OT and NT. Law makers, judges, elected officials and everyone who works for the government (ie Teachers) would be expected to adhere the teachings of the bible. Those who failed to do so would be removed either through elections or required to resign from their jobs. For those who work...

Like with any topic, there are many others that agree with minority than there appears, but they know to speak out in support of the minority view point means they too will get criticized and attacked, so they prefer to be supportive in other ways, just not as vocal about it. I thank them for...

My grandmother will be 105 years old next month, and she been a Christian all of her life; as far as I know never has missed Sunday church for the past 75 years. She reads the bible every morning and every night. For a long time she rejected homosexuality because that is what she was taught to...

I am disagreeing with you, not trying to impose my view point on anyone, there is a difference. Disagreement is acceptable and is pretty common within the Christian community, and throughout the history of Christianity, which is why Christianity has branched out into various different religions...

Can you clarify further as what significance this has to this topic of discussion?

Its only a problem from your perspective. It would be a problem if I were harming people or trying to impose my beliefs on others, but I'm not. Simply disagreeing is not a problem, its just a disagreement. People disagree a lot about as what GOD wants, and each side believes they are right. You...

Its only a sin for those who who choose to believe it is, and that is their choice. It is not a belief or choice that should be forced upon others in the form of laws or discrimination.

I understand this works for you, but it does not for me. And I understand from your perspective there is no room for any other options than what is written; very black and white. What you are suggesting is unquestionable literal acceptance of every word that is in The Bible. If for example, as...

KCKID, I am curious what are some explanations given that allow well intended Christians to over look these harsh punishments and contradictions? But, yeah those are examples of why I have chosen to be a Christian based on principles of acceptance, and I seek to know God through experiencing...
