Oh can I make a really cool statement about the starting post?
Okay, lets say we stick all the gay people in jail (I'm not saying being gay is wrong I'm just making a point), that is removing a huge sector of the working population. Plus, you go to jail, you interact with realy criminals, possibly get raped, learn possible criminal behaviours, if you every get out, you're going to be very angry, and possibly actually become an offender.

Show me where. I know several verses people use that are misinterpreted or obviously misued. You need to take it in context, and not single out any one verse. You need to look at the language it was originally written in, and not trust blindly your bibles at home. Show me these verses.

Actually Shade, I think it does say somewhere in the bible that it is wrong. I could be wrong though, but the bible says a lot of things that were only put in there because of cultural differences, so its hard to diferintiate.

Ok Jaymeister, that is exactly why we, as christians, dont believe it is right for people to be gay, but we dont HATE them for being that way, it's not our right to judge them, it's God's right....and He will judge them on judgement day.
You say it's not right to judge, but to me it seems that you are judging homosexuals in all. Why do you not put into action what you say?

Right, the whole "hate the sin, not the sinner" thing. The problem is this: you may claim not to hate the sinner, but you still are. It's impossible to hate what a person does yet avoid hating the person. Try the example of a child molester. It's nearly impossible to avoid hating the person, even though it's their actions that (according to you) should be hated. You may claim not to judge, but it's impossible not to.
Anyways, this still rests on the idea that homosexuality is indeed a sin, which the Bible is anything but clear on. I've read the verses, but they seem to be forbidding certain circumstances of homosexuality, not homosexuality in general. I mean "man lying with another man as with a woman"? What does that even mean? It can be interpreted many, many different ways.

everyone is entitled to there own opinions, however close minded they are. how are we suppost to come together and beat the follies of the world with people spreading such hate! homosexuality should be embraced. i have had many homosexual friends throught the years and not one was a bad person. and the they should all be put in jail part? thats just ignorence. learn to love everyone as your equal, as a brother or sister, peace.

you have to admit however, that heresay isn't entirely her fault. I doubt there is a real formulated reason as to WHY she doesn't believe we should recieve the same protection guaranteed to us by the Constitution. The good thing abou this is that "An arguement is stripped of its power, its eloquence and its meaning when left with no ideals." We don't have to worry, because PrincessMonica12's article has no pwer to it when it's "just NOT RIGHT!"

People should have the right to love whom ever they want to no matter the sex. My aunt and her life mate had to go to denver to get married and that is wrong. They are now pregnant by artificial insemination, they are going to be wonderful parents. Anyone who thinks that gay couples wont be good parents and yet straight couples will are completely wrong. My mom is straight and my biological father was a complete loser, and her new husband is not the best guy either. I dont see how it is wrong to be gay that would be like me saying its wrong to be straight. You, are one messed up person to think that...
its great that ur religious and all and i respect that but really... theres something called EVOLUTION. did u kno that there were somethings called DINOSAURS and HUMANS or HOMOSAPIENS came from ape-like creatures that evolved over time. mamals werent around for aloooong time. what kind of ignorant person are u????
are u gonna say that the HALOCAUST never happened.. oh wait.... white people never enslaved AFRICAN AMERICANS!!!!!!
that comment sounded so biggest and prejudist and very messed up.
u dont support free love..... so u dont support life.

Maybe. But here's a question that few people address. When Cain was exiled, where did he go? How did he marry? To whom did he travel? The people he visited had already been established. Sure humans lived a long time back then, but god, not that long. Also, his was the first murder, and murder was established early in human history. *strokes chin* Hmm?
