Paul is speaking of temple prostitution and orgies in worshiping the goddess Diana. That passage in no way refers to a loving same-sex relationship. I've earnestly studied the scriptures commonly used to denounce homosexuality, including I Cor and Timothy, they are not at all about loving, same-sex relationships. When studying scripture, it's important to study it from the standpoint of the original language it was written in, the culture surrounding the people it was written to, the context surrounding the passage and the purpose for which it was written by the inspired author. Thanks for reading. Peace. Big Dog,

The fact is, I have nothing against gay people I just think their behavior is a sin. However, I don't think they should be allowed to marry. Marriage is between one man and one woman and has been for thousands of years. That is like asking why God allows children to die or get cancer.

I believe in God and I believe he died for me. But let me ask you this. If God loves us so much and he "knows everything" then why do gay people exist? I know that sin was born into this world and man caused it. I just don't understand why God would punish someone for loving someone of the same gender. What do you say to this? I have a friend who believes he is not saved because he has gay feelings. He is active in church, prays daily and is one of the most awesome, caring friends I've ever met. I asked him how it all began and he said that he had his first gay feeling at the age of 8. His father took him to the men's room in a public resteraunt and that's how it started. He never dated anyone because he knew it was wrong. It consumed him day and night. He tried so hard to be what you preach. His family even sat him down in a circle and "prayed his gayness away". He is so confused and afraid to be himself that it caused him his sanity. I just don't understand how a loving god like our god could punish someone like jim for feeling that way. He is such a good person. He tries so hard but he's still not in his own skin. I also almost lost my uncle to this same kind of problem. He went to church and was told it was immoraly wrong to be a gay and that gays would burn in hell. We found him not to long after he started going to church with an empty pill bottle on his bed in a coma. People like you make me ashamed to be a Christian. I will always love everyone just as Jesus loved us. It is HIS place to deal with his children. Not yours. These are good people. People who love as you and I do. There is nothing wrong with that in my book. Look, I am a Christian. I believe in God and I believe he died for me. But let me ask you this.

They can be full on Village People Gay for all we care, just leave OUR traditions alone. we gave the fruitcakes "Same Sex Unions" which grant the same benefits as far as the state is concerned, as marriage. SO why is "Marriage" necessary? So they can take the next step, that step involves "Normalizing" deviant sexual behavior, and calling it "natural" and requiring Churches to perform a marriage NOT recognized by GOD. That will create WAY more problems than these little piss ant protests by faggots... We are the tolerant ones, we don’t give a damn if they are gay or not.

Don’t they see they hypocrisy in their own statements. I assume they don’t, maybe they do and they just don’t care. I find that conservatives in general are the tolerant ones; just because I disagree with a point of view and I think it is abhorrent, doesn’t mean that we can’t be civil. “can’t we all just get along” I should be accustomed to it by now, but I am constantly amazed at how we are told that we need to be more tolerant, but those same critics will not tolerate our points of view.
