[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know how anyone could worship a god who created a subclass of people who loved in a certain way and then told them they were not allowed to love in that way or else they would go to hell. What kind of sicko mind would come up with such torture? To create some humans a certain way and then tell them they must deny themselves a crucial part of their humanity for their entire lives? Disgusting if it were so.

Luckily the god I worship would never be so cruel. [/quote]

No human is a subclass.

Have you ever lied? Stolen anything? Done anything that you knew was wrong, but did it anyway? I have. And it was sin. God didn’t create us to throw our hands up and say “oh well. Guess I will do whatever I want.” We know when we sin, we die like to admit it. It makes is human to want to sin, as we all are sinful, but with God’s grace and strength we recognize our misdeeds/sins and try to turn away from them and do better.

I don’t think denying the urge to sin is denying my humanity. If we didn’t deny ourselves, what would we be? Slaves to emotion and greed and anger.

If a married person sees someone and says they love that person and sleeps with them, yes they did wrong. They should deny themselves and be faithful ti their spouse. If they can’t do that they should not have gotten married. [/quote]

You’re comparing harming someone through stealing and lying to love between two people?  This is why people leave religion.

And it also sounds like you must be asexual because you seem to imply you’d be able to repress your sexuality easily if you were told to. [/quote]

NP
You are talking about love? Just calling it love doesn’t make it morally right.
How about we allow and celebrate love between adults and minor children? 
How about we allow and celebrate love between humans and animals. 
That’s love right? Not hurting anyone.

Don’t hide behind love to justify your sins.[/quote]

You are comparing homosexuality to child rape and … beastiality?

Really?

Oh and BTW child rape does cause harm! 
[/quote]

Not comparing them. Just following your “no boundaries” rule about sexual relationships as long as they are based on love.

Nobody talked about child rape here btw. 
If a minor loves an adult and want to have sex with them, we should celebrate it because it’s love? Who are you to say that the child should not love?

You see how this has nothing to do with love? It’s about immoral acts. We know what they are and we set boundaries.

It’s not immoral for 2 consenting adults to have sex. [/quote]

What if they are married to other people?

What if one of them has a spouse sick with cancer?

What if one of them have an std or sti they are not disclosing to their consenting partner and unknowing spouse?

Jesus never said don’t molest children. Do we think He was silent on the matter because He was ok with child molestation?

Jesus never said don’t get high- is He ok  with drug use/abuse?

Jesus never said don’t drive drunk, does that mean drunk driving is ok?

Jesus never said don’t go into a school and shoot students and teachers, does that mean it’s ok?[/quote]
Since child marriage was common in that day, isn’t it likely that jesus was pro child rape? [/quote]
