Christian and being Gay

First, you seem you don't really have an opinion on being gay and a Christian. Your argument is mostly about how the Bible and religion* itself is "poisonous", "harmful", "demonizing", "oppressing", "ridiculous", and "bogus". You personally hate religion/Christianity and are therefore taking the opportunity to persecute, harass, and loathe Christianity and other religions faiths. Second, it seems you've misunderstood me. I wasn't saying the Bible is homophobic. You put those words in my mouth. I was merely saying that Christians consider homosexuals to be sinning based upon Lev 20:13. That doesn't make them homophobic. Just like they consider sexual abuse a sin. Does that make them agraphobic? ** No. Thirdly, the Bible doesn't give specific instructions on how to kill somebody. If your Bible gives specific instructions on how to kill somebody, then I don't know what kind of Bible your reading. Fourthly, "To support Christianity is therefore to support the hatred and ignorance that it inspires." No, not necessarily. This statement is morally wrong on many accounts, religions, and humanity for that matter. I support this website: debate.org. Does that mean I support everything everyone debates, writes, and talks about? No. But according to your logic, I do and so do you. Which means that you and I not only support religion in general, but slang-use***, gun control***, abortion***, pre-pay pumps after dark***, you are Ann Coulter***, I think Hummus is delicious***, and God knows how many other things. I support the Internet. Does that mean I support porn websites? **** White supremacies websites? **** Anti-Freedom of Speech websites? **** No. I'm afraid that your logic, in this area, is wrong. Fifthly, "The Bible is ridiculous and should not be followed seriously by anyone." This statement puzzled me. Let's say the Bible is a fantasy. But strictly speaking, the Bible is unique. There are two major divisions of the Bible: The Hebrew Scriptures and what Christians call the New Testament. It was written over a fifteen-hundred-year span by more than forty different authors from every walk of life. For example, Moses was a political leader trained in the universities of Egypt. David was a shepherd, poet, musician, and king. Joshua was military general. Nehemiah was a palace official to a pagan king. Daniel was a prime minister. Luke was a physician and historian. And Paul was a rabbi, to name just a few. It was written in different places: a desert, a dungeon, a palace, a prison, among others. It was written in three different languages: Hebrew, Greek, and a couple short sections in Aramaic, the "common language" of Jesus' day. ***** It was written on three different continents at different times. For example, David wrote in time of war and sacrifice; Solomon wrote in time of peace and prosperity. And sections of the Bible are more than just rules and laws. Some sections are proverbs, poetry, personal correspondence, memoirs, satire, biography, auto-biography, prophecy, parable, and allegory. The fact that the Bible contains all of this and has survived over hundreds of years is nothing short of a miracle and something to be taken very seriously and not as a fantasy. "At no place in the Bible does God care to mention DNA, relativity, evolution." No, you're right. But He does mention His love, compassion, understanding, joy, peace, motives, and even hilarity in the Bible. And sixthly, "Slavery", "Animal sacrifices", and "Crimes that carry the death penalty". One of your Scriptures is wrong in this topic. Deu. 12:7, 18, has nothing to do with neither animal sacrifice nor anything else in this discussion. Now, Deu. 12:11, says, "Sacrifice" not animal sacrifice. There are other things in which one can sacrifice. Such as food, time, money, clothes, jewelry, etc. Unless it says specifically, it just means to give up something important, not just animals. "Crimes that carry the death penalty" has a Scripture that isn't wrong but reading the Scripture alone is misleading. Zech. 13:3. Does in fact say, False prophets are to be killed by their own parents. The Chapter in which the verse is found in is talking about false prophets who worship false idols. ****** "Stubborn children were to be stoned, and the stoning was to be instigated by their parents. (Duet 21:18-21)". This Scripture has some holes in it. I'm getting technical, but I think there are some finer points in which you missed. These points are: A son who is stubborn, rebellious, glutton, and drunk. In conclusion, of everything I didn't reply too: "Anyone working on the Sabbath is to be killed. (Ex 35:2)", "Witches should be killed. (Ex 22:18)", "Homosexual men were to be executed. (Lev 20:13)", "Animal sacrifices: (Lev.chs 3; 7:11-21, cf.ch. 7:22-27; Ex.29:20-28; Deut.12:7, 18, 1 Sam 2:15-17)", "(Ephesians 6:5, 1 Timothy 6:1-4) St. Paul even admonishes slaves to serve their masters well-and to serve their Christian masters especially well. "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment." (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT) (Exodous.21:20-21) – Slaves can be beaten so long as they don't immediately die after the process." in Freeman's words. Jesus counter-argument all of this and that these rituals, sacrifices, etc. were to stop. It's just that SOME Christians don't believe that Jesus counter-argument all of these. Such as, Lev. 20:13. But we do not believe in killing witches nor do we believe in slaves, killing false prophets, animal sacrifice*******, and anyone working on the Sabbath is to be killed. And I'm not saying that Freeman said this either because he didn't. Sources *Religion: system of belief in, worship of a supernatural power or god. Christianity is a type of religion but Freeman specifically says religion in general. This means every belief there is. **Wikipedia.com ***Debate.com **** I will neither speak nor give direction to these websites. And strongly advise you NOT to view them. Women are to be respected and treated equal. We are all equal no matter race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, etc. I'm a firm believer in the Freedom of Speech. ***** W.F.

Heb. 9:26, "Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself."
