1. It is some of God's followers that don't like Gays
Edited on Wed Feb-28-07 05:37 PM by cosmik debris
God hasn't expressed an opinion on this.

9. I've read the bible and too me, it seemed that it was anti-gay UNLESS you took it out of context.
To be sure, I've been told that the anti-gay parts are metaphorical...metaphorical for what, I don't freakin know but thats what I've told. Its like you have too turn it upside down and read it backwards to "get a proper understanding of the text". Anything that convulted is just not worth my time, I think.

6. Well if they are gay gentiles, God doesn't mind
But gay Jews eating shell fish is a no no.

10. Isn't it possible that god hates gays?
Isn't it possible that god hates straights too. I don't really understand why believers are so sure that god is this really good being/force. How does anybody make ANY concrete statements about the nature of god. Is it a coincedence that god reflects the beliefs of the person who believes in him?

NOBODY ever says "I disagree with god on this point...." because god always seems to think and believe whatever the believer finds good/important.
