The Bible doesn't actually say anything about homosexuality when you take into account the culture, time, and people it was written for. The verses people claim are about gayness are basically translation errors. God doesn't make mistakes and He doesn't make people to be hated or to suffer. God Believes in Love is a beautiful resource.

..The bible does say, however, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." So if you're really going to consider speaking out about what you think is a sin, please think twice before you do.

(Sorry if I seem harsh, I just really wanted to say that)

but the bible says gay is a sin.

Oh. You're one of those people.

In those same passages, the Bible condemns getting tattoos, eating pork, putting more than one type of grass in the same lawn, and freaking wearing different kinds of fabrics at the same time. Those passages also involve perfectly legal practices such as stoning a newlywed woman to death if her parents couldn't prove she was a virgin. So, what, you're just allowed to pick and choose passages to follow?

But that really doesn't matter, when you realize that saying the Bible condemns all homosexuality is taking it way out of context. What Paul was writing about was the Roman culture, which was full of essentially rape between men and their male slaves. There was literally no concept of consensual homosexuality at that time. How can something that doesn't exist be a sin?

The Bible is not a hard-and-fast rulebook for how to behave. Society changes, and so do the rules.

stop attacking my religion please. ths makes me uncomfortable. i know people in my religion have done horrible things but i just like to beliee in a god is that harmful?

No one is attacking your religion. I believe in God- I'm Christian. I'm also bi. We're attacking the people who are using religion as an excuse to hate on and oppress people that they don't like.

A Church can turn you down if they don't want to marry a gay couple. It's their right if it goes against their religion.

Of course that's in a Church's right. Their entire point is religion. I don't like it, but I understand it. But you know what's entire point isn't religion? Literally every other business. But now, because of this law, if I were in Indiana I could be refused a burger, the use of a taxi, anything. At least, if it weren't for what I posted last about brietbart.com.

You know, America is supposed to have this thing called separation of church and state. Giving religions exceptions to any laws is not that.

but the bible says gay is a sin.
