Why is one sin a sin but the other sin is a right?

I've been listening to people’s views about gays and though I'm not one I feel that God loves them just as much as anyone else. I was always taught not to judge people.(I don't always follow that rule but I was taught it.) I was wondering why it was wrong to be gay but it's ok to make gays feel uncomfortable or even like outcasts. Why is it ok to judge and condemn people because of their lifestyles and make their lives miserable? Why is that sin so great 9in people's minds) that God can't forgive it but we are taught that God can forgive anything? Do you know the answer?

 

Love the sinner. Hate the sin.

 

I do not believe in religion. Too many hypocrites.

 

At my church we were taught that ONLY homosexuals can get into heaven - so we all had to perform a homosexual act with the priest if we wanted to get past the Pearly Gates.

 

great question,if you get a decent response,let me know

 

I will.

 

it's not right to make people feel uncomfortable or to harass people. it's a sin. but forgivable, just like all the others. i tell you what, though, i'd rather have a philandering homosexual in my home than a hater. but to people sin is relative, to god, they're all the same. for my part, there's a few laws in the old testament that seriously make no sense whatsoever and so i wonder how much of it is inspired and how much of it is just some asshole making illegal something that he personally finds inconvenient.

 

Here's my take...We all have something in our lives not everyone will agree with. I have friends that are gay/bi and I love them just the same. I don't think it is up to me to judge them. The only judging that I do is based on how they treat me.

I do believe in God. I believe God would not want me to treat anyone any differently no matter how they live their lives. I will leave the judging up to HIM and worry about myself. (that include my boys too)

That sounds good to me.
In an unrelated note: Did anyone notice the ad at the top of the page? John Belushi is next to this really big pair of breast.(not that he would have minded)

 

Haha I noticed those breast. In fact it is hard not to notice them. (shhh, I wouldn't mind having a pair like that)

 

I bet you John would be proud lol.

 

Because religious fundamentalists are delusional.

They can "love me" and "hate my sin" all they want, I don't need their condescending sympathy, attempts at change, forgiveness, tolerance, or misunderstanding. People just really need to chill out on gay issues...try for once to put themselves in the other person's shoes.

(I tried that, to put myself in the right-wing Christian shoes, but got bored too quickly )

 

I would be. LOL!!!!

 

i think that god created all of us, even homosexuals. i didn't wake up one day and decide to be straight, and i suspect that most gay people didn't wake up one day and make a decision either. we are who we are, and if god created us that way, who is anyone to question it?


i don't get wierd religious fundamentalists at all. i keep wanting to go to church, but i can't find one that's liberal enough, lol.

 

What is this thing: "sin?"

I don't believe it exists.
