Opinion on Homosexuality

[rlrose328]

That hippie Jesus and all his talk of love - I get the impression that if he were real, he would vomit on hatred and desires to coerce others to your will.  That character seemed to think people should come to him willingly not because the hounds of god were nipping at their heels in hatred.

I am an atheist. I tried my luck with Christianity, but couldn't find it was right for me. And I believe everyone should believe what ever they want to. People shouldn't tell others how to think. Everyone has their own feelings and opinions and they should be able to express them. Not only that, in America (sorry if this does not apply to all) we have the freedom of religion. But anyway, I got talking about this because of a text message I got. Someone tried to insult me by calling me gay, and I asked if they had a problem with it. This hardcore christian then replied with the following:
"I have a problem with you. So stop texting me. And yes gay sex is nasty and God spits on anyone who is gay. read the bible if you don't believe me. Now i..."
I decided to post this because I'm immature, and homosexuality ties to Christianity through the bible. Now I completely disagree with what she said, I believe that's ignorance at its worst. Any opinions?

I'm a Christian, and I believe homosexuality is a curse from Satan.

Just imagine if the very first two living species (male and female) were not attracted to each other? I think we would have a huge problem!!

Homosexuality + no reproductive system = no origin of life.

you people who support homosexuality better think about that one!

Do you really care that much what other people do with their own lives? You are religious so in your mind you are going to heaven. What do you care what other people do? Surely it is their choice to go to hell....

Stop whining and let people do with their lives what they wish.

Or do you prefer to be thought of as a bigot?

Besides, perhaps god created or allows homosexuality for purposes of population control.  You people who don't support homosexuality better think about that one. Next.

Hi, and let me correct you on something. God does not allow homosexuality! Do you know how I know? Here, let me help you out..

"Man SHALL NOT lay with a man, and a woman SHALL NOT lay with a woman!"

I'm sorry, but God vomits at homosexuality..

I projectile vomit on religious lunatics.

Everyone take a step back.  Way back.  Stop anthropomorphizing humanity.  

At the cutting edge of Darwinism, there's really no difference between a computer virus and a biological virus, with human consciousness somewhere in between.  -H+ Magazine

The universe is composed of recombinant information.  Be it, weather patterns, gravitational patters, or the interactions of proteins, the only thing that makes it unique is that it has the ability to interact with the universe in such a way that it's existence continues, or something like it or almost like it is produced that can also survive.  Let's bring this home.

Homosexuality is a moot point.  Humanity is a moot point.  I've heard the argument that if everyone were homosexual then the human species would go extinct.  My answer:  so what?  Quarks, atoms, matter, the periodic table, planets, and biological life (among other things), are all quirks of the universe as we know it.  Suppose the entire universe as we know it is converted to higher states of energy and there's not one atom left connected to another.  From there, the universe through natural interactions and large amounts of time would restructure itself into something radically different from what we know now, but following the same basic principle: recombinant information; the perpetuation of patterns.

Of course from here, we could get into a lot of messy philosophy concerning free will, but that's another thread.

On that note, I don't care what homosexuals do because I'm not them and, in the end, it really doesn't matter.  If xtians are really trying to save them from an eternity in a giant torture chamber, you'd think they could at least be nice about it and bugger off when they're turned down.

I'm not going to tell anyone that homosexuality is wrong, but I believe that a woman is the missing part of the man and vice versa. It's probably because I'm not gay, but I couldn't imagine what it would be like to spend the rest of my life with another man. I guess it's just what kind of world you want to live in.

I think that's probably precisely why you couldn't imagine it.

That's pretty presumptive.  You're saying that approximately 12,000,000 people in the United States alone are incomplete because they're gay.

I imagine there would be less arguments, and more drinking+sports.

Sounds tempting.

I can. I just wouldn't be driven to put my penis in his anus, or vice-versa (not that that is the definition of being gay but you get my point). Apart from living a life being rather sexually unfulfilled, i'd be rather happy in the company of another man. Better that than being alone for the rest of my days. This is the age of the broseph, after all.

Everyone deserves equal treatment. How can anyone claim what is right and wrong? Homosexuality is nothing to be ashamed of. If you are in love with another man that's fine by me. If a woman is involved with another woman that's fine by me. I honestly don't see what's so wrong and hideous about it.

Wow this is an old post. I only joined thsi to make this post, not thinking anyone would view it let alone comment on it. Cool. I kinds of think i should've cooled down before going to this extent. Umm... I'm back!

I have no problem whatsoever with homosexuality.

I have no problem with polygamy either.

Neither am I bothered by incest.

What any number of consenting adults want to put in each other, in privacy, is of no concern to me.

[disposablechild]

Is anyone else mildly concerned that this hit and run poster one and only post on this forum is a "hot topic" (I did air quotes in the rw too ). I also noticed that the first thing he did was qualify his first post's first sentence by stating that hes an atheist. I might just be jaded from so many loaded questions, innocent quizes, and "hit and runs" over the years but something about the OP rings false with me. Apologies ahead of time if your real.

yes that was a hasty post months ago and i forgot about it. i came back and saw all the replies and was amazed. hey, i'm here to stay.

I agree. people who hate homosexuals 95% of the time are really ignorant. I have a few gay friends and they are really cool guys. Well i guess as long as there are ignorant people some minority has to be hated upon -.-
