Let's look back on that...

goldennugget: Is it possible to be against gay marriage/homosexuality without being a bigot? (Posted on 4/4/14 at 2:14 pm)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the left and gay lobby, there is no middle ground, if you are against gay marriage and believe homosexuality is a sin, you are an anti-gay hate filled bigot who deserves ridicule at the highest extent.

Myself, as a lifelong Christian who has taken plenty of intense discipleship classes and in depth Bible Courses throughout my life and has read the Bible multiple times through, I have come to my own conclusion that there is no biblical evidence that God would support a homosexual relationship or marriage. I believe that engaging in homosexual acts is sinful behavior and not pleasing to God.

So therefore I oppose gay marriage on these grounds, and believe homosexuality is a sin. I do think that the federal government should get out of marriage, and that the states should decide how to handle marriage.

However I don't think this makes me a hateful anti-gay bigot. I don't go around persecuting gays or harassing them, or saying that they will burn in hell for being gay. I don't go up to them and judge them, or attack them. I don't engage in violent or hateful rhetoric toward gays. I just hold a belief most Christians hold that homosexuality is against God's will. And I fail to see how holding that belief makes me a violent, hateful, bigot who seeks to oppress gays.

TLDR, according to the gay lobby if you oppose same sex marriage or believe homosexuality is a sin, you are no different than the Westboro funeral picketers.

Hawkeye95: Did you know that homophobes that were shown gay porn got a chubby about 3x the rate as non homophobes

basically, if you feel anxiety around gays, you secretly want the dick.

As far as homosexuality is concerned I do not care what others do in their bedroom. It's very simple...don't tread on me and I won't tread on you. BTW, I am a Christian.

This is how I feel. I don't care if you are gay. I am not going to try to convert you away from it or anything. On the flipside I don't think you should try to impose it on kids and schools and bring it into education cirriculums. It shouldn't be promoted as normal behavior.


asurob1: Gays are marrying every day in this country.

Did it end your marriage?

Change your life?

Did your skygod send thunder and lightning down to smite those states that allow it.

Gay marriage became a big deal when people like you made it one. Most of us couldnt have given a rat's arse either way until people like you made it a talking point.

Now I'm all in for gay marriage and do everything I can to make sure they have the same opportunity as homophobes like yourself to marry the person they love.

No, we didn't cast the first stone, that was from a gay supporter, and even you in your first post of the thread started personal attacks.

Your level of FAIL is sad.
