Your opinion on homosexuality?

Leviticus 18:22 read it

Again, it's a fairy tale from a fiction book, why are you bringing it up? Go watch star trek next generation episode 5.

Leviticus 18:22 read it

And with a male, thou shalt not lie down in

a woman's bed; it is an abomination.

Nope, no ban on homosexuality here.

Also, Leviticus 18:23 says that "But two chicks is totally hot."

For you bible believers, do you stone your children to death when they misbehave? If not, why not? Before you bring up jesus dying for our sins, jesus specifically scolded people for not following that rule in particular. So do tell.

Personally I'm a fan of Matthew 6:1-6

“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. ut when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Actually, Jesus prevented the stoning of an adulteress by saying, "Let ye who is sinless among you cast the first stone".

9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[c] your own traditions! 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[d] and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[e] 11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

Homosexuality is fine, people who say other wise are idiots.
Why should it matter who loves who? it is no ones choice except the people who are in love.
I a firm believer in the JSM Harm Principle, if there is no inflicted violence and consent then the state has noe right to interfere with personnal affaurs.
No one can force others to follow a certain path, everyone has a choice, and it is their choice to make.
Any one who does not allow people to follow their own path is standing in the way of human progress.

I do not even think there is any logical argument against homosexuality.

[Person012345]

Ok, so it doesn't say stoning, my memory failed me there. But "put to death" anyway.

[Wazkyraque]

Leviticus 18:22 read it

That's the same ridiculous law book that says you can't eat shellfish, or wear mixed fabric; or you should be killed, though I may be wrong about this last part about being killed for it; and it most notably says: "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves".

Not really a reliable argument.

If they're members of the species homo sapiens, then they get the same rights as everyone else. It's the only way that makes sense.

Far too narrow. If they are intelligent/sapient/sentient/whatever else-ient and/or request rights, they get them.

Gay people should have all the same rights as straight people.

Marriage is not for the state to decide. It's for the church.

[Ceannairceach]

No. It. Is. Not.

Marriage is a STATE FUNCTION, and is thereby controlled by the government, at least in the case of the United States of America and many other Western nations.

It's got fuck all to do with the church. There are exactly two people involved in a decision to enter into a monogamous marriage.

What about in countries where there is no state church, such as Turkey, or the state religion does not have a centralised organising body, such as Thailand?

Homosexuals have every right to be together. The law should grant them the same rights as heterosexuals independently of what any sector of society might say.

Marriage belongs to the LAW. The churches can hold whatever wedding ceremonies they do or do not want to perform, but they have no right whatsoever to interfere with marriage. Nor does one church have a right to interfere with wedding ceremonies which other churches are willing to perform.

My parents were married by a justice of the peace with no church involvement; in large sections of America this was the norm at the time. It is only in recent times that the Goddamned Christians have had the fucking nerve to attack other people's marriages. It is none of your business. Go away.

[Social]

Homosexuals should have the same rights as anyone. Anyway,come on people! Homosexuality was only talked about almost like twice in the Bible! Love is Love. If you love someone, marry them. And everyone just think about this for a second. What if you could not marry someone you loved with all your heart because you were straight?

Old bible traditions are distinguished to all who have an argument as stupid as this!

Even though your church "argument" has been repeatedly beaten before, in previous threads, and in this one as well, I'll play along. Simple question: Says who?

Why do you hate the baby Jesus?

I don't think you know what distinguished means.
