It's a Choice.....Oh Really?

[Ceannairceach]

Not from the Bible, no.

I'm sure there's SOMETHING in there about that.

Something about homosexuals not inheriting the kingdom of heaven, and in the OT they outright say to kill them...

So, if you'd be so kind, please kill me with a .44. As your bible commands.

Torture, death, starvation, I think I would rather live in heaven, where the streets are made of gold.

I'm reminded of a joke:

Saint Peter is leading a tour group through heaven. He passes by several large, golden houses. He points to one and says "That's where the Hindu's live." He passes by another and says the same for gays. Another for atheists. Another for Pagans. This continues for several minutes until he gets to three large houses. He tells the group to stay quiet as the tip toe past. A woman in the group asks, "Why do we have to be quiet?" Peter says, "Those are Abrahams followers. They think they're alone here."

I've heard a similar joke. A guy dies and goes to Heaven, and Saint Peter shows him around. They come across a huge Wall, and the man ask about the Wall "Oh, that's for the Southern Baptist, they think they're the only one who made it to Heaven."

I know better than people who have been intimidated into making it not a disease.
Nowhere it was accepted by its own accord - everywhere its acceptance was mandated by places such as the EU.
Another bit of western decadence we don't want to accept as normal

Intimidated by who? The Gay Mafia?
If by 'nowhere' you mean 'more or less every western country' then yes. And the EU is still Democratic to an extent, dear.

Western Decadence. Now theres a blast from the past.
The thing is, dear, you're losing this war. Attitudes are changing (albiet slowly) as the moral zeitgeist progresses. In all probability, within thirty to fifty years you'll have caught up and the vast majority of you will think it's perfectly normal. Which it is.

The EU is Franco- and Germanocratic.
and though you are probably right such thought is depressing.

Not from the Bible, no.

I'm sure there's SOMETHING in there about that.

There's Leviticus, which has a mistranslated phrase which says that homosexuals are ritually unclean in the same way that women who have periods are. Leviticus in the OT, and specifically a book of Hebrew laws which are completely ignored today. No other reference in made (that didn't come from Leviticus; later books reference Leviticus.)

At least you, Meiko, and I will be enjoying the land down under. =o)

It's a secret test of character. If you act like a douchebag, then you don't get to join in on the massive Orgy Rave in the sky.

:palm: People most likely DON'T USE CARS in Heaven.

So they've got a pretty good public transportation system, then?

[Wilgrove]

Damn, so you're just stuck there, eternally being electrocuted but never dying? This Heaven of yours sounds worse by the minute!

People most likely DON'T USE CARS in Heaven.

Then why do we even have streets paved with gold?

So what are all those paved roads for? Sheesh, your Heaven is so impractically designed.

[UCDF]

I didn't read a whole lot of the bible. Only the parts that we read in church.

Suddenly, everything becomes clear.

You are aware that the Bible preaches 'love thy neighbour' and 'hate the sin not the sinner' and general tolerance, right? I'd reccomend reading the New Testament a bit.

It doesn't mean "Love thy neighbor" as in "BE GAY AND RUIN EVERY STRAIGHT PERSON'S LIFE"

[Norstal]

Heaven. Communism that actually works.

Heaven: 24/7 massive ego stroke for Yahweh.

No thank you.

A stroke for Yahweh.

After all, there is a good reason why you are required to sit in the right side of God.
Pow-chika-pow-wow.

God is a Luddite. It's all horse-and-carriage, baby.

[Mollux]

Actions are choices, feelings are not.

People constantly waffle back and forth between action-based and feeling-based definitions of homosexuality without even realizing it, hence the confusion.

I didn't know there was such a thing. But what does this have to do with homosexuals?

To walk around on? Maybe with wagons too?

Now your just being a trolling arse. How is my sexual orientation ruining the life of you or anyone? Your ideals and values are idiotic.

You'll get used to it. You shoudn't worry about it too much, the whole thing has next to no impact on society and no impact on your life at all.

Why should you care? If anything, you slap your other cheek.

Yeah, I hate it when gay people swindle me out of my money and then tie my girlfriend to the train tracks while stroking their--wait, are we talking about homosexuals or Snidely Whiplash?

Man, walking on hard metal roads all day is going to be rough on those poor horses' hooves. (And, of course, if they're wearing horseshoes, we get back to that whole spark-on-highly-conductive-metal problem again...)

Why the Hel would I want to pull wagons? Jeez, Heaven just sounds crappy. If y''all need me, I'll be in Valhalla, where we drink, eat, and have never ending warrioring!

If you can choose to be straight, then why don't you, and spare yourself the bullying and discrimination?

Now that could be interesting! *graps weapons to hold for meiko*
