I found a site that makes me ill

---

wow... thank you for also bringing that in

Sweetie I think you are miss understanding what we mean. Pesonally I have no issues with most types of religion. They can preach what they want, but keep it there. Don't set forth to push a religion or a religous belief on me, because a positive response won't be given. I was raised nondenomination, and we never forced a belief on anyone.Problem is this site in mention, people are claiming to be Christians but yet they are spreading hate and ignorance when Christians are to be against. They protest at peoples funerals when parents and loved ones are trying to greve. It's simply just wrong.For all I know you can feel the same way (But less extreme of course) that homosexuals go to hell, But you are mature enough to know not to push the belief on to others. (Again not saying this IS your belief just using it as an example). Many people have issues with organized religions because they always seem to want to change people, like homosexuals. Problem is there is nothing to change about us. It's just part of who we are. Trust me most homosexuals you talk to, if they could change being homosexuals to heterosexual.. they would. But unfortunately it's not that simple.Not sure about other countries, but religion is very powerful in the USA. It has a lot of hold on things.. even the government (Seperation of Church and State..wonder what ever happened to that??). So when you hear people upset with a church, understand its not a personal attack. Most of the time it's out of frustration.

Oh no I wasn't giving a negative response to that but to something else. I know what you mean when you say people are claiming this and it's people like them who give Christians a bad name. But no I've never really thought on the idea of homoesexuals going to hell, I'm not really against it either. I thought that was pretty silly.

funerals are the most selfish thing, its not for the dead person but for the faimly. irish got it right they have a big party in the honor of the persons life.

Your negative response didnt apply to anything please clarify. Thanks for bringing what up? That I dont like baptists? The ppl on the anti homosexuality site claim to be baptist, this has lowered my opinion of them even more.

Phelps's "church" is one that he heads, and is pretty much confined to his family.

He is a self-hating closet case, one of those people who deal with their hatred of what they are by persecuting others. As well he's a nut-case, and violent to his family. Not a nice person.

Imagine what it would be like to be one of those kids with the signs and someday realizing that you're gay. These people have no emotions except hate. They hate and want to be hated; it's what they do.

Meh the quotes are taken out of concept and most of the main points seem to have been overlooked. Also the bible has been translated many times so its a bit inacurate anyway. If I wanted I'm sure I could make it looks like good hates black people by quoting one verse that sounds like he hates blacks. Its not hard to take things out of context especialy in a book that has been translated a coupple hundred times and is the oldest book around.

The Old Testament is clearly hostile toward adultery and homosexuality, and context is not an issue. Translation is probably not either. There's no way to sugar-coat it. If you're an Old Testament fundamentalist, then you'd have to support the death penalty for those acts.It's too bad that the scriptures are written and translated in a way that people can pick out whatever hateful passage that appeals to them to support their ideas. You'd think an onmniscient God could have done better.

King James was openly gay

You'd think an onmniscient God could have done better. I didn't think God wrote anything. Thats whats wrong with religion its open to mans interpretation of what 'was' written and who wrote it.

The people who recorded the scriptures were merely translating the literal word of God. Believe that or not, you can't prove that the fundamentalists are wrong.

you can't prove anything, when it comes to religion!

If you can prove something, then it's not religion. It's fact.

thats why i don't believe in religion, all these people putting heart and soul into heresay..................

In reply to: If I wanted I'm sure I could make it looks like good hates black people by quoting one verse that sounds like he hates blacks. that. that right there. I'm paranoid. please don't bring that up again. thanks

well the old testament was written by jews, they dont like homsexuals.

Paranoihd that god hates blacks? Doubtfull. Gods supposed to love everyone and if he doesnt Il spit in his face when i see him.

ok paranoid is the wrong word usage. I've just had a bad experience and I'd like the fact of not bringing it up.

What fact? Youre really confusing me :/
