Homosexuality and Evo, Creo, and ID

If you're asking for opinions, those that think like that can go on thinking like that. You can go on saying it and the rest of society will laugh at you. In a generation or so those that think that way will have disappeared because it's so obviously an immoral, plain ignorant and out-of-time position.Btw, how can being a homosexual be a sin? How can they repent from being homosexual? You might as well as for someone to repent for being black. You have the right to say whatever you want in the public square, so long as you don't do anything to cause a breach of the peace. I really wish your lot would do it more often - the more people see and hear these laughable ideas, the more quickly they'll be gone from society.Edited by Tangle, : No reason given.

I expect the same thing as happens with the atheists who continue to rail against the courts. Some people will criticize them, some will agree with them. Eventually things might change, or they might not. As long as it is protected speech, then only social consequences will follow.Inciting or engaging in violence, harassment and what have you can have legal consequences.

We'll see you for what you are. And you'll complain bitterly about that, too.

It's homosexual acts that are the sin, sorry if I wasn't clear, and those can be repented of. I admit it must be hard, but heterosexuals also have to deny themselves sex outside of legitimate marriage.

Of course you will continue to be as stupid as you wish. The evidence for that is overwhelming. Roman Catholics are still free to not recognize marriage between divorced couples, to deny marrying people that are not both Roman Catholic. You can be as silly and bigoted as you wish.Remember Fred Phelps, a good Christian, was free to continue spewing utter nonsense and his family continues to have such freedom. No one has denied that male and female are descriptors of human sexes, and no one is trying to change that. When two males marry one does not become a woman; when two women marry one does not become a male.Of course in reality there are far more than just two sexes in nature.

Of course you will remain free to rail against the courts.

But we can't run businesses if we won't provide services for gay marriage. Will we be allowed to walk on the sidewalks or can LGBTs shove us into the gutter as Muslims do?

Yeh, right, we all did that didn't we?I sometimes wonder what century you live in. I believe you're 70ish? You wouldn't be out of place in the 17th century.Sex, by-the-way, is quite nice - you should try it some time.

Just as you aren't free to declare your businesses "whites only". It's the same law.

You will be able to walk the sidewalks but you will not be free to discriminate.

At least you seem to accept that being homosexual is not something that is a choice. But that gives you a problem, given your belief that god is responsible for everything, he must have made homosexuals. If he made them, he must approve of them, how can sexual acts between them then be a sin?

Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful -- just stupid.)

― Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

Faith probably would be out of place in the 17th century; that was the time of King Charles II and Nell Gwyn, of King James II and Arabella Churchill, to say nothing of the future Queen Anne and the Duchess of Marlborough. It was also the time of 'The White Devil' by John Webster, 'Women Beware Women' by Thomas Middleton, and ''Tis Pity She's A Whore' by John Ford. No, keep Faith in the 20th and 21 centuries; she's much safer here.

No they don't. If this is a criteria for your heaven, not many people will be there.I was married in a civil ceremony, no religious ceremony at all, does this mean my wife and I are living in sin and she is going to hell?

A lot of our current social mores are actually quite new historically. The 19th century victorian age is responsible for the some of the utter prudishness we see today. There was never this golden age of strict social mores that Faith and other fundies harken back to.That time actually never existed.
