Ok so I know I've already posted today, but I just saw this article on the BBC website and found it quite interesting. A real debate about whether God says it is Good or Bad to be gay. It quotes various parts of text from the Bible etc. and looks at the different views on it then people comment afterwards. Here are just some of the comments:
All academic really; we will outgrow religion as we've outgrown our belief in goblins and dragons. One day we will just accept our mortality, and get on with the business of living. Nathan, UK
This is a sensitive issue, but the Bible does not treat homosexual relationships any differently to heterosexual relationships. The Bible clearly states that any sexual relationships outside marriage are sins against God. Thus the only sexual relationships which are endorsed by the Bible are those that take place between a husband and wife in marriage. Brian, London, UK
The church is so obsessed with sex, when it should be more concerned about love. Jesus said 'love one another as I have loved you', not judge one another. Marie, UK
To me, this is the best one:
The Bible in no ways contradicts itself. It is self explanatory and we do not need the human corrupt mind to interpret it. Homosexuality is an abomination to God and is SIN in clear terms. Let those clergy who are trying to defend it know that the judgment of God is upon them, because the Bible warns us against adding or subtracting the Word of God. Tabby, Kenya
Well then, fuck it- let the judgement of 'God' be upon me. Arse.
Thank God I'm not a Christian. No... wait... Thank God...? hmm.
