And I bet you think . . .

. . . from all the former posts that I have read and how one thing is always related to the others that . . .

http://www.godhatesfags.com is indicative of all christianity just as it has been stated here thatthe Crusades were indicative of all christianity, just as stated here that the salem witch hunts were indicative of all christianity, just has been stated here that the KKK is indicative of all christianity.

Yes by biblical standards homosexuality is a sin, but big BUT, God hates the sin, God does not hate the sinner. And the standards the Bible applies are to be applied to the christian not to the non-christian.

http://www.godhatesfags.com make the error of holding up a pattern and appling it to everyone. Biblical standards are to be applied only to those who accept the Bible.

Flame away, I know that you will sum me up with them anyways regardless of what I say, that is what is done best around here.

and this is why i don't bother trying to articulate any of my thoughts cause you pass them by 21 people looked at this thread but wouldn't say a thing.

where as at least when I copy and past some http://www.boortz.com and some http://www.infowars.com it inflamed you enough to post.

Angry posts are kinder than silence

No one thinks that godhatesfag is indicative of Christianity, Todd. In fact, on that thread at least one Christian expressed her dismay at that site. Most people with critical thinking skills know not to judge the group by its more extreme members. Don't you agree?

I think the Baptists tend to be guilty of going overboard on that particular sin, Todd. You are right that it should not indicate that the whole portion of Christianity has not embraced that thinking. I have met and know some great great non judgemental right wing christians. I know that the Bible indicates that NO Sin is on any type of list form from bad to worse. A sin is a sin. I didn't want to get into what is a sin, my whole point being that not all Christians believe in Hate messages like that. It is wrong. And I agree with you on that point.

But it has been done here in the past that an example of christianity was given and everyone was like, "Yeah thats what christianity really is" i.e any of the threads where the crusades are mentioned, where was the critical thinking in those thread? It seemed to sway to mob mentality in those threads. Give it time it will in that thread as well.


Watch now that I have pointed out it happening every one will shy away from it and show critical thinking just to make me look bad, oh well I can't lose for winning.

I don't know what started this particular thread, Todd, but I know I am one that has mentioned the Crusades in the past. Growing up in a Christian-dominated society, I can more easily point out the shortcomings of Christianity than of other religions, but that does not mean your religion does not have many good points as well. And I will echo Laurel's comments - the fringe of any group does not - and cannot - truly reflect that group's message.

I do take issue with the biblical classification of homosexuality as a sin. The Book may be the Word of God, but I sincerely hope (and believe) that man distorted His message in many instances. I cannot see how same gender sexual relations is wrong in any way. It is natural, it is loving, and it is a bond between two people. That is simply a beautiful thing.

Don't look at me, Todd, I'm a heretic, plain and simple. I place my faith in nothing that was ever touched by the hand of a human. I don't trust in "divine inspiration" or God telling any one people or group his laws and expecting the rest of the world to take peoples' word for it. That said, the parables of the Christ form a good basis for living, at least in my view, so that's how I try to live. Mind you, I'm also a sexual deviant, so if any branch of christianity is correct in regards to sin, I'm damned. Period.
