God supposedly created us in his image, so if you ask me, God could have been gay too. Amirite?

NO. just no. in you're gonna try to quote God you should know that God detested homosexuality. And image doesnt mean thought processes and sexual affiliation. And remember God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve; or Lina and Eve. Therefore i dont homosexuality was a part of his intial plan.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

then what was his plan?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

it wasn't part of his plan? i thought god never failed and everything was meant to be... hmm either he isnt perfect or it was part of the plan or there is no plan. he created Adam and Eve first but didn't he make Adam and Steve later?

God doesn't fail, But you can. Don't try to shove off the blame. Meant to be? Only if you believe in that fate crap. You can only control yourself and God doesn't interfere with your decisions. But he does hold you accountable for them

i'm not gay so i'm not shoving off the blame. i'm not "at fault." (i don't think you're to blame if you're gay. it's not a bad thing) with the meant to be thing, i don't believe that, i was referring to the "plan" thing. being gay isn't a choice, you are born with it so God must have made them that way. and he definitely failed when he made Hitler

by Anonymous 14 years ago

You're totally shoving off the blame. If you do something, suddenly its God's fault not yours. Can't you stand up for yourself? Hitler wasn't a good person sure, but that's not God's fault. That's HITLER'S fault. As for gay being a choice, that's a whole different issue. There's no definitive evidence either way. But, in my opinion, its much stronger leaning towards it being a choice. Identical twin studies in particular. And if you go to the Philippines you can watch children be turned gay by their friends right in front of you. Either way, if you believe in fate than you aren't taking responsibility for yourself and then you can blame God cause you can't handle it yourself. If you don't, then it Hitler's choices weren't God's failure, they was Hitler's failure.

what did i do? what is my fault? all i'm saying is that god has failed at some point. and sure, it was Hitler's choices. fine. it was an example. but don't tell me god has never failed. there are 2 kinds of people in the world. people who blame everyone else and those who blame only themselves. i normally blame myself so don't say that i only blame god. that's not true, i have never blamed god for anything. but he can't NEVER have messed up i don't believe in fate but those who do don't automatically not take responsibility for themselves. as long as you know that you can change your fate, it's not a bad thing. fate is kind of like believing in god if you ask me. i don't want to get into this, but why would people choose to be gay if you wouldn't be accepted by many in our society? what would motivate you to make that choice?

He had an intention for our life, a will, but he also gave us free will because he didn't want robots who would love him and follow him without wanting to. Therefore, we are free to turn completely away from his plan and his intention.

I would like to point out, NOT trying to get into this or anything, but if being gay or not is STRICTLY choice, then how come there are lists and lists of animals that will mate with the same sex and having been doing so for years? Did all of them, all of a sudden, decide they wanted to become a gay species?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'll leave most of your response to me alone. We're just not gonna see eye to eye on it so why bother, amirite? As for the last paragraph. I don't know. I've taken enough Psychology to know that you really don't know much about anyone. What would motivate someone to kill? Steal? Rape? etc. Depends on the person. Could be attention, repression, necessity, or something else. There isn't much to gain in most everything wrong people do and so much to lose but they do it anyways. Now for this one: Plants reproduce with themselves... Maybe we should do that too? And lots of animals mate with their siblings. I guess we should legalize that too, after all, maybe those are embedded in someones mind. As for choice, I would say they do 60-80% of the time. I don't ever think its biological but it could be behavioral/enviornmental...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

you don't understand why someone would rape/kill/steal because you've never done it and you've never felt motivated to. and are you saying that being gay is morally wrong enough to be compared with rape and murder? it's biologically impossible for humans to reproduce with themselves and the same with reproducing with the same sex. but you can do both of those things without producing a child. masterbation? people do it all the time. and in some countries people do mate with their siblings (don't think that i agree with it, though) so don't try and make being gay sound ridiculous i think that 60-80% of the time it isn't choice. sure, maybe some do it for attention but not most of them. you can't choose who you fall in love with so why would it be different for gays

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Is there even a point responding to you anymore? Ok for the comparing rape and murder part, I almost said explicitly when I was typing it, this doesn't mean that I'm comparing the two. But I thought it would be such a stupid argument that even you wouldn't bring it up... But... I was let down. Next, some countries people do mate comment. Ok lets read what I said again shall we? "And lots of animals mate with their siblings. I guess we should legalize that too" emphasis on legalize. I didn't say it didn't happen. But in most countries, that's not so good. You can't choose who you fall in love with huh? Jeez, that's a tough life you're living, all controlled by other powers. BS! You choose EXACTLY who you fall in love with. Its like saying you don't choose your friends... Oh yeah? Who does then? Do you fall in love with someone if you don't talk to them initially, or spend time with them?

@91785 (Santeria): Just because God loves the person doesn't mean he loves or approves of their sin.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'm sorry but I think calling being gay a sin is just straight up retarded. Whether homosexuality is due to nature, nurture or choice, people have a right to be different. This is almost like racism, except it seems to be legitimised by religion. Please think for yourselves for once.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Of course people have the right to be different, otherwise we wouldn't have free will. But just because we're free to do whatever we want doesn't mean that whatever we want to do is right. If you don't believe in God or anything related to him then this is all a moot point. I'm disagreeing with the post because I believe there is a God who, although he loves the person, could never accept their sinful ways and therefore wouldn't have those sinful traits himself.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

you're still not telling me why being gay is a sin. every wrong act has a rationale for it being deemed wrong. like violence hurts people. and if the reason is "because God says so" it shows how little you think for yourself

Since when does having faith in something mean I'm not thinking for myself? I believe what I do because I've weighed the evidence I've seen in my 25 years of life and come to the conclusion that there is a God and, consequently, his words in the form of the bible are true, so why shouldn't I follow them? Now please feel free to take some bible verses out of context and tell me that I shouldn't mix cotton fabrics with wool or I should burn my house down if I find mildew.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure He wouldn't destroy entire cities because of homosexuality if he were gay too. God doesn't control each movement of humans on earth. He did have a plan, and people can either choose to follow it or not. Homosexuals are an example of the latter. God hates homosexuality, but loves homosexuals anyway because they are his children. Just like any parents has a plan for how they hope their child will behave and the choices they will make during their lives, but they still love their children even if they don't do what the parent had hoped. Try thinking before putting such a stupid opinion out there.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

why would he destroy entire cities because of homosexuality if he loved them? and any parent of a gay, even if they hated homosexuality, would not send their child to hell just for being gay

According to Christians, we live in a fallen world because Adam and Eve rebelled against God (ate the forbidden fruit), and therefore sin entered the world and the curses along with it. Because there are gays doesn't mean that the Christain God--or any well-known god/s--meant for them to be. Personally, I think homosexuality is perverted because the mechanics just don't work. It destroys the definition of marriage and love by saying if someone has a sexual desire to 'love' someone, then heck! let them be married or at least love each other. What if a person decides that their daughter is attractive and she loves him/her back? Then using the same logic, they should be married.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

being gay isn't about having sex! it's not some weird fetish! just because "the mechanics just don't work" doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to love.we can't stop them from falling in love, how could we? what is it, our "duty" to stop it. if you believe that its wrong, it doesn't matter. let them do what they want. why should it matter if you tolerate it as long as the people in the relationship are happy with it. don't bring the daughter thing into it. it's an entirely different thing

But, generally, you only go to Hell if you don't truthfully believe in God and don't ask for His forgiveness. I don't think anyone would go to hell for being gay if they believed and asked Him to right their supposed "wrong doings." I also don't think God hates anyone either. He loves all his children so He can't hate homosexuals any more then he could hate a specific race or color of human.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

you think that im going to hell because i'm not 100% sure whether there is a god or which one it is? does he send everyone who has had even one moment of doubt to hell? i hope that he would be more forgiving than that. there would be a lot of people going down that elevator

We'll, not really... God has no sexuality or a preference because he doesn't have sex. And just because I vote no on this doesn't mean that I (or God) hates homosexuals. Yes it is considered a sin in most Christian churches but God loves everyone, including sinners.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Uhm, not exactly. God has no gender. [But I have no idea as to why "He" is used to refer to God.] God loves everyone, EVERYONE. He loves homosexuals because He created them - along with everyone and everything else. The only thing that He is against is homosexuals having sex. That act was reserved to be shared by a female and male.

Since when does being gay hurt anyone? Why can't people mind their own damn buisness and not say "God disproves of your choices" because last time I checked you can't go to jail for being homosexual or practicing homosexuality. You people are distorting what God is all about, loving one another. And do you really think if homosexuals had a choice in the matter they would, day in and day out, be criticized for who they are by choice? People should be allowed to show who they truly are, even in a world of closed minded jerks.
