Being LGBTQ+ isn't a lifestyle. I know that is some religion's belives, but, it isn't a lifestyle. It's just the way we are.
by (140 points)

Exactly, ofc we aren't trying to be rude towards other people's beliefs, but sometimes you have to understand that something is going to be a certain way and you can't change it.

I don’t get why Christians say being gay is wrong because in Leviticus it says men doing s*x with each other is punishable by stoning to death, but it also says that anyone who eats a shellfish should be stoned to death.

Ok, but why is it so hard for some religious people to understand there is nothing wrong with us?!
by (415k points)
+1
Because in Christianity (and most other religion) it is a sin, if a Christian believes it is right, he/she is no longer a real Christian because he/she rejects The Word. But if you are also homophobic you are also a "fake" Christian because it is another form of rejection from The Word.

It goes against God's creation. Their bodies crave the opposite gender yet their minds lean to the same. Were all sinners, even me, you, everyone. Sometimes I wish it wasn't like that.

We do not “crave the opposite gender, but our minds lean toward the same”! You could be bi, like me, and like both! Or you could just like the same gender! I mean, what if straight people were a sin?! If we’re a sin, are we gonna go to hell?! Wasn’t God the one who ‘created us’?! Cause if He did, He made us gay! It’s not our fault!
by (82.8k points)

And if God had this idea of making us all straight, why didn’t He?!
by

Isn’t Christianity based on the idea that love is the most important thing in the world? Surely it doesn’t matter what gender the love is between, but that it is love and not hatred between these people?

Get some perspective please, the world has much more important things to deal with than two people slightly objecting to two girls / boys who love each other.

I still love you all as a friend. Sin is not hate. Sin is human and we all have to deal with sin.

When I say they crave the opposite gender, I don't think you know what that means because you seem to be too young. Their bodies create an imitation of the opposite gender because they simple can't provide that for each other.

This is a conversation on if in Christianity it is sin or not, which it is. I don't think you have studied nor read the bible, anything that goes against God's creation is not moral. Christianity has a lot of love but it isn't based on it?

I do believe gay people can do what they wish, be who they want, etc. But there is no argument on how it is sin or not, because in the Bible in all forms it is sin. In the Bible it says that a man shall not sleep with another man they way that they sleep with a woman. God created a picture where everyone paints it, and others paint that picture regarding themselves.

In my opinion, I don't care for gays as long as they aren't doing anything harmful. They can do whatever, even if it is against God, who are we to judge. Only God should judge them on their final day.

I suggest you to read the Bible since you seem rather interested in the topic. I respect your opinion on Christianity.

(Oh yes, and in response to 'if God had intended people to be straight, then he should have made everyone so'. I think a lot of people forget Satan exists, and God - even though he is the King of all Kings - has no control over how Satan brides us. Like I said before, Satan is the Prince of Earth.)

Wait, wait, wait. Satan created gays?! I don’t think that’s correct. And I know exactly what you mean by ‘we crave the opposite gender’ I like both! Honestly, don’t you think it’s unfair that we’re treated differently? Y’know, lots of trans people commit suicide because they hate themselves, people’s views on them affect the person greatly.

toad aka star,

I actually have read and studied the Bible as my family are Christian (even though I’m not). My mum has a degree in theology and my grandfather was a minister in a Christian church. Neither they or anyone else in my family object in any way, religious or otherwise, to LGBT+ people, and they have taught me to love and respect them.

I am 11 and no one is ever too young or too old to be who they are. It might seem young to you, but people just know these things in their hearts, there is no law about what age you are allowed to come out at.

I would just like the answer to one question: if you had no Christian faith/religious beliefs at all, would you still have a problem with LGBT+ people?

If you can’t deal with the fact that I am who I am, I don’t care. I’ve never met you, I don’t know you, it’s not really any of your business. You can interpret whatever you like from the Bible, the truth is that God loves everyone, because they are Its children and It created them. (Unless God doesn’t exist, which is perfectly plausible so don’t attack me for that.) Being part of the LGBT+ community has made me realise the shocking amount of ignorance surrounding being LGBT+ and religion. Please wake up, there is nothing wrong with us. Love is not sinful. Hate is.

I don't think you understand I don't have a problem with them lol. I said I don't care about them in general and if they are consenting adults the only person to care would be God. I don't think you've read the same Bible as me because what you are saying goes against the Bible.

Gonna be honest when I was 10-11 I thought I was gay, I really did. I felt something for the same gender that now I can't even relate with anymore, and that's why I'm against children labeling themselves that. And if you are not a Christian, why concern yourself with the Bible? It is sin but that's just how it is. It seems you've overlooked completely on what I've said, re read my comments.

And I think your comment above is really insensible considering you just overlooked what I've said. Sorry but you are just too young to understand so go hide in your fanfiction cave for now.

You know, you can be quite insensitive and rude.

I definitely get that you don’t have a problem with us except for the religious aspect. So, am I “too young to understand”? I got 127/128 in my transfer exams so I’m not entirely pea-brained. I’m definitely not too immature (although if someone makes a bum joke I will snigger like a 3-year-old). I’d like to know, what age are you, why do you “understand”?

I have been taught Christian Education at school, I have been brought up a Christian, I live in a very mainstream-Christian society, so naturally it it interests me. I understand quite a lot about the Bible, but definitely not all of it. I am still young and I have a lot to learn. I am not some arrogant know-it-all preteen who thinks they totally understand this, because I don’t, although I’m not totally stupid either.

I completely accept that some of my opinions might be wrong, but until I learn more about this, they are still my opinions and they are just as right or wrong as yours because I only know what I know and you only know what you know. Although, I think I know a bit more about it than you think I do.

People can have different interpretations and understandings of the same teachings. Even the Bible sometimes is wrong, because even though it is God’s book, it was not written by God, it was written by people for God, so it is their understanding of God’s teachings, not God’s exact teachings, in the Bible. No one can ever completely understand God.

I appreciate that your views are unchangeable and I am not condemning them at all but I would like you to open your mind just a little bit. Perhaps you do not know and understand everything about God, so maybe just think about it a little while. We can agree to disagree as long as we can be civil to each other and not start stupid arguments like this one again. I guess I’ll just go and “hide in my fanfiction cave” and you can go hide in yours.

Jeepers, toad aka star. You always have to have the last word, huh?

Even if you want to continue fighting your side of the argument, I’m not. I’ve not given up on my beliefs, but it’s not worth stirring up all this hate. You can continue fighting, but it’s not worth anything. Here is my final word on the matter. rainbowheart
