TRUE they are just using the bible as their brains you can't base your life in religion |

Since the supposed first bible it has been translated many times and is it not possible that was
really being said has been lost intranslation. Let us not forget the bible was written by man and
their prejudices of the time may have been put in and simply passed down.
I'm gay and when ever a Christian hears this they always throw a hundred bible quotes at me without
ever actually knowing me. Surely this shows their lack of argument and these views are now outdated. |

Bible was written by men inspired by god,
inspiration...
I choegraphed a dance inspired by noise pollution, the end effect was nothing like my inspiration
i painted two pictures based on anorexia, looked nothing like a tiny skinny girl at the end
you can be inspired by anything but the end result be completely different
there is not much evidence on the bible being an accurate account on 'the son of god', and if there
was, it obviously was not important enough to be kept safe.
So why do radical religious people bring up holy scriptures in almost every singe debate on this
site. |

Did anyone notice that some of the people saying against this justified their beliefs against
homosexuals partially with their religion (not entirely, luckily)
I think that most people don't solely rely on the religion card, though most do have it as a
supporting factor. Also a lot of arguments other than officially religious reasons are taken from or
influenced by the person's religious bias, like something being 'natural' or not. |

Yup...as a proud lesbian i agree to this statement whole-heartedly. If someones bold enough to
insult me to my face and make a moronic comment about how ill never get to heaven....all i gotta say
is if there is a heaven i don't wanna go there anyway...why would i want to spend one more minute
being judged and surrounded by hatred all because i happened to fall in love with a woman. |

Sadly, this is also what I have seen. It would be nice to be proven wrong on this fact every now and
then... |

I agree that a good number of people do use religion as a foothold for their arguments against
homosexuality. In fact, I rarely hear any other arguments. |

There are strange people in this world who disagree with the same gender couple lifestyle. They have
strong notions in their head that these are not right or good. They do not even try to understand
that when science have approved to it then there must be some truth behind it, though it sounds not
so normal. But when they find that their adamant notions are being challenged by anything then they
involve religion and other spiritual matters to make their statements true and make them look right.
They try to dominate other people by bringing those topics which are not relevant to the issue and
try to make others believe that they are right and others are wrong. They do this just to win over
the argument because they want to establish what they believe and not what truth is. |

I think the Abrahamic religions try to back up their 'gays are evil' thing with religious texts to
whatever, not so much the eastern or pagan(earth) religions. But if (using Christianity as a
example) God said love every one and such or repent and you can go to heaven doesn't that just
contradict every thing they said against homosexuality? (I'm not sure if any of that made sense, let
me know ) |

I think in most cases, the religious belief comes first and then the overwhelming hatred of gays
comes from that. Either way, it's idiotic. |

A lot of peoples opinions on homosexuality are entirely based on their religious beliefs. Many not
knowing any gays at all. I'm a Pagan, and a Pagan minister. Am I gay? Sure. I'm often told by people
that I'm going to hell. On the other hand, i can tell them that they are going to die, rot in the
earth, and never go to heaven. Do they believe me? No. Do i believe them? No. And so the circle of
life takes another predictably slow turn. |

Yeah...it seems that every person who tells me being a lesbian is wrong throws in that i wont go to
gods kingdom and that it says it's wrong in the bible...my question,did god sit down and write the
whole bible,no,its a bunch of other people that speak gods word for him.it just seems like they
throw that in there to make a logical reason as to why it's wrong. No one has an answer for it
though. |

It seems like it. Not everyone believe in the same religion and some people don't get that. I hate
it when people are like "this is the right way" then I have to tell them I'm not that Religion and
they are "oh" or "well then you are wrong" .
People have different opinions and ways of live. I''m not saying the all people that put religion in
the convo are wrong I'm just saying that , saying it doesn't mean you are right. |

I do not think that being gay is right.....and i do not throw religion in when i disagree with
someone about...being gay is just wrong.... |

Some people do, indeed, refer to their religion and try to use theological arguments in order to
justify their opposition to gay marriage. Nevertheless, if you were to poll the majority of people
opposed to things like same-sex marriage, you would probably find that they would not provide any
religious arguments at all, in order to explain their opposition. I think that the most common
argument against gay lifestyles--even though it is not very compelling--is that this is just
"unnatural." The vast majority of people who are opposed to gay marriage, or who take issue with
homosexuality in general, are not practicing Christians to begin with.
There are also secular arguments against same-sex marriage, which have been used by some academics.
One of the most prominent examples is Margaret Somerville, the founder of the Centre for Medicine,
Ethics and Law at McGill University. In 2003, she submitted an 11 page brief entitled "The Case
Against Same-Sex Marriage" to Canada's Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. In it, she
argued that the primary purpose behind marriage was reproduction, a goal that gay couples could not
meet. |

You'd have to know the Bible well to know why they say the things they do.Some just don't know how
to convey it in a different manner than they are taught.They ,I , believe it to be 'Truth' and say
the things they do with all good intentions.,for the most part. |

First off, we don't do it to make our debates sound right, they're the valid proof homosexuality is
bad. And as said before in your chat box, we're saying so as warnings, not threats or anything
trying to make us sound better.
And besides, God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. |

I disagree with this debate. Homosexuality is against most Christian religions and that is why
people use religion to justify their belief. I am against homosexuality. I not only think that it is
against religion, it is just plain sick. We do not see animals engaging in homosexual activity. It
is not naturally correct. If God wanted people to be gay, he would not have created two different
sexes. I definitely believe that it is a choice or a lifestyle. It is not something anyone is born
with. People are gay by choice, just as heterosexual people choose the mate they want to be with.
Therefore, I do not solely use religion to justify my beliefs although it does play a big part. |
