It is a shame that the hate you have comes out this way. Why not start your own thread and see what responses you get instead of hi-jacking my thread.
Is that seriously the only answer you people have to any question? Whenever anyone questions your reasoning, they “hate” you.
The Bible says gluttony is a sin, and what’s more, that gluttons should “take a knife to their throat.” It is not just condemned in the OT, it is clearly condemned in the scriptures.
Texas is filled with gluttons, but none of them disturb you. Only homosexuals do, even though the scriptures only mention homosexuality once and mention gluttony several times, which indicates this is a more grievious offense.
When someone points out your hypocricy, then they hate you.
My guess is that you yourself are a glutton and can’t stand the fact that according to SCRIPTURE, you are more low in the eyes of God than any homsexual. If you include the whole Bible, gluttony is probably mentioned twenty times more than homosexuality is.
I think it shows a real lack of intelligence and maturity that any challenge to your selective discrimination is, “you hate me! You hate me!” because you can’t HONESTLY answer the question of why gluttons don’t bother you and homosexuals do.
Again, my guess is that you are a glutton and hate being reminded of the fact you don’t follow God’s law any more than homosexuals do. Then you might have to realize your hatred against homosexuals is based on your own bigotry, and you use the Bible not as guide but to selectively cherry pick for passages that justify your bigotry, the same way racists and sexists have done for centuries. You don’t care about homosexuals because the Bible tells you, or you would be far more concerned with gluttony, as it is far more discussed in the scriptures and the Bible as a whole. You follow the Bible because you can pick out some choice passages that you feel legitimize your hatred of homosexuals.
If your faith is so weak that it can’t stand up to the least bit of scrutiny without you retreating into your little victim corner of “help! help! Someone is using reason against me and I’m being oppressed,” that should make you rethink things.
Have you ever seen a documentary about white suppremacists? Their language is indistiguishable from homophobes on this web page. They use the Bible to justify their hate against non whites, say that anyone who disapproves of racism is “hateful,” claim they are fighting evil in the name of God. Oh, and they also hate gays too.
How does it feel knowing that your opinion of gays is the same as the KKK, the Taliban, and Nazis? Personally, if I realized I shared the same view of a group of people with these three groups, I’d rethink my position.
