Is gayness a sin?

[book em dano]

A while back I had to go to some gay Catholic retreat and there they told us that being gay is not a sin, but premarital sex is. And since the Bible says that marriage is between a man and a women, gay sex is a sin.

I wonder what DS would say...

Yeah. The bible just says ‘man shall not lay with man’. It doesn’t say man cannot be gay.

Some Christians just use the bible as an excuse for their ignorant hate of gay people.

It's obvious...

Interpret what she wants the bible to mean, then claim she's 100% sure that her interpretation is right, then claim the bible is 100% right and take that for granted, then claim it is not self-righteous to think you know all this.

The bible says not to.

The bible also explains how to beat, breed, and maintain slaves. The bible also blames women for original sin. Samson's wife (Delilah?) is the one who turns him in. And so forth.

However, we are all much nicer, less bigoted (most of us) and all around better people then most of the bible's atrocities, so we choose to ignore them.

I can't say I've studied much about slavery, but I would guess that nowadays (and possibly back then too, like I said I don't know) people would quote the passage about maintaining, breeding, and beating slaves.

Thank God we know better then to have slaves. Digi, what do you think about that? Should we follow God's 'law' and have slaves again?

I'd like to add, that it is very fun and easy to argue against fundamentalists, and I really do enjoy these debates. So yes digi, you are appreciated.

Homosexuality shouldn't be considered sinning. Effing christians.

What is this..."sin"?

[Abrahim]

The penis is for the vagina, built for it. It is built for the ear, eye, anus or mouth, not between men and women, not between men and men. Who says? I says! Whats the sin in sleeping with another man? Nothing! Whats the sin in sticking a penis in an anus...well a stinky penis!

The Bible says about the laying, the Qur'an says men going in unto men is an abomination.

That really isn't as much an argument against fundamentalists as christians in general. It acknowledges that the bible is not wholly correct and supports immoral acts.

it isn't a sin, but some dumbfucks may choose to believe so...

You make me sick.

Since im not catholic i cant call gayness a sin but it is more than that.

GAY PEOPLE ARE AN ABOMINATION OF NATURE, THEY ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT WERE KILLED FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES BACK IN CAVE MAN DAYS, THEY DO NOTHING FOR MANKIND AND IN ACTUALITY HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT UPON MANKIND.

no hard feelings, but gays and retards deserve to DIE, no not deserve, but they must be to preserve nature. nature means natural and what not right, and homosexuality is NOT NATURAL GOD DAMN IT. if there were no laws to stop me and i weren't a bit of a coward =) i would go out and kill some gays and retards. anybody here agree with me? if there was a hell, gays would be sent there, i guarantee you. my wanting to kill them is purely practical, not ignorant hate too, it is practical to kill gays and retards because gays cannot procreate and it makes me sick when gay people adopt.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!!

They are basically like infertile males in the population. I don't think they are a burden if they pull their weight. How do they have a negative effect?
