Many argue that God has given us the choice to believe in him or not to believe, then, should he not respect my choice to make it meaningful, just and fair?
When I am given to choose between two without any negative connotation it is a choice.
But when a law is laid I have no choice because ‘disobedience’ is punished.
And that's what God seems to have done ‘Laid down a rule to believe in Him, if one does not do so he/she dismissed to hell and that too without a hearing’!!
How can such belief be accepted and God considered as Just? Again, is it not pointing a ‘Gun’ at me?

Was Jesus crucified because he claimed to be the son of God? Is this proof that he was or proof that he believed he was?

Is the death of Jesus' disciples proof of his divinity? Or their conviction?

Are they incapable of looking at gays as humans?

Do they think we will suddenly start granting animals the right to marry? (They don't even have the right to live a decent life before we kill them to satisfy our hunger for meat. )

Is it simply that they have no logical secular reasons for banning gay marriage, so they have to make up falicies?

And most of all, didn't Jesus say loving your neighbor was one of the most important commandments of all? That and loving him above all. Well if that's what Jesus would do, and you love Jesus, and want to follow his top 2 commandments, shouldn't you have a little compassion? Maybe it's not your cup of tea, maybe you even think its a sin, but who are you to judge? In what part of the bible does Jesus say: "Love your neighbor as yourself, except if they are gay."?

If you're right, they will go to hell, and God can punish them. Stop trying to play God.

Are there any Christians that agree with me?

Before you answer,please take a moment to think about it.
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." raises a few questions.

Don't tell me there is only one, and don't answer with just there is only the Trinity. There are three more besides the Trinity.

a great number of them? Does anyone see this happening at any time soon? And if you are Jewish could you state something that could happen that would make you doubt your current belief that the Messiah has not yet come?

Does it ever scare you to think about the uncountable number of moving pieces in your body and all the things that could go wrong at any moment if you went into the wrong environment or ate the wrong things? Each of your cells has a trillion+ moving pieces and you have octillions of those cells maneuvering within and against lots of organ tissues! Pretty freaky eh?

Do you ever stop and think: Holy crap, why couldn't I have stayed in food form?

Does this experience prompt the above question or a spiritual awakening?

If not, why is there the interdependence of so many species on this planet? This indicates at least some things in the Universe do have a purpose. The Fig tree wasp is a good example. Without the wasp, fig trees cannot reproduce. If they don't reproduce, of course they die. SInce we know as a fact, that there is a purpose to the existence of some species, how do you rationalize that there cannot be any purpose to our lives? How can a hypothesis apply to some of the world, but not all? I am just trying to understand.

- All God's choice (Calvinism), 100% God, 0% Man
- All Man's choice (Pelagianism), 0% God, 100% Man
- Both cooperating (Arminianism), 50% God, 50% Man

Where do you fit in with your beliefs?
