Leviticus 20:13 and many other places in the Bible condemn all homosexuality as sickening to God, detestable, and abominable. It is very, very clear any student of the Bible. It is very, very clear to anyone who has the Holy Spirit. It is very, very clear to anyone who is saved. Isn't it to everyone?

I am interested to hear how homosexuals explain this to God.

I am a Chrisitan. I do not have a church at this time, and may not ever find one. I have certain feelings when I go into a church service. I have done this since I was a small child. I am talking about a sense of wrongness. A few examples: women speaking in church, people running up and down aisles, speaking in tongues, women preachers, by-laws, gasping preacher(and a's), not having communion every Sunday(the 7th day of the week), and snake handling. We are to obey what God tells us to do in the Bible. I feel I am not supposed to be there. What do you think, Chrisitans?

Thank you to all who responded - minus those who seem rude.
After reading through the replies I am still at a loss. So Christians pray for a variety of reasons from what I have gathered - makes sense obviously. But God doesn't NEED your prayers, nor does He wait for them, etc. I mean, that's just putting a human concept to God. This makes little sense to me. As a Christian I prayed to get closer, to ask for forgiveness, and to worship. As a Muslim I pray to get closer, and mainly to worship. I do ask for forgiveness after the prayer in an informal talk with God we call a du'a. Muslims believe that it is simply by the Mercy of God that we are saved. Logical. How merciful is He? 70,000x more merciful than your own mother. Basically it's incomprehensible. We strive to do what is right and have faith in Him. This all makes sense to me. What doesn't make sense is a Christian who prays to God for forgiveness when he/she is already forgiven anyway.

R&S has become another chapter in the story of ongoing
wars between nations, religions and people. Has humanity not learned anything? From this point on I will scrutinize every answer I give according to the wisdom of the question.
God Bless you all..............

I think. Reality is what exists whether you believe in it or not.

For example if you don't believe in God, he doesn't exist.

If you cease to believe in the Sun. it continues to exist anyway.

What do you think?

If don't have reason to back up you hate against atheist. Then your being person who unaware of why you don't like them. In other words I guess your being ignorant, because you don’t know the other person side of story.

Because he never actually existed. Go read about the history of pagan mythology and see how much of the jesus myth was ripped off by the christians.
Would you still believe in the myth even when you knew it was false? I would imagine most christians would, because dealing with reality doesn't seem to be your strong suit.

Will it be NAMBLA (National "Man-Boy Love" Association)?

Will it be incest couples?

Will it be polygamists?
If bisexuals demand marriage status, then that would be a combination of same-sex and polygamy. And in that case, it wouldn't make sense to allow polygamy only for bisexuals and not for heterosexuals especially since, unlike so-called same sex marriage, hetero polygamy actually has historical precedence.

I'm not for any of these perversions of the sacred institute of Holy Matrimony. I'm only trying to show how it would be hypocritical to change the definition to only accommodate one kind of sexually deviant group.

I believe in Santan Clause and The Tooth Fairy. Why are my beliefs less acceptable than yours?
Both are unseen but heard about images. Its just that there's a visiual idea to what Santa and the Tooth Fairy looks like.

Seems like we should all be a little more grateful to others for recognizing our wisdom. Just a thought.

And since religion isn't any sort of place to be getting your morals from, maybe an education would be a better use of you time instead of praying.
Oh and as far as jesus never existing goes - Jesus was a story created by desperate jews living in Judea under the Roman Empire. They wanted to be liberated through their messiah 'prophecy' so they threw together aspects of pagan myths (Horus, Mithras and others) and created an imaginary friend for themselves. If you repeat a lie for long enough and you have enough 'witnesses', that lie becomes the truth.
