People choose to live a lifestyle that is comfortable for them, no matter if it is morally wrong. Don't you want to experience true joy and peace?

I do experience true joy and peace...every day of my life.
It is your judgement that I live a lifestyle of immorality and darkness. It is my judgement that you live a life full of fear and ignorance. Who can say who is truly right? No one. That is a question that we can only answer for ourselves.
I experience true joy and peace because I allow myself to simply be. I am a lesbian, a sister, a daughter, a student, a friend, a partner...I am many things and I allow myself to experience them to the fullest. I do not find myself full of immorality and darkness because I experience real and meaningful love...and isn't love the opposite of darkness?
I appreciate the fact that you asked your question in this fashion. You were not derogatory or hateful. Thank you for that. I only wish you could accept this...that your god, my god (or my version, I guess...we all have different version) would not creat something that wasn't good, wasn't needful for this world. Think about that for a minute.
Blessed be

Sweetie, I am enjoying true joy and peace. I have a partner I love, a religion that is extremely fufilling (Wicca), and there are plenty of windows in my house to let the light come in.
I prefer the golden beauty of real sunlight on my skin to the green florescent din that eminates from a Judeo-Christian-Muslim belief system that would deny me love, acceptance, and personal growth.

Because "The Light" is apparantly filled with sanctimonious, judgemental and intolerant people, who spend more time faulting others for being "morally wrong" than becoming better imitations of Christ. They may live in "the Light" but darkness is in their hearts.
I do experience true joy and peace, living "in the dark" among people who are authentic and genuine. People who are more Christ-like, in fact, than the vocal minority of narrowminded bigots who call themselves Christians.
Don't YOU want to be more like Jesus?

Thank you very much, but I have true joy and peace -- nor do I think homosexuality is morally wrong --- nor in fact does my Church.
This entire argument is, from your perspective, religious. In fact there is a religious battle on homosexuality -- but it is a two sided battle, entirely within religious circle -- not one pitting the faithful against the secular. To argue it is "Christians" (as if there were a monolithic single Church) against "gays," is to lie outright, and in your heart you know it. You are welcome to whatever pitiful contortions you want to try to claim every person who doesn't agree with you on every particular of stupid unimportant bits of dogma isn't really a Christ follower -- but you will sound like what you are -- a person who has replaced faith with fanaticism and reasoned belief with biblio-idolatry.
The first thing you need to grasp, whether you can imagine others whose faith differs from yours as being right or not -- is that OTHER people of faith feel differently from you on this issue; and that churches OTHER than yours feels differently on this issue from your church ---- and that America is founded on freedom of religion.
You have NO right to attempt to legislate YOUR PARTICULAR faith groups' morality into law, not in America. Perhaps you should become a Moslem and go somewhere with Moslem religious law?

Even satan can come as an angel of light. Has God given you over to a repobate mind? True joy and peace comes only from God.

yep i agree with almost everyone on this site, who r u to judge anyone? i thought only god can judge, do u think u r god? if not stop judging and start worrying about ur own soul cause that seems to be needing a lot of work, as it is filled with hatred. God loves everyone including gay people! And they r filled with more love and joy and light than u could ever hope to have.

I'd rather be a homosexual than a deceitful liar.
Why do you want people to lie to their spouses and never truly want to be with them. Is that what you would like from your spouse? If your spouse was gay, would you prefer they just stayed with you and never told you? I don't think so.
If people are encouraged to be WHO THEY ARE and not taught to fear what people may say or do to them, then that kind of thing wouldn't happen as much. Luckily, people are choosing to live THE RIGHT WAY more and more.

I like the guy above me!!!! I am gay and live in the light you sanctimonious self righteous nutjob. I have never experienced the level of homophobia from a religious viewpoint until i had the "pleasure" of discovering this site. I am glad im not American if this is what normal sorted Americans are exposed to everyday. Your religion offends me!

I love being gay. I like girls. And any "light" that looks down on homosexuality is definitely not "true joy and peace".
