Answer 2

This is a different answer than many you will receive. If you dont' want any remaining preconceptions challenged DO NOT CONTINUE READING.

-----

Now if you are still with me. The Bible is, while a very nice book that is the basis (in one form or another) the basis of the three great monotheistic faiths of the West -- actually a book of myths, and some of them are pretty horrid myths.

The earth is not flat, it does not have corners, and it is not established on pillars. Beetles do not have four legs, they have six. Rabbits do not chew their cuds, they have none. Ai and Jericho were both abandoned when the Israelites came to them and Jericho NEVER was walled. Oddly, though a million Jews (more or less) marched around the wilderness for 40 years and ALL died there, we cannot find a single skeleton from the march, even though we have found the remains of tribes of 200 non-semites in the same area. Pi really DOES work, and a perfectly round pool cannot be made that uses a pi of 3.0 rather than 3.14 -- it would leak through a gap in the side.

The god of the old testament, almost certainly either a rendition of one of the great Annunaki of the Sumerians or of Ra of the Egyptians, is a monster who cannot possibly deserve worship, even if real. He accepts human sacrifice, demands genocides, and wipes the faces of his priests with dung. He is, in very real terms, anthropomorphic, having a palace on top of the firmament (the dome covering the earth) where he keeps snow and hail "against the time of troubles" (war???) [If you want to read up on this type of thing, there is a fair list on the site I maintain. Go to www.rebuff.org and read the three pages under bible on the left hand menu.]

The short version of what I am saying is -- its myth. Fairy stories, like Grimm's and like Santa Claus. Furthermore, Christianity, despite what you have been told, was not HISTORICALLY based on the Bible as you know it. The canon was not established universally in anything resembling a form you would recognize until the Council of Carthage, hundreds of years after Christ. The early church had 40 gospels, but no one church had more than one book or maybe a very few. Often a gospel, or a letter -- or sometimes nothing at all. Different bishops wrote different canons, just as they had different theologies (gnostic/anti-gnostic for example). The Council of Nice (Nicea) established the creed by vote, and many things (trinity) won by only one or two votes. Divine inspiration? Not unless you count assasination, quite a few occurred connected to Nice and to Carthage.

The idea that the Bible is infallible is no different from the idea the Pope is, and it is even newer.

So, should you be concerned? No. If you want a Christian community to belong to then, if you are protestant, look for a United Church of Christ congregation, or a morelight presbyterian, or contact me and I will suggest more. If you are wanting to experiment with a more traditional liturgy, try calling your local Episcopal diocese and asking to be recommended to a parish that is welcoming to gays. Don't be afraid, just ask. If you are near Pittsburgh -- maybe not, that bishop is nuts, so is ours in Albany but not so badly -- most are ok.

Hope that all helps. Don't worry, you won't go to hell. God knows that the Bible is a myth.

Answer 3

Well, as a lesbian, of course I am going to say no it is not a sin. I don't think we are searching for anything other than happiness, like everyone else. For more info on the bible and homosexuality check out the link I'm going to provide. I don;t think that God would condemn anyone for loving another person. Love is love and we need more of it in the world we live in.

From my own personal experience, I spent many years searching for myself. I fell into alot of things that would definitely be considerred sin. I couldn't understand why I didn't feel the same as my other female friends about guys and sex. Thwn, one day I just realized...and i found myself. And since then I have turned my life around.

So to answer the second part of your question, I was having problems before I realized I was a lesbian. Once I cleared that up, a lot of other things just fell into place.

Answer 4

* what do you think about gay people?

We're pretty cool. Its hard to make generalizations about a large group, but overall I think most gay people are good people. I also think that overall most straight people are good people.

*do you think is this a sin?

Nope. Wiccan, don't believe in sin.

* do you think they're searching for they identity

No, I have an identity. I'm a bisexual female pagan feminist librarian. I don't really need to search for anything right now.

* or they are having problems....

My biggest problem is the "whole lot of ugly from a never-ending parade of stupid” that I get from others. My problem is how to deal with people like that. My bi-ness is not the problem, stupid, ignorant, and rude people are.

Answer 5

It is a very serious sin.That's why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible.(see Gen. Chap. 19).I strongly support President Bush to ban gay marriage.It is immoral and inappropriate for anybody to parade himself or herself as GAY.If any of you were born by GAY Parent let the person stand up and tell the whole world.Then the person will be ostracized by society.It is moral decadence and that's the beginning of the fall of America's greatness if we don't change from this madness.If anybody wants to be GAY,It should be done in secrecy and not in the open.No child would like to tell anybody that the parents are GAY.If people have tried to get married or have been jolted by the opposite sex,that should not cause that person to hate the opposite sex and turn to become GAY for ever.Whether constitutional amendment or not I strongly support the banning of GAY Marriage throughout America because it is not marriage at all but two people of the same sex trying to legalize their bad behavior.Enough of this TRASH.

Answer 6

I am damn sure of my identity. I am bisexual and there is no "searching" necessary. There are no problems and there is not issue that needs to be resolved. I'm just like anyone else, the only difference is that I like girls. Its just like when you like someone with a certain hair color. It's a preference based on genetics and environment. When people start banning marriage between people of the same hair color, then I'll be okay with them banning same sex marriage, until then they can all go screw themselves.

Answer 7

Both some are looking for who they are and some are trying to change who they are, but what they do and who they like is straightly up to them. Unless they are hitting on you then leave them alone they don't hate straight people. Yes according to the bible it is a sin but that bible also says that god will forgive those whom have sinned. Not only that but who says they follow the order of a bible and not another religion.

Answer 8

OH come on babe, it's the same as lesbians, it's both are sin according to me>

This (gay/lesbian)is the most not so important factor, most hook up stupidly....


Man with Woman is only the best. say nature is north attracts South not east hooks up with west..

Answer 9

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Leveiticus 18:22 think about it.

Answer 10

There is certainly some question if homosexuality is a sin.

What we know for certain is that having sex before marriage is a sin.

We know for certain that committing adultery is a sin.

We know for certain that divorce and remarriage is a sin.

Wonder why there is no debate on getting those BEHAVIORS/CHOICES banned?

Oh, yeah, its because straight people do them and its easier to pick on a minority than it is to correct actual problems with society.

Answer 11

Is my being a Lesbian a sin? NO

Is being in love with someone of the same sex a sin? NO

Are we having problems? Maybe but so is evryone else

God is my judge and yours too.
