Just ignore them. I was raised Roman Catholic and my brother is homosexual. Trust me if they care that much and discriminate you, just bring up the fact that Jesus was gay.

The God has made man the Governor on earth and He did not make any other creatures like that. Man is above angel as he/she has a free choice. The real test is how you use your God gifted intellect. The money, the body and the possessions are not created by you. It is a gift from the God. So if you voluntarily follow His command and His desired path which is the best too, you succeed, otherwise you fail. The God has created human relations and simply there is no place for homsexuality. In the time of the Prophet Loat, the entire nation except few people were saved. Even the wife of Loat was not saved as she was helping th homosexuals. Now a days the punishment is in the form of AIDS etc.

Bad is relative. Remember we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I do believe homosexuality is a sin but that doesn't make gays, lesbians, or bi-sexuals BAD people any more than bearing false witness (lying) makes someone a bad person. I know some very loving and caring gay men and lesbian women. In fact most homosexuals I know are loving people. That doesn't change the fact that I believe they are living in sin. I pray for them just as I pray for others (including myself) when they sin. I am not perfect and so I don't judge others even if I think they are making the wrong choices. I am know that others have felt the same about some choices I have made (most of the time they were right). It took God showing me for me to change in my relationship with God according to his timing for ME. That didn't mean I was a bad person just a misguided one.

I agree with Christian girl. God tells you to hate all sin, but you should still love the sinner for they are of His creation. Read the bible, look it up. There are several verses that say homosexuality is a sin. There's no question that in God's eyes it's wrong. And it does matter who you love when it's wrong. Wrong is wrong and it's insane (and just like us "all powerful humans" lol) to try and justify what is wrong to be right. Man and man aren't natural nor women and women. It's really common sense if nothing else. A man fits into a women, natural lubrication, reproduction and healthy. I just did a whole speech on homosexuality and the legalization of marriage. If you want more info, just email me. Hope you have a good one!

It sounds like to me that you may have recieved negative feedback on the issue of Christians, as you say "liking" homosexuals. I of course cannot and will not speak for all christians, but what my heavenly FATHER teaches is the spirit of love, which in greek terms means agape. (love without conditions). But I cannot look over the fact that if I worship this God I must believe all of what HE says or none, and the fact remains sin is sin no matter what form it comes in, if it does not fall into His will, His plan, and His purpose for our lives then it leads us to self destruction. Our Father in heaven does not force himself on anyone, He does not make worship Him, so in the same token neither should man. The BIG deal by the way is your life and all of the things that comes along with every single decision we make. I pray this will help you in your answer to this question, but I fear it won't matter what I or any other christian says for that matter, because you believe what you believe and noone can change that but GOD. But by any means I hope some day you will come to an understanding about the question that is really on your heart. Peace and love.

OK, well, speaking as a Christian of an "inclusive" (that is, non-anti-gay) parish of Anglicans, there are several ways to answer this question. One, by far the most conservative way, is to say that there's no real problem with being a homosexual, as long as you don't have sex.
St. Augustine was a great scholar, who had had relations with both men and women when he was younger. However, as he got older, he realized that his habit of having sex with, well, pretty much everyone he was friendly with, was harmful and abusive, both to himself and other people. Since he had decided to become a priest, he stopped having sex with everyone, and found his life a great deal better.
Another way to answer this is that historically, gay men and women have not been able to legally marry, and therefore, have lived lives either in difficult, often codependent relationships, or by having sex with random strangers (clearly the least safe way to handle one's desires). Since they could not marry, the safest way to deal with the problem was to consider gay sex (along with all other kinds of nonmarried sex) a sin.
A more modern reason is to point out that gay activism and openly gay people are weakening the institution of the family. Some gay activists have openly ridiculed Christianity, and this has raised a backlash with some theologians.
On a more cheerful note, many Christians do not disapprove of gays or their relationships, as long as they are healthy and noncoercive. I am one!
Hope this helps.

Christians believe that you are to love the sinner, not the sin. This is what Jesus did during on Earth and this is what He expects of us. Both the Old and New testaments clearly show that the act of homosexuals,(not the person, the act), is detested by God. This is not what God intended mankind to do to each other. God said that we are to love our fellow man, there just is a line on how far you are to take that love.God wants us to love and not hate. God wants us to be respectful of a great many things, but do we. Self seems to get in the way a lot, for believers and non-believers alike. If you want to do what you want to do, that's your choice. God will quietly wait, for he knows that one day the two of you will meet, and only God knows the outcome of that meeting.

This is easier to explain if I include myself and all other humans in my answer.
I hate sin, my own and others, I love humans, they sin just like I do and I am no better or worse than another. Homosexuality is a sin, just like adultry and fornication and stealing.
Just because I hate sin, much like GOD does, does not make me a hateful person, to myself or others.
I must control my weaknessess and not let them control my life, just as all others may do. I do not have the weakness of lusting after the same sex, but that does not mean that it is a more horrible sin than my own weaknessess.
It is bad to be a sinner, that is just plain fact. Without the grace of GOD, we would all end up in HELL.

It does not matter who you love, but who you have sexual relations with does matter. Sex is to be reserved for a husband and a wife, (Male and Female). Any sexual behavior outside of that is a sin. To answer your question more clearly I would say that homosexual, bisexual etc. activities are worldly. Love of things that are worldly is hatred towards God. Therefore you can not say love and not hate, when in reality you will either love God or hate God.

They see it as a choice. They have know way of understanding what the mindset of a homosexual is. They doubt me when I say I was born this way. And nothing I ever say can make them understand me. Nothing I every say will make them see that I would never choose to be attacked this way. But that I can't live by lying to myself.
My creator made me this way. Their book tells them God hates me. And their book will always carry more weight.
I think it's best to just stop fighting it...

I suppose the fear of disease is a good part of it, beyond the Bible stuff.
There is a TERRIBLE RUMOUR out there that more people who are homosexuals, and their spouses, die of AIDS than the Heteros.
I really don't know if this is true or not - I don't have any friends of mine who are suffering that way.
