Why is it that a gay person can disagree with a Christian person ?

Question

and call them names and yet, when a Christian disagress with a gay they are considered intolerant and judgemental?

I am a Christian and the reason I ask is because I totally disagree with the gay agenda, BUT I do respect them as a person and I was just wondering why the same civility can not be extended to me.

in regards to the person who said we should read the WHOLE Bible.....I have and in it is says that homosexuality is an abomination to God.....why is that part of the Bible left out of your argument? Of course....I have read the whole Bible and I still Love the people who do not follow the Bible's teachings, but find it interesting that what I am being accused of......picking and choosing parts to believe you seem to have done the same

Answer 1

I guess because religion is a question of choice, but homosexuality is not. Someone can disagree with your beliefs (without calling you names of course), but it is more delicate to disagree with someone's existence (meaning being a certain way).

Answer 2

Oh, no, honey. You are so wrong. You may have read the bible from cover to cover, but it is impossible for you to have made a decision that the bible actually says homosexuality is an abomination. Someone else TOLD you what it meant.
And they are wrong.

I don't care what your KJ version says. It was re-written by people who had a 'problem' with homosexuality at the time.
That's all there is to it. God made NO such command. God would never have made such a petty claim.
Man did.

You go ahead and believe what you want to believe, but you have no right to pressure anyone else into your way of thinking. That is when other people tend to "call you names". If you aren't adult enough to handle it, go preach to someone in the "Consumer Electronics" category. I'm sure you can find someone there who isn't living their life to your liking.

Christians ARE intolerant and judgemental. They always have been and always will be. That is a choice. If you choose to be intolerant, bigoted and judgemental, then that's on you. You can change, you know. Why does everyone else have to change the way they live and love to conform to YOUR standards?
That's where YOU are judgemental and intolerant.
What part of "live and let live" don't you understand?
It's like you people beat your heads into a wall trying desperately to get someone else to change.....when all along it is YOU that needed the change of heart.

So, in closing, I apologize on behalf of all the gay people who have called you names.

When are you going to be big enough to apologize to all the gays you've judged so prematurely...people you don't even know!?

Remember.....God will judge you in exactly the same manner you've judged others. That should mean something.

Answer 3

The problem here is that it appears many Christians who adamantly declare their opposition, revulsion, disgust and every other negative perspective they have of LGBT people cannot understand that in expressing these opinions they are engaging in personal attacks. Even those who simply declare it is a sin are guilty of passing judgment, another form of personal attack. What really intrigues me is that those who are taught to turn the other cheek refuse to do so when faced with a situation in which doing so would be a means of expressing the love for fellow man that I think would make Jesus Christ proud.

A point of clarification: I am not saying that all Christians are like that, I'm just referring to those who feel they need to run around using the Bible as a weapon against the LGBT community. My suggestion to those people is that they should read THE WHOLE BIBLE! Quit picking just the parts that you think support your point of view. There are likely as many verses in the Bible that could be used to condemn your behavior.

I'm quite proud of myself. I answered your question, I appear to disagree with your point of view, yet I didn't call you a single name.

Answer 4

There is a basic truth...learn it well. "When Christians disagree with someone, they assume the person is going to hell, is going to suffer God's wrath, and have no trouble judging away. Sin, sin, sin. When Gays disagree, they put it up front, don't use God as an excuse, don't drag a bible onto the debate stand. We don't consider you intolerant and judgemental...YOU ARE intolerant and judgmental...that was simple, wasn't it?

Answer 5

I know and have discussions with many Christians. As long as I'm treated civilly and given the respect, I give the same in return. When some one comes out with a condescending, holier than though, your a pervert going to hell attitude the gloves come off fast and I go for the KO.

Answer 6

Because there's a difference when you agree to disagree and can still be adults about it, than when a person deliberately calls names, shows their intolerance, and parks their hatred and beliefs on everybody's front lawn.
If someone says to me that I'm an abomination, nasty and gross and I'm going to hell, of course I'm going to get upset, but that's not so much a disagreement as trying to defend my character. It'd be different if somebody said "I don't agree with homosexuality" and I say, which I usually do say, "That's fine, it's right not to." We are agreeing to disagree, like adults should.

Answer 7

I have never been like that. I don't call Christians anything but Christians.

But, concerning others? Well, maybe that's because many people tend to put Christians on a pedestal (even when they ask you not to) and when they say something out of place it comes as a huge shock.

Answer 8

Do you know there are "billions" of straight people from other religions (including straight people from China for example) who don't agree altogether with Christians, and so many gay men that are still Christians ?

And what do you mean "Christians disagrees"; that they should burn in hell, not get married, should be punished, should be discriminated, should not have any sex etc. etc?

Answer 9

ok, it depends on the context here. and also, there's a difference between a Christian, and those who "use" the Bible to justify their homophobia.
if we are being asked a legitimate question, that's one thing. but are we not supposed to defend ourselves when these so-called "Christians" come in here and do nothing but tell how sick and sinful and disgusting we are and that we're going to hell?
there's a difference between "disagree" and being verbally assaulted and insulted.

Answer 10

If someone stoops to calling names or insulting someone, they're a bigot, regardless of whatever they're aguing about.

If you think that immaturely about people, and automaticly assume that a gay person and Christian will start being idiots towards another, I think you should change your view.
