I'm straight, but why can't Christians just live and let live?

Because they like to judge others, even though they don't like to be judged themselves. Bunch of hypocrites. If they live and let live, the world would be a nicer place, without prejudice, malice and hatred.
If the christians though like this years ago, we may have avoided so many wars (in the sake of religion)

Because they can't. It's their way of saying you can't do this or that with-out going to hell. They want to brainwash as many as they can. They constantly project their beliefs on everyone else. They want everyone to follow blindly. If you question or find a flau in their religion they get realy pissed and don't want to talk about it, or they simply say well the lord works in mysterious ways. If he's so high and mighty then why is he so mysterious. He could just as easily be stait the f_ck up with everybody. Another flau in their little story book is Nowas flood. In the old testiment, god flooded the earth to rid of the nephelum (neff.ell.um) . Not to rid the earth of all the evil and bad poeple, as it so blatently says in the new testiment. The nephelum were half breed demons. The men were giants with super strength. The women were the "witches" of that time and had all kinds of evil powers. The nephelum were from Philestien. Galiath was a nephelum. In the stoy of david and galiath, galiath was a gaint from Philestien. Now if god is perfect and dosen't make mistakes, then why was galiath alive? If he is so all knowing then why was galiath there. An even better question, why did he wipe-out intire races, and breeds. Yet an even better one, if he's so powerful why didn't he just only the nephelome. Do some of that "BLAMING" he dose so much though-out the old testiment. You know! Smight them. That is, if he could!?!? Bring that up to a preist or anyone else who is a christian and they'll get so mad they'll turn ten shades of red. The reason for their being so anal about things like that is for power and controll. They want things done their way so they can mold us to fit their ways of life. If you bend or show weakness to their ways they'll have you too! Before long anyway.

There is no such thing as "homophobic." They simply understand that men lying with one another is wrong. Anyone with half a brain understands that and you don't even need a Bible.
And for your information, it is not the "the Christians" who have the problem with living and let live. It is the radical homosexual extremists who want to change all of society and coerce everyone into accepting The Homosexual Agenda.
Fortunately, about 15 out 16 states have recently JUST SAID NO to gay marriage and ridiculous special rights, affirming that sanity still exists throughout America and the extremists didn't get their way like spoiled children.

They are not homophobic. Sodomy is a sin and God does not want us to tolerate it any more than he wants lying or adultery in his church..
I take it that you approve of men having anal sex?? You see this as a good thing?? It has always been called sodomy and a perversion of normal sexual relations between a man and woman..
Wikipedia:
In the various criminal codes of United States of America, the term "sodomy" has generally been replaced by "deviant sexual intercourse,
If this is what you are promoting then you are a very sick person and need to change to the other forum where you will feel comfortable with your sin..

Using a 'holy text' to support your own existing prejudices is an attempt to give yourself more authority in matters of moral judgment than other people. In reality, of course, morality is subjective, so no-one's judgments are more or less valid in any objective sense than anyone else's.

There is actually a neurological reason. When the brain doesn't have an answer for something, it is in a state of discomfort. Once it "knows", it sends chemicals that relieves the brain of that stress and actually soothes it. It doesn't matter whether the knowledge is correct. Swift action based on quick confident decisions is better for survival than indecisiveness.
Therefore you when violate their christian world in one of the many joyful ways to do so, they get afraid and need to fight for their comfort zone.

The self-riteous often use the Bible just as a drunk uses a light pole. More for support than for illumination.
Think about it.

because they want a good excuse instead of just coming straight out and admitting they are racist nuts, not all are that way but I know a few that are clearly in denial

Homophobic:
