why do people hate gay people and say that if you are gay or bi you go straight to hell when the only unforgivable sin is saying there is no god without taking it back b4 you die. some of my best friends are bi and i still am friends with them. the bible does say that marriage is between man and women. that doesn't exactly mean now. that was then. god came as jesus and died on the cross for our sins. this is the way i look at it. there is no reason to be stoned (hit with rocks metaphore). even if i stand alone this is what i say. 'being gay isn't a terrible thing. its' not even a bad thing.' i think its wrong to harrass people that are this.

I would like to know just where in the bible it is said that marriage is ONLY between a man and a woman.
Yes, there is a passage saying that a man should leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife, but as far as I know there is NO passage that says marriage is only for men and women.
I realize that I have not answered your question but I will attempt to now. Theologically speaking the unpardonable sin is rejection of the Holy Spirit. This is ingrained in us because God doesn't want anyone to go to hell. You hear the name of God used to curse. You hear the name of Jesus used to curse. You hear the name of the Blessed Virgin used to curse.
Have you EVER heard the name of the Holy Spirit used to curse? No. You haven't.
People are judgmental, which is contrary to the teaching of Jesus.
People are stupid, which is contrary to their own betterment.
Forget people and their stupid judgments. You are fine in your thinking just as you are.
And you are right; it is wrong to harass people for being gay, bi, transgendered, black, white, Baptist or Catholic.
You've got your head on straight. Never back down. You are ahead of the game!

Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female. It is an abomination.
I Kings 14:24 And there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel.
Leviticus 20:13 If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
NEW Testament
:
Romans chapter 1
24: Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them.
25: For they exchanged the TRUTH OF GOD FOR A LIE, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural.
27 And in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in ther own persons the due penalty of their error.
28 and just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.

Generally people hate the most in others what they hate in themselves. Many of the gay bashing people are afraid they are gay because they don't understand the scientific aspect of attraction, and when they see someone of the same sex that makes them excited they hate themselves and all gays.
also the religion you quote teaches tolerance in the new testament but not the old one, a lot of times when people are confused they go the negative route because it's easier for them

I say different strokes for different folks you can't help who you love or are attracted two. If god didn't want gay people on earth then why did he make them. If you are gay good for you I don't think it's terrible at all. :)
P.S. 88 is the nasty one if you don't like gay people then keep your opinion to yourself.

hey Temple!, I think you got a point, and never thought about that, i'm Catholic (and gay, gasp!), I never ever heard of a preacher or a priest citing any bible passage saying that marriage is for man and a woman... ummm very interesting.

I agree. I have many gay friends and they are all great people. People are just scared when someone is "different" from them.

i don't hate anyone. we all cross the sin line.
i'd have to hate everyone, including myself.
i don't believe the man-woman connection has changed,
nor in relative morality or situational ethics.
not my place to judge anyone, just to try to behave myself.

I don't think there's an answer to that. If people believe Papa Smurf really exists, you won't have much chance of convincing them otherwise.
Just avoid those people.
