So if gays are sick and they are going to hell for it, then does that mean someone with "another" terminal illness, disability, and/or disorder is going to burn in hell for being sick? Why or why not?

To all the "gay is a choice" people who say they don't believe it's a disease. I was asking the people who believed it was both a diease and a one-way ticket to hell why they feel that way, and if they felt that way, did they feel that other sick people were going to hell for being sick.
I mean think about it people, do you think (for an example) that someone who is terminally ill from childhood, someone who has a learning disability, or OCD is going to hell for that?!!! I mean logically if you believe a gay person is sick and is going to hell for it, then other sick people would go to hell. And in the bible, Jesus heals the sick, so if he doesn't heal someone with a real disease, does that person die and go to hell?
FYI: I'm not gay, I don't even believe in hell, and I'm a Christopagan/Christian witch.

I understood your question even though some people obviously didn't. I think it is a very valid point. Thanks for sharing it.

Homosexuality isn't an illness, nor is anything "terminal" about it.
Not everyone believes in "hell."
There's NO proof that "hell" even exists
Know anyone who knows what "hell" looks like??
Homosexuality is not a disability. (There's no special parking for gays, unfortunately!)
Some people are born gay and some are born heterosexual. THAT simple! ...NEXT QUESTION!!

I completely agree. you can't cure something that is not a disease. it's not a sin to simply be the way God Himself created us. sexual orientation is not a choice...no one chooses to be straight or gay or bi....we just are.
and to those who constantly say/post all these lies, assumptions and generalizing stereotypes....and even go so far as to threaten us....YOU are the ones who are the sinners and are condemned to hell. there is nothing at all Christian about using religion to justify bigotry..to pass judgment on others and preach hatred and intolerance.

Yes, Christians believe the retarded and other disabled who are not baptised will burn in hell because they do not know Christ. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
Fortunately, there are some christians who don't feel that way, unfortunately, they are in the minority.

Homophobes will try to tell you that being gay is a choice, which you obviously know isn't. As for the ones who say it is a disease, they obviously haven't gotten this far in their thinking. Close-mindedness bogs down the brain.

First off, there is no such thing as a Christian pagan or Christian witch. Second off, homosexuality isn't a disease but a physical and emotional sin. There is a hell, and people will end up there, but I guarantee that not every homosexual will end up there.

Being gay is not a disease, nor is it terminal. And, there's no such thing as Hell.

Naturally. Didn't you know that if a person is born deaf or blind and can't hear or read the Gospel, they are destined to burn in hell? They should have thought about that before they chose to have their ears and eyes not work.
Praise Jesus!

Don't forget the part where gay is a CHOICE. God promises to help anyone in need, to change, to be with that person in spirit, so if the gay person is praying to God and repenting, God alone will help this person in need, not for us to judge the person. But we can know what the bible has to say about it and it is SIN, not a disease as you say. I prefer to believe what God says, not men. Gay can change with God's help, terminal illness doesn't have the choice, even tho God does heal IF it is His will. And it is His will for gay to change, otherwise He wouldn't say he abhors it in Romans! To believe the bible or not doesn't change God's plans.

i dont believe being gay is a disease.i believe its a choice of a lifestyle.if you believe its a sickness then get treated if you are gay i dont think a person should choose to go to hell because they are determined to live a lifestyle which GOD clearly states is an abomination to him.it is like anything else you can choose to kill or rape or do drugs or be a drunk or to lie or to commit adultery etc.,etc.its all a choice but there are consequences to every choice any one makes.GOD has said plainly we are to repent of our sins and ask forgivness and it will be given AND SIN NO MORE! may GOD have mercy on us all

I think that the people who think those thoughts are living their own hell right now.
