Isn't it because alot of us "Christians" have this holier than though attitude & are very hateful & condesending to them. I'm a Christian & getting more ashamed of the people of my faith every day. Could this possibly answer your question Alexandra?

Catman, when the holy roller Christians stop hating gays, then I'll stop hating them

Because Christians like arguing endlessly about non-verifiable points

They’re brainwashed to the point of mental illness. This is the internet and they think they have a captive audience. They just don’t realise that being gay isn’t a choice and there’s no way we could change sexuality even if we desperately wanted to.
If a Christian comes to the gay section and asks a valid question, then yes that’s fine. If some gays want to debate with them they can and the others will move onto another question. The problem starts when a gay asks something like “are there any lesbian clubs in Manchester”. At that point you get Christians jumping in saying things like “you have a perverted lifestyle and you’ll burn in hell”. Now what the does that have to do with the original question being asked? They know their comments are unrelated to the question, they’re just saying these things to be as offensive as possible. Then they wonder why we don’t respect them.

I don't think we can lump all Christians into HATING homosexuals. While it's true that many in our faith have taken to cruelty and bad behavior towards those of a homosexual nature, they shouldn't, however they shouldn't say that it's OK and great to be homosexual either when that's not what we believe. I believe we should be tolerant and loving to ALL people without promoting this kind of behaviour as what we accept. Society seems to have 2 views. Either you are totally into homosexuality and think it's wonderful or you loathe it and wish God would strike down all those who participate. I believe it's got more levels than that though. As a very smart priest I knew once said all the time "Hate the sin but love the sinner". I don't wish ill of any homosexual, but I don't believe that homosexuality is what our Lord planned for us. I think it's one of those things caused by original sin that deformed us...like being born with one eye or having a grave disease...surely we don't hate people for having 1 arm or having a seizure disorder but we don't love the idea of people suffering from Seizures and missing body parts either.

Because some so-called Christians cannot resist the opportunity to spew venom towards gay people. Many have violent tendencies by which they physically harm gays in the name of "God". Since Jesus was a non-violent person and would not be pleased with gay people being bashed, it seems sensible that gays rightfully accuse some Christians of hate.

Well, even if the people you are talking about are full of hate, as a Christian, I think that you should try to understand that Jesus was forgiving to even the worst people. And we are supposed to try to act in His image. So however ashamed that you are of those people, you should strive to be Christlike, and not full of hate like the others.
To me, it is very unimportant what they feel. They can hate all they want; I will continue to be forgiving. I will continue to be nice. I will continue to treat them respectfully. Because that is what I believe that God wants from us!

There is a difference between disagreement and hatred. Just because I believe that homosexuality is a sin, doesn't mean that I hate homosexuals. Homosexuals hate hearing that what they are doing is sin. Nobody likes to hear it. It is human nature to hate the idea that anything you want to do is wrong. Do you believe that it would be wrong for me to be an adulterer? If so, then why? Just because you say so? No. I don't do it because my Creator told me not to, even though my fallen human nature wants to. We must appeal to a higher power other than humans. The same God of the bible which tells me not to cheat on my wife also tells me that homosexuality is wrong. Again, I don't hate homosexuals, I simply think they are fooling themselves if they think that God is okay with it, just as I would be fooling myself if I thought God was okay with me if I chased other women.

I dont accuse christians of hate. I just cannot tolerate hypocrites who point fingers and judge. We are all sinners. I dont care what anybody thinks or says about me. The choices I make in my life are between my God and me, period.
Another thing that bothers me is people saying God hates this and God hates that. I personally have never found the words 'God hates' in my Bible.

I'm not a Christian but I've read that God hates the "sin" and not the "sinner." So what right do Christians have in hating gays? None! :)

Because difference is not accepted by many; those who choose to be different from the general group are hated, feared and avoided, because people are afraid of change. Sadly, there's not much we can do about that.

Like you, other Christians aren't homophobic due to theology. There are many denominations who are and some who aren't. It's all a path to the same end.

ignorance.
I (a Christian) don't hate anyone because of their sexuality (preference). I hate people because of lack of respect for ones self and others, for their ignorance. Not because of their nationality, sexuality or religion.
