I know this is a stupid question. I believe that only god might be able to answer this but to bad he can't. I feel so down when I think about this all the time but in his eyes were all brothers and sisters. But does he hate people like me because I'm different. Does he hate people who hate people like me. I don't know what else to day but I literary want to cry everytime I think about it. What do you think?
Thanks in advanced for your answers.

I'm a Christian gay man. I don't worry about those who use Christ to justify homophobia. My faith is very strong and it got that way from loving Christ and praying and developing a relationship with God. Pray, pray and pray some more. Thank God for the good things you do have in your life.
You also need to read some alternative opinions about the verses in the Bible used as weapons against gay people. Start here: soulforce.org. Go to the "Resources" section. In there, click on "What the Bible says." You don't have to purchase anything, you can view the documents in either PDF or HTML format.
Good luck and God bless you.

If there is a god- - - and NO ONE REALLY TRULY KNOWS FOR SURE until they DIE... (and maybe not even then)....He or she couldn't POSSIBLY hate you.... if you believe in god, then you are a child of god and he or she does not hate the children.... now, if you believe all those super religious people who say being gay is a sin, well who the HECK were THEY to decide that????? It may be a sin to THEM, but NOT for you.... for you it is a way of life... NOT A SIN. If there is a god and he had wanted you to be straight, WOULDN'T YOU HAVE BEEN????????????? You are who you are----be proud of who you are NO MATTER WHAT---if you are a good person, work hard, care about people and LOVE, then don't worry what other people think----other people don't count... the only person who counts on this is YOU. If there IS a god---rest assured that he or she is an UNDERSTANDING and FORGIVING god and not the hypocritical person that all these overly religious fanatics seem to be who are the first to CONDEM someone because of what they are....

God does not hate you for being different. You are human and therefore a sexual animal with frailites and emotions and instincts. You are stuck in the body you are stuck in as I am stuck with the hair and eye color and race I was born with. How many people would love to have been born blue-eyed and blonde instead of dark-skinned with black hair? How many South Americans wish they had been born a couple of hours more north? We are stuck with what we are stuck with and we just have to accept it and deal with it the best we can.
Be strong and know that God loves you for your heart and your mind. You are not just a sexual being but a human with a heart and soul. Remember that - being gay does not define you. It is a fragment, only a facet of yourself. You are also a good friend, good brother, good son, good listener, good dancer, funny, smart, silly, crazy and fun person aren't you? You are many people at different times. Remember how wonderful you are and not how others see you or if God, of all things, judges you. He MADE us and he doesn't make things that aren't wonderful and unique. Be happy and accept yourself already. Start to live life and enjoy it. Be you, but most importantly LOVE being you.

i understand this improve into asked a protracted time in the past, yet i've got faith a effortless reaction is deserved. God certainly hates fags (Leviticus 20:13, 23; Psalm 5:5). anybody who says in any different case is a mendacity hell-certain reprobate fag enabler. for sure the sovereign God makes junk. Why else could He have created a hell? could He deliver a introduction He enjoyed there? What nonsense. God created hell and hell-certain sinners for His glory. do no longer include iniquity. purely via fact God made you a definite way does not make it ok. you would be ashamed, and repent of your iniquity.

If you do buy in to the whole bible and religious kick then let me tell you this. It is said in the bible that God knows everything past, present, and future. So if thats true then he knows before you are born you would be gay. If he hated you or hated gays for that matter do you think he would allow the people who would be gay in their life to be born. And if he hated gays do you honestly think he would have even made homosexuality a concievable thought for us to even know of. In my opinion there is no God, there is no heaven, there is no hell so how could something that doesnt exist hate you

You have to be okay with who you are. You have to stop hating yourself first... Here's an old cliche' that I don't think I have ever used before, but it popped into my head (today has just been a really strange day for me). "I don't know you, but I love you." I know it won't help you, but once you realize that you really are an okay person you'll start feeling better. And, I really wouldn't worry about whether God hates you or not. My God is a loving God and is not going to hate you because of the way He created you.

No. Your problem is with judgemental heterosexuals. There are a lot of straight people not staying in monogamous relationships that need to look no further than the mirror if they want to preach about morality and sexual behavior. God loves us all the only question that should be asked about love and God is do you love him.

Just think of it this way: God made you. Why would He make something he hated? That's not Him talking when HypoChristians tell you this, and they're too delusional to realize that they are sinning, and what sin they're committing is the ULTIMATE: daring to presume that they know the mind of God, and can speak for Him.
Never let them convince you that God hates you. That is one of the greatest lies of all.

God did not make imperfect people. You are the person that you were meant to be. Those who disagree with that are those who will be judged; not you. God does not hate you or anyone; and he stated that it was only he who would judge; "lest you be judged by me". Jesus stated that, "only through me shall you meet my father". Jesus stated that, "He who has only the faith of the mustard seed, shall be saved by me". He was telling you that if you have the faith, little as it might be, that if you believe in him, then you can move mountains. Indeed, I have experienced this myself. While I have not moved a mountain, it is only because I did not think I could do it. When one truly believes that they can do something; then they can.
In one instance of strong faith, I commanded light to appear and it did. It was because I believed that it would happen. In times of questioning my faith, I could not do this. Jesus said that if you command something in my name, then it shall be done. This means that you can do anything as long as you truly believe you can do it, if in his name. If you have any doubt, then you will fail.
Strengthen your faith and belief. If you do, you will be able to do things that you have no idea that you can do. Being gay has nothing to do with it as you were made perfect by our Lord. You are gay because it is your destiny. Use your enlighment to your advantage and that of others.
