You're totally right, cuz its getting worse and worse as years go on. I wouldn't like to see the world in 100 years time :O

and the only thing upsettin me is some of the answers ur gettin :||

Answer 2

I think one of the greatest sins is ignorance. I think that if people wished to honor their gods then they would do so by being a good ambassador, and use correct language and punctuation.

Wouldn't an ambassador from some God present the message of that God in impeccable language?If they were truly guided by the Spirit, as was Abraham, supposedly, be like Abraham and have God provide the words. Obviously, this doesn't happen, and your case is but one example.

Then again, why not look into scripture, if you have the capacity to do so? A small amount of study will show that there is precious little about homosexuality in the Bible.

People think that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because the men in that town demanded sex with the angels. They wished to rape the angels, and Christians think the crime was homosexuality. Does that mean that rape is excusable? I've never heard one Christian preacher speak out about Rape being evil when speaking about those towns.

I've also heard Christian preachers telling young women that if they were raped and survived, that they had then sinned. If they did not die, it meant that they had not fought hard enough.

Christian thinking is in many cases so warped that those using it seem to have given up humanity and spirituality for dogma and asceticism.

So here's what you might do. Get yourself a concordance. Look up the word homosexual in the Bible and see what it actually says.

Try to get rid of pre-conceived notions remembering that your understanding of English does not qualify you to understand ancient Greek or Hebrew. Discover what, through study, rather than accepting opinion of people with agendas, the writers originally intended.

I'll admit that for such as you, this may be terribly difficult. In the end though, it might be worth it.

Oh yeah, while you're at it, you might consider learning English as well. Learning the fundamentals of writing, such as punctuation, capitalization and such will go far in gaining respect from your readers.

With what you've written above, I only conclude that you are A: very young,
B: not a native English Speaker, or
C: poorly educated.
Perhaps you are a combination of the above.

You also do not fully understand scripture. Why not do some study on your own and learn what was really meant, rather than what prejudicial religious idiots might have you think.

Answer 3

I will agree that there appears to be a lack of morality in most of our society. BUT....The basis of what you and even I consider moral is all based on one religious sects view of morality. AND we simply can not assume that all will feel the way you do.

God basically only has or ever has had one main purpose for all of us. To love each other, and to love God. That's it. And what more could a creator want? God is aware that there are differences in people. God isn't this closed minded figure from the Dark Ages, God is a modern and knowledgeable figure of this day in age.

You talk about teaching the children to love God, but you failed to mention loving each other, no matter what. If you are a true follower of God and Christianity, you will know that the ONLY commandment that carries any value is the one the Jesus himself refers to at the Last Supper.
Jesus said that what is in the past is in the past, what is old is old and what is new is new. That there is but ONE commandment....Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love thy neighbor as yourself.

Before you starting passing judgment on others, brother, be well aware that your sins have stained you, too.

Answer 4

Who made you the judge?

Personally, I dislike the kids outside of marriage issue. Would not do that, myself.

Gay people were born that way. So, if God allowed this, it is not a sin.

I try to not judge others, but to live my own life in a way that I feel is moral. And I do try to teach children the love of God.

Answer 5

I am christian and i do not see being gay as a sin against God, god loves everyone despite sexuality.
I also do not see having children outside a marriage as a sin, neither of these things are immoral, a child who is born outside marriage is still a child that God will love and their mother/father will love, i think there is lack of morals today but is it in NO WAY anything to do with having children outside marriage or sexuality it is more to do with people's lack of respect or people including people who think they have a right to judge people for something like you are doing now.

Answer 6

Sorry Matt - you will just have to live with it.

Society has moved on - religion no longer has the same influence it did. People are now able to express themselves and be who they are without the same fear of ridicule and persecution there once was - how can this be a bad thing?

If children born to a heterosexual married couple are so much better off - explain the physical and mental abuse that goes on, the people who sexually abuse their children and expose them to paedophilia? YOU explain to those who have had to suffer at the hands of their heterosexual, married parents how much better off they are.

People who are gay and/or unmarried have equal ability to bring their children up well, with morals and with respect for other human beings, just like people who aren't.

God loves everyone - it's the humans down here that place restrictions on it. YOU are the one behaving "sinfully" by judging others when you have no right to do so.

Answer 7

Plenty of people do have morality, you just see the world that way because it is how you choose to view it. Gay people aren't wrong, God loves us too - we are all his children & he loves us all equally. When I look into my girlfriend's eyes & feel such love for her, how can this be morally wrong? Love is never wrong. As for children being born outside of marriage, I have no experience of this myself but surely isn't it worse if they are born into an unhappy marriage? Don't be so quick to judge others, things are never quite black & white.

Answer 8

Why is it that "christians " confuse morality with religion? I have not commited any crimes against God nor man. I belive in God, and I Try my best to live my life with the creed of "treat others as I would be like to be treated". I am Bi-sexual, as well as transgenderd. I dont feel that I am destined for Hell because I was Born with these things.
I dont steal or murder, I dont judge my fellow man, I try to live my life seeing the beauty of the world around me, and I try my best to forgive those who pass judgment on me....

Christians would do well to learn a few of those lessons...

Answer 9

Im sorry, but no amount of shoving the bible down people's throats will make them straight or less likely to have illegitamate children.....
What century are you living in mate?
Since when was it shameful to be gay, or to be illigitamate?

Get with the times...

Oh and for the record?
Judging people is just as much a 'sin' as being gay...

Answer 10

We cannot say just because a person is gay, or just because someone is born outside of marriage that they themselves are not brought up and/or believe in God and have morals. There are plenty of straight people and those born inside of marriage that are not religious and moral. Rethink this question.

Answer 11

That may be the world you live in... But its not necessarily the experience of everyone...

In fact, religion is the cause of much of the unrest in the world today...

My brother had his first child last week - out of marriage...To classify that as Immoral seems very overtly judgemental... Marraiges fail, Ive been the child of a broken home...A relationship based on love is much more productive and healthy than one based on being married out of necessity...

As for your comment on gay people, Its laughable, I dont really have the words...You obviously have very deep set ideal s and I fear are the sort of person that will not partake in a discussion acknowledging his ideals may not be right.

I just hope your opinions are not being passed on to anyone vulnerable... Its intolerance thats making this world a bad place...
