Answer 1

PLEASE!!!!

Do not insult PIGS!!

They are intelligent, gentle and non-judgemental. What more could you ask for in a companion?

Answer 2

Cultures, Politics of man and people change the Bible and it's truths doesn't..Forgiveness comes from God once a person Confesses their sin and changes their Lifestlye. It can be the life of a thief as Demonstrated on Calvary, murder, fornication, adultery or even homosexuality......By the Way Islam nor True Judaism allows for it. In Islam both parties are put to death. Christians are most gracious and tolerant. They simply give the message as found in Scripture. It is not what God intended for mankind to be.

Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus20:13, Romans 1, 1st Corinthians10:13, James 1:12, James 4:17, Revelation 22, Daniel 11:37, Hebrews 8:12, 1 John 1:9, 1st Corinthians 6:9-10.

Answer 3

Im assuming that this happened in the States ( I know it didnt, but I cant really comment on cultures that I dont live in). According to American law and/or public opinion, the guy has a right to be served by who ever he likes. He asked to be helped by someone else and the gay guy took offense. I didnt read anything in the article that gave good grounds to cause being barred from the library. If he had been helped by a woman and had asked for a male's help simply because he didnt think a woman was smart enough to help him, then should he be barred for upseting the woman? The other people could have refused to help him, but to bar him is ridiculous. If I was told that someone didnt want my help because I was a Christian, then I would be flippant and find someone to help him. I think they caused a bigger uproar than was needed.

Having said all that, some Christians have a hard time separating the sin from the sinner. Jesus never had this problem, but most humans do. I even have to catch myself when I think negatively about someone because of their dress or appearance. I admit to difficulty in showing love to people whose way of life is morrally opposed to mine. It is something that I am working on to better my witness.

Answer 4

I wish I knew! There are lots of reasons as to why it is wrong to beleive homosexuality is a sin. There are lots of reasons that it's wrong to judge. I get so mad with Christians giving me a bad name! I's a 'devout Christian', but I'd let anyone serve me - except for a bigot. A bigot would offend me. A bigot would make me protest.

What a uneducated, closed minded man that man in Manchester is!

Grrrrrrr!

Answer 5

Its pathetic. Being gay doesn't make you a better or worse person. I'm a straight male but even I take offence when these power hungry "Christians" try to infect others with their hate of everything different.

edit: Jesus was probably gay anyway. He apparently didn't marry and he hung around with a big gang of men all the time.

Answer 6

This man was not pig-ignorant - that implies he had no intelligence, and clearly he does. Neither is he homophobic. A phobia is a fear of something, and I doubt he feared the librarian.

He is taking a stand against a sin. Sex with someone of the same gender is a serious sin, and he found himself being served in a library by someone who not only commits that sin, but attempts to use the holy sacrament of marriage to justify it. Gay "marriage" is a terrible blasphemy, and I think I too would try to avoid being with someone who has defiled something so special in that way.

They may call it Civil Partnership, but they wear a ring, and have a ceremony followed by a reception and a cake. I find the whole thing offensive and upsetting and I can't believe the government passed it without listening to the views of the public.

Answer 7

I wish I knew - I suppose it is because they take the readings in the Bible word for word and also that the Bible was written by God. It wasn't - some bits of it are true but the vast majority was written by men to frighten, indoctrinate and empower others. God loves us all, regardless of our sexual preferences, and we all go to Heaven, or spirit world as I know it, regardless of who we are. God doesn't punish as Christians believe because they have read it in the Bible, how could he when he loves us all? By the way I am not biased because I am hetrosexual.

Answer 8

I do not think he acted out of line. If anything, a public institution acted against him because of his stated beliefs. The proper response would have been from the staff

"I am glad you have an opinion. I disagree with your opinion. If you require assistance from anyone here, you will have to compromise your belief in order to receive assistance. Otherwise, so long as you do not interfere in the research of others, you are entitled to participate in research here. You will, however, not be able to receive assistance from the staff, because your request in unreasonable. I wish you luck in your research, but we will not render aid."

However, the staff sought to punish someone for their belief, which was asked in a reasoned and polite demeanor. The staff was out of line. I think the guy is a little flaky for asking for help from someone else, as I do not see the connection between someones relationship and their ability to point you to a good book. But that does not excuse the unprofessionalism of the staff in this matter.

Answer 9

They are that way because of how they take the bible literally and are very rigid and totally uncompromising in their beliefs.

The guy in the article is a pratt, frankly, no make that a moralising pratt. I love it as well how these supposed Christians portray themselves as being whiter than white. Don't forget...let he who is without sin cast the first stone...

Answer 10

I don't think the idiot in the story is necessarily typical of all christians. Jailing a man for being intellectually sub-normal does seem a bit harsh, though.

Answer 11

W e are all entitled to our views.....this page proves that.
What we should remember is that in public we should behave ourselves and unless invited to then keep our opinions to ourselves.
If this Mr.Fairclough felt unable to speak to this man then he should have walked away and gone eleswere. But No he thinks we all have to listen to what he has to say.
I am glad they locked him up, might teach him a lesson in social behaviour, although somhow I doubt it he probably thinks he is some sort of matyr.
It is not up to him to judge people or their behaviour it is up to God......I fear he may have delusions of grandeur.
People like him give us Christians a bad name and we sound like bigots....well some of us are not.
I suggest he reads all of his Bible especially the bits where Jesus is giving us advice on Love.
