God does not hate gays

I stand against all the hate and bigotry that ignorant Christians promote in the name of loving their God.
That said, I am about at my wit's end with everyone saying that it is an absolute fact that Christianity opposes homosexuality.
All of the passages used to promote this theory can be refuted. The Bible has been translated countless times by the hopelessly corrupt in order to manipulate the population and distort the original messages for their own purposes.
You are using your religion as an excuse to ostracize a group of people who are just as legitimately people as you are. Very Christ-like of you.

Prove me wrong.
Back me up.

In the words of Noam Chomsky, "Any system of hierarchy and domination must justify itself." So what exactly justifies the classification of homosexuality as sin? Don't resort to a mere appeal to authority. Use rationally derived ethics to show me why homosexuality is sinful. Otherwise, even in the improbable case that your religion is correct, it's sin only by the whim and decree of a morally bankrupt tyrant.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, even the religious part aside, how can you not find homosexuality just kind of downright gross? There's nothing loving about it. If anything, it's hateful, as homosexual sex only cultures disease.

Homosexuality is called by God an "abomination", but NO, God does NOT hate homosexuals in ANY capacity.; ▶ Reply to This

1 man
1 woman
both are virgins until after they are married

There doesn't seem to be ANYONE left in the world who values what is really basic human decency and proper conduct.; ▶ Reply to This

Read a book son. If you're talking about AIDS, you can contract that from a blood transfusion. It is rampant in Africa, among other places. Are you telling me that almost entire African nations are gay?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Kaiti on April 5, 2009 at 12:50am: Yes. More AIDS per capita, as it were. Those at highest risk for AIDS right now are unmarried, sexually active, heterosexual females. Lesbians are least likely to transmit AIDS, or any other STD.

Permalink Reply by Lilly-wa on May 13, 2009 at 6:03pm: yes, in the 80's and maybe 90's STD's were more common with gays, and currently it is more common with straight female blacks. im not sure if this is in america or if it's including africans though.
