God loves the homosexuals as sinners, but he doesn't approve of homosexuality. Because it goes against the divine purpose of male and female relationships- in which we were created. Just because someone views homosexuality as a sin, doesn't mean they hate homosexuals. Quite the contrary! It means they love them enough to tell them the truth. We can pray for homosexuals to be delivered. God is very merciful.



I hate it when people use religion to justify their anti homosexuality beliefs.

Good ol' League_Girl! She's still got it! :mrgreen:

By the way, conversion therapy is literal torture.

Can we start a religion conversion therapy? Maybe an intensive course in logic followed by an overview of the scientific method?

...To-day, especially in the Western World, no, there were almost certainly not be any official " convert-to-Christianity-or-die " people...but here in America, for one, when European Christians colonized/conquered, there were plenty of those in those centuries-past times!
Plenty of European Christians killing each other over the correct form of Christianity, as well ~ Most notably Catholic vs. Protestant, but other differences as well!

Why don't these Christians know how to get a life?


What? Christians are being slaughtered world wide. Yet, everyone talks about these poor Muslims and "islamaphobia".
Yikes, its as if liberals love Islam. If they only knew that Muslims will kill you for not being Muslims. Christians simply want to convert you. But it is unlikely they would harm you.

Thread started out with the implicit assumption that it's OK to be homophobic. This naturally attracted trolling (which, contrary to several public assumptions, was dealt with) and has now descending into troll back-and-forths and, worst of all, open bigotry like the above. Don't see much potential for the conversation being "rescued". Thread locked.
