Gay/Bi and your religion.

Even if their beliefs made sense, the fact that religion is the cause for most of the conflicts in our past would deter me from ever practicing.

Athiest here.

 

Wrong.
Hate the sin, love the sinner?
it's a load of shit.You can't shun one of the cornerstones of an entire lifestlye and still love the people that practice it.
This loving new-age form of christianity can be quite nice, but it's NOt christianity.
simple as.

 

My friend kills babies and I hate that about him, but he's a great guy!

</massive sarcasm>

 

A few years ago I "turned to god".
Being extremely cynical and skeptical, I was pretty much in a constant battle with my own sense of reason, trying to "have faith" in the crazy mind bending shit that seems to refuse to make sense no matter how much I want to
believe.
I'm an atheist now.

 

I am a bisexual 15-year old male, but that doesn't stop me from being Christian

 

Hate to break it to you but that 'mercifull' God of yours is sending you straight to hell, despite what those new "accepting" churches might say. It's in the bible without the bits cut out. Look it up sometime.

Were you raised (brainwashed) by a Christian family so you had no choice in the matter, or did you think hard about what kinda of stuff you're accepting as fact when you believe in religion?

Sorry for coming off like this, I just truely hate all religion (Not its followers, just the concept), not because I'm Bi, I've been this way since about 10.

 

I'm a bisexual(though I prefer chicks) follower of the Native American Church

 

Don't make excuses for them.
Stupidity should be painful.
What is a religion without it's followers? Nothing. They're idiots, and IMHO worse than the people who dreamt all this crap up.

 

I am me! I am bi, I believe in a god actually I this he is rather a she. But that is udderly beside the point. I have faith in god, but not the bible. I believe it does hold some truths but I think it is guide lines for each person to find there way to god. It is no rule book that we must enslave our lives to following. Also I get so annoyed to hear people preaching about how the bible says it is wrong to be gay. I look at it like this okay the bible says god is the almighty he/she is flawless. I say god made me and my love, so for you to say my love is wrong you are saying god made a mistake. So who is the bigger sinner per say, the bi guy who follows his heart and loves as god made me or the person who is questioning what god created.

Every person reads the same thing differantly
so how about we all just love and accept each other no matter what our differences are

 

how about we get rid of all this ridiculous shit that's spewing out hate all over the place.
Honestly I don't see how your any better than nazis.
All problems, including homosexual assault come back to a cause.
The pastor who says it is evil to be gay is at least partly to blame for the murder and abuse that goes on. And he gets it from his "bible", it's a sickening book and a sickening religion.
I don't agree with letting people get away with this kind of stuff just for the sake of being "uber-liberal" and "loving everyone". Some things are wrong and MUST be fought.

 

i dont have a religion, but i grew up in the one that has no hate at all despite it's against homosexuality (Baha'i' Faith, check it out), so i grew up with more tolerance of different people than most other kids that i know. i'm on a journey of personal spirituality with God whether you believe in...whatever it is or not ^-^; i've met hateful people who call themselves "Christian", and i've met wonderful kind and accepting people who are truly Christians. i say truly because they follow their faith with no hate towards what they're against, and i've been accepted by them despite who i am. i could never ask for more. all i can say is, be careful to judge ALL Christians because they might not even be "Christian" despite their label. anyone who's a truly religious and follows their faith has love for all, even for those who they don't agree with.

 

I'm bi but it's totally against my religion, so I don't act on it and try to live as celibate as possible

 

Bi Agnostic.
Raised Catholic. But that's annoying bull.

 

No matter, we are just visitors here. Im trying to be happy as much as I can even its difficult sometimes.
