Do they know you think its immoral and they will go to Hell?
Yes, in fact one of them has a Christian woman sharing his home and she has told him the same thing.
Poor guy
2) The reason why the repressed, self-loathing gays attack other gays is because they have been taught that who they are is wrong.[/quote]Prove it.
Its common sense. Prove me wrong.
It is not common sense and the burden of proof is on the one making the allegations.
You yourself said that gay-on-gay violence is because of the attacker being self-loathing. Usually, a gay person is self-loathing if he is raised in a Christian household that tells him homosexuality is wrong.
How many Christian Churches have you visited?
I attend one.
One out of over 100,000 in the United States alone, not that sure gives you the right to judge us all doesn't it?
I dont recall saying all Christian churches are bigoted. There are some progressive, tolerant ones. But you dont like tose?
You criticise the media for showing gays in a positvive light, which has probably lowered the homophobia. You believe if gays do not repent they go to Hell. You believe if Jews, Muslims, Wiccans, or anyother religion out there does not convert to Christianity they will go to Hell. The administrator of this board posts messages saying ALL Muslims hate Jews and connects them to Nazis and Hitler.
You ignored this
You stand in the way of gays trying to get rights and be accepted (there are still places that will not hire you for being gay.)Sure Churches and private businesses where the owner is not under EPA guidelines. But this is a lame excuse. I have never met a gay man or lesbian woman who was fired for being gay. And I know thousands of gays in 5 states.
How about the military?
And just because you havent seen it happen doesnt mean it doesnt happen. There are still states that lack anti-discrimination laws, so a person can legally refuse to hire someone on the basis of being gay
Islam also teaches that those who don't accept Islam will go to hell.
Of course. And like Christianity, not all believe in that.
You did not do an Internet search did you? I can tell since what you posted about lesbians being at lower risk for STD's is false.
I did, actually.

One part says, "Lesbians may be at lower risk for STDs but that does not mean that we should not take precautions." Which is true.May be at lower risk, does not translate to are at lower risk. [/i]

"For women, heterosexual contact has thehighest level of risk for HIV infection."
If you have read other threads on this forum you will find where this has already been discussed and I posted links to sites that disprove you allegations, not just one line from one source.
There's another source
Prove me wrong in what I've said. People have used the Bible to condone slavery. People have used it to treat women as second-class citizens (it wasnt so long ago that when a man married a woman she became his property. People have used it to condone tying women to stakes and setting them on fire. People have used it to deny giving women the right to vote. If you have read the Bible and compared its instructions regarding women with contemperary cultures you will find Jewish women had more freedom and responsibility than women in other cultures.
They still had low freedom.
Christians have never taught women were chattles, but Islam does, as do some Eastern religions.
No.
Once a woman married a man, she essentially became his propery with little rights of her own.
The Salem Witch trials were an anomally, not the rule
Then explain the verses saying 'though shall not suffer a witch to live.'
and it is a custom in India for women to throw themselves on their husbands funeral pyre. Women were denied the right to vote in many cultures and still are in some countries today.
Yes. And when women wanted to vote here, it was the Conservative Christians who opposed them. But ours is a secular government, not a religious one.
Have you read the Bible's instructions on owning slaves? The entire world including all religions practiced slavery. God knows human nature and set up rules that governed how slaves should be treated.
If he said "Though shall not do slavery" a lot of people would have stopped.Who do you think you are kidding?
Many people used the fact that slavery was condemned to mean that it was moral and acceptable.
What you have failed to post or acknowledge is that it was Christians who abolished slavery in every civilized nation on this planet and the only people group that still practices slavery are Muslims.
As you know, the South is more conservative and religious than the North.
The North had to go to war with the South to free the slaves. The South did not do it willingly.
Both Islam and Christianity condone slavery. The only difference is, we live in a secular government so religion doesnt have as much power influencing the laws. There are progressive, liberal Muslims trying to make a change, but the right is in their way.
Southern slave owners used the Bible to justify slavery. Northern Christians opposed the practice.
Yes. The South is more conservative, and the North is more liberal. Liberal Christians condemned slavery, Conservative Christians favored it.
Furthermore, it's mostly the Conservative/Fundamentalist Muslims who hate Jews. Liberal and Progressive Muslims mostly dont (its usually the Liberal and Progressive branches of any religion who are more acceptiong and tolerant). I've actually seen some Jewish-Muslim couples. And saying that all Muslims hate Jews and that they're connected to the Nazis and Satan is only going to lead to more prejudice and hate.Agan you are posting ignorant assumptions. Have you read the Qu'ran or what their prophet instructs should happen to people who don't convert to Islam?
What assumptions? I've posted facts; there have been Muslims who accept Jews, and there have been Jewish-Muslim couples.
Yes, the Qu'ran says that. The Bible says the same thing about 'nonbelievers.'
If you check out the topic I made in the Islam/Christianity forum, I've given several examples of Jews and Muslims getting along together. And Christianity has also advocated the stoning of people. Once again, your blanket-statements of all Muslims being this way is very ignorant. As I said, only the Fundamentalists believe in the stuff like that.[/quote]You keep saying your, the fact is most Middle East Arabs would not hesitate to eliminate Israel.
Those that dont are afraid to speak out for fear of persecution for the fundamentalists. And the Israelis arent all kind either. There are tales of Jewish-Muslim couples being scoffed at by both sides.
http://www.freep.com/news/nw/qmarry12.htm Both sides are hostile.
Arabs who live in other regions are just as bad in their persecution of Christians.
Perhaps they're angry about how all the Christians massacred their people.
Have you read any of the other threads on this forum? If not then I suggest you do before you continue your irrational and hate filled rant against people you don't know.
You're doing the same thing to Muslims.
For instance have you read Homosexuals Opposed to Gay Extremism? If you think you are the first obnoxious gay to post to this board you are wrong. And you will not be the last, but you will conduct yourself with proper decorum and respect for others opinions or you are history
Start respecting people who are different first.
