actually SNK
the Bible does mention that homosexuality is a sin, and not only acting on it, but the mindset itself is a sin
"just as a woman should not lie with an animal, a man should not sleep with another man"
the Bible teaches that sin doesn't begin when you act upon it, it begins when you start thinking of it

Well then the bible contradicts itself, it also says Jesus loves everyone, so by that statement, jesus hates me eh?

no Jesus still loves you and will forgive you if you repent of your sins and turn a new leaf(so to speak)

You misread the bible's message entirely. I don't care what you people think of me, I'm not ashamed of who I am, why is it an issue with you? How does someone being gay affect your life at all?

i don't agree entirely with the Bible sometimes
but one thing you can be sure of, SNK, is that i -dont'- misread the Bible
i attended Christian Seminars and Theology classes, and i'm a regular Church, Youthgroup goer
i've heard many different versions of the Bible, and slightly varied translations...and they all agree on one thing, that homosexuality is a sin
Jesus doesn't hate sinners, he hates sin...if you repent to him, he will open your gate to heaven, which doesn't mean he hates you if you don't...just as a parent that loves his or her child very much....that parent still has to let the child make his own choice, even if the child ends up in prison, the parent still loves him

I don't care what you people think of me, I'm not ashamed of who I am, why is it an issue with you? How does someone being gay affect your life at all? Then why this thread? Why even let people know you are a bisexual? And Dark Lobo, you Bible argument has no value when it comes to SNK. If he's an atheist, than what the fuck does the Bible mean to him? And you can't take the Bible too literally, as it is more like a book of morality and values you are supposed to live your life by, not a true historical account of the world. Rain, you sound like you might have gone to my school. I attended a Catholic elementary school, and we had religion classes every day. And you are correct about what the bible says about homosexuality. I am strongly against homosexuality for many reasons, but I find the bible to low on my reason list. I think the Bible is a book of fables and stories meant to tell people how to be moral. And I think the Catholic church is a crock (funny coming from a Catholic, huh?).

Like I said, even though I'm against it, I have no problem with others' choice of lifestyle. You're right, how does it affect my life? It doesn't, that's why I don't really care. And I choose not to discuss the morality and "pros and cons", if you will, about being gay. I feel that it may start some giant debate, and to be quite frank, I don't think it's anyone's business. You wanted to start this thread to find out what the ratio was of straight to bi to homo, but that wasn't really any of your business. But I said if people want to post on this thread and make their sexual preference the business of others, that's their prerogative. I choose to decline.

Your right - it isn't my business, that's why I made it a poll, it's completely anonomous. I wouldn't even had said what I was until SMD asked.

Plus you were the first person to vote, lol. Yeah, I probably shouldv'e waited, but anyways, why don't we call a truce, and we both stop bitching? Also let's Ban Lobo from this thread until he's not a closeminded idiot.

Let me see, where to begin.
TheDarkLobo, you dont understand HOW MUCH I HATE FLAMMING!!! And to see you do it to one of our best posters and a real cool person just pulls my strings harder, so for the time being, you will be banned.
All the rest of you, I swear to the good Lord above that if I hear ONE MORE WORD about SNK, or anyone elses lifestyle in any sort of negative way, you get double what TheDarkLobo gets. Im not even fucking kidding.
And last, but CERTAINLY not least this thread will stay CLOSED and FOREVER CLOSED!!!
