10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"

Quote From: oet_gaol

You say:  

"Who am I to say that homosexuality is right, when God makes it pretty clear that it is not right? 

  

with that sentence you say I don't have to think about the issue. It was god's choice so I'll defend it. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY don't hide behind religion. 

  

About those stories yes they are older then judaïsm some date back to the times of babylon and the ancient egyptions.  

  

And about jesus those stories where actually written down centuries after he lived hence my story about the gossip  And to support this why is it told he lives around 0 AD while most scientist think he lived around 30 AD or how come that cristmas, the birth of christ falls together with a paigan fest (celebrating the return of the light if I'm not mistaken but could be wrong.) And that many christian fests fall together with a paigan celebration. It wasn't because it actually happened there but it was because they wanted to "kill" the paigan believe system. 

  

Yes but Can an entire world I ask (wether it is Judaïsm Islam or Cristianity) because whatever you believe the "others" have it wrong so they where in effect brainwashed by the devil or what you want to believe. 

  

And a holy book can be interpreted in many different ways so let's take a step back and look at the Koran for instance. In the koran it says woman should cover their body well no it says they should cover their hair mouth and nose well no it says they should cover their hair well no it says that women look better if they cover their hair and some say that even that cannot be read in the Koran so it's all about interpretation. 

  

In the netherlands there was a row within the church because a priest said that homosexuality was a disease. The other priests corrected him, in the Netherlands the priests say homosexuals do have a place in the world according to god. They also defend the use of condoms. So they just interprit the teksts differently and according to what the current modern society needs. 

  

And you ask sort of why I don't believe in god well for one i find my religion in adifferent form of religion wich doesn'tinvolve a god after life or what ever my reasons are simple. 

  

I was raised as a roman catholic yet as I grew up I saw that science has pretty much taken down many thruths in the bible. 

  

The vatican does not want to change it's view and erodes the bible even further 

  

I disagree with many of the vaticans views 

  

The vtican has been for centuries about might and money instead of god and you are all using the bible which has been kept by this institution for many centuries. 

  

I do not believe god would let us go ahead and kill his creation (global warming, extinction of species ect.) 

  

I do not believe I want to worship a god who does not settle the dispute on which religion is the true one 

  

I do not believe a god would let the distinction of rich and poor continue 

  

I do not believe a god tkaes away mothers and fathers from their young children. 

  

I rather believe that their isn't a god then to believe their is a cruel one. 

 I am not hiding behind religion.  I am posting scriptures and examining them.  How is that hiding?  If anyone is hiding, it's those who do not respond to the scriptures that are being posted.   Most are saying they are Christians, so I don't understand.

Actually, the first books of the Bible are the oldest written accounts known to man (though there is some debate that the Sumerian writings came first)   In any case, the writings go even beyond the Egyptian and Babylonian eras as well.

The accounts of Jesus were not originally written down centuries after his death.  They were all written within that same generation.  Matthew example, was written by the apostle Matthew - same guy who followed Jesus around during his ministry.  There are non Biblical sources as well to confirm the existance of Christ.

I don't follow the Koran. 

We shouldn't be interpretting the scriptures according the the times we live in.  God is the same, yesterday today and forever. 

If you want to talk science, please go to Should we teach creationism in schools under News and Current events and we can discuss it in depth. 

I'm not Catholic and don't follow the vatican views.  My only source of truth is the Bible.

Yes, I share your views. 

I think that religion and its various intepretations have caused most if not all turmoils in the world.
