By this rationale, God is apparently down with murder, rape and other self-absorbed pursuits. He intended for us to kill one another huh?

So the rest of us, as citizens, have no right to dictate how the behaviors of these people affect our soceity? We need not be concerned about the deterioration of values, the proliferation of drugs and STDs? Care to look at the per-capita figures for gays vs. straights? Methinks no.

I have one gay friend, who is in the 2% minority of gays who avoid that which I find disgusting about gays. Drugs, STDs, disrespect for values, etc. Even he is repulsed by the shit he sees on a daily basis (no pun intended http://www.hostboard.com/forums/) You're off-track.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>I'm guessing that in the overall scheme of things, God doesn't really give a hamster's ass about human sexuality. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
You'd be guessing wrong. Had He not given a hamster's ass, he wouldn't have first created a penis, with all of it's appointments, and THEN created the vagina, along with its appointments. They are functionally co-dependent.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>While He might get pissed about rape, whether it be a man raping a woman or another man, I doubt that He spends much time worrying about what consenting adults do amongst themselves. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I don't think He worries either. In the end, He'll drop-kick deserving nimrod's asses accordingly. The goal is to be a self-governing society, I think that's what He'd have hoped for. Gays don't bring that to the table.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>And since, IMO, homosexuality is not a choice but is innate, then God has no one to blame but Himself for its existence.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Then you and I disagree on this point. If you look at the background of gays, you'll note strife and family issues from an early age. Or you'll note manipulation by others. In any event, it is a choice in my mind. Further, whether by choice or by birth, homosexuality is not a license to carry on in a manner that is diametrically-opposed to soceity's interests. Drugs, diseases, and promiscuity to that degree were never okay by society, or God himself.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>The way I understand Christianity works is that you can be the most promiscuous, hedonistic drug user ever known, but as long as you confess, repent, and accept Christ, you still get to go to Heaven. I'd bet the same applies to queers. So I'm not really sure of what the impact is of doing something that God may not have intended, since everyone, regardless of how evil he/she may have been here on Earth, can enter His kingdom by simply saying a last-minute apology. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
In some respects, it is unfortunate that this is the case, no? (Orenthal, Manson, Ray Lewis, et. al.)
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>If God is indeed fair, I fail to see how someone like, say, Hitler, could have the potential to get into Heaven by repenting and accepting Christ after all the shit he pulled, while decent, law-abiding, non-murderous Christian homos might be denied entry regardless of whether they repented, simply because they were gay. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I don't disagree. The notion of earning your way is thrown out the window. And for that I really don't have an answer. I only have opinions about what we as humans can control on our own, here on the ground. Living our lives in proper moral fashion, caring for the betterment of society, etc. Homosexuals have no interest in doing these kinds of things, as evidenced by their behavior. If you reject my characterization of these people, I suggest you take a trip to West Hollywood some night, and just visit a few clubs. You'll quickly come to realize just how amoral and anti-culture these hedonists are, and you might even stop making excuses for them. Maybe http://www.hostboard.com/forums/
