Its not a claim when its who you are Colonel? What if hypothetically we lived in a society where homosexuality was the norm and babies were genetically made by donors. All people were with people of the same sex and you wanted to be with women? How would you feel? What if that societies holy books or moral state banned being "gay" as the definition would be in that culture? How would you feel? oppressed? angry? upset? How would you feel when you told your parents this and they rejected you? You become a social outcast? Put yourself in someones shoes and walk a mile before you claim to finish the marathon. My friend you are among those who give us Christians and conservatives a bad name. You claim much, but support little, there should be no issue with a loving homosexual couple as long as they live morally? I hope that if Jesus, Mohammed, or Buddha was alive today, they would be upset you interpret religion so.
The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:31
the bible says homosexuality is wrong. end comment.
however, HATING ON HOMOSEXUALS IS WRONG.
you can tell them that, "The Bible says homosexuality is wrong" but it MUST BE SAID IN A RESPECTFUL, KIND WAY.
