Religion and LGBTQ+ Rights

“long as they aren't hurting them! Gay rights are HUMAN RIGHTS!!!”

Don't get me wrong, I support same sex marriage. However, I believe that if Religious services don't want to serve them, they don't have to.

Well, I can't speak for all religions, but in the case of Christianity, you shouldn't turn people away from God. He loves all of his children, even the those in sin, and you are doing more harm than good by discouraging them from having a relationship with God. As someone who has always been gay, I loved going to church and I still believe that I have a strong connection with God. However, I don't understand why other Christians turn people like me away. It may be a sin, but everyone sins, and God already knows what we will do. Also, if you have your own beliefs about the LGBTQ…  Read more+ community, you do not need to accept us; that is not what we are saying. However, you should respect us as individuals. As stated in one of the Ten Commandments respect your neighbor, we should not allow politics and the opinions of others to corrupt us as a community; instead, we should unite and set aside our differences.

Churches have a duty to speak the Truth of God's Word, without respect to the orthodoxies of fashionable opinion. The TRUTH is that God has condemned homosexuality as a moral abomination, and as such, Churches have a duty to preach that. God commands you to turn from your sin. You are 100% right that he still loves you, but that does not mean that you are given permission to sin, nor that all other persons ought to be forced to accept or even celebrate your immoral choices. I hope sincerely you will one day repent.

I don't care about God. I don't care about the Bible. It's a bunch of fictional nonsense written to control, suppress free thought, and kill joy. God genocided almost the entire Earth once, including innocent children. God murdered a man for pulling out. The omnipotent God unleashed suffering on innocent Egyptians rather than simply solving things peacefully. This is not a God of love, this is a God of hatred, pain, and oppression. God has done all of these terrible things and he wants to dictate how consenting adults may love each other "unnaturally", what a frivolous thing to do when homosexuality occurs in nature. The concept of original sin is the same concept as karma used to punish people for things they never did, establishing an unfair hierarchical society.

Can you find proof that the Bible is fictitious? I want to see that.
