Defense of Gay Marriage From a Christian Worldview

Because as it is right now, atheists, homosexuals and garden-variety seculaists are driving us into little ghetto's where we lose our numbers to seduction and fear.

God will protect you. You do have the objective truth in your new testament afterall.

The issue is with homosexuals that want to recruit (seduce) our children into homosexuality. With the Gay Agenda, there can be no dissent from being introduced to homosexuality. AT ANY AGE!!!

I think you're confusing gay people with Christians. The people who go around recruiting children into their lifestyle are called "Christians."

You're observation and opinion is not correct. Christians cannot "introduce" children to the Gospel in schools. Homosexuals have a free pass to indoctrinate at will. Also, no one can oppose them and their recruitment efforts as they do anything a Christian says and does.

Also, with listening and choosing a Christian life and lifestyle, there is hardly the chance to contract a sexually tramsitted disease. And debauchery is extremely rare within a Christian moral life. In a gay prde event it is a main part.

And certainly, when pederasty happens in Christian places (homosexual sex with young men), it is not protected by civil rights activists like it is when "introducing children" into homosexuality in the public, education and secular sphere is.

There's a reason why the LGBT's use the term "questioning youth." That's just about every one of them they demand access to. Christians and others can no longer keep these gay activists from their children because of this paradigm of phobia, hatred and bullying that LGBT's have propagandized into the popular culture.

Correctness through sarcasm. A broken clock you're snide comments.

Even the demons know Jesus is Lord.

99: I'm sure there is nothing I would say that would penetrate the complete thought circle in your own mind consisting of bigotry, prejudice, religious superstition, fear of difference and an apparent lack of humor.

I do however, encourage you to continue to post your hate-filled screeds to the internet, as every one drives people away from your belief system. Good job.

So the Muslims are your god's answer to liberal abominations. Interesting theory. Does that mean your they got it right and you got it wrong?

I also don't need to bash Christianity. You are doing a splendid job of displaying how a religion that is apparently based on love is by the overly zealos so easily transformed to one where everything circles around hatred. I am sure Jesus would be proud of you.

Muslims make like 0.6-0.8% of the US population I am sure they will overtake us and force their values on us any day now.

Maybe you should buy a gun (as a good Christian you probably already own one) and go to the next zoo and shoot all Bonobos. With all the gay Bonobos god surely made a mistake and you ought to end them.

Discrimination has no place in the laws of our nation, especially discrimination based on religion. Gay rights are human rights guaranteed by the constitution, and they should not be taken away by anyone.

I can come up with several ways Christians could defend gay marriage.

• We live in a secular society and should not push personal views on others. People should chose their religion instead of being forced to follow into the rules of one.
• Christians have already been though the "interracial marriage is ungodly" arguments fifty years ago. Do they want to play the same game again with the same arguments again and have it turn out the same way? Just look ahead and realize in the end, Christianity will do what it did for interracial marriage. It will claim that it was never denied in the Bible and past Christians misinterpreted the Bible.
• Stop being salad bar theists. Why is the sin of homosexuality worse than the sin of sloth or gluttony? We don't see Christians kicking fat or lazy people out of church. Why focus the hate on just one type of sinner? Why aren't Christians protesting outside of Red Lobster shouting at people to stop the abomination?
• Realize that gay marriage is not in the Bible. All that could be pulled out is some passages to kill gays and some commands not to be gay. So if you are not going to kill them and if you have decided not to be gay, then the Bible is silent on gay marriage. There is no passage like "Well, if you are not going to kill them, then don't let the ones living together call their union marriage."
• Realize that a Biblical view of marriage is now what conservatives and preachers say it is. The Biblical view of marriage involves rapists marrying their victims, killing women who have premarital sex and having sex with your slaves. It is not the romanticized "Leave It to Beaver" or "The Brady Bunch" marriages.
• Reinterpret the Bible to fit modern society. Say that the Old Testament stuff was just for the Jews and not for Christians. Say the New Testament stuff was misinterpreted. The stuff about man lying with man being against nature could mean that straight people should not act gay. Or it could mean that it is talking about pedophilia. Or it could mean not to do pagan orgies (if you read the context around it). Or it could mean that Paul was homophobic just like he was sexist and we should ignore him for those backwards views.

I see you watch FSTV and MSNBC. Cliche comebacks all in a row. Why not try to rebut my positions using the New Testament. THAT would be an academic rsponse sir. Not the leftie intimidation tactics.

After all, this thread is about the twisting machinations to justify the unjustifiable biblical position through a "Christian" perspective. As I'm sure even you know, gay goals exist outside of Christian life.

I do however, encourage you to continue to post your hate-filled screeds to the internet, as every one drives people away from your belief system. Good job.

You are entitled to your opinion of course. You know the addage about oinions I'm sure.

They are like replacements for real sex organs for the aberrant and deviant among us.
