I have not really encountered this because Im not out, but its these comments that you hear that has made be so against religion, not wanting anyone to take offence to this is just my personal opinion. Religion is an institution ran to control people and to maintain a traditional society, it creates war and hate, and yes there is good aspects to religion but the negative parts make me angry. I don't know if I believe in god or not, have not worked that out yet but religion for me is something I don't believe in anymore.
Maybe He did, maybe He didn't. I'm inclined to believe that if there is a God, homosexuality is not a "mistake" per se, because there would no reason to simply prevent homosexuality from existing outright. But the idea that it is some kind of "test" is no consolation at all.
It depends a little on my mood and the person who makes the claim. If I'm in the mood to piss them off I just tell them that I don't believe in God. If this doesn't throw them off then I proceed to play by their rules. 1) If God intended people to be straight then he pretty obviously fucked up. It's not gays' fault if God didn't do a good job. 2) Who cares what God intended about marriage. Even if there is God who is to say that anyone has to obey him. We have free will. 3) Fine, so Satan made gays. Is that fault of the gay people?
God doesn't exist. It was created by normal folks like you and me, and so is the concept of heterosexuality.
hey he made a point.... what god are you talking about? why is your god the real one and not the other´s? if i had to behave following god´s rules which one should i choose? odin? gaia? budah? ala? Lono? modimo?
I'd ask, "How do you know what God really wants, are you two in contact?" And I also like the existence argument - why would we be around if allegedly God doesn't want us?
If someone would say something like that to me to let me know they think being gay is wrong, I'd probably say something along the lines of 'I don't care what your God thinks, I'm gay and happy about it so fuck off'. Seriously, I think it is pretty rude to say any of the things mentioned in the first post of this thread to a gay person to let them know you disapprove of them, so I'd probably not even try to sugar coat my reaction to such a comment.
Not everyone agrees, but some say god creating everything in this world and that he doesn't make mistakes. Gay people are in this world-God doesn't make mistakes- God intended it to be this way. Personally I'm not religious so I don't have too big of an opinion but theres mine, and if someone came up to me saying "being gay is wrong, god didn't make gay people" i'd probably tell them to f**k off, no but satan did, or no, he just created you ignorant pricks
Satan is a christian fabrication used to control people by fear and brainwash it's sheeple...it seems to be working pretty well for this guy.
If God intended people to be straight, then why is there a gay couple in the Bible? Where are you getting your information from? Genesis? Adam and Eve were created to populate the Earth. And, also, a man/woman couple sinned first. Remember that. *shrugs* Better than being made by your God who, according to you, doesn't accept anything different than cis and straight.
Honestly there is nothing About God To my knowledge that states two people of the same sec can't be together People are always going to be homophobic unfortunately All people Got the right to love who they wants and no one can tell them otherwise
I'm heterosexual, the way God intended it to be. "I can fix that for you. ;D" God intended marriage to be between a man and woman. "Look how many fucks I'm giving. " *Hold out an open hand.* God didn't make gays. They're made by Satan. "I can do as I please with my half of the humans don't you yell at me, me and him made a deal!" Or "Yeah sorry, bro. Didn't mean too let them out so soon, I was gonna let them out after this whole "End of the world" thing happened you know? But meh so is live." ^-^
If God wanted everyone to make everyone straight there wouldn't be gay people. Anyone who used religion as an excuse for gay bashing is pretty ignorant.
When they talk badly about you being gay they aren't listening to what god said which I think is to love your neighbor as much as yourself and to treat them nicely. Also if they say god meant for us to be hetero then why are there gays hmm? And if they say that I am evil I would say "For being attracted to someone with the same chromosome instead of a barely different one? Seems pretty reasonable! *sarcasm*" Finally if they say "Being gay is a choice" I would say "Alright.. can you swap your sexual attraction and romantic orentation?"
