No I'm not and I know homosexuality

is not a religion. All I'm saying is that religion has become so controversial with more and more people who refuse God's teachings and do not want their kids exposed to it that God has been taken out of the schools. Well, homosexuality is just as controversial and not everyone accepts this lifestyle and certainly those who don't accept it do not want their children taught in school that homosexuality is okay. It is my job as a parent to talk to my child about this and teach tolerance but not acceptance and for the school to undermine my authority and teach acceptance of homosexuality, especially to children as young as 5, is just as bad as the school preaching about God to children when atheists don't want their kids hearing about God. They are both two very controversial subjects that should not be taught at school.

I find homosexuality
offensive. I do not deny that. I do not impose my beliefs on anyone. You may do as you choose. The homosexual community is trying to impose their way of thinking on the rest of the world. Have you been sleeping? I do not need your link about Sodom and Gomorrah. Lack of hospitality... What a hoot..
I believe homosexuality is wrong but for sm
goodness sake, I don't think the homosexuals are all by themselves responsible for someone stopping Bible study in a home.
I will tell you what has taken away our freedoms and that is, we as Christians, who have sat on our butts for too long and let our rights be taken away! We have not been proactive enough.
Geeze next you will be saying the illegals caused some idi** to want to stop Bible study in the home.
Again I think the lifestyle is wrong and a sin against God, Christianity and the Bible, but you are little paranoid don't you think?
Homosexuality is a sickness of the mind.

So now you're likening homosexuality..(sm)
to smoking dope and murder? What planet are you from?
So now you're likening homosexuality to ...(sm)
a crime. Beyond the obvious lunacy of your ideas, there is the fact that gays and lesbians are NOT treated equal by just putting them in a corner. They deserve the same rights as everyone else.
How about if we say that you can be a christian, but your religion willl not be recognized unless you live in a certain area? You cannot demonstrate your faith in any manner because children might see you and get the wrong impression. You can live with other christians, but you will not be afforded the same rights afforded to other communities. Does this sound fair to you?
Homosexuality is not about historicial facts...... sm
it is about theological facts. So that makes the Bible a relevant source since it is the gold standard for theology.
Seeing as homosexuality is not a religion - see message
It SHOULD be taught in schools as an accepted lifestyle. They teach sex education in school, safe sex, etc, why wouldn't they teach about homosexuality? Maybe if it was taught earlier on we wouldn't have so many hate crimes against the gay and lesbian people.
Christianity, Mormonism, Lutherans, Catholicism, Buddism, etc are all religions and DO NOT belong in the schools. That is why there are churches. Unless you send your child to a religious school there is no reason for religion to be taught in schools.
Christians (not all) do force their beliefs on non-believers. In the community I just moved from my aunt and uncle were huge church goers (aunt is secretary, uncle creates a flyer). They have bible studies at different peoples home two and three times a week. In those bible studies they say some prayers, and then they get out their map of the city to discuss who is going to work what area to knock on doors, and be in the stores to approach unsuspecting people who are not in the church and "push" their religion onto them. When we first moved to the community we were approached by a lady from their church, who approached us with questions about our beliefs. When we told her we prefer to keep our religious viewpoints to ourselves, she then stood and proceeded to tell us her faith was the right path to follow and she is doing the work of the Lord, blah, blah, blah. We kept trying to get away and not be rude, but she was holding our hands and proceeded to tell us if we didn't believe we were sinners and would blah, blah, blah (think you get the message). After she was through with us she then proceeded to corner some other "poor souls" and do the same thing to them. When we had someone come out to hook up our cable, he happened to be from their church and began to preach to us. Their whole purpose they said in their church service was to get everyone in the community to join their church and use whatever means they had to do it. I've listened to talk shows where the guest said his mission is to make everyone in American a "christian", and destroy the non-believers and other religions because their religion is the "wrong path to follow". So don't tell me they don't push their viewpoint on us and down our throat. Maybe you don't but a lot of others do.
Homosexuality was never allowed in ancient times
and it did not become a sin because the christians said it is a sin. It's written in the Bible and this I believe, because it is 'detestable', it is so written in the Bible:
' Below are some Bible verses that condemn homosexuality:
Leviticus 18:22 - You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 - If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death.....'
Plenty of non-religious folks that believe homosexuality
