Why are Christians obsessed with Gay people?

Meh, I don't think we need to stoop to the level of wishing death on a person.

Apparently you hadn't heard of Robertson until a few days ago. That useless, reactionary piece of shit has been dumping his bigotry and superstition on this country for decades in the name of Jesus, while raking in a fortune. I won't shed a single tear over his death when it finally comes, any more than I did over Falwell. He won't be missed.

But if it makes you feel better to take the high road over someone who would as gleefully shit on the Catholics as any atheist, knock yourself out.

And I don't wish death on any of you guys, either lol.

Not alone did he use people's gullibility to enrich himself, he also literally defrauded them, setting up a fake charity in order to fund the shipping of blood diamons out of the Congi (then Zaire).

But then again, anyone with any knowledge of the rcc would know that they're no strangers to fraud either.

No, never heard of the 700 club. I did look up pat robertson last night. Looks like he was a southern Baptist minister who had his own TV show. Never watched it. I have heard of Joel Osteen and seen hiM on TV while channel surfing, but never stopped to watch that, either.

I've often thought that Joel Osteen looks just like Butthead from Beavis & Butthead.

If anything, I would say gay ppl have less culpability for their sexual sins than straight ppl do. All us straight ppl need to do is wait until we're married and not have sex with anyone else besides our spouse. That's nothing at all compared to what is asked of gay folks. Gay folks are expected to not only never do anything sexual ever, but also to give up the idea of a loving life long relationship with a significant other and have a family. That's a lot to ask of someone, and so i have nothing but compassion and understanding for you.

It would probably help by not calling gay people's attraction for each other a "sin."

Also looks like if you tried to pull Tim Allen's face to the back of his head.

Pretty much this:

Gay bashing is guys going, 'I hate you 'cause you're a fag, and you're a queer, and you're kind of attractive, and I'd like to fuck you, but I'm in the closet, so I'll just beat you up and jerk off in my Trans Am on the way home.'  - Bobcat Goldthwait

Late? Since when?

Didn't he die a couple of years ago? For some reason I seem to remember reading that he caught the last train a while back.

Maybe you're thinking of Falwell.  Falwell is indeed taking a dirt nap.

We don't think their attraction to others is a sin.

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

The sin of lust in the christian sense does not mean attraction. You can look at another woman who is not your wife, find them attractive, and go on about your day. Or you can look at that woman and start undressing her in your mind, fantasising about having sex with her, and essentially reducing her to a sexual object in your perception. The latter is what we consider sinful. Not the former.
