Pray Away the Gay

... you've got several contradictory ideas in here.
#1 You say you do agree with scripture and that God knows how He feels about gays, but than you follow that up with: I do not know of a place in scripture that gives me the right to condemn them.
Hmmm, I know of one. Can someone throw G-C a chapter and verse please.
#2 If God knows how He feels about gays --- see above reference --- than explain why you wrote: ...they are human beings created by God. You see the contradiction don't you??
#3 You write: I'm not like a lot of christians who would deny gays their rights in our society, but than you follow that up with this: I will say that I do not believe they have the right to marry, it goes against how God feels about that sort of thing

First of all I'm not looking for points that's no way to live a life, second I'm not hideing any hatred for gays, my christian ethics are to love all people.
#1 Yes, I'm correct in what I say, as far as I know God has given me no rights to condemn gays. That is God's right because He is the creator. Why don't you throw out the verse?
#2 If you are implying that God created them as gays I'm going to have to disagree with you, there is scripture to what I say, such as God created men and women for each other not man for man and woman for woman. You must realize that God hates their actions and the thoughts of their hearts, He does not hate them.
#3 Again I'm correct in what I've said, God calls it unnatural and I see it the same so I can not see allowing gays to marry. This is how I view this, you must have a license to operate a automobile, a license to be a doctor or nurse, a license to build a home, a license to own a business and ect. these are all privileges and the same applies to marriage and most people in this country do not see that gays should have this privilege and neither does God. As for all the above privileges and more gays are able to have them and be a productive part of our society.
Your right I could have chosen #2 but that doesn't tell everything I feel. Even though I would feel uncomfortable I would welcome gays into my church, not as members that would be against God's will, it is a right they all have just as it's my right, given to us by our constitution.

The verse is Leviticus 20:13 ...they must be put to death ... Killing someone is condemning them. You see, your god did indeed give you the right to condemn them.
That's not exactly what I was addressing though. I addressed YOUR views, not the Bible's per say. You still did not address (explain) any of the contradictions that you initially made. In fact, you have only bolstered those contradictions with this reply.

Do you understand? You can't have it both ways, and if you'll read my hidden remarks above, you seem to want it both ways. Either your god loves homosexuals and allows them into heaven or he hates them and condemns them to hell.
It would be a far more respectable action for you to just pick a side instead of all this contradictory rhetoric. "Gays should have all rights ... Gays shouldn't have the right to get married" You See??

on a side note: I find it interesting that none of the Muslims on our forum have cast a vote in the poll.

I kinda get it though ... It's gotta suck to be embarrassed of the bigotry your religion openly touts for other peoples.

It's difficult to sell god's love when the book He wrote tells you to kill gay people.
