Has anyone ever found a way to reconsile being Gay/Bi/Lesbien and being a Christian?

RE: Has anyone ever found a way to reconsile being Gay/Bi/Lesbien and being a Christian?
I think what Ryan is trying to say with the "what-if" scenario, is to demonstrate that arbitrary laws cannot possibly be, as you term it, righteous. The fact of the matter is that if the god you believe determines what is righteous is capable of changing its mind, then it could very well one day demand atrocities and simply name them as righteous. The crusades, for instance, or the inquisition.

Man did those things, sure, but the fact of the matter is that your god could make such things righteous, if what counts as righteous is merely what it decrees as such. Take the commands of god in the OT where he tells the Hebrews to rape, pillage, and slaughter surrounding lands. Atrocities and vileness, condoned as righteous because god said it was okay.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
