Why aren't the religious disgusted by all the divorcees amongst their ranks, or their consumption of pornography as evidenced by studies?
It's just that the straight ones find gay sex icky I think.
Love is love in my book; why would anyone or anything condemn it?

I've never condoned Christians using violence against people they dis agree with, and by the way the protestant church isn't a thousand years old.

I'll assume chasing people with a whip and vandalism remain OK.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

My daughter, a Lesbian wants to know:
If God is going to send her to hell for having a sexual relationship with her wife... then why shouldn't she kill every Christian she meets? Why shouldn't she steal from every church? Why shouldn't she blow up churches? Because by their logic, she should. After all, she's going to hell. Shouldn't she at least do something to get in Satan's Good graces, instead of being a good person on earth? If god's going to punish her for being a lesbian, she probably should just go out and do as much evil as possible so at least she'll feel she deserves it.
The simple answer is this, there is a God who loves her.

It's such a one-sided relationship, though; God never returns any of my messages.

Jehanne gives you kudos for not answering what about the age of the Protestant Church and Jesus never hurt anyone and was well within His right to chase those off who were defiling the temple, the House of God. You see that temple was His also.

It's because you haven't tried to communicate with God in the way He asks.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

The same argument could be made for why you haven't received messages from Odin.

I've never tried to speak to something that doesn't exist. I've received much from God and one thing He has made clear is there are no other gods, those who suppose there are are talking to wood and stone, silly people.

I don't know, G-C.
Seems like your boy jesus may have been on the down low.
Quote:51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
Mark 14
He would have already been suspect in that culture being 30 and not married.
