In san fransisco theres a protestant church thats especially for gays. I saw it on a reality t.v show called 30 days , and a straight protestant was debating with the gay pastor. The straight guy was firing bible veres at her ,and her only defence was "jesus loves every body". The defence was pretty sad.

If this is the case, how can so many fundies be anti-gay?
I'm inclined to agree with melbourne_gay, actually. If we're to believe the Xians, Jesus loves everyone, including paedofiles. I rather doubt that this gay pastor would therefore think that a paedophile church was a good thing.
I think that a church just for gays is the most ironic thing ever. It is like a courthouse where the criminals go to confess their crimes and get sentenced to eternal damnation.
I'm not against gays or anything. Let there be no mistake about that. But why would you ever follow a religion that literally says you should be killed?
And about the "Jesus loves everyone", I would like him (Jesus) to show this by using his allpowerful connections and remove a few lethal disseases.
See, there is a problem with both Christians and non-Christians using verses out of context to condemn certain behaviors.
THe popular "kill homosexuals" passage is in Leviticus, which also lays out several other ceremonial laws, rules, etc. In the NT, after Jesus' death and resurrection, the rest of the NT clearly states we are no longer under that type of law, but live under the grace of God.
The NT still says homosexuality is wrong, but so is gossip, slander, drunkeness, adultery, etc. So, while I don't condone the ACT of homosexuality, I also don't define people by their actions. The Bible also says ALL have sinned. Including me and you and everyone else. So yes, Jesus does love everyone, and if we love him in return, the rest of our actions will fall into place.
Everybody reads the bible selectively, you just have to find a verse that fits your purpose.
"Jesus loves everyone" vs "kill homossexuals", it just depends on what YOU want it to say.
The church has always relied on Leviticus to promote homophobia and anti-"insert non xian religion" while less conservative xians focus on Jesus' (supposed) messages of love.
What a guide book... leading believers to confusion, fear and hatred all because of... hmm... what's that now? Oh yeah, no reason at all.
THIS is pretty sad...
"No one who abides in him keeps on sinning, and anyone who keeps on sinning has neither seen him or known him"
"For now if we go on sinning delibratly after receiving knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for our sins. Just the expectation of judgement, and the fury of a fire that consumes its adversaries"
If you truly believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, then why would you continue to have homosexual sex? You are gratifying the desires of your flesh, thus you are not walking by the Spirit.
It's one thing to say I love Jesus and he loves me, but it's another thing to show Jesus that you love him. Stop having gay sex, and you'll show him.
Ohhhhh melbourne_guy (if he's from Melbourne, Australia that is) is not going to be happy.
From yesterday's Age:
'Oscar-winning animator Adam Elliot and partner Dan Doherty were one of the couples at yesterday's launch of Melbourne City Council's relationship register, the first in Victoria open to same-sex couples.'
Ha ha ha, not only do they have their own church - soon they will have the same rights as heterosexual couples!
who created GOD how do we even know GOD looks like a human or if it's a guy or a girl? what the hell is a guy and what the hell is a girl? we have organs that function, we have the knowledge, equations, that's why we have inventions that FUNCTION. humans have learned some partial material that enables us to use machines.. like say, A COMPUTER? where do you think all the knowledge of engineering sciences came from? HUMAN KNOWLEDGE. SCIENCE. FUCKING SCIENCE. WHY DO YOU ASSHIKES DENY THE TRUTH THAT THERE IS NO FUCKING GOD.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
