Yin- I'm glad we see eye to eye on that
saqwarrior- uhh my names Colton. And I thought everyone here was a little bit more mature than picking apart peoples religions. Don't get me wrong questioning them is great. Find out everything you can. Question everything you can and learn as much as you can. I just thought that remark was a result of an uneducated and ignorant mind. And i found it out of line. I'm not saying it's a crime or anything. Go ahead say whatever you want BRO. Watch your tone though

By definition you are a bigot. Just saying...
a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion is the definition of a bigot.
You are intolerant of anyone with a different belief or opinion than what you believe, this is evident when one has been on forums like this as long as I have.

I was for a long time a "christian", the whole deal, believed Jesus Christ was my lord and savior, the works. As I grew older however, I started to see the lies, the hypocrisy, and hate the church taught others. I drifted from it, learned to hate the words in the book and spoken in the buildings. I saw the evil it caused and the evil done. So I launched into study of religion, I have read almost every religious book you can think of, and talked with the "scollars" any chance I could.
It all comes down to one thing, religion, is a control system, designed to keep the "sheep" in check.

Seriously, is this your first time on the internet? Telling people to watch their tone on a forum? What planet are you from, and what gives you the right to tell me what to do or how to speak?

Just so you understand where I am comming from...
I was for a long time a "christian", the whole deal, believed Jesus Christ was my lord and savior, the works.

I know quite a few folks much like yourself. I'm guessing the hatred of the church built over time because you had to hide you're sexuality and were not supported in any way on it... just told you were sick and had to change and god hates you... etc etc etc. Just guessing of course.

I find homosexuality wrong.
However, I would never try to convert you, consider you less of a person, or otherwise degrade you simply because you happen to be a homosexual.
It's your life, your choice, you have to live with it, not me.

lol, but actually you bring up a good point. many in AA and NA have turned to religion to find salvation and to help them cope with their addictions, and many turn out to be better people in the process. so there's good in that. if there's anything to be learned, i think it's like anything else, if you do something just do it right, cuz people always **** it up no matter what. we talk alot about how many holy wars are started because of the history behind it, but i actually think the world will end by scientists who finally found out how to make a black hole or re-create the big bang. ****ed up huh.

At least you did your own research and think for yourself. I can respect that. But every believer is not a puppet incapable of self thought. Just keep that in mind.

Tell the gay men in Iraq they should choose to be hetero instead. It's a lot easier than just staying gay and getting murdered. Those religious people are just trying to help the gays out.

Why accept people for who they are when we can just kill them instead?
EDIT: Back on topic, the bible is just an effing book. Why would you discourage reading a book? What bad could possibly come from reading the bible, Qur'an, Ādi Granth, or Jurrasic Park? Does it really make a difference?

That I guess is where I have my problem. See it was not a choice, not somthing I sat down and went "hey I want to be attracted to my own gender" it just was...from as early as I can remember, even back 3..4yo the feeling was there. Now at that age you don't have words or understanding for that feeling, but it was there.
