Wasn't that Leviticus verse in the Old Testament? You know, the same book that says eating shellfish and cutting your beard is a sin?
I thought Christians followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, who obviously refuted a lot of the Jewish traditions in favor of more personal freedom and love for all humanity.
Jesus never said anything bad about gays... Least I don't think so...

A REAL Christian doesn't hate gays. We just see it as a lifestyle that should not be led. I'm a Christian and I have friends that are gay. I don't tease them or make fun of them but if they asked me what I thought about it I would tell that that I don't think homosexuality is all right. I still accept them as a person, I just think thy are making a bad decision. We can all make bad decisions.

Edited by Predator5791: 10/22/2014 5:01:25 PM[quote]Why do many Christians hate gays?[/quote]Don't know, we're commanded to love our neighbor. A Christian is a person who follows Christ. Are you following Christ when you hate your brother? If you then hate your brother, are you really Christian (following Christ)? [i]If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, [u]he is a liar[/u]; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.[/i] - 1 John 4:20 But don't get it twisted, refusing to support homosexuality =/= hatred. [quote]I thought Christians followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, who obviously refuted...[/quote]You can stop there... Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. [u]Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same[/u], shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven - [i]Jesus Christ[/i]

I don't hate gays, but I don't support them.
-
Because they want to put things in my rectum.
-
Because Christians are -blam!-ing weird and stupid.
-
It says being gay is a don in the bible
-
Sin not don lol
-
Because they can

Most Christians [i]don't [/i]hate homosexuals. Some might think it's not a great way to lead a lifestyle, but few actually openly oppose it. I have a few gay friends, one is even my cousin. I know that my friends also aren't opposed to homosexuality.

We don't hate gays. I think whatever you want is up to you. But it doesn't mean I have to be part of and/or like it. This doesn't mean I hate you, just that we believe differently.
-
A true Christian doesn't hate anybody... Your argument is invalid.
-
Because they putting dicks in places they should not be in
-
Better question: why do gays hate Christians? Lol... In fact, why do gays hate anything that doesn't agree with them? Better yet, why do liberals hate everything and person that disagrees with them?? Idk bro, take another hit.
-
I think, though I could be wrong, but I think it's just people in general all over the world regardless of their religion that are uncomfortable or hostile towards homosexuals.

“ ‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. ‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion. (Leviticus 18:22-23 NIV) For those who think the Bible is a fairytale, remember this: “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. (Matthew 10:32-33 NIV) I will not judge everyone on here. I will however encourage those to think about Matthew 10:32-33 when your day comes. I hope that one day you may realize that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. The term Christian is used very loosely these days and I apologize for negative interactions any of you may have had with other Christians. I will defend my faith because it is what I believe to be the truth. Homosexuality and Christianity is quite the topic of choice though. We were created to procreate as other mammals were. And procreation ends with homosexuality. [spoiler]Feel free to bash this post as I am sure a lot of people will. You are all entitled to your opinions, beliefs, and lifestyle choices as am I. [/spoiler] --side note-- I do not claim to be perfect. Nobody is (aside from Jesus). I have my faults, my sins, my transgressions, etc. I am just thankful that I have a Savior that knows that. Thank you.

Not all Christians just a vocal minority
-
A lot of "christains" just say they are christains. Being a Christians is more than just a label it is a lifestyle. Also the Christians you interact with on the internet and the media are a vocal minority

Homosexuals make me feel uncomfortable.

I see the Flood still has its heavy share of threads about Christianity and religion. I guess that's one thing that'll never change.

1. He killed a village of them so he did something to them I'm christian and I have a gay brother and I support gays in any and all ways.
-
Because they think it's a "sin" I just don't like em because it's repulsive.
-
I'm Catholic and I truly don't care of you are gay or straight or anything in between. It's not my business to judge a person based off of their sexual preference and honestly I doesn't even bug me. I really don't see why these religions make such a big deal out of it because it doesn't hurt anyone.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster compels them to.
