Is it wrong to be unwilling to tolerate hate?

[maerdi]

How about lies and propaganda? Refusing to believe our best scientific knowledge? Using religion to force your own agenda even when many members of your religion disagree with said agenda?

I'm not generally one for shutting down speech, but I'm up for speaking out against http://silencingchristians.com/. You can take a non-scientific,

Matthew Shepard? How many straight children have been molested and murdered by homosexuals like you? A lot. How many Christians have been assaulted by homosexuals like you because you didn't like the way they voted? A lot. How many Christian churches have been burned down by homosexuals like you because you disagree with the Holy Bible? A lot. Matthew Shepard is in eternal hell fire now and will never get out.
Whatever you think, you will not be able to change God's Word and will one day have to pay the price for not believing what God has written.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Romans 1:22-27

V22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, V23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

V24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

V25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, Who is blessed for ever. Amen.

V26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

V27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life. http://www.armyofgod.com

Really? Really?.

More good stuff from Leviticus, since you're into that.

V3:17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.

V11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you

V11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
V11:8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

V19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

I'm sorry, revspit, but you are mistaken. I am not (to my knowledge) a homosexual, I'm just someone who believes that it's wrong to write discrimination into our laws. I'm someone who thinks it's wrong for religious organizations to lie to their congregations and to the world in order to further their agenda (though I see nothing wrong with them quoting scripture at their services or in public places. Of course, I wish they would emphasize the parts of scripture that say that murder is a sin and we should help and love our fellow man rather than beat them and leave them for dead just because we don't like their sexual practices).

I'm someone who knows a lot of gay individuals, and all the ones I know are kind and spend their lives trying to be the best people they can be here on earth. None of them (to my knowledge) has molested children (that would be pedophilia, by the way, not homosexuality), assaulted Christians, or burned down Churches. It's sad that those things happen and I'm sorry that those things have happened, but it's incorrect to claim that they are part of a "gay agenda" or to believe that all gays support those activities. In fact, none of the gay people I know have ever tried to take away any rights from Christians. It seems to me that they are doing a better job of "doing unto others" and "loving thy neighbor" than many Christians in that particular realm.

I don't know how you came by this journal, but I doubt you will find much support for your arguments here.

Also, best of luck adhering to the following verses, which can be hard to follow in our modern times:

Leviticus 19:27 "You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard."

Leviticus 11:8, which is discussing pigs, reads "You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you."

Leviticus 19:19 "You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together."

Mark 10:11-12, "And He said to them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.'"

1 Timothy 2:9 "Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments."

Leviticus 11:10 "But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you."

Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity."

I don't know of any documented instances of gay activists burning churches. Your friendly visitor is probably thinking of this incident, and forgetting the difference between fact and paranoid fantasy.
