    I find people who quote the bible tend to pick and choose what verses they wish to be God's words in their lives. I noted in this article there was no mention of any of Christ's words on this. Maybe Desmond Tutu has more insi ...

    "Now concerning homosexual as a whole, the Bible considers it as a despicable immoral and unnatural sin"

    How did the Bible come to this conclusion? No one knows yet some people follow it blindly.

    "Corinthians 6:9-10, P ...

    They are not hurting anyone? YOU ARE A DAMN IDIOT.Thy are hurting the whole WORLD.How do homosexuals have sex? So you think it is OK to insert your penis in your friend's anus.Don't you know it is a health hazard?

  • Nick, USA 10 years ago

    Homosexuality is a despicable crime and it needs to be bound from society. It is immoral and selfishness. It is not natural, rather, it is a choice. Animals even don't behave like that.

    The 10 most sinful acts that guides church goers/nocturnal noise makers to stay away from are the ten commandments which includes thou shall not commit adultery and fornication. Surprisingly, the Whiteman's bible you quoted f ...

    Perhaps Christians need to get over themselves and understand that you aren't allowed to force your beliefs on to others.

    If you don't like gay marriage then don't get married to a gay person. Otherwise, leave them alone a ...

    I Didn't know that so many people were so ignorant about equality.

  • KOKI 10 years ago

    Equality about what? Stand the drug pusher, the corrupt politician, the man who sleeps with his own daughter on the same pedestal with the homosexual! Is that your definition of equality?

  • Sean 10 years ago

    No, my definition if equality is treating someone equally under the law regardless of their sexual orientation. Homosexuality doesn't harm anyone and people don't choose to be gay.

  • KOKI 10 years ago

    Precisely, Sean! Many including yours truly never call for the heads of anyone who differs in either stature or race or conduct of whatever capacity.
