Homosexuality =/= homosexual sex. Legolas Send a noteboard - 27/01/2011 09:16:50 PM
So I will merely say that a large part of the Christian faith focuses on exactly that - resisting the temptations of the flesh.

Celibacy is celibacy, among heterosexual or homosexual people. But when most denominations of Christianity allow heterosexual people to give in to the "temptations of the flesh" as long as they do it within marriage, while denying homosexual people that possibility, yes, well, then it's kind of hypocritical for them to talk about "resisting the temptations of the flesh" when they do no such thing themselves.

If your religion states homosexuality is wrong, then it is a position of principle... Shannow - 27/01/2011 06:59:04 PM 1049 Views
Wow, you really don't understand what it is to be human Roland00 - 27/01/2011 08:51:17 PM 938 Views

You seem to want to argue about what is allowed and what is not allowed... Shannow - 27/01/2011 10:08:10 PM 971 Views
Nah, I know better than to argue with you. I just thought your phrasing was rather silly. Legolas - 27/01/2011 10:14:50 PM 872 Views

Is it possible to have faith, but not agree with your church's stance on subjects?. *NM* Beqi - 27/01/2011 09:15:14 PM 500 Views
Of course. Faith is a broad concept. But... Shannow - 27/01/2011 09:20:54 PM 1068 Views
