Common sense is awesome. |
Duh.
Also I hate it when people compare a way somebody is born (the LGBT community, for example) with religion. Religion is a lifestyle choice and a belief, being gay isn't.

If Christians only followed the Ten Commandments , there wouldn't be no gay hate in the 1st place.

There are so many points in the bible that are contradictory against the ten commandments in the bible.

Because the religion shuns homosexuality

Homosexuality has a lot to do with background and early life experiences. For example, the lack of a mother or father figure, failure to properly identify with your gender early in life, or even molestation/rape by someone of either the same OR opposite sex (those are some, but not the only, possible contributing factors). There's no rock solid evidence that it's genetic or that you're otherwise "born with it".

WELL no.
But you're right it's not necessarily something you're born with. Regardless, it's not a choice. Religion is.

 Not everyone in the community is intolerant of Christians, just like not all Christians are intolerant of everyone in the community
I'm part of both 
I hate seeing hateful comments from both sides. It's so frustrating.

Your psychology instructor has failed you. I mean you have brought it up in here and you really didn't take anything away from it sis. You should take the class again.

You are so ignorant it hurts.
I have both parents, I am aware I am a boy, and I have never been raped. Do I fit the "straight" criteria? 
Does this make your imaginary friend love me?

I don't know you, when you came out as homosexual, or what may have led to that. But there have been numerous studies that have linked homosexual tendencies to previous life experiences, and yet no foolproof evidence that homosexuality is something you're born with. Which was my point in reply to Madonnas.

I don't see why people think there has to be a distinction between being Christian or Gay. We all can accept that nobody fully understands the bible. There's arguments that the abomination theory is an old testament way of thinking and the New Testament doesn't directly oppose it. I'm not saying don't consider the old testament, but it was full of all kinds of laws and regulations that we can't surely use today. I think to each his own. Christians shouldn't be so judgemental because that's wrong & there is no sin greater than the other.

I came out as homosexual the second I came out as a human baby from my mother's womb.
Would that make everyone asexual until they have enough "life experiences" to persuade them to be gay or straight?
I don't know you, when you came out as heterosexual/homosexual, or what may have led to that.

I agree that it's unlikely that anyone fully understands the Bible, and that all sin is weighed the same, but homosexuality wasn't just a part of the Mosaic Code (I think that's what it's called - see, proving your point), and it's also addressed in the New Testament.

The majority of Christians are not hateful people. You think that way because of the emphasis media places on the minority. I learned about this phenomenon in psych last semester. It's similar to how people fear kidnapping because of how frequently it's discussed in the news when the occurrence rate is VERY low.

This basically. But you do realize that you're generalizing lgbt and grouping everyone together by saying they hate Christians too right? There are extremists in every group, that goes for Christians and lgbt. The silent majority is always drowned out by the vocal minority.
I'm a lgbt christian and I can say for a fact that there are ****** people on both sides of the spectrum.

The short-sighted ignorance in the OP.
As if the hurt feelings of some Christians due to a pointed comment from a homosexual is anywhere near the same level of violent oppression the Church has leveled against those it has deemed deviant for centuries.
