So even though someone of another religion has good moral values and lived a decent life they are going to burn in hell because they don't identify as christian? This is what I don't like about organized religion.
No and why is it someone has to make a thread about Religion every 2 months?
Because these are topics that will never get old, they are interesting to discuss. Though I'm kinda against that at least religion and/or politics are discussed because tension grows up.
Yes, but being religious does not automatically mean you are a homophobe so...
I never said it did.
But some people are homophobic. Some people cling to the opinion being gay is wrong. You can't have a double standard like that. Can you honestly say you respect the belief of those whom are homophobic?

But you acting like you're brighter for not believing in God and being such a fan of logic are not different from the way homophobes think. No offense.
No, I do not believe in God. I am open to the idea of there being beings above us, as I am a spiritual person, I am just not a person of religion. People have their own reasons for following God or other types of religious purposes. It gives them purpose and hope, and I can't really knock them down for that!! I believe my purpose is unrelated to religion, at least believing it, and I find hope through various other forums - namely myself and the people I know and trust/love.

Of course not. But not all Christians are homophobic, and not all homophobes are Christians or even associated with any religion.

I just said I wouldn't. I don't know why you brought up homophobia in response to what I said.
Religion has created so much violence in this world. Not much could replicate the extreme suffering it has brought to people.
