I am not using my faith as a tool for hate. The Bible plainly says homosexuality is wrong. Leviticus 18:v22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination." v29 "for whosover shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people." Leviticus 20: v13 "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." The Bible is clear about it in both the new and old testaments. If you understand anything just because Jesus didn't specifically say anything against homosexuality, does not make it right. It is not hate I speak, it is the TRUTH.
Yeshua did speak against homosexuality, as well as immoral behavior: he called it lewd and perverse behavior (english translation). That is not hatred for homosexuals. That is calling sin, sin. All of us sin, it just seems that the homosexual extremists are crying that they will not tolerate sinful behavior called as it "is". Should we use "code" words because the homosexual extremists are taking the freedom of speech from those that "disagree" (notice no violence, no call to hate, just plain disagreement), so that the public thinks we are politically correct?

1. god, in the bible, also speaks in favor of slavery....
can I assume that you AGREE with god that slavery is a good idea?
or....do you DISAGREE with god on the issue of slavery?
2. homosexuality is only a sin in the eyes and minds of people who believe in god.
people with more rational and logical minds (you really should change your name to something more fitting...) are able to to evaluate these issues more logically.
we don't judge homosexuals simply based on their sexual proclivities.
we know that most homosexuals are decent, hard working people. They live in our neighborhoods, are our friends and family and MOSTLY are "good people"
3. gods' condemning homosexuals as "sinners" is illogical and arbitrary...and just plain wrong...
god is as wrong about homosexuals as he is about slavery....
(golly...how many OTHER issues is god wrong about?)
4. if people like you have a "right" to voice their opinion that "homosexuality is a sin"
then sane and rational people have a "right" to denounce them and defend homosexuals
5. America is a secular nation. you have a right to believe in any religious mumbo jumbo you want to. And homosexuals have a right to be gay.
you can say "homosexuality is a sin" and I can say "no, it is not, god is a wrong"
6. note: no hate speech...just plain disagreement.
7. if most people agreed with you that homosexuality is a sin
and they passed laws against homosexuality
where-upon homosexuals were rounded up and executed...
would you STILL claim that there is no hate in your speech?
is it perfectly ok to kill homosexuals as long as you don't hate them?
