love should have no gender love is love

Hebrews 13:8 "God is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Times do not change or modernize.

You do have a free will to live as this or that. Unloving or intolerant parts of society stigmatizes all Christians as unaccepting.

@speed0spank It's only ever going to be as good or as evil as its people.

@Stardweller1 Well it's good that they can do good to perhaps feel better for slaughtering millions and alienating billions. Congrats

@Stardweller1 ...many religious organizations have been responsible for the building and running of hospitals, implementation of humanitarian missions, charitable organizations etc, and much of their motivation for doing so can be found in their teachings. Also, certain figures such as Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama are good examples of people who use their religion to create unity and love rather than division and prejudice. Anyway, in more words than I would have liked those are my thoughts.

@Stardweller1 ...is a personal choice, though we are commanded to remember that there are consequences for our actions. Finally, I would like to point out some of the good things which have been done through organized religion. I realize that it has been used do commit a great many evil acts throughout history, such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, and more recently terrorist attacks, but on the other hand...

I can't say I agree with everything in this video, but I do agree with some of it, and even the stuff I disagree with I understand where you're coming from.

@MamaMario13 Is that weird to your world view that someone may be atheist and dont like gayness? For me it is not weird. Human can have different view on every aspect of life.
