Muslim answear: Do people shout and give hate comments do people who are handicap or blind?

Then why shout at people born gay? yes its true that its wrong in nature, But do they have a choice? also did the blind man have a choice?

Its not a sin being gay. Its a sin having intercourse with the same sex.

If you love god then dont commit this sin.

Just like the blind man lives without sight. Gay people live without sex.

Does sex matter or does love matter?

What would you chose? No sex or Blind?

[bmcnaught]

@AllenWaalker I don't want to give up sex, Allen, because it enables me to see deep into the truth, beauty and joy of love. Without it, I'd be blind. I once was lost, but now I'm found; was blind but now I see.

[AllenWaalker]

@bmcnaught okay Just saying those gay who loves god would give up ***.

*** makes you see? Blind without it? When your blind thats when you cant have beutifull memories. Like having a picknick with your family up a hill where you can see Green landscape and mountains. Seing this world in all shapes. To know where you walk and know how your family and friends look like. Imagine no colors. Dont talk poet-like You are greedy. Dont reply again about how much you like ***. :)

@AllenWaalker I love sex as a gay man, and if you aren't happy that I do focus on something else, such as your own happiness. Why do some people feel the rest of us need their help in being happy?

[AllenWaalker]

@bmcnaught If you are not christian then why comment? Dont be stubborn. Okay you are gay should i feel sorry for your handicap? I will as soon as you sacrafice sex.

My mind sees through people. I know the act of false or not. I see logic and justice in all prespectives. Im saying to gay people that if they are "born gay" as they say then they still commit a sin if they have intercourse with the same sex. Im here to help. I can answear all questions. I want your happines. Find love in other ways.

[bmcnaught]

@AllenWaalker "Sin" is disparaging in judgment the hearts, minds, and lives of others, Allen. You have high regard for your own mind and its abilities, yet you deceive yourself in believing that you're here to help. You are helping only yourself. You need to find other places to cast your judgments.

@Insabanua Oh, my god. I'd never read that before. Well that changes everything. The words of a religious fanatic thousands of years ago, long before we understood anything about sexual orientation, really is going to have a big impact on how I live my life.

When people condemn gays, they immediately get defensive and relate it to racism, they are two different things. Blacks and colored people are human beings created by God, but homosexuality was condemned by God clearly recorded in the story of sodom and Gomorra...therefore indulgence in such act makes you less than an animal because even they know the difference.

[bmcnaught]

@R3M3MB3RxM3 Only if you're one of the two people, and even then, there's no "fault" involved if you freely chose to engage in this oral sex.

[R3M3MB3RxM3]

@bmcnaught So just because two people choose to suck each others dicks, then its my fault ?

[GodCreatesGays2]

It's hilarious how irrational & willfully ignorant the drooling anti-gay brigade is. They continue to spread the myth that homosexuality is a "choice", and deny all the evidence that clearly proves the fact that being gay is innate and has biological components. When the bigots have to deny reality in order to justify their deviant lifestyle of hatred, you know they are in the wrong. Being gay, like being black or left-handed, is perfectly natural & normal. Homophobes, sadly, are not.
