very misinformed idiots!ive known more straight people with aids.can they explain that.

I think people should remember, that the bible is not written by God himself, but by humans. Humans make mistakes.

Stop your hating, and start to look at the bible with a little more critic. homoseksual are NOT sinners, they just love, and God loves the one who love.

That´s written in the bible you know.

there's nothin i'd love more than go in there head to toe in body armour and an ak 47 with 10 clips that hold 200 bullets each long with ten other lads tooled up the same and fuckin annihilate the lot of them

Well, you can discuss wether or not being homosexual is right or wrong - but it´s not a crime, unless it has been written down as law, and the only country such a law is made, is in Saudu-Arabien, as far as I know.

And am I right when I say, that you are not from Saudi-Arabien?? If not, well - then it´s not a crime :)

[JoseyLoe]

(...continued)

You say that it´s very apparent, that I don´t practise a religion, don't pray every day or read Scripture of any of the existing religions. Well, my question for you is: Is that how you define 'a believer?

There are many many definitions of believe, and if you think that these are the "correct" ones, then you´re right: Then I´m not a believer.

[JoseyLoe]

I would love to Email with you - it´s allways interesting to learn about other points of view in life :)

About me saying that there maybe is a God, should be read as a whole sentence: "Maybe there is a God, personally I believe". The reason I say maybe, is because there is no proof of the existence of God, and that many people don´t believe in God/Heaven. For me, that´s okay too - I have a lot of friends, who doesn´t believe, and it doesn´t really make the biggest difference.

Finally, Josey, I re-read your other comments and have to admit that you are a sensible and honest person.

Also, I would never judge a person as a believer or not, unless he says so himself.

If you are interested, we can discuss and share elsewhere, e.g. IM or emals or PIM. I do want to hear what you believe and why the homosexuality is an important issue for you.

[hizman]

Second, even if you are not a believer, a single fact that religious weightings such as the Bible, the Vedas, Avesta, etc. have existed for thousands of years and are still read and revered by millions if not billions of people -- this very fact should tell that those books are not merely fiction like the rest of books sold in stores.

[hizman]

Thanks for being a gentleman this time. You know, I can and love having an intelligent talk, but here at YouTube it's mostly obscenities and silly propaganda.

So, first, you said yourself that there MAYBE a God. These are not the words of a believer. So forgive me, but this is very apparent that you don't practise a religion, don't pray every day or read Scripture of any of the existing religions.

[JoseyLoe]

I am a believer. (Or well, maybe you would say that I´m not. But who can judge that - except God, off course :P). I know, that maybe I´ll die tomorrow, because life is never safe. That is why I do my best to spread the word of God: love.

I know we have a different view on this matter, but please know that I don´t want to offend you or anything, discussing this issue. I'm merely curious ;)

[hizman]

Stop using the word God if you are not a believer. This is at least, not honest or sincere.

But in regards to the Bible, it has survived civilizations and societies like you who pursued unnatural lusts. And you are just a human who may die of cancer or AIDS tomorrow.
