Description Because some people seem to think they're synonymous.

DON'T JUDGE MY BELIEFS BEFORE YOU KNOW ME.

Anyway my faith is probably the only thing i will ever get truly riled up about. Because as much as people may disbelieve it God means everything to me, i wouldn't be who i am without him. And just because i am labeled as a 'christian' i am not a homophone, i don't believe God's love is exclusive and i don't think everyone is going to hell.

So as much as people say, 'not all Muslims are terrorists' (TRUE) remember not all Christians are jerks, don't judge someone on what they believe before you find out what they actually believe. It may be quite different from the stereotypical view you may have. Most Christians are amazing wonderful generous people. And a lot of other people are too. God loves everyone



Also i felt it appropriate to quote a reply i wrote down the page, for anyone whose dropped in. I thought it was relevant to further flesh out my reasoning behind the stamp to avoid conflict, as is my main goal in life A disclaimer if you will, how cheap am i? Disclaiming my own opinions Anyway...



DeadMansTouch wrote - This message goes both ways you know. Just because someone isn't a christian doesn't mean they're jerks.

Namakox wrote - Indeed you are correct, and i get where you are coming from. Forming an opinion of someone by saying "your not christian, so you must be a God hating jerk" is incredibly hypocritical and stupid. However that was most definitely not my intention, i am not directing this at every/any person who doesn't believe in my God, nor assuming that this is what most people think, it is merely a general idea/opinion that builds on the other ideas people have had about other sub groups in the world. An idea that says, "Hey, you wouldn't assume all Gays have HIV so why would you assume all Christians are bible pushing morons?"
If i based an opinion on someone because they said i was a jerk purely because of my faith. My opinion of them would not be formed on the basis of their religion, colour, sexuality or otherwise. It would be because they neglected to try and hear or understand my views before forming their opinion of me. A basis of ones actions rather than a bias.
Personally I form my opinions based on what i actually know or see in a person as opposed to pre determined assumptions, like researching before writing a book (although that sounds terribly clinical ) And if someone was that biased i admit i would most definitely not think very highly of them, i am a human and i get as defensive about my beliefs as any other human. However i would try to reason with them and try to understand why they felt that way.
Anyway i tend to rant about this stuff so forgive me for that and like i said i understand your meaning but rest assured this stamp is not any kind of finality, it's just something to keep in mind.

That's all

I know this posted thirteen days ago, but I'm a gay Christian. 
I also like to rebel a little.
I don't think I need to be killed for that.

That was the old testament, and barely anyone believes that anymore.
So, if most Christians respect what YOU believe, you should respect what they believe.

God loves his children, so basing your opinions on homophobes is stupid because they do not represent Christianity in any way. People who support racism or sexism don't either.
They claim they're following the Bible, when they are doing something God doesn't want to see.
He loves his children, so if his other children are hating on their brothers and sisters, it goes against that.
He made this world not to be perfect, but to be livable. He doesn't want people to hate on others, last I checked.

I think you should something written by an atheist about people like you:

Actually, you can. Most people are agnostic (atheist/theistic religion), as it means you acknowledge that you DO NOT KNOW. Plus, he has been doing that for supposedly thousands of years if you were to pay attention to your own religion's book. We haven't done too much environmental damage before the industrial revolution.

You, sir, are living in the past. That was the Old Testament. I do not believe we should murder all of those people. Don't think all Chrisitans are like that, because they aren't.

Alright, Mr. Know-the-bible, please quote from the bible where it says that people who work on the Sabbath should be murdered. Or that gays should be murdered. Or that disobedient children should be murdered. List the book, chapter and verse. And where does it promote slaves? Do you even own a bible? Or do you use online "sources". That, my friend, does not count.

Exodus 31:14 "Everyone of twenty years or more who enters the registered group must give this contribution to the Lord." What he's saying is is that they must put a ransom on themselves so that God doesn't send the plague. These people were evil and so that was a repentant act. But I really don't know what that has to do with this...

Exodus 35:2 "On six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be sacred to you as the Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord. Anyone who does work on that day shall be put to death."
Ok, maybe I missed this one. Anyway, Moses is basically defining the law, it's been the law since Adam and Eve. But people were deliberately defying God's law. In which case, they'll be put to death. It's not like they didn't know that they weren't supposed to work on that day, they've been warned before, and this is like a final warning. And also, when it says "death" it doesn't mean they're going be put to death AT THAT MOMENT. If you read the Bible on the subject of hell, it refers to hell as "eternal death" or plainly just death, so when it says "death" it's referring to hell. So, they don't wanna die, don't disobey the law!

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." Again, any homosexual has deliberately disobeyed God after He clearly said in Genesis 1:28 after creating Adam and Eve, "He said to them, 'Be fertile and multiply; fill the Earth and subdue it." So like the last one, it's not like they weren't warned, but they purposefully tested God and so that's the punishment for doing so. And besides, it's not like God directed that JUST at homosexuals, He also said that about anyone who commits incest in Leviticus 20:11, 20:12, 20:17, 20:19 and 20:20. He says that about adulterers and adulteress' in Leviticus 20:10. And He says it about zoophilia in Leviticus 20:15-16. AND about fortune-tellers and mediums in Leviticus 20:27. So God's clearly putting down the law there... And again like the last one, death doesn't exactly mean being decapitated or stoned on the spot, it could also refer to hell.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, that will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them; then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; and they shall say unto the elders of his city, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, and fear." Now this one may sound harsh I know, but it says “though they chasten him” which means they (the parents) have warned him (the child) and he continues breaking the laws his parents lay down for him to follow, then the punishment is severe. Because when you disobey your father and mother you dishonor them in every way. And the penality for dishonoring you're parents in that day was extreme. Now, I don't believe in killing disobedient children because I, myself, have disobeyed my parents before. Also, obviously the child is still living in his parents house and deliberatly disobeying them so it's not like the parents just went out and lay hold him while he was out of the house... Also, just bringing up this point, you speak of this verse as a horrible thing because you think it promotes killing children. Well, isn't that what happens every single day during an abortion? I'm sure you're pro-choice, right? People kill and murder their children everyday and THESE children weren't even disobedient! They didn't even have the mind to comprehend what evil is! So, think about that.

Romans 10:4 "For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth." Um... What do you find offending about this?

Galatians 3:23-25 "But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. So that the law is become our tutor to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now faith that is come, we are no longer under a tutor." This just explains that you need to find and discover faith mainly by yourself. It's saying that the law tried taking Christ's place to tutor them in the ways that were against the faith. Which, in my opinion, highlights modren day problems... Still, I don't know of anything that should offend you or should seem like bs in this verse.

Ephesians 2:15 "having abolished in the flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making peace;" What's bs about this? I'm sorry, I just can't find anything with this...


And hopefully you can help me out on the ones that I asked the questions on. Also, I'm Catholic so I used the New American Bible, the KJV and the NAB should be similar with those verses.


And good, because I have no intention of insulting you either...

Apparently your annoying ass can't comprehend your own idiocy even though you've made it abundantly clear that you lack all intellectual property found in the human population, so let me refute your bullshit to take you down from your pedestal.



So essentially... I was right.

Are you denying that people are born gay? And they knew they were/would be defying God... really? Is that why people in North America were so anti-gay at this time when native Americans showed no sign of hating homosexuality EVER? Give me a break...

MmHmm... so by your logic, if Billy's daddy wants Billy to play football, and Billy wants to draw, kill him?
Haha... no.

Ok, so by the looks of it all you want to do is talk about gays. So that tells me that you're gay or you're considering it or you're just another mind-fucked robot of the media that feels like they owe something to the gay community. And yes, in fact I AM denying that people are born gay. Because they're not. Simply put. And when exactly did I say that the ignorant were going to hell? "Ignorance is bliss", the most over used excuse in this world. It's not ignorance, it's pure laziness!

"Apparently your annoying ass can't comprehend your own idiocy even though you've made it abundantly clear that you lack all intellectual property found in the human population, so let me refute your bullshit to take you down from your pedestal." And you made it abundantly clear that you have absolutely no knowledge of what you're arguing about. You've made it clear that you have no basic understanding of the Bible and you must therefore go to YouTube to rescue you and base your pathetic life off of a couple videos. And that's obviously why you come up with such creative ways to make an attempt at refuting me.

"By the way, since you had no intention of insulting me, what was it that I read prior? I have the right to say the above." And you clearly just proved you're a wuss as well. The perfect trait of a gay, getting insulted at the smallest things. And seriously dude? Is "rights" the only ammo you have to throw at me? Really?

"MmHmm... so by your logic, if Billy's daddy wants Billy to play football, and Billy wants to draw, kill him?
Haha... no." Ok, if you haven't got this by now, that was THEIR culture. Man, it seems like you're the one that's no smarter than an insane person. It's like you expect to time travel and change how they did things. Well sorry bruh, it ain't happening, and as soon as you put on your big boy pants and come to grips with that then maybe you'd have a better view of people who disagree with you.

Also, if you're going to come up with poetic ways to "insult" me or God, it ain't happening. See, I actually have my hope in someone, God, and he's going of take care of you as he feels fit to. So I have nothing to worry about.

Talk about hypocritical! And you know what? Maybe you should shut up and freaking listen to something logical for once! You just don't want to hear the truth! That's what this is about. So until you admit you're a Satan lover I don't believe that you doubt the existence of God. You know why? Because if someone came up and asked you, "Can you disprove God's existence?" I bet you anything you couldn't! So can you call yourself an atheist then? I think not.
