Comments on: Thou Shall Hate, Scorn & Abuse - Gays Support Gay Hatred http://tvnewslies.org/blog/?p=328 Helping to Bring the Truth to the People Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:23:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: hemingwayca http://tvnewslies.org/blog/?p=328&cpage=1#comment-533 hemingwayca Mon, 20 Mar 2006 19:55:52 +0000 http://tvnewslies.org/blog/?p=328#comment-533 Jesse, most of your comments are right on, but you're off the mark this time, my friend. There is a chronic epidemic of confusion when it comes to God, religion and the Bible, particularly from the Christian perspective. Let me clear the air. First of all, religion and God are not synonymous. God is the Creator of all things, the Supreme Being, the Lord of the universe, the One and Only. On the other hand, religion is man made—riddled with flaws—and it comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, many of which contradict the written Word. I cannot speak for Muslims, Jews, Hindus, or any others, but I can speak for Christians, which, I believe, is where most of the confusion lies. As is the case with any belief, Christians have their fair share of hypocrites and Neo-Conservatives who grossly misinterpret God’s Word. According to the Bible, God has not given us the right to judge anyone; that’s His job. In spite of this, Christians bash the gay community; speak harshly about their lifestyle, all the while proclaiming their self-righteousness. This is a direct violation of God’s mandate. God’s directive is clear: our role on Earth is to be tolerant, understanding and forgiving. He has not given us the authority to judge or point an accusing finger at anyone, regardless of their behavior. We are all sinners and God does not distinguish one sin from another. Those Christians who attack gays are not living by God’s Word. They are hypocrites and will one day face God on judgment day, hanging their heads in shame.
