		<description>The bible says that &quot;All
have sinned and gone their way...., and that Christ died for us
while we were sinners&quot; - from the latter it means that if we
say we do not sin we are DEFEATING the purpose why Christ
died for us on Calvary. On the same breath, someone out
there has created an imaginary sin scale --the Bible says
that &quot;All sin is equal before God and its consequences is
death&quot;. So if one is a murderer, fornicator, Adulterer, liar,
drunkard, homoerotic etc. they are all graded equal before
God&#039;s Judgment Scale. However, We tend to judge harshly on
sins we do not commit, but favourably on the ones we do.
The blood of Jesus speaketh better things!!! We confess our
sins those that we have committed knowingly and
unknowingly with our deeds, actions, behaviour and
otherwise and we are made righteous to be called the sons of
God.</description>

		<description>The bottom line is some people
are more attracted to
members of there own gender
and love for another person
really has little to do with
gender . Love is not sex .
Since sex is done more for
pleasure than for reproduction
what is the difference who or
what you do it with . A long as
you are happy and no one has
been hurt. In other words as
long as I am not raping and or
molesting it is not for others to
worry or lose sleep over much
less join a crusade.</description>

		<description>homosexuality is not unnatural
just because you don&#039; t see
animals doing that . because
being homosexual has more to
it then just sex ,which is what i
don&#039; t understand . the first thing
most people think when they
hear the word gay is, sex . which
is stupid . its not unnatural at all. i
mean just because it &#039;s different
doesn &#039;t mean its unnatural. no
one has the right to say this
about homosexual people, so
this statement is just adding on
to the homophobic world this
place is turning into. i am hoping
one day soon, people will
realized that there is nothing
sinful about homosexuality. 
Homosexuality does not have to
be in the sexual sense . What if
the people are in love ? Are we
to deny their right to happiness ?</description>

		<description>I too believe that homosexual is
unnatural. But in fairness of the
fight ,I&#039; ve seen a few examples
of &quot; do you see animals of the
same sex pleasuring each
other ?&quot; My response to this . Do
you see animals wearing three
peice suits , running down the
street to catch the bus and hitch
a ride to their office where they
sit in front of a computer typing
all day ? Do you get the concept
I &#039;m going for?</description>

		<description>I &#039;ve heard this many times . I
respect all of your opinions, I
just want to share one of my
own . I think that being
homosexual is not a bad thing .
We all prefer different things .
When it comes to sexuality,
some of us may rather be with
someone of the same gender ,
opposite gender or both. Maybe
some one you are right in
thinking that people just do it
for the experience or &quot; natural
birth control&quot; , but I think that
there are people out there
willing to give their hearts to
both genders . Actually , I think
that those people are
homosexuals ; the other are just
curious but does not make
them homosexuals . Some say
that it says in the Bible that it
can only be men and women
but not with the same gender . I
am not certain about that since
I have not read the Bible , but
even if the Bible did mention
that , I&#039; d still wouldn &#039;t have a
problem with homosexuality . I
don&#039; t think it matters what other
people say, whatever it has to
do with religion , etc . I think
what truly matters is what the
person feels. If they like both
genders or if they don&#039; t, it&#039; s fine
with me either way, but I don&#039;t
like the fact that people will use
that as a way to discriminate
them or put them in the
spotlight . I also think that a big
part of being human is
individuality ; what makes each
person unique. I believe that
discriminating a person by their
differences is wrong but
accepting them is what should
be .</description>

		<description>It doesn&#039;t matter how
people connect physically , it&#039;s
important how they connect
emotionally. Just because we
were meant to have sex and
reproduce heterosexually ( men
as many times as they can in
the time given ) doesn&#039;t mean
we need to. If we did then we
would have very few males ,
with many, many wives . That&#039;s
the natural way really. Since we
as people have developed
beyond simply natural instincts ,
we should then have the ability
to understand that attraction is
not something you can control.
You are attracted, who you are
attracted to , and that &#039; s that .
You can &#039;t just be friends ,
because the emotions and
temptations that exist there
continue to plague the
relationship ( like for you a man
and a woman who really like
each other but can &#039;t be
together , just being friends,
rarely works ) . On top of that,
you can &#039; t marry someone who
you lack that attraction for.
Then it&#039; s a strained and terribly
tiring existence .</description>

		<description>As a black lesbian , I always say
throughout the time of
colonialism and slavery, the
imposition of Christianity was
one of the worse things that
ever happened to black people.
It breaks my heart to see Afro -
American , Afro -Caribbean and
Africans that want to persecute
fellow LGBT black folks based
on the bible. If the Zimbabwean
minister wants to live his life
and his people based on the
bible, why not go back to
slavery? Why can &#039;t Zimbabwe go
back to be the Republic of
Rhodesia?
Based on Genesis 9. He is the
people of Canaan, the people
doomed with the curse of Ham,
where their only place is to be a
slave. If he wants to be a good
Biblical Christian, he must
realize his inferiority as a dark-
skinned man and know his
place as a slave . He must also
find a white man to enslave
him. If the slave owner
mistreats him, he must still
submit to his slave owner
according to Exodus 21 .</description>
