I personally believe that your salvation is your own choice, and you cant/shouldn't force it upon anyone. You have to find out what's right for you, if you even want to. I believe we were created with the ability to choose. Meh, I'm not even going to try to preach what I've been force fed all these years, because I'm not even sure I believe it. But that's my choice. People just need to relax, especially christians. If you think homosexuality is immoral and you can "convert" them to hetero, go crawl back into your cave. You can't make people change. Just accept them, and love them for who they are... They're people, not animals. I'm just sick of christians throwing stones when they're far from perfect themselves. Lets not judge people, you can be straight and have gay pride. And if 2 guys wanna get married, its not me, so let them. People just need to lighten up.

I'm very happy to be an atheist. The thing is, you can use the Bible as justification lots and lots of things… as long as you pick your quotes carefully.

His favorite restaurant is a casual place where they both feel comfortable in slacks and cotton/polyester-blend golf shirts. But, as always, she wears the gold and pearl pendant he gave her the day her divorce decree was final. They're laughing over their menus because they know he always ends up diving into a giant plate of ribs but she won't be talked into anything more fattening than shrimp. Quiz: How many biblical prohibitions are they violating? Well, wives are supposed to be 'submissive' to their husbands (I Peter 3:1). And all women are forbidden to teach men (I Timothy 2:12), wear gold or pearls (I Timothy 2:9) or dress in clothing that 'pertains to a man' (Deuteronomy 22:5). Shellfish and pork are definitely out (Leviticus 11:7, 10) as are usury (Deuteronomy 23:19), shaving (Leviticus 19:27) and clothes of more than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19). And since the Bible rarely recognizes divorce, they're committing adultery, which carries the rather harsh penalty of death by stoning (Deuteronomy 22:22). So why are they having such a good time? Probably because they wouldn't think of worrying about rules that seem absurd, anachronistic or - at best - unrealistic. Yet this same modern-day couple could easily be among the millions of Americans who never hesitate to lean on the Bible to justify their own anti-gay attitudes.

We have had people lose their jobs over what they thought about this article. Also a few friends and myself were almost arrested beacuse of the guy who wrote the article. And lastly if he belives in everthing in the part of the bible that he took the quotes from than he is going to "hell" as well. He has a earring, he shaves, he has approached his girlfriend/fiancée while she was menstruating, all things that that part of the bible says you will go to "hell' for.
