How are you an expert?

 @B6K9PKWProgressive from Illinois  disagreed…2mos2MO

How about 15 years of religious education including a Masters in Divinity which makes me a Christian Reverend? Is that enough for expertise?

Neither God nor Jesus said anything against individuals who formed mutually loving, supportive, enriched partnerships.

The Constitution of the USA DOES however say: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

If you can offer proof that does not rely on the Bible for this I'll believe you.

 @9BYHRVG from Washington  corrected…2yrs2Y

What God, the Supreme Legislature of the Universe, says is wrong. To him homosexuality is an "abomination." So it is therefore Sin and must be opposed or well will insure his wrath!

 @9CDJ8L4 from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

Hate is a sin. So is judging others. God is love, which is the opposite of hate, so… I’m thinking you might need to re-read your bible or pick up a new translation. We all fall short of the glory of God in some way (the only human that was ever without sin was Jesus, according to the Bible), but love is love, and it’s beautiful in all forms, shapes, and sizes. And you have no right to speak for God and tell another human being that HIS creation is an abomination. But you’re allowed to be wrong and make mistakes. THIS hateful post of yours was a mistake. I hope you wil…  Read more

While it's true that hate and judgment are considered sins, it's essential to recognize that everyone is entitled to their beliefs. However, it's crucial to approach these discussions with empathy and understanding. Love, in all its forms, should be celebrated and respected. I believe that understanding different interpretations of religious texts can lead to more inclusive and tolerant views.

For instance, some scholars argue that the original context of the biblical passages often cited against same-sex relationships is not as clear-cut as it's made out to be. They sugges…  Read more

There is no evidence of this god, so I have no reason to put any stock in this fiction. Regardless, religion is personal. Combat your own homosexual tendencies, please. If someone else is struggling with homosexuality, let them. It's their journey, not yours. I don't belong in your story any more than you belong in mine.

No evidence? What about the wind and the stars? The fact that we are here having this conversation right now? The very fact that when we breathe, we exclaim His name "YAHWEH?"

 @9TYJFHK from Illinois  disagreed…1yr1Y

If Jehovah exists, he surely isn't the "Supreme Legislature of the Universe".

I have violated his laws before. I am an atheist. I have committed Apostasy from the Catholic Church, albeit prior to when Confirmation would have occurred. Although I am straight, I have violated the Church's teachings on masturbation and such being sinful. I have uttered foul language often enough to make a sailor look wholesome. I have often disrespected my parents, my schools, and the United States Government. I crossdress in public two days a week, on average.

Despite all of this, I have not…  Read more

Ive committed all of the sins you have to the same or a worse degree. I'm also a lesbian.

And same as you there have been no divine intervention. Clearly God's laws are only suggestions and you are in charge of your own life and can live it the way you want.

He will judge you, me, and everyone accordingly on His day. Maybe, just maybe, He has kept you alive so you could meet someone, perhaps with a story similar to yours, that realized Jehovah is the One True God.

I am praying for you, that this might happen.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…2yrs2Y

And the only proof we have of what god says is ancient 2000 year old religious texts that are extremely likely to be tampered with over the course of the centuries it was monopolized for the churches use.

 @MereR3gulationChristian Fundamentalism from California  commented…1yr1Y

Sin is basically any action, thought, or behavior that goes against God's commandments and moral laws. It's like a spiritual wrong turn that separates us from God's will and purpose for our lives. Think of it as a moral misstep that needs to be corrected to align ourselves with divine teachings.

 @B6K9PKWProgressive from Illinois  disagreed…2mos2MO

Your sin is my sacrament.

I can prove he's real – but first I need you to explain where the Laws of Logic came from.

 @9ST7HGX from Texas  commented…1yr1Y

The laws of logic are based on observable evidence and repeatable phenomena. They are rigorously tested and applied practically. Religion is based on faith, or the belief in something greater than yourself. It is a belief because it exists without any evidence, and that's ok. You do not need to prove your god is real; if you could, that would be science. However, if you claim that there is evidence, then your belief is entering the world of science, where everything requires proof. Science and religion do not overlap, and they never will, but they can and should coexist. The key is in recognizing the boundary between the two.

Trump’s Doom vs. Harris’s Hope as America Decides Its Fate

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.
