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…3yrs3Y

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?"

Wind is air moving...

The stars are big balls of gas...

We are speaking because we have brains and used them to have this conversation...

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.

And that'll be a problem for future us. He can judge me however He wishes, but the threat of judgment will not make me change my actions.

  @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…2yrs2Y

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…10mos10MO

Your sin is my sacrament.

Keep your beliefs and your faith out of my life.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
