Would you accept a gay child?

Endless quotes condemning homosexuality throughout the Holy Book and promoting male-female relatinships - it's rather like the gay marriage debate. Some smart arses attempt to be clever and say 'well the Bible doesn't say anything about gay marriage so therefore how can you be against it on religious/cultural grounds' when, as US Talkshow host Michael Savage put it, people 2,000 years ago weren't that stupid that they needed it spelled out for them that gay marriage wasn't approved of by scripture because it's clear that homosexuality is condemned by scripture therefore the concept of gay 'marriage' is condemned by its very nature.

I think it depends what you mean by the term accept. To accept something in my eyes is to accept is as a fact of life, something that is real and happening - whereas to deny would simply mean pretending otherwise for your own self comfort/other reasons. So i'd accept it yes.

But that's different to approval.

I'm not religious at all, so I wouldn't care.

Well If I already had one straight child that would keep the family + last name going, I would be fine.
I wouldn't throw the child out or anything crazy like the other posts.

It'd be the child's choice as to whether they're straight or homosexual so I'd accept them either way, so long as they'd be happy in themselves.

Of course I'd accept and approve of a gay child. I wouldn't wish it upon them as it may cause them difficulties and stress, but if that's who they are, it's fine with me.

Anybody that uses religion to justify their own intolerance are single-minded fools that have completely misplaced the concept of religion in their minds. "I can't accept you because someone else told me I can't accept you" -- what a completely idiotic and obviously objectionable thing to say. If you allow religion to manipulate your beliefs, you are nothing but a coward.

If I had a gay son he'd be FABULOUS!

The Bible clearly states on numerous occasions that it does not support homosexual relations. According to the Bible, relations are to be between a man and a woman so that the pair may breed. I feel that @-:Undertaker:- has summed it up perfectly.

Do you not have approval of yourself then? Do you just accept yourself? You are gay aren't you, sorry if you're not, I thought someone said you were as that was upsetting :P?

Let us look at Mark 10. 1-12 – “[A] man shall leave his father and mother, and be made one with his wife and the two shall become one flesh.” The commander of these words is God, in his eyes homosexual relations is wrong. This is an unambiguous line. It was one of the sins that justified God in giving land of Canaan to the Israelites. There are several verses in the Bible that contest that homosexuality is wrong in the eyes of God. God has a great bearing over our family heritage, we simply can’t disagree with God.

That's actually Jesus quoting a Mosiac passage from Genesis to condemn divorce, not homosexuality. If you want to quote it direct from Genesis consider that the laws of the Old Covenant should not apply to Christians as the entire point of the Christ is to bring new law and new life to do away with the old
