Being Homophobic

[Sammeth.]

I was just wondering your opinions on this subject.

I'm a christian and being gay is against my beleifs does this automatically make me homophobic? i don't think it does because I have never physically attacked or yelled threatening or nasty insults to towards anyone who is or appears to be gay and personally think everyone should live their lifes as they please and God will judge them when there time has come so yeah would you say I'm homophobic because of my religous beleifs?

I'm asking this because I'm just kind of fed up of being labeled as something so 'evil' and 'bad' by homosexuals who have asked me if I agree with their life style in the past and have found I've been insulted more by the homosexual community than I have ever insulted them so meh =]

Moved by REDNECK (Forum Super Moderator) from World News, Religion, Politics & Philosophy: Please post in the correct section next time.

To be honest, I'm gay and I understand not everyone is going to accept it for whatever reason. I mean, if it's your religion and its against your beliefs then so be it. Who am I, or any other gay person, to tell you what to believe in.

Well the bible also promotes incest, so i don't really take much notice of it.
I'm bisexual, and just because some book says i can't be with who i love, i ain't going to stop, cause god should understand because he 'made me'.

Apparently the bible doesn't look down upon gays. Looking over a fe interesting articles on the web, people who are different to Christians e.g. strangers, gays are welcomed more than whatever the criteria for normal is. But I do agree, the bible does promote incest when they strongly suggest the Adam and Eve story is correct

Kinda gives it a clear annotation. Don't worry, even though God hates me he is still my favourite fictional character.

I love how people bash on Christianity and religion as a whole and it's fine yet if someone says they don't like homosexuality they'd be looked down on.

I don't think it does. I'm Christian too and I have the same beliefs. I don't treat them differently, etc. I just don't approve of who they are and what they do.

Political correctness means bashing christianity?

Surely political correctness is accepting everyone has their own religion, and the shouldn't be bashed for their beliefs? Everyones different innit.
