Believe me, I do not want to be in your bedroom. I don't care what you do in your bedroom as long as you keep it there and not try to impose deviant behavior on those of us who happen to disagree with you. I don't go out of my way to bother LGBT people neither do I associate with them knowingly. I feel that they are trying to push their immorality upon us while trying to destroy religion and there will be very serious encounters down the road. If the immoral life style is accepted by them, why should the rest of us sell our souls just to make them feel good? Sorry, it ain't going to happen. I'm sorry you have such an aversion to God and the Bible because there life and truth in them. Always remember, you will have made a conscious choice to reject God and the resulting consequences will be of your own choosing.
Yeah...not worth my time.

You made a B.S. statement and got called on it. Just face the facts.

XD: I do know some and, as you said, some are very respectable. I had a doctor who was gay and I used to work with his partner but I didn't want to have a close association with them. I don't hate them for their sexual preference because they didn't flaunt it like a badge of honor. I can pass and repass with them but I don't want their life style pushed on me. That goes for the rest of that crowd. They are bringing problems on themselves by their conduct and "flaming" in exaggerated fashion. If they consider themselves superior to me,, that is fine. It isn't their approval I care to have. The "serious encounters" I foresee will be challenges within the government and society. Did you watch the video about Canada's experiences in this area? Says a lot about what is to come here but it will definitely come. As usual, we will not agree in any part of this matter but I am as staunch in my beliefs as you are so we will just agree to disagree!
No one is trying to push immorality on you. Stop trying so hard to be a victim.

XD: I agree that we (believers) are not victims nor, trying to be, as asserted by Greg. We have stated our opinions and we will hold fast to them, regardless of how our stance conflicts with those of a more liberal bent. We do have our religion which contradicts everything being pushed by the LGBT community and those who do support them. When it comes down to who we are going to follow, God, or the unbelieving world, God wins out every time. Why would we want to sacrifice our future life with God for maybe a couple of years here on earth to abide with evil? And then, what we consider to be the consequences? Sorry, but we live by faith in an everlasting God and His promises. If you and others don't believe, that is fine with us. Your choice but, in the meantime, we, as well as they, will continue to press for what we consider to be our rights and refuse to allow our religion to be suppressed. The peeing and moaning back and forth is really not very productive for either side but only engenders more friction. Every time someone says something about religion, there are those who feel compelled to make derogatory statements against it which then, in return, results in counter-statements. Vicious circle which none of us are able to, or seem to want to, quit. I can if y'all can.
God wins out every time. .
Interesting theory but I'm not buying it. I'm not saying Christians are the most persecuted but certainly not the least. I wouldn't know who I would rank as least historically as it seems most groups have had their share from time to time.
Then explain why the world is in such a effing mess; war, crimes, genocides, starvation, not to mention the hated in your gods name, but I think I covered that under wars.
Oh that's right he will win at sometime in the future, <puts on worried face> something christians have been saying for centuries, <yawn> and yet, he is a big NO SHOW.
Just more Pascal's Wager nonsense, trying to sell irrational fear when you have nothing else in your quiver but fear of what might happen in the future.
Nor are you fine with it, or you would not have posted the first response. But the moment you propose Pascal's Wager is the moment you've conceded the argument, and played the fear card, as irrational as it is.
You keep making reference to Pascal" Wager, which suffers from bifurcation and only leaves one with two options. There are four alternative options: Our Christian God and the afterlife, any of the other 3,700 gods and an afterlife, atheism without an afterlife and atheism with an afterlife. Wouldn't this make Pascal's Wager invalid as you keep using it? Do, or will, atheists gain from an afterlife? Or, will they simply cease to exist? Or go to another dimension or be a ghost?
Pascal's Wager; A common ploy of christians is "you better believe.... or else", wheither it be threats of standing before a non-existant god, lakes of fire, burning in hell, or as you insinuated earlier. "God wins out every time. Why would we want to sacrifice our future life with God for maybe a couple of years here on earth to abide with evil? And then, what we consider to be the consequences?"
But if god wins, that is merely a more palatable way of saying ignorance wins, except to those of us that recognize it is only ignorance at work, and it is the worst kind of ignorance, willful ignorance.
Supreme’s marriage decision creates dire prophetic situation
The Supreme Court has trampled your freedom of speech and of religion with its arrogant invention of a new right by twisting the due process provision of the 14th Amendment. In the majority opinion, the Court warns that if you disagree, you will be vilified, something not lost on Justice Alito, who wrote in dissent: “I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes, but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools.” Jesus said in Matthew 10:22, “And you shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.“ The hate is about to be revealed to American Christians.
Justice Robert’s dissent concurs: “Hard questions arise when people of faith exercise religion in ways that may be seen to conflict with the new right to same-sex marriage—when, for example, a religious college provides married student housing only to opposite-sex married couples, or a religious adoption agency declines to place children with same-sex married couples. Indeed, the Solicitor General candidly acknowledged that the tax exemptions of some religious institutions would be in question if they opposed same-sex marriage...There is little doubt that these and similar questions will soon be before this Court. Unfortunately, people of faith can take no comfort in the treatment they receive from the majority today.”
Justice Thomas agrees: “Aside from undermining the political processes that protect our liberty, the majority’s decision threatens the religious liberty our Nation has long sought to protect...In our society, marriage is not simply a governmental institution; it is a religious institution as well. Today’s decision might change the former, but it cannot change the latter. It appears all but inevitable that the two will come into conflict, particularly as individuals and churches are confronted with demands to participate in and endorse civil marriages between same-sex couples...the majority’s decision short-circuits that process, with potentially ruinous consequences for religious liberty.”
Christians who stand firm on the Word of God are about to enter a period of history where they will be demonized in this country. Moreover, bad things are likely to start happening all around us. It is important to not respond with emotion or anger as people will be seeking answers. We know those answers are found in Christ alone. Jesus’ words to the Disciples in Matthew 10 can serve as a guide. He said in verse 16, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” He said not to fear those who could kill the body, but not the soul. He said to confess Him before men and He will confess you before the Father. Be wise. Be strong. Be courageous. Stand fast on the Liberty by which Christ has set you free. No man can take that freedom from you, even in man’s great oppression.
Ignore the argument of which group is the most or least persecuted, but one could say that LGBT are more persecuted than christians, and now christians have their panties in a wad because the LGBT were just granted rights the other 90% of the population already had.
