Homosexuality IS NOT a sin.

reavoreavo Member Posts: 2,173

Homosexuality IS NOT a sin.

My religion (Unitarian/Universalist) does not say homosexuality is a sin.
Unitarian Universalist Association

So if there are any homosexuals who are finding the Christian/Muslim religions to be bit abusive, I welcome you to read about what we stand for and believe.

We are the religion that such great thinkers as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Q. Adams, Paul Revere, Ralph W. Emerson, T.S. Eliot, Alexander Graham Bell, and Isaac Newton chose to follow. 

As a matter of fact, if you want to see more great Unitarian/Universalists, check out this list...

American Politics ] [ Arts & Humanities ] [ Education ] [ More Politics ] [ Humanitarians ] [ Philosophy ] [ Science, Medicine ] [ Social Reform ] [ UU Builders ] [ And More ] [ Women ]

Don't let these people with their "hell/damnation" and stories of ancient times and manuscripts scare you into a life of guilt and loneliness.  You are a good person and you deserve the love and companionship that God put you on your path to pursue.  You are a welcome in my church and you are welcome in my community of forward thinking folk.

Also, anyone feeling the constraints of ancient religions and their lack of applicability to modern times whether in politics, philosophy, or personal growth, I also invite you to look into our religion.  We welcome all ideas and encourage self growth and personal spiritual realization.  We also welcome the freedom of ideas and the practice of independence and self determination.  You're free to be you and be proud of who you are with us.  And we will help you by promoting you on your journey and show you the encouragement you deserve to find your own way to God. 

Live in freedom from fear with us.

    is this a deist religion?

    I hope some day we can all put aside our racisms and prejudices and just laugh at people

    Do you have room in your church for me and my loving sheep, we're very close? We have to be careful of those bad, evil, ancient religions that condone sacrificial offerings you know...

    I truly believe we've had enough of this crap on these forums, lets not start creating new threads by double posting your reply to another thread...

    A common silly argument that people use to try to discredit the rights of gays.

    An animal is not able to give consent. 

    Next.

    I've seen some phenomenally beautiful lesbians in my day and the fact that I can't get in there to tap that IS a sin!

    Therefore Homosexuality is a sin...sometimes!

    We have some deists in our camp.  If you are a deist then you are more than welcome to join us.  Thomas Jefferson was a deist, along with many of the founding fathers of American ideals. 

    Use the website to find a local organization and go there to check us out.  What have you got to lose?  Ask questions and find out how welcome you are to do that.  We love questioning things.

    New guild recruiting, we accept homosexuals /w for more info!


    no just kidding mate. good thing you guys aren't going on the anti-homosexuality bandwagon.
  • olddaddyolddaddy Member Posts: 3,356

    You just have to learn how to speak sheep, your ignorance of a foreign language isn't a proper excuse.

    See, I can post tripe just as easily as the creator of this thread. He double posted from another thread on homosexuality to create this thread. Why create a new thread for this when he already posted it in a prior thread? Hey, if he can do something stupid with this forum, so can I...

    Just because you say it does not make it so.  There is a higher authority than man or any religion he creates.  All should be loved yes, but loving someone does not mean excusing sinful behavior.  Rather, loving someone is better expressed by helping someone rid themselves of sinful behavior.

    My topic was posted on the other thread to answer the questions that were posed on that thread.

    I started this thread to deal with the issues of religions and condemnation and to show there are religions that do not follow that abusive formula.  Two totally different topics all together.

    Plus, you'll notice I added more to my original comment when I started this topic.

    Care to participate in my thread about religions and condemnation?

    One man's spam thread is another man's introduction to freedom from condemnation.

    You're free to not click on my topic.

    Then relabel your thread so it is about your topic, if you want to recruit for your church, or talk religion, or talk about those members of your religion, do so. You are limiting your discussion only to one aspect of your religion though. Why not open it up and enlighten people on the other aspects?

    Agnostics are welcome in my church as well.  If you go to the website you will learn that we don't stop people at the door to question their beliefs.  We encourage discussion and the exchange of ideas and philosophies.

    So you can talk about your agnostic beliefs here if you'd like.  Or if you want to start your own topic about it go ahead.  But you're more than welcome to talk about them here.  I won't put you down at all for them.

    Yes, you're right, I am free to not spam your topic. On the other hand, I am free to spam your topic. Normally, I would not be such an asshole, but you created another thread about homosexuality so you could push one facet of a religious message. Truth in advertising, when I chose a thread on homosexuality arguements I do not want a recruiting poster for a religion. That's bait and switch mate...

    Fine, spam it.  I don't care.  I'm not as authoritative as you.

    I'm also free not to read your comments.  So don't get upset when I don't reply anymore. 

    Freedom is cool, isn't it?

    My religion does not say homosexuality is sinful behavior.  Therefore, I do not accept the foundations of your argument.

    it doesn't say that it is, it doesn't even mention anything about them, you know why? because your religion is sadly incomplete.

    it is not a perfect religion that covers all aspects of life, therefore, it's a man made religion and should not be considered a true path to peace nor harmony.

    because once homosexuals inflate your religion, you'll feel all the anger and hatred towards what they will start to change and how they will behave.

    this is my advice to you, go change your religion into something that accepts strightness :}

    The homosexuals that attend my church and participate in our community activities are very respectable.  I find them to be upstanding citizens capable of doing much good and to show great compassion, dignity, and worth of being.  I think you'd be shocked at how cool they are. 

    And my religion does accept "straightness" which I guess you were meaning heterosexuals.  We accept all people that want to follow the path that God has set them on. 

    You should read about us before making accusations.  The best way to come to a table of debate is with knowledge of what your opponents beliefs are.  Not just throwing a conviction to us.  You aren't going to change anyone like that.  Just scare them away.

    I'll be back in few minutes to answer to any other comments about religions that aren't premised on guilt and condemnation. 

    But I have to go take a shower, I just got back from the gym.
