This is a normal post regardless of how accepting and supporting a particular christian church, parish or even religious sect are, the religion itself is homophobic
it seems odd to me that people can't see that worshipping a god that according to the religion's own scripture would condemn you for your behaviour is counter-intuitive.

to be fair though, most people would be condemned to hell if they were to take the whole bible seriously. it seems that the majority of religious people are very selective about which bits of the book they take notice of

This is a normal post It's not just about Christianity though, it's all religion,
my own (Unitarian) church doesn't even insist that the Bible is the word of God; I don't know what the Quaker's stance on scripture is but I know they're backing this, as well as the Liberal Jews.

I shouldn't need to point out that the Bible is very much open to interpretation. I actually quoted 1 Corinthians 7:9 on the form.

This is a normal post i don't know why i'm asking this, as i'm not sure i care
but if your religion uses the bible and it's concepts as it's base, but doesn't actually believe what it says is actually true, what's the fucking point of that?

This is a normal post Well, quite.
The point is though that not every religion does, and it's no business of the state if it does or not.

BUT ask any Rabbi, Liberal or otherwise, and they'll tell you that Leviticus prohibits bumsex, not Special Best Friends Forever.

This is a normal post As a Quaker I believe that all religious texts have some merit however none should be taken literally.
There's also the concept of continuous revelation however this is not something I ascribe to.

This is a normal post so why do religious people keep trying to push that interpretation on other people?
bah!

This is a normal post what you mean the Catholics and their homoskeptical lobbying?
well quite. I don't know what goes through their minds to be honest but I don't think the government should be pandering to it. Which is why I put my tuppenceworth on that there form.

This is a normal post I think you've missed my point
If you say that the bible is "very much open to interpretation" then you're saying that it isn't clear about its message. And if the bible isn't clear about what it's saying, why on earth would you base your life around it?

This is a normal post Some bits are clearer than others, of course.
According to Rudolph Bultmann, all you need to believe in to be a Christian is Christ crucified. I think it's fairly clear on at least that much.

This is a normal post Hmmm either you're avoiding an argument or you don't have an answer
Not sure which, but I hope for your sake you just don't like confrontation.

and not one I really want right now.

This is a normal post Fair enough
Glad you're more secure in your religion than you first appear.

This is a normal post ffs
"the religion itself is homophobic" - only to the same inherent level as it being anti beard shaving, or pro-slavery.

I repeat, I'm not christian I'm ignostic. I'm also pro-choice when it comes to churches.

This is a normal post wait...
have I misunderstood, or are you saying gays shouldn't be allowed to marry in a church because the men at that church don't have beards?
