You're gay. So what.
Really. Isn't that the stance we should take as "Christians"? We don't want to be called hypocrites, so why not treat this "evil, evil abomination sin of homosexuality" the same as we would treat anyone else who sins? You lied? Oh, hhmm, shame on you. You cheated and lied? Hhmm, why not control our Treasury Dept.? (baa-ZING!)
I was just really annoyed this morning on the way into work because on the radio they were talking of a bill going through the Colorado legislature allowing gay couples who are state employees to extend health benefits to their partners. We won't allow them to be married (I can agree with that), but we allow domestic partnerships, so shouldn't we give them health benefits? It's one or the other. Not like marriage is held 'sacred' here in Colorado (Common Law Marriage)
The argument against this is what made me mad - because it's the jackholes like this who make people hate Christians. Some schmo Representative, from Greeley, CO I believe was saying we shouldn't condone this behavior and quoted a verse from the Old Testament saying people caught in homosexual relationships should be put to death. Is this guy serious? Yeah, he probably is. (He is probably also harboring gay tenancies too, that's why he is speaking out so harshly against it. Can you say Ted Haggard?)
Well Mr. Senator, or whatever you are, the Law also calls for people to be put to death for all the following reasons:

Well Mr. Senator, or whatever you are, the Law also calls for people to be put to death for all the following reasons:
- If you are caught working on the Sabbath (Exodus 35:2)
- If you kill someone else (Exodus 21:12)
- If your animal kills someone (Exodus 21:29)
- If you attack your parents (Exodus 21:15), if you curse your parents (Exodus 21:17)
- If you kidnap someone (Exodus 21:16)
- If you sex it up with an animal (Exodus 22:19)
I'm sure you would agree that we should just go ahead and enact these laws and just rid ourselves of 90% the population of Colorado, probably 95% of our prison population, and lets estimate 30% of the internet porn websites (that would actually be a good thing) and every restaurant and their employees (except for Chick-Fil-A - they shall be sparred).
See where we are going you poop head! Oh, I found this guy's name Sen. Scott Renfroe from Greeley, CO. You can't pick and choose what 'laws' of the Bible you want to follow. God hates all sin. God hates hate and judgment. You are just as likely to go to Hell for being a politician or defense lawyer as you are for being gay. God doesn't discriminate with what separates people from a full life with His presence. We are to love people and not point out their faults.
We are not to accept as OK behavior any sins though. We are to strive to be like Jesus. That means focus on how we can make ourselves more into His image, not pointing out how others are failing.

Great points. Given that this country is also based on religious freedoms, why should the Senator impose his particular religious views on everybody. I think homosexual couples loving each other is better than one heterosexual hating a homosexual. Everybody needs companionship. Just because it doesn't look like the bible thinks it should look doesn't mean it is wrong especially for someone doesn't believe in the Bible.
