    Your God, your definition of sin, your problem. As for me, I am unencumbered by anyone elses God, or anyone elses definition of sin so I don't trapped by anyone else's problems.

    you're making an argument against the rainbow flag and pride okay now pride isn't like the boastful type it's me not being ashamed anymore.
    I've actually spoken out quite vocally against attacking and brigating businesses being blackballed like this I think a business owner has it the right to serve who they wish.

    But you weren't attacking that you were attacking pride. You weren't even selective about the parade. Maybe this is why a lot of people are angry with the church and religion I spent my share of time being angry with it.

    You were attacking pride in the rainbow flag. I didn't attack you at all except for it to say that you can use symbols however you wish do you think that's waging war against you?

    On the other hand.....
    the vast majority of the most zealous Christian Evangelists and Pastors do not look down on somebody for being Gay.....
    or bisexual....... and I have a great deal of empathy for lesbians.......

    Oh, I see God will just do a tsunami here and there.
    After slinging the asteroid to wipe out the dinosaurs did god promise not to do that again as well?

    You know the rainbow is just light being refracted through by water by bending the light into it's wave components?

    What promise is that?
    To not murder all creatures on Earth again, but for those that climbed aboard some arc, in some fake story?

    A sick perversion is to murder most all creatures on earth.

    It’s going to happen again too but not with water. In the future, all on the earth not within the safety of the walls of The New Jerusalem will be forever consumed and destroyed by fire and then the earth will be recreated as it was before the flood and before sin infected and cursed it.

    Quite the contrary. I have seen no evidence of involvement by a higher power in anything. For good or bad.

    No space ships. No movie. It’s all covered in the final book of the Bible.

    No, it is not. The book of Revelation is apocalyptic literature not a literal book of what the future will bring. It was written to comfort the Christians suffering under Nero and Domitian.

    It is way more literal than you can even imagine. It was written the way it was to survive the dark ages since so much of it is about that particular then near universal “church”

    It's also in Matthew 24:
    44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

    45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

    46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

    47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

    48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

    49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

    50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

    51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    If the rainbow actually stood for the protection of god, maybe the two main groups waving the rainbow could get together on that.

    I'm pretty sure same sex couples would be accepting of protection, rather than what they get.

    What a nice little science fiction fantasy world you live in. Except your god hates the gay people that he created gay.

    Here is what I don't understand about the story of Noah. If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, then why didn't He realize that humans were going to turn evil by that point and do something before He had to destroy everyone but one family? Also, why would a loving God kill 99%+ of the animals on the Earth because humans had turned evil? It makes about has much sense as a boat with the dimensions as described in the Bible, being big enough to hold two of every species and enough food to feed them all.

    And unless you refuse to eat at Red Lobster for serving shellfish, or boycott Target for selling clothes that are cotton blends, **** about the gays, you're just cherry picking your verses.

    He hates sin, not people. He created people perfect in his image. Sin is what caused imperfection and death. With sin people are predisposed to certain temptations. Homosexuality is one of them. People with an urge to do gay sex can resist it and abstain from it as much as a kleptomaniac can overcome stealing. God hates the sin not the person regardless of the sin being engaged in. All have the opportunity to win the victory over whatever sin is each persons hang up as God can give it to all who ask for it

    No, this is just counter to what is fully known about biology.
