Would be good advice for you to follow kolo.jingo, lulu allie... you are always trying to give every one advice on how to live their lives, when you don't have one to live of your own... you are totally WRONG in saying it doesn't affect anyone, it does can be harmful, or can be peaceful but it does affect us in some way or another, for you to turn your back on that shows your disdain for the rest of mankind is immoral!!!!




Hasn't hurt you in all the years....well...maybe the first time did!!!


just shows where your mind is :) If you truly have one :D

Remember the Bible says to "Hate the sin but love the sinner" That does not mean I have to condone their actions but when they try to force a gay wedding in the church I attend that is going to far and I will not participate!

Contrary to what many believe that saying is not in the bible but rather credited to St. Augustine and also used by Ghandi much later. Even harder to love a sinner who continues to commit the same sin over and over.

Looks like a pretty good paraphrase to me.

"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good."

"For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,"

"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

"Save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh."

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

"O you who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked."

Don't remember anything being written about it being easy. But there is a verse about forgiveness being unlimited.

Why do you care? Really? It's not my business nor is it yours.

yep,.. it was a baker's business, a florists business, a photographers business .. a church's pavilion.. the list grows as they demand we conform to their world view..

so as soon as "they" stop harassing (and persecuting) those who do not believe in their world view,.. then most of the religious right will ignore them..

Yep - - - that was the view during the start of WWII - - - "Hitler is leaving me alone so I'm going to look the other way!" then after all your neighbors were gone he decides to come for you and you are all alone!
