My church won't let me go there, because I support gays. Seriously...
I got a letter from the church I'm attending up here in Pennsylvania with my cousin. They have these cards you fill out each Sunday, with your name and all the activities you may be interested in. Anyways, I read it and I almost ripped the thing up. Here's the excerpt:
"We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man [male] and a woman [female]. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex. Persons participating in any of the above acts are disqualified from membership in the church. Furthermore, any employee of the church participating in any of the above acts shall be terminated from employment or position of the church."
SERIOUSLY? I know what the Bible said. I read it. But you can't go to church if you're gay/ support gays? I find that highly disrespectful, and wrong. I'm straight, but I support gays 100%. I think that they are allowed to live how they choose, and I also believe they can believe in God.
I'm done with that church. My mom even told me it's complete BS.
Opinions? I hope someone agrees.

Complete discrimination. Aren't churches and Christians all about supporting people? People like that make me ashamed to be a Christian... Find a new church honey.

Dude, if that had happened in Norway, there would be a total outburst in the media.
Like this one time, in the salvation army (the church I go to), they fired a guy, for being gay. And it became a giant case, the media covered it and the guy almost sued the salvation army. (I, to mention, do NOT support that descision).
It's sickening that the church actually says that, they shoulda been, I dunno, killed or something:D

Find a new church, Babe.
I'm thinking of talking to my youth pastor about homosexuality, just because I want to know what he thinks of it.
But seriously, we're all sinners, maybe they've forgotten. I think you may need to find a new church.

I started my own church! The United Church of Gayness!
We accept anyone, regardless of sexual orientation!

In a way I understand what they're doing because it DOES say in the Bible that it's a sin, but everyone is a sinner. So if they're doing that, I suppose no one should be able to go to that church. :file:

That's so stupid. I agree with xXxLaNd.hErMiExXx that is discrimination. Why is it not allowed between skin color but when it's against a person's sexuality it's allowed? That's bullshark.

That's just not right. Churches should NOT do that. I go to a Vineyard church, and they are really supportive of everything, and understand that people have their own beliefs.
Psyche Adrenaline, June 20th, 2008 at 05:17:07am
Are they allowed to do that, according to the law? It's discrimination...
I wouldn't want to go there, anyway, if I were you O_O.
iVenganza!, June 20th, 2008 at 05:14:19am
Wow.
That is the stupidest thing ever.
From what I've read in the bible before, when I would go to church, it said that god loves everyone.
I don't get it though, if god loves everyone why do others make it so certain people are discriminated and hated? All because of their beliefs,sexual orientations,etc. I find it ridiculous.
I quit going to church when the church I went to with my grandmother started trying to shove their beliefs down my throat. They would say the stupidest crap, saying that god didn't love gays and so on, saying that they were sinners whose place was only in hell.
Then this old lady called me a "worshipper of satan" and told me I was going to hell. All because I stood up and said their beliefs were wrong and ridiculous.
I agree with you 100%.
