There's nothing wrong with being a Christian, however, there is something wrong with Christians condemning and judging everyone, neither of which are things that we should be participating in. The Bible says that every tongue shall confess who He is and every knee shall bow, and I wholeheartedly believe it. but at the same time, I have no business trying to shove my beliefs down someone else's throats, after all, Jesus gave people choices while he was here on Earth, so why shouldn't we?

Oh sweet Jesus...!!

make that "down" off the cross.

Regardless of the typo:

CHRISTIANS....RENT A FUCKING CLUE ALREADY!

How about if everyone puts down the kool-aid and live in the world created by straight christians....realizing that it is a mess.

To think that gays are the source of all that is wrong is SOOO misguided! And the amount of energy that christians could have used to do some good in the world instead of the hating...well good lord. Get that skinny white boy done off the cross. He has suffered enough......or WAS HE GAY?

As someone who has studied both testaments extensively, I can tell you that the FUNDAMENTAL problem is that the Bible is NOT ambiguous in it's condemnation of homosexuality.

People who try to reconcile the two (being a practicing homosexual and being a Bible-believer) can discount the Old Testament easily enough. Leviticus is full of strange and sometimes horrific prescriptions for how to run a society which no one takes at face value today - not even Orthodox Jews.

But the prime doctrinal source of the canonical New Testament - the Apostle Paul - both discards the entire Mosaic Law and re-affirms the condemnation of homosexuality as an abomination.

So anyone - on any side of this issue - would have to admit that the Bible and a homosexual lifestyle are irreconcilable.

That's just intellectual HONESTY.

A lot of Christians have decided to do with the New Testament what the Orthodox Jews have done to the Old...they reject it as an absolute source of authority. They say (for example) that Paul's understanding of a number of issues (slavery, woman's rights, etc) was clearly culture bound, and should not be used as a guide for living today.

Once you do that, you get all sorts of wiggle room, theologically speaking. But that's not the same as reconciling two irreconcilable world views.

I'm NOT a Christian, btw - so I don't have a dog in this fight either way. But I am a fan of intellectual honesty on the part of those that do.

It God made people homosexual, why then, in Leviticus 18:22, did he deem the act such an abomination that he placed it in a list of other sins deserving the death sentence?

It would be more honest for these people to simply disregard the bible altogether and write their own bible, where everyone's gay and "We all have aids."

At least then they wouldn't be hypocrites as they are now.

The Christian morons who follow the Buybull's tenants to what they believe is the absolute truth are amazingly stupid.

The contradictions both within the Buybull and their own beliefs is absolutely stunning and yet when confronted with those contradictions they simply revert to calling anyone with those questions, as anti Christian, terrorist lovers, anti American, etc. etc. Or they just get glassy eyes and say it's not proper to questions God's word.

It must suck to be that fucking stupid.

One of my currently favorite contradictions is Global Warming. The anti GW forces are the same one who claim the Earth is less than 10 thousand years old, BUT then say, "Well the climate change is normal and has been like that for the last several hundred thousand years. That we went through the same thing 125 thousand years ago. Or 15 thousand years ago, or several million years ago.

SO which is it?

No one knows what the intentions of God are, and just because Aids may have begun within that community, it certainly didn't stay there, because now, it has overtaken heterosexuals as well, but I guess that's o.k. What does the Bible say about that?

Great trailer. Even if you're not into, or like me, just plain TIRED OF gay "issues."

Why not let God do the judging and deciding. Why do people like Fred Phelps feel they're an exception to the "Judge Not" commandment given by Jesus.

And, as the film correctly points out, the Bible also states that eating shellfish is an abomination. All those shrimp cocktails...I'm doomed.
