Not sure why people put a post and then have nothing useful to say haha
and yes religion has everything to do with it. as we are morally guided what is wrong and not.
Hate the sin and not the sinner thats also a funny one. Why what sins are you committing that u dont want to be hated for
Joke!!!!
1-well first of all your initial post had no real starting oiint of discussion but sharing of an opinion, that is why even others said what is there to discuss
2-religion has said no, as religion as said no to many other things. fact is that god made these ppl and it is their test to resist their temptations just like it is my test to resist the temptations of the hoochie mamas I see at the gym :(
3- hate the sin not the sinner is stated because everyone is weak, people can make mistakes and it is not you or I who will forgive them.
lastly, our approach and viewpoints on these are extremely lame. where is the support, even if someone believes that there is rehab needed, where is that, when all of a sudden all we do is start talking about hating them, then how do you even reach out to them if you want to do something about that i.e. education, discussion. Our approach, attitude about this forces these guys to live on the edges of society, alienated, many commit suicides, many get beaten up for who they are(whether or not believe that they are born this way or have made a choice)
so when we get into such heated viewpoints, just remember, at the end of the day theya re human beings, created by god, and by islamic viewpoint they may be wrong, but the topic, and they need to be handled in a more sensitive manner. Not asking ppl to go out and be pals with ppl theya re uncomfortable witjh, or to endorse their views, but just coexist in a civilized more manner than we see.
How would someone handle it if their son way gay or daughter was lesbian? would you just look down on them with disgust, cut off all ties, hate them..or will you maintain connection, even fully noting that you do not approve of their choice to act upon their feelings etc.
