It paints a more reconsilatory picture I think.

Only in the minds of liberal pseudo-intellectual apologists. The tradition (Catholic, Orthodox) is very clear on this issue.

Why do gays even want to be Christians? Its like if a Jew wanted to join the Sturmabteilung.

It shows how far this particular minority (this label is an ironic can of worms) has gone in regards to public opinion and religeous persecution.

"Why do gays even want to be Christians?"
I think that is the question.

But yeah "liberal pseudo-intellectual apologists"

Why would gays want to become Christians? Why wouldn't they? If you want to be an equal member of a society, you should have access to membership in the same organizations straight people do. Otherwise, you're a second-class citizen. Add this to the fact that many gays are religious, or have family or community ties with churchgoers, and it's a pretty obvious question. Gays want to become Christian for the same reasons straights become Christian.

I'm not going to waste everyone's time pointing out how stupid the nazi comparison is. I shouldn't have to.






















hasn't had a profound influence on our culture for hundreds of years. Because the Sturmabteilung isn't a source of spiritual comfort and community for millions of people.

Christ, what a profoundly stupid question. There's no reason why you should have to choose between being gay or Christian. Even if you buy the idea that homosexuality is a sin, every Christian is a sinner in some way anyhow. The tradition allows for homosexuals to join by its own logic. What's preventing them from doing so isn't dogma, it's this obsession many Christian sects have with putting a disproportionate emphasis on the gay issue.

It's not a matter of apologism, it's a matter of understanding the situation. Considering how fast progress is being made in this

Wow, that formatted all weird. I blame sodomites.

GOD HATES XENOCIDE.

Personally, I think some homosexual's want to be accepted as Christian because in some shape or form it is absolution for them and their identity.

If a religion is hostile to your very identity, I don't really see any benefit in embracing it. Why is choosing a religion any different from choosing a political party?

Btw, the SA WAS a source of comfort and a community for millions of people. It also had clear spiritual aspects.

Because religion is in most cases is more intrinsically tied to your upbringing than political ideology.

Also, faith is by definition is irrational.

Where do you live?

its not impossible, just very stupid

When your book of eternal wisdom calls you an unnatural abomination that should be killed, you've either got to recognize it's not a reliable source and just what people were making up ages ago based on their ignorance and invention, or practice a religion of self-loathing.

You can of course ignore all the bad stuff and pretend only the good stuff is divinely inspired. That just requires some intellectual dishonesty and our old friend, cognitive dissonance.
