I strongly recommend a book called "THE UNHAPPY GAYS: What Everyone Should Know About Homosexuality" by Tim LaHaye

power of the Holy Spirit!

So, you have been given solid, well researched evidence stating that Homosexuality is not a choice. What do you do? Regurgatate what you read, no matter how shaky the author has been with other books and dealings in the past. Brilliant.

Problem is, LaHaye has been criticized widely among both the laymen and the religious scholars over the content of his most popular series, the Left Behind books. Thelogically inaccurate, misconstruing Biblical verses, and in some cases extrapolating Biblical events to unfounded outcomes.

Lets move on to a few links.

Now, do you still believe it is wise to follow a man with such a delusional world-view, who follows his own religion, not Christianity?

Edit: Don't even get me started about the Left Behind FPS. LaHaye and his software team want you to convert or be murdered. http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/5/29/195855/959

Edit #8 Holy crap! I'm getting flooded with good links. Keep up the good work, people, and feel free to PM me with more evidence of this guy being a paranoid whackjob! This is the 8th edit to add more linkage, sorry!

No, and i dont want to be. I dont know how to vote. Weird poll!

Yeah, two side by side unlabeled options, one row apparently for yes and one for no. I tried voting no, but oddly enough I had to vote yes too. Perhaps an Admin should reset/reformat the poll?

If that is the highlight of your life, I can only say that I am sorry for how miserable your life must have been before; not that your new Christian life will be much better.

Spoken like a true hater.

Becoming a Christian was/is the highlight of my life. The trouble with people that hate Christians, and other "religion" is that you hate almost everything, and you attack people for having "faith" in anything.

You call people "losers" and "miserable" and attack everything about them. It's funny, because the Bible speaks exactly of people like you.

I'm a Christian, and I have respect for you if you’re a Hindu, Muslim, Atheist or whatever, but you have no respect for anything or anyone. You tear down, you don't build up, cause you don't care about anything.

You don't have to agree with someone, but you should at least have some sort of common respect for other humans. But most of you don’t. It’s pathetic, and shameful.

Where do you see hate ?

He didn't insult her, he just said that it was sad.

And I understand why he said that because you can't understand the "born again" thing if you aren't yourself a "born again".

i guess i'm not insulted in anyways...but then if i was a third person looking at this...i would say he did insult me in a way...by saying that my life was miserable since becoming a christan was such a great thing...but i do agree with u on saying that he wuoldn't understand the feeling of being "born again" and it was a feeling that i got when i became a christian...i felt a new strength in me...and i jsut wanted to say...i had an awesome life before i became a christan...but after....it was even better...i had a goal in life..and a purpose...my life became more "valuable" in a way and miracles happen...and i've been a happier person ever since <33

Athiest. Anything based around faith (ie. believing in something despite there being no proof or possibility of proof) seems like an entirely bad idea to me.

Well now some Christians join in thank God for all of you.

We need to just keep praying for everyone.  I praise God for all of you for standing for what you believe in.

Being Born Again is the greatest thing that can happen to you.

Sorry, but learning of His ultimate noodly nature and being Touched by His noodly appendages are the greatest things that can ever happen to you.  And let us not forget the True prayer:

Our Pasta, who art in the Great Pasta Bowl, hallowed be HIS name. Thy beer volcano come. Thy will totally be done, on Earth as it is in the Great Pasta Bowl. Give us this day our daily delicious farking noodles. And forgive us our lack of sauce, As we destroy those who took our sauce from us. And lead us not into dry, cracked cassarole, But deliver us to the stripper factory. For HIS might is the kingdom, and the noodly appendage, and the meatballs, for ever and ever. rAmen.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster will forgive you for not believing in him before he Touches you.

Why did you bother posting that it just makes you look like an idiot.

Because there's only 1 thing Marconius hates more than America, and that's Christians.

Obviously many fail to appreciate good satire these days...

Jeez, right over your heads.  The basis of the FSM is one of the reasons why I greatly dislike christianity in America.

I must agree.

Love of pasta would be a different forum post.

Apparently you both missed the point. Anyway, Disciple, I see you have completely abandoned your previous anti-homosexual position, though I expected no less given its hopeless nature. I expect it would be too much to hope to get you to admit that you were wrong.

Are any christians in this thread going to support an honest, intelligent discussion? Or just tell us how fantastic being a christian is, because I could just go to church if I wanted that.
