I could be.
There exists within all of us the potential for great evil as well as acts of senseless kindness.
Which is why you believe nothing you hear and half of what you see.
Unfortunately today we have a society that feels that being offended is a great evil perpetrated upon them...as if it is an offense that should result in incarceration. Moreso than obvious psychosis.
There's nothing more pathetic than a person who has turned themselves into a mushroom...willfully in the dark and fed sterilized manure.
People shout "I'M OFFENDED" as if everyone should do something about it. Ok...well,
Boy bands and rap music are offensive to me. But I don't think anyone is going to do anything about it. And I don't expect them to. (Not into grunge metal either)
In truth I want to help the LGBT community and get them the mental Healthcare they need. They are sick. They need healing. What we have currently been doing has not worked. The "conversion therapy" of old was tantamount to abusive torture...of course that wasn't going to work. Nor has ridicule and scorn worked.
Like I've said all along...homosexuality is not the problem...it is only a symptom of a larger problem. Currently our society has washed its hands and is actively encouraging the psychosis. That's the worst thing of all to do.

Sinners need Jesus. What ever the sin is .. lying, cheating, murders those who dishonor parents, thief's etc. SOme sins cause more damage then others . When one steals a 100 dollars that can be repaid so the victim is made whole. Having been the victim of bad guys kicking in the door , with no real harm done , that takes a while to get over. Makes me imagen the hurts if harm had been done. What we call a little white lie can be easily forgiven. Lying to cause another harm, like falsely accusing some one of crime not so easy to get over for both parties, .
Sex sins most often have far reaching and long lasting damage . The young girl who is raped often turns promiscuous. An abused boy may believe he is a homosexual . Young couples having children or abortions. Sex sins can trap us . Many cult leaders will use sex for control . Sex sins are sins they are forgiven at the foot of the Cross as are all the other sins.
IF one does not believe in God or the Scriptures that does not keep them from eternal damnation.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Scripture has no meaning to those who do not believe they rant about something to them is not real , which is really dumb.
Gal 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
Gal 6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
2Pe 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Jesus himself said if someone isn't interested in the gospel, you walk away and wipe the dust from your feet.
I just think a lot of Christians have a weird obsession with homosexuality. The Bible also says gluttony is a sin but I don't see anyone going to a buffet and slapping a donut out of someone's hand

Obviously you don't understand what gluttony is.
People have issues with endocrine systems...on a genetic level. Not everyone is going to have genetics that make them trim and athletic. Your claiming that being overweight is a sin does not make it so.
Many righteous people in the Bible were what you would refer to as overweight. God apparently thought that they were the right size...but arguing with God seems to be something that you specialize in.

Just have to state the obvious here
1) eating a donut is not a sin
2) the sin of gluttony is more tolerated than it should be, while it does impact society negatively, so far they have not made themselves a group identified by their gluttony, demanding to be identified by their behaviour, redefining historical institutions and words...... but give it time it may happen and it will still be a sin

So ridiculous.
It is your issue far more than it is ours.
We desire/pray all people to made whole by the Grace of God.
Yes we can shake the dust off our feet, and we do.
But we are the ones living in reality, you are in a world of make believe, why..... because you fail to understand human nature.

Here's an article I found on crime in the LGBT community.
Some of it is likely due to a high rate of homeless LGBT teens because their parents kicked them out for being gay
Some of it could be due to being bullied in school so they retaliate
So it's a more complicated problem then they're committing crimes just because they're gay
LGBT people are also four times more likely to be the victims of violent crime

The meme asks a qestion; here are some responses:
"If you don’t attend, you should question calling yourself “Christian” - it seems pretty hypocritical. If we wish to be loved unconditionally - we must also love unconditionally. I cannot imagine abandoning my daughter on her wedding day."
"I’m being IN the wedding "
"We are called to “love” as Christians, we’re not called reject others. "
"I’ll be walking her down the aisle!!!!"
"I wish this wasn’t even a debate. Not only would I attend I would help her plan and support them both!"
"Yes, I will. Just because we don't Sin the same, it makes neither of us better or worse than the next person. "
Many of these comments are said by those who profess to be Christians. Is it true, and is it biblical? Are these responses in line with what God said?
I would like to know what would be your biblical response to this meme. Please support your answer with scripture. Not opinions.
Thank you
Do you know what happened to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah? Please refer the book of Genesis.
God created Adam and Eve. And God said, "Be fruitful and multiply." Not even animals do what we do as human beings sexually. Marriage is for procreation.
But God has given us free will to choose. His way leads to salvation. The other way does not.
We're speaking against God and against Christ when we support our own children who take that step. It's alright not to be a part of that. Because you didn't raise your child for that. However, that doesn't mean that you stop loving your child.
However those words are not the words of someone who knows Christ.
