I generally try to stay away from these threads, but this time I'm going to say something.

I'm always dissapointed when I read these threads at the hateful things "Christians" will say. Mean, hateful remarks. Like I'm going to hell, or I'm compared to a drug user, a child molester or any other sort of bad person, or that I deserve AIDS. Now I'm not saying that I disrespect your opinion. Because I am open minded and I believe that you have a right to think what you want. But the bible I grew up with taught me not to judge others.

For example PCB (sorry to bring you into this) strongly believes that homosexuality is wrong. But I respect her opinion and respect her because she had never said anything mean or hateful or judgeful. She just states why she feels the way that she does, but she's never been hurtful. That to me shows that you understand the teachings of God.

When I look at my girlfriend I don't see someone I just want to have sex with. I don't see something I need (like a drug). I see the most amazing person I've ever met. I see a woman that I want to amaze and make happy. I want to bring her flowers, make her dinners, take her on surprise vacations. Hold her close to me and let her know I love her as much as I could possibly love anyone. I want to grow old and have a family. I want a wedding, I want a house with a white picket fence, I want a dog and cats and 2.5 children.

If I'm evil and I "burn in hell" then a lifetime of love is worth an eternity in hell. But you know what, those of you that judge and are hateful and mean will have to deal with a judgement as well.

Despite everything that has been said, I will still have respect and hope that maybe you worded things wrong. Or maybe you don't understand and didn't mean to be judgemental but you were just trying to state your opinion. I will always try to think the best of people, because that's the way I was brought up.
