Are most Homosexuals Atheists and Non Religious ? I ask this since you can't be a Homosexual Jew or a Homosexual Christian and or a Homosexual Muslim. The God of Abraham hates Homosexuality and Homosexuals and the Gay Lifestyle.

Very few Christians believe in all of the stuff in the Old Testament. In fact, it is quite possible that none of them do. I haven't heard a Christian talk about having to stone a rape victim lately, for instance. There are several churches out there that are open to gays, including the Metropolitan Church, the United Church of Canada, the Quakers, the Unitarian Universalists, and even some dioceses of the Anglican Church.

I personally am gay and not at all religious, as is my uncle. But I realized I was an atheists well before I realized that I was gay. I don't know what the relative numbers would be, but there are plenty of gay religious people out there, including a few gay clergy members (in the most liberal churches).

I've met religious gay people before. It happens. Why wouldn't they exist? They're far more real than your zombie sky god.

Yes, the old law has passed away, the love and forgiveness of Jesus replaces it.

Actually according to the bible that's not true, it's just the common line of thought.

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."-Matthew 5:17

:wink:

So now you're openly showing off how the bible contradicts itself, and you still choose to follow it? :lol:

Fortunately the God of Abraham is dead. He became unfashionable some time ago and was replaced with Jesus, who said nice things when he wasn't slaughtering pigs, burning fig trees for being out of season and bringing down the government.

You can and do get homosexuals of all faiths. I've certainly met a few gay Christians. While your faith is a product of the culture you grow up in, homosexuality is part of who you are.
