Bible and homosexuality

How can it be deemed anything but rude to try to force your beliefs upon others?

Oh that's great

And Jim Bon Jovi, like your sig, Bloc Party

well spotted


to me forcing ones belief is:

couple of years ago I hung out with a group of folk and one was a girl who was a heavy catholic, no sex before marriage and what not.

everytime we'd be at a party she'd start ranting on about how I should be ashamed because I'd had sex and wasn't married/ fell out with the person since / was going against the bible and going to hell. I was like:

1, i'm not a catholic why the **** would i care anyways
2, it's a bit late, why the **** would i care anyways
3, you do shit i don't agree with (like annoying me with this bollocks) but i don't jump down your throat about it and why the **** would i care anyways.


to me NOT forcing ones belief is:

door goes, i answer

Jehovah dudes: hi we're from the church of latter day saints

Jim: hi we're not interested to be honest

Jehovah dudes: ok could we just ask why if you don't mind

Jim: im not religious and everyone in the house who is are comfortable with their beliefs

Jehovah dudes: thanks very much sorry for troubling you.


now had it been during the OC i might have been pissed off

...not coming to your door at all

exactly!!!

Nothing worse than random people showing at my doorsteps demanding I open the door for them. No matter what religion they push.

Exactly. I am very anti-religious, not simply atheist but strongly against it, but I don't go door to door telling people that.

Maybe we should

Yet you keep posting on here on how silly religion is. That's forcing it a tad too.

I don't like people who are "open" about religion anyway. They make me feel unconformtable. I think religion or religious beliefs should be kept to oneself. No door-knocking, no leaflets, no preaching. But apart from that I think everyone should be left to believe what they see fit - be it God, be it Martians, be it the Cookie Monster.

This is a discussion on religion, I was simply stating what I thought of it, I was not sending PMs to people to try to "convert" them as I have had sent to me from others here.

now we're talking
