Re: I feel like college is changing my friend
@Andi93, a few things:
1. Gay is not how things were created? really? It exists in the jungle, of all places. It exists in populations of such things as primitive and natural as insects.
Are birds and bees sinners, when their brains are far too primitive to comprehend much beyond how to seek food and respond to instinct/acute stimuli (fight or flight, etc)?
Are you afrade of knowledge because it would challenge the norms that shaped your upbringing?
If not, I challenge you to check this out:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexua … in_animals
It talks about hormones and genes in species such as the common fruit fly.
So why would a loving god punish someone for their genetics, brain structure or prenatal exposure to hormones, when he himself made a conscious choice to set them on that course of development? Doesn't that sound just a little megalomanic? Kind of like how he punished the world for eternity because two people were tricked into eating the wrong piece of fruit? (spoiler: he scripted that event).
2. God loves the sinner, not the sin-that's reasonable, except it poses the same question. Why would god define something as sin, only to create lives on a collision course with it and no means of changing trajectory? That sounds a kin to someone who hates violence inventing a new weapon of mass distruction, by virtue of free will, so he can live with guilt over his invention and so others can suffer the consequences of it. That's sadomasochistic.
I fully respect differences of opinion. but I think it's disingenuous to outright call people bad -- just because your book of choice says they are-- and then dodge legitimate questions and take offence to opposition without being able to counter their points.
Lastly, to something being either good or bad:
God says that judgement is his duty alone, does he not?
Therefore, according to your own rules:
*homosexuality is bad because the bible says so,
*taking God's job into your own hands is bad because the bible says so,
*therefore, because any act has to be either exclusively good or exclusively bad, your actions must be, exclusively bad?
For the record: I'm not saying you're a bad person. but you contradict your own rules, suggesting that you are yourself above god's law and the rest of the world isn't.
