I do not believe that the bible can be taken literally, word for
word. Therefore, its intepretation is up to the reader. As nobody
thinks the same way, whenever anyone quotes the bible to me, I
listen, but I do not comment.
I do not believe homosexuality itself is wrong. It, too is a kind
of love, and caring for others.
It is hard to agree on what sin is, so I shall not comment on that.
However, when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is wrong
to deliberately harm yourself or others. (Note
that I'm not saying everything else is right.) Now, I do not
believe homosexuals are harmful, or will do anything wrong to me.
They can't even have children, therefore, they will always be in
the minority. Therefore, they do not bother me, and I do not bother
them, or go out of my way to bother them.
Why do I defend them? Well, I'm not too sure myself. I'm straight,
in case anyone's wondering.
Maybe I just feel
that it's wrong to bother people who have done nothing wrong to us,
except that they're different.
I have heard that homosexuals "undermine society's moral fabric".
Well, I feel that there is nothing to undermine.
All immorality springs from ourselves. Nobody can make you change
your mind about anything, as long as you are strong enough not to
give in to peer pressure. No one can make me gay, because I prefer
ladies, and no one can make me smoke or take drugs because I know
that they will harm me and people around me. In fact, smokers cause
more harm to people around them than gays, I don't hear anyone
reacting the same way to smokers.
However, all this is my own, personal views, which I have come to,
after careful thought, and thinking things out. I have no bible to
quote from, but I hope I have presented my views in a logical,
reasonable fashion.
I conclude by saying that homosexuals should be left alone. They do
not harm the society.
