Thread Name: BS: major religions and homophobia
Subject: RE: BS: major religions and homophobia
The bottom line is this: if you're going to be a member of a religion, you might as well believe what that religion teaches. If you don't like the teachings of any given religion, then you are free to start your own religion. I would never tell somebody what to do, but my religion says basically, "if you want to be one of us, here's what you gotta do." If you don't want to be one of us, fine, go your own way. Here are the tools and rules we have inherited. If you would like to join us, feel free. If not, that's your choice.

But the idea of telling me that I should try to change my religion because it doesn't meet your idea of what a religion should teach about some particular issue? And who appointed you God?
