horribly sad...
The part where they say they put pain on the students to show them how much pain they are causing others is disgusting. Those people, their parents and family, put the pain on themselves because of their own intolerance...fucking assholes.

SOME Muslim parents have stoned their daughters to death... when compared to the entire muslim population a very very small percentage have, and the only reason you have heard about that is that it is so abhorrant that it is reported on the internet.

opposing anything gay is a pretty common theme amongst the christian teachings...

is it not the christians who try to "pray the gay away" or try to "cure" homosexuality?

in fairness anti gay teachings are prevalent in both Christianity and Islam. or am I wrong and their is a Blue Oyster in downtown Tehran?
However, the small percentage that stones their children to death is probably less than the amount of parents that try to "convert" their children by having them kidnapped and sent to the Dominican republic, but I doubt either are really all that high.
I have no idea why that poster brought Islam into this, both religions have their horrible points...this one is about how horrible this school is..

pandora, according to all christian teachings homosexuality is wrong. have you heard of any other religion that does crap like pray the gay away or send them to straight camp? i haven't.

pandora

Yet another topic with outrageous subject matter so people can rant and claim
religion is bad

when it is some people within that religion that are bad

it would be like drawing a conclusion saying all gays lack understanding and love
they promote hate and disrespect towards any and all that do not agree with them
they are angry and spiteful towards those who will not accept them
and even towards those that do!

this would be ridiculous to even entertain...

when in reality most gays are understanding and loving people
an inspiration, secure in their fight for rights, and accepting
of those who are discouraging
they remain respectful and determined to overcome
and have what they deserve... this done without hate ...
this why the movement is growing

this good common sense for a peaceful loving world ... bridges built by love

people are individuals within their beliefs and loves
and to generalize is to dismiss that

So you believe all Christians who attend church and consider themselves Christians
believe homosexuality is wrong? and that wrong....

Boy are you wrong if that is the case ... you may not see the individuals within the church
I guess

I believe ALL christian teachings believe homosexuality is wrong. Key word there is teachings now do I believe all christians believe homosexuality is wrong no. However, like my mother a devout christian who believes it IS wrong she also accepts them for what they are people who happen to love the same sex.

Many different views on this my mother points to a few of these below....

http://www.twopaths.com/faq_homosexuality.htm

What Does the Bible say about Homosexuality?

There are twelve mentions of homosexuality in the Bible:

2 refer to rape (Genesis 19:5, Judges 19:22)
5 refer to cult prostitution (Deuteronomy 23:17-18, 1 Kings 14:23-24, 15:12-13, 22:46, 2 Kings 23:6-8)
1 refers to prostitution and pederasty (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
4 are nonspecific (Leviticus 18:21-22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Timothy 1:8-10)
Old Testament
The first mention in the Bible is in Genesis 19:1-13. The wicked men of Sodom attempted a homosexual rape of two messengers from God who had come to visit Lot. As a result of this and other widespread wickedness, God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in a storm of fire and brimstone.

The next two mentions are in Leviticus:

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. (NKJ, Leviticus 18:22)

If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. (NKJ, Leviticus 20:13)

Life was harsh in early Old Testament times. The wanderings and struggle for survival of the Israelites did not permit prisons or rehabilitation. Anyone who deviated seriously from the norm was either stoned to death or exiled. The Old Testament prescribed the death penalty for the crimes of murder, attacking or cursing a parent, kidnapping, failure to confine a dangerous animal resulting in death, witchcraft and sorcery, sex with an animal, doing work on the Sabbath, incest, adultery, homosexual acts, prostitution by a priest's daughter, blasphemy, false prophecy, perjury in capital cases and false claim of a woman's virginity at the time of marriage.

It must be emphasized that, according to the New Testament, we are no longer under the harsh Old Testament Law (John 1:16-17, Romans 8:1-3, 1 Corinthians 9:20-21). The concern with punishment is now secondary to Jesus' message of repentance and redemption. Both reward and punishment are seen as properly taking place in eternity, rather than in this life.

In Old Testament times, homosexual activity was strongly associated with idolatrous cult prostitution as in 1 Kings 14:24, 15:12. (There was also cult prostitution by females.) In fact, the word "abomination," used in both mentions of homosexual acts in Leviticus, is a translation of the Hebrew word tow' ebah which, according to Strong's Greek/Hebrew Dictionary, means something morally disgusting, but it also has a strong implication of idolatry. Thus, many Bible scholars believe the condemnations in Leviticus are more a condemnation of the idolatry than of the homosexual acts themselves. However, that interpretation is not certain.

Good American Christian fathers rape their sons and daughters and sit in the pews on Sunday. What is your point?

hedonist

Shameful.

I'll never understand how the way one lives his/her own life has such an impact on another's peace of mind.
