So on that note.
An article like this doesn't upset me it is just a person stating their beliefs.

The concept isn't necessarily mutually-exclusive.

Can you be in a Gay/Lesbian Marriage, Attend Church and Have A Belief of god? - Can they coexist?
.The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

do people realize that there is no difference between being a marriage of two homosexual people than two heterosexual people? Saying someone gets "gay married" is like someone saying people get "straight married", or playing "Canadian Hockey", it's the same thing and just redundant to say.
that being said, back when I still believed that there was a god I went to a nice church that was very openminded and there were a lot of gays going there. A lot of them got married there too.
that being said, i've yet to see anywhere in the bible that specifically says anything about gay marriage. Even if it does, who cares? It's not like it was written by god, it's a book. Religion is so frustrating, because everyone involved thinks their beliefs are right and everyone else is wrong.
People like me are the only one's who are right. I believe that it is not in my power or knowledge to say whether their is or isn't a god, and nor is it in the power or knowledge of anybody else. That is the only thing that is correct, and basically it's just saying that nobody knows, so why start fucking wars over shit.
SO that turned into a rant fast. Do I sense incoming salt from people?0 -
If you're ever in LA, come to my Episcopal church on a Sunday and see straight couples, gay couples, single people - both straight and gay, old people, young people, lots of children, a gay rector - so speaking about my own experience and my own church, the answer is yes. http://www.stmikessc.org0

Can they co-exist? Absolutely. It's amazing that some people still find it hard to accept gay marriage, even in the church. True,I say this as a non-religious person. I tried believing in a god and then realized it's great that life is mysterious without trying to define the unknown. But I don't have a bias against people who believe in God, as long as they don't insist others believe as they do.
Here's a great example of gay and church co-existing just fine. Malcolm Boyd was know as "The Gay Priest" and this book is a one of my few favorites in the spiritual realm of literature. He was a fine man and I had the pleasure of corresponding with him a few times.

what if you're a gay/lesbian felon who sells guns to children, drinks a lot of coffee, smokes a lot of drugs, goes through booze like wild, deals in black market slavery, eats fast food & buy a lot of crap - then what?

I personally very much appreciate Sullivan's take on pretty much everything, even if I don't agree with him. Always well thought out.0 -
Since about 90% or more of the world's population believes in God, I would assume that means about 90% of gays believe in God, give or take. And yes, some attend Church of course - I'd say that has something to do with individual experiences when it comes to acceptance of gays in their particular Church/religion. Many churches are very open to it, others not so much, and others are completely against it.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

that percentage seems unusually high...what is it, only 30% is christian, then the next is Islam (non-god believers, and then non-believers (atheist, agnostic, secular, etc), after that is Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism...PJ_Soul said:Since about 90% or more of the world's population believes in God, I would assume that means about 90% of gays believe in God, give or take.
