Logically, if God saw the need for a companion for man and created woman, then men and women are meant to be together.
My beliefs are based on scripture. If you can show me scripture contrary to what I am saying please do.
You're assuming that we believe the fairy tail that you obviously do.
We don't.
There is nothing wrong with being gay and homosexuals deserve the same rights, respect, and dignity as any straight person.
I did not pop in here to condemn anyone, in fact if you read my posts it's just the opposite. However, I am not going to let anyone spread misinformation claiming it's scripture-based.
Please, read my posts first.

Logically, god created a woman so that the two would be able to procreate. This does not indicate that homosexuality is a sin.
If the only scripture you can rely on to condemn homosexuality is from Leviticus, but you ignore all the other silly laws in Leviticus, then you're not basing your condemnation of homosexuality on anything other than what you've been taught to believe.
God created procreation. If He wanted to he could have made two men able to produce a baby. That's not the case.
You can absolutely argue this point, however I am arguing a certain way based on scripture (specific scripture as well as examples) so if you want to argue with me then provide scripture to the contrary.
Also, do you believe beastiality is a sin? No one ever answered that question for me.

1) Thanks for correcting me. Woman was not created for man, she was created to further glorify God (as I mentioned in my second point). What I should have pointed out is that when God wanted a companion for Adam he created a woman, not another man.
2) Ego trip? Yes, when you are the omniscient, omnipotent creator of all then you have every right to create everything to glorify you.
3) Jesus did die for our sins as a sacrifice and gift from God. "for God so loved the World he gave his one and only Son"
Gifts must be accepted. What Jesus changed is that we don't have to focus on the law or how much or little we have screwed up. We only have to focus on passionately pursuing Christ.
So.....the sum of all those seems to say that the only reason we exist is to glorify God in some way, and to pursue his dead son. Why are you wasting time on ATOT then? Shouldn't you be at some church, telling God how awesome he is, 24/7?
No, actually. That's not what God has called me to do. I can glorify God in many different ways. Through parenthood, through treating my coworkers fairly and with love, through beautiful music or photography.
Just because we were created to glorify Him doesn't mean we aren't allowed to have a life or to do anything other than go to church. I go to the movies, I go out, I watch football with my friends (go Cowboys!).
