First of all, how dare the writer of this article even attempt to compare equal rights for gays and Blacks. Being Black is NOT a sin, contrary to popular belief. Therefore, you cannot the compare the rights to those of gays to the rights of Balcks when dealing with it in a spiritual sense.

First of all, I have to say that Jennifer Hudson never said we are a bunch of sinners, it was not put so negatively. Her belief, because of the way she was raised, is that homosexuality is a sin. So what?! She was not being discriminatory and she was not hateful. She was answering a question as honestly as she could. I believe that we, the gay community, should excercise the same understanding and acceptance that we ask of everyone else. I think it’s hypocritical to be all “Go Hudson!” one day and do a complete turn around because she feels a certain way. People have feelings and beliefs, and we, as adults, should learn to understand that and not be so sensitive to unimportant matters.

When it comes down to it, this is not really an important matter. How about focusing on things like the war, poverty, AIDS, cancer, public education, our kids, our families, our community (and not just the gay one, there’s a whole big world outside of our bars and antique stores). Let’s put a lid on the unnecessary subjects. Yes, Lance is gay, Yes, he broke up with Reichen, Yes, Colin Farrell is hot, Yes, Brad cheated on Jennifer with Angelina. Let’s focus on our own lives for once.

Good night to all of you.

Having faith alone DOES guarantee a seat in heaven according to Christians. Do Christians believe they should just keep right on sinning? No, they change their ways to show they are thankful for faith and to praise God. They do not have to ‘ask’ for forgiveness (since it is freely given by God and we do nothing to earn it) nor do they have to do good works to get into heaven.

Since I believe you seem to be a Christian, let me give you a bible passage. Note, I’m only saying this because I think it has meaning to you (like I said before, there’s no point spouting bible quotes to people who don’t value the bible).

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)

8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9not by works, so that no one can boast.

Now, that’s not saying no gay people are going to hell. If, according to Christians, they don’t believe in Jesus as their Savior they will go to hell–but that’s the same of straight or gay people, nothing to do at all with their sexuality. But their sheer act of being gay will not send them to hell.

First, to Action’s statements above, wrong, wrong, wrong!! Some Christians do believe in the fires of hell and that one will spend eternity there for sins. If you belive in God, Jesus Christ and Heaven, them you MUST believe in the existence of “the fires of hell” and their purpose! Having faith alone does not guarantee you a ticket in to heaven! To receive this pass you must ask for forgiveness, from God, for your sins. It’s not like you are allowed to commit sin after sin after sin, but, oh my, as long as I have faith I’m in! Please!!

Secondly, I commend Ms Hudson for her response. Kudos to her!! Everyone in this country has the legal right to live their life in whatever “lifestyle” they choose, thank GOD for the USA. By the same token, everyone has the right to believe and worship as they see fit. It would be a much better society if we all carried our beliefs and faith with us, expressed it when necessary, kept it private when necessary, and, by the grace of GOD, have the knowledge to know the time and place for each!!

“admitting you believe homosexuals are going to burn in hell.”

Most Christian’s don’t believe that if you sin you’ll burn in hell. Because, if that were the case, everyone would be in hell, no matter who you are or what you believe. Sins are forgiven and it’s not the acts one does that gets them into heaven it’s the faith they have. So no, I don’t think there’s any reason that Christians need to admit that homosexuals will burn in hell, since the act of sinning* doesn’t send you to hell, it’s the lack of faith that does.

*Of course, this all depends on the basic principle that Christians think that Homosexuals are sinning. I don’t really fall on that side of the camp.

Free speech is about respecting the universal right to state an opinion. It doesn’t necessarily respecting that opinion. I’ll defend anyone’s right to bring God/Jesus into a conversation, just as I’d expect them to defend my right to say I’m an atheist and couldn’t care less about what God/Jesus had to say about anything (or better, what some dude claimed God/Jesus had to say about anything). But in the end, I still think “the Bible says so” has got to be the weakest argument one can bring to a discussion. There should be a new Godwin’s Law, in fact, just for these matters. Themes that are as important as gay marriage, abortion and stem cell research should not come down to believing what one book says or not.

To be more on topic, saying “hey, I think it’s omgwrong, but we’re all sinners, I have gay friends, lalala” is not that much better than just going out and admitting you believe homosexuals are going to burn in hell.

As has been said, there’s nothing bigoted about her beliefs. I think homosexuality is wrong, but then every single person on earth is a sinner, according to the Bible – even me. So, while I am against homosexuality, I’m no more against someone who lives that way than I am against myself. I’m not a better human specimen than they are.

But the Bible does say, quite explicitly, that homosexual relations are wrong, and I do take the Bible at its word – ludicrous though it may be to some of you. That’s my two cents.
