Christian Group At Gay Pride Saying "Sorry"

The comments were making me happy until all the Christians came in with their "wow so awesome guys. God loves EVERYONE__@@!@, he only hates the sin". Just shut up seriously. Honestly those people are more annoying than the blatant homophobes who I can just dismiss as ignorant and unintelligent.

 

At least now they'll leave us alone. Hopefully.

 

Nice!!

 

So true!! For the annoyance. That they believe forms of love being a sin and that gay people shouldn't be allowed to love each other. That's so wrong.
Still less worse than lots of physical/legal abuse though.

 

I know at the Pride Parade in Toronto -- the Anglican (Episcopal) Church, United Church and Metropolitian Churches usually have floats.

 

i remember seeing this on one of the facebook groups quite a while back, last year.

Faith in humanity restored it was called.

 

As a gay christian I welcome gay friendly christian groups if they want to be at gay pride only if they are fully accepting of the gay community. I can see how this sign can offensive and it should have not been used in the gay pride parade.

 

I just saw this on facebook and it did indeed restore my faith in humanity

 

I saw this. It's a start, isn't it? I have greater faith in humanity now, even if they still say they hate the 'sin'. Baby steps, people. It's progress no matter what.

 

I don't think we can dismiss them as ignorant or unintelligent; that's unfair to them. I am sure that their homophobia is very carefully considered. What that makes them is evil.

I hate the "love the person, hate the sin" line, because it doesn't actually work. The love of the person has to proceed from acceptance, which is precluded by "hating the sin" of same-gender attraction.

How is the sign offensive? It's saying "as Christians we are sorry for the way some of our brothers and sisters behave towards you." That's a message of brotherhood. If that's offensive to other Christians, then it needs to start happening a lot more.

 

Sorry I was mistaken. I was confused by your post just ignore that. The sign was not offensive to me at all.

 

I could not agree more. I am gonna get a lot of crap for this but anti-religious hatred can be just as hateful as homophobia. Yes people have been hurt by religion I can completely agree with that but that does not justify shutting out and generalizing a group of people.

 

I know a lot who believe in God but don't believe in religion and they worship God as much as people who go to church. Forgiveness is what can solve a lot problems we have in this world if people would just use it more often.
