Elton John - Doesn't he sing "Don't let your son go down on me"?

>>Without the Ten Commandments to keep people in fear of breaking God's laws there would be anarchy. Instead of hating the sin of homosexuality, they would probably kill the homosexual, either that or use them as the whores they are.<<<


Uhhh... wouldn't that just make the "users" homosexual too, just nonconsensual ones...?

Also, I'm not at all convinced where the fear comes in. The ten statements or decalogue contain no threat of punishment for transgression. If you look at Jesus' summary, again you don't get fear but instead a call to love.

>>"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like unto it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.<<

If you dont see where the fear comes in . Do as you like. You wont have to pay, its a freebie.

Sir Elton John wants religion banned completely

So the benighted butt pirate from England is as tolerant as the muslims?

Interesting.

Speaking out against organized religion is basically the same as speaking out in favor of a single, unitarian religion...aka, the one-world religion of the New World Order.

I went back and double checked. There is no threat or punishment listed there or in Jesus's restatement. Where do you see the fear? I checked the KJV and NSV - is it a version difference?

And is fear the only reason you wish to please God and live and he says we should? I have found that loving the Lord and loving my fellow man has rewards - I feel happier and my life seems fuller

Good for you.

I guess you are being sarcastic but I was being serious.
