Should I be bothered that my friend is homophobic?

because that guy is trying to make it look like the bible accepts homosexuality, it clearly doesnt. And yes i've read it lol.

Who cares?

Is she planning to go out and attack homosexuals for the sake of them being gay, or does she just dislike them? It's only a concern if it's the former.

I've had this friend for about a year and she is quite a nice person, but a few days ago we came across the topic of homosexuality. Well rather she and her family were making a joke about someone being a lesbian but in a nasty way, and they well all laughing. So then I casually asked if her family were homophobic which she replied yes, and then I asked if she was too, and she said yes, without even hesitating.
Since then I have been slightly uneasy because I find discrimination against any group of people, whether by race, sexuality etc is disgusting. What's worse is that she's a Christian, and I thought Christianity was about loving one another but whatever (I just find it hypocritical).

Basically, I'm just feeling off with her. Am I overacting? I just think about the comments she made and her definitive answer of openly admitting she's homophobic, and it frankly still pisses me off.

But then this means that you are discriminating against the discriminators : p

People go on about respecting other peoples beliefs and feelings well then in that case the feelings of homophobics should be respected too (not neccesarily liked). Not liking homosexuality and not respecting the homosexual are 2 different things. People cannot help their beliefs what they can help is their attitudes and actions (whether or not they discriminate). As long as they are not harming anyone and outwardly respect everyone equally people can and will believe what they like.

Homophobic and Christian... I bet she's the life and soul of a party.

Christianity is about following the scriptures recorded in a book (called the Bible), it is not about love. It is not about friendliness. It is not about chicken sandwich. All those might be part of it but they are not the embodiment of it.

This is the effect of the ignorance of religion created by Western media. It is shocking people don't even know the basics of what Christianity is and just regurgitate platitudes they have heard.

No, I mean have you REALLY read it? "Studying" it in R.E doesn't count btw.
Please expand on how "come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" relates in anyway to homosexuality, let alone accepting homosexuality? Actually, you know what, please don't bother replying to this thread at all. Reading from your posts, I don't think I can handle talking to someone who still thinks sexuality is a choice.

Well what do you expect from a ****ing christian? Rational thought? Sensible opinions?

LOL I am flattered you took the time to look into me you QTpie! But that's the point. He's using that quote and relating it to homosexuality. That's exactly my point. Also, i was christian before i converted clearly you didnt read my posts in very much detail my lovely.

Please enlighten me what Christianity is about then, unless you said it all in your first sentence "Christianity is about following the scriptures recorded in a book"?

I have said it all in that line. What ever is in the bible. And what is in the bible is not only love nor is it all about love.

Where did you get your knowledge that Christianity is all about love from?

Of course I didn't look into your posts into much detail, it just takes one post to know what your opinions are since you seem to enjoy debating about homosexuality.

This thread is NOT about debating about homosexuality. That's where you're going wrong. I am simply saying that everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether homosexuality is right or wrong is irrelevant.

Stop trying to stir up topics which aren't existent in this thread, no one is saying she is not entitled to an opinion. Please go take your "homosexuality is a sin" attitude else where, where someone will care.

LOL, that's the topic! Have you even read it? Not once have i mentioned homosexuality being a sin, i haven't presented a stance on it in this thread. I've simply advice the OP that she should realise that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, whether they want to like homosexuality or not is their CHOICE. They shouldnt be forced into it, or guilt tripped etc. I told the OP, if she can accept that then there's no reason her and her friend can't be friends. But as long as her friend isnt malicious towards homosexuals. you are the one who has brought up whether homosexuality is a sin or not -.- I haven't mentioned it lol

Not tryna be funny. But there's also a place in the bible that says being gay is a sin. I just hate people quoting bible to suit their argument. It's clearly not allowed in the bible, so stop trying to make it look ok in the eyes of christianity when it's clearly NOT. I'm not even christian myself, but stop trying to make a common stone look like a diamond. If you get my drift.
