Why?

They've been brainwashed by their groups to believe that's what their supposed to do, usually following one particular fanatics interpretation of the bible. Somewhere along the way they've forgotten that the main & most important message it has is to love one another. You can't do that when you bashing people.

Because that's how people are. I'm not going to touch the gay marriage issue...I don't want to get flogged but the music one has always bugged me. Last I checked my Bible did not have a section entitled "Thou shalt not listen to loud obnoxious music" nor did it state that guitars are evil and screamo is devil worship. In fact I don't recall my Bible metioning much of anything about music. If you believe the Biblical teaching that God gives talents then it stands to reason that all those "evil, devil worshipping musicians" were given that talent by God himself. It just doesn't add up, people can't have it both ways. "God created us all and He doesn't make mistakes"-we don't have to understand His creations, we're just supposed to respect them as further proof of His Glory.

It is because God says that it is wrong in the Bible. It is also that it leads to a greater sin and confusing people. It also demeans people. For instance, you hear about lesbians, and homosexuals, so you see two women holding hands, or two men hugging each other, and normally you would think, well maybe they are walking along an unfamiliar street and both women are reassuring each other, as for the men, maybe one of them lost his wife so the other is consoling them, but no, now you think maybe they are lesbians, maybe the man are lovers. A man rents a house and another man takes a room in that house, a woman rents an apartment and shares it with a woman friend, before it was they both worked at the same place, or could not afford to rent it on their own, now the question comes to their gender preference. As for witchcraft movies, in the old days, we watched a movie and we got the impression that witchcraft was bad, even white witches. Now witchcraft is portrayed as good people, while those muddles are rejects and the witches that have non witch background are bad because the the non witches in their background. And there is such a thing as tempting the devil. Some can watch a movie about witchcraft and why do homosexuals have to announce to all "I'm gay." Well I suffer from S.A.D and low grade depression, maybe I should announce it to a homosexual next time he says he's gay.

Because a devote and true Christian believes what they believe because it is what the bible tells us. And to speak of the gays and such, I feel this way, I'm not going around expressing that I'm straight so why do they have this need to tell me and the world that they're gay? I don't need to know about that no more than they need to know that about me.

WOW!!! i must say from alot of the topics ur posting about i LIKE UR VIEWS!!! its one of my peevs too - but to a lesser degree! IVE learned since to just let people be people - to each his own - no sence in making people see that it would be such a better place .. the WORLD... if we just accepted people as they are - ...as long as they arent hurting, murdering or anything like that !! of course - lol makes me wonder whats *eatting* them so much to be worried about what others do in their own home, behind closed doors or why HATING someone for what they feel and think is so important -- only causes wrinkles and u rot from the inside out lol ( my two cents on that ) lol -- hmmm only therapits could HOPE to dive into all that and know why!?-- lol lol xxx

I don't believe that gay marriage is right, but I don't protest. You can be a Christian and pray for people or pray that things don't get passed without making a huge scene in front of everyone. When it comes to television, i choose what i want to watch and what i don't want to watch, but i don't complain about the things on tv. it's not my place to judge anyone. i don't have to agree, but i do have to respect other people which is what i do. God bless

I look at it this way to each his own we all are different we all listen to different mucsic and all dress different that what makes us who we are

Why do ppl do it? LOL because they have nothing better to do with their sorry arsed time and they fear what they dont understand but are too damn stubborn to research, talk to ppl and open their minds which are all negative qualities that personally have zero patience for

I don't understand it either, but wouldn't want to stop them from protesting; although I might show up to counter protest! I Don't believe that the Bible says it's bad to be gay. My church marches in our local pride parade, after all. I'm sick of people thinking that all people of faith are crazy. I'm a progressive person of faith and darn proud of it! My favorite Bible verse is "What does the Lord require of you. To do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God." Micah 6:8

Because that is the way they practice their religion. They really Do think that a movie about these things is an sin and everyone who watches it will go to hell. I feel sorry for these people but it is a free country and they have the right to be this way. In fact I want to thank every "Real" Christian who protested The Last temptation Of Christ because I wouldn't have seen it if they didn't protest the film.When it came out, I thought Another sword and sandal film to miss. Why should I see this film? But then the protests started and I Had to see why. And I am so glad I did. So your pet peeve was the best thing for me in this case.I got to see and enjoy a fine film.

hey well nowdays this is happening every in the world. people do not want to enetre the modern world. sorry. first let you know i am not gay. i am staright. look people want to enter the modern world with new technologies etc, but by this way they donot want it. i donot know why.

I hate this too. Especially the religious groups that picket Gay/Lesbian functions or congregate in front of abortion clinic. They are so animate about getting these people to change, showing them that what they are doing is wrong. But if they are so religious, how come they didn't remember the scripture "Judge not lest ye be judged"? What these people are doing is wrong in the eyes of the Lord, granted. But its not our job to scream at them about it!!! They will have their turn in front of St. Peter and they will have to account for what they have done, its not our place to condemn these people, that is God's job!!!

Ok, so whats so bad about Gay Marriage or Witchcraft. Do you realise the Church burned or otherwise murdered millions during the Dark Ages in Europe, just because they were suspected of being witches? Where in the bible does it say Witchcraft is "bad?" It was the Pope who said witchcraft was bad, because the witches were doing so much good for the people and the church was sitting on its thumbs. Why do people cliche witchcraft when they know almost nothing about it, and think its Bad just because of the way it looks?

People can be closed minded especially those blinded by religion and can't see anyone else's perspective. I feel really sorry for those people.

Because we are blind so we only see their religion is the light of our life. So we will follow the light of our life that we think will save us, will bring the goods thing for us, will heal us from wounds and more more more...If something is out of that light... It will be the devil. We will destroy it that's how the religion start...

Because people who say these things have been brain washed by their religious leaders or parents. They don't have the ability to think for them selves and are just quoting a book like a good little sheep. Yeesh, that was harsh, wasn't it? Oh, well. The truth hurts.

I agree. Some people can be so narrow minded when they belong to weird, exclusive type religions. Now, these weird religions can even be something as "common" as Southern Baptist. They believe that their way is the ONLY way. As a science fiction/fantasy fan I recognize people have different choices they make. A priest in the church I used to attend and I used to share sf/f books.

some people have very closed minds and they use the bible to justify that. I really don't think you should let them get to you much at all. Why do thay do it....who knows? does it really matter. just stick to your own beliefs and don't worry what others think.

Two words; 'ignorance' and 'righteousness.' Attacking something that they fell is 'wrong' makes some people feel good about themselves. Well, I guess it makes a lot of people feel good to combat 'evil'. Unfortunately many people are ignorant of the reality of the things they attack (this goes for the conservatives as well as the libertarians), either through lack of education or not caring to understand. The first is fixable for those with open minds, the latter have closed minds; they do not care who they hurt in their 'battles' as long as THEY can feel good and righteous. Short... post... I'm usually more wordy than this...
