God hates the sin not the sinner and let he that is without sin cast the first stone....
In addition, imagine you a hetero man were told you should never lay with a woman...Do you think your religion would stop you?

Despite popular beliefs, the vast majority of Catholic priests are celibate. A politician recently announced that at 53 years old he has remained celibate because sex is only allowed within the context of marriage.
Though it seems incomprehensible in this day and age, there are still people left and are really out there that have the discipline to practice self-control and adhere and really practice their beliefs.
And no where in the Bible, or in Christianity, does it implore one to hate the sin and not the sinner. That was said by Ghandi not Christ. It seems incongruous to profess to love someone and then condemn them to hell. Buddhism is a pacifistic belief system.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Like so many passages in the Bible: "Turn the other cheek.", "Judge not, lest ye be judged.", "Eye for an eye.", context is everything, my tranny loving friend.
First of all, that particular passage was never included in the original text and many believe it doesn't belong in the Book of John. But no matter. Like several instances in the Bible where many tried to "trip up" or "trap" Jesus and find inconsistencies in his teaching this was one of them. If Jesus allowed the woman to be stoned the Romans would seized them for violating their law. Adultery was punishable by exile and confiscation of property. A father was permitted to kill his daughter and her partner. And a husband was allowed to kill his wife's partner only under specific circumstances but only require to divorce his wife. Remember, adultery was defined as having sex with a married woman. This gave a married man a lot of leeway. He could, and many did, have sex with unmarried women.
Now, if Jesus allowed the woman to go free he would lose face with the people for not adhering to the law of Moses. The onus was now on the people, mostly Pharisees, who were put in the dilemma of admitting some sin or that their position meant more to them than Mosaic law.
So to reiterate: God hates a fag. And if you're a fag -- he hates you, too.
