That would completely defeat the purpose of religion. It isn't about what people think or feel or want to do, it is about a certain way to live your life and you must be the one to change. Lots of people think that believing only some things in a religion and leaving out the stuff they don't like that they are still what ever they choose to call themselves. Like Christians for example; lots of people call themselves Christians but then they publicly disagree with many of the beliefs held by Christians, meaning they aren?t Christians at all (note: I'm not calling all Christians hypocrites, just the ones that practice like above). You can't just rewrite the rules of a religion because they are inconvenient, because then you just destroyed it.
All right, that is enough preaching (especially considering I don't know where I stand with my own faith), on to the gay issue. I used to not be able to stand gays, at all. But the destruction of your ignorance gives you insights to things you didn't understand before. I hate that for so long a judged people based on their sexuality; it is so fucking shallow it sickens me now. I realize that you can't choose whom you love, it just happens. And while I still don't like gayness, I?m not going to judge anyone on one small thing that I personally disagree with; what business is it of mine? People are people and I will make decisions about them one at a time.
