The heterosexual lifestyle?

[undergroundpanther]

If heterosexual christians think being gay is a Lifestyle...

Tell me what do theheterosexuals have? Another lifestyle? They have a heterosexual orientation so it must be the heterosexual lifestyle..right?

fundie christian heterosexual,is a lifestyle plus a CHOSEN religion.That's what I get when I use the heterosexual christian life stylers arguments against gays, it can apply to the heterosexual christians too.

Could it be christian fundamentalist bigotry twords gay people is all rooted in a person choosing to take part in a religious lifestyle? A lifestyle that thinks it is justified by a bible that demands it's adherents to that kind of christian lifestyle must not be gay,and must dominate others lives and control society through the "christian lifestyle"and church for..a CHOICE?..


Religions of the fundamentalist kind demand adherents follow a certain kind of lifestyle.Like if a believer does not follow the church they may become backsliders and piss off their chosen god....Christianity as fundamentalists live it truly IS a CHOSEN lifestyle,really..
(If you disagree what do you call CHOOSING to take jesus into your heart than?)A choice!


Christianity and a church that controls church-goers lives through church leader and biblical based justifications, as in literally controlling whom you can or can't love, how you relate to others,who you can have as friends or not,right down to what you do with your own time,is a lifestyle choice made around a religion and it IS always a choice to do that.

I say religion is a choice because ....
Babies are not born singing hymns and praising jesus ,they are TAUGHT to do that.Usually by christian parents insisting on living a "christian lifestyle" and having thier kids live it too or suffer their wrath..

People in real life SWITCH their religions and churches all the time.This proves a person's religion is a CHOICE.God gave people free will didn't he?Or do you believe in predestination? If you do,believe, everything is pre-determined and it is god who makes the heart turn to him..why bother with bullying gay people who are according to your beliefs doomed to hell as a 'vessel of wrath' from the beginning by your chosen god's will than? Why choose be such a lifestyle asshole ?

All babies will become adults.And as they mature and the sexual hormones enter their bodies, they might find they are not attracted to the opposite sex.They might not be heterosexually oriented. They find they are gay by their own bodies by their own sexual attraction.Just like heterosexuals do,but they are not and cannot be heterosexual.They lack the opposite sex attraction heterosexuals have that a certain kind of a hostile controlling religion just happens to demand all it's followers be or go to hell...

Being gay is a sexual orientation.As in you are either gay,bi or straight.What gender you are attracted to is what your orientation is, end of story. There is no choice in sexual orientation.You can fake it for awhile if the threat and shame is severe but the truth will out..Does any one know how many heterosexuals turn gay, who did not at least have a bi curious side to begin with???

The only choice for queer people who know their own sexual orientation than becomes one of being open about it or closeted The social and safety climate has A LOT to do with that decision.

For gays it's either cave in to this social pressure induced and self induced psychological torture,a life of stress, loneliness,isolation and denial or being out of the closet and at risk of being hurt or denied things heterosexuals take for granted.Things like not being harassed,abused,fair housing or a job..Things bigoted and religious life stylers would rather us queers not have access to.

Gays,bisexuals, and trans-people are put in real life danger all because of the chosen type of christian lifestyle that some people choose to have and impose upon the world.

Gay/Bi/Transgender or heterosexual orientation is not a choice or a lifestyle for anyone.. The appearance of choice to stupid people who never have been scapegoated really comes from the social situation created by pushy christian life-stylers who choose to force their christian lifestyle onto the whole world whether they want it or not .

They push the christian "lifestyle" out of their own narcissism. All this suffering must be so jesus will make an extra nice crown for them for'winning souls' when they die. Narcissism and domination is the motivator of many a christian bigot life-styler...Despite what they may choose to say to the contrary.They wanna be gods favorites and they will live a god fearing lifestyle to 'earn' holy points in heaven..

Hide the truth or not,is an issue for queer people, who regardless of which side they exist regarding the closet door, they are still gay...

It requires a conscience and empathy for others to care about the issues queer people face,when one is not gay.In order to have that kind of humanity regarding a gay person's situation it may require a christian life-styler to make a new lifestyle choice.
To CHOOSE to care ,listen,and step out of their own selfish and restrictive religious veiwpoint and set aside the churches agendas.

Care instead of trying to dominate, intimidate,bully,discriminate against,attempt to convert or destroy the gay person..and why shame them for being honest about who they love. Why? Why choose to be such an asshole to queer people?

1. Of course

most of them use "the Gay Lifestyle" to indicate an immoral, party-hopping, anti-family way of life, not to in any serious way indicate a the actual existence of homosexuals. They generally use it to dehumanize homosexuals, so that they are not forced to admit that homosexuals are just like everyone, just with a different sexual orientation. Do not let them fool you. It's not meant to make sense to those who aren't already as brainwashed as they are.

Religion is a choice, but most of them don't see it like that. They were raised like that, and if you take a child young enough, you can seriously brainwash the crap out of them. To people of average intelligence, that sort of thing seems true and they don't question it. They often use "Atheist Lifestyle" to indicate that those of us who made the choice to think critically about this are immoral, Satan-worshipping, drug-taking, drinking heavily, irresponsible and completely lacking in any real worth.

That's not to say that we are in as much danger as homosexuals, as I don't think that actual violence extends as far as that. But I don't tell people who might be in a position to give me a raise, etc.

I agree with what you say. It is up to them to choose to stop doing these things. But it's worse than what you say. Right wing Christians do not say it's a lifestyle to indicate choice. They call it that to indicate an immoral lifestyle that a majority of homosexuals don't subscribe to at all, but they can tell each other that to make it easier to accept violence against them.

2. it's for those billions of people who CHOOSE to relate to the opposite sex though they could...

choose to do so with the same sex in a heartbeat since it is really only a simple choice.

8. The Heterosexual Lifestyle. If God Had Wanted Men and Women Together, They'd Have the Same Privates

The fact that there bodies are different is proof that it's against God's wishes for them to be together. It's a sinful choice.

6. "..an immoral, party-hopping, anti-family way of life, "

But that's pretty much the life I tried to lead and I'm a heterosexual. Has the "Gay conspiracy" started to work on me? :wow: B-)
