Religion & Racism, two sides of the same coin?

Well the Bible clearly states: "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."

yea but that has to do with being gay nothing to do with what Religion you are or whatever.

You said that it says in the bible that a man and a man would go to hell if they lie down together which is true.I said what does Religion have to do with being gay?

Well it's only in certain religions that homosexuals supposedly go to hell.

Depends on the religion.

The Mormon Church was officially a racist organization until 1978.

Just wait until Dadudemon hears about this!

Well you said, "Everyone has the right to stay or leave or pray what ever matter they want."

However, if you are gay you MUST be put to death (according to the bible). So gays wouldn't have the right to do any of those things if you followed the christian bible.

In the Old Testament death as punishment was emphasized because the punishment for sins was meted out in this life rather than the next.

That is true and I don't think that they should be put to death and that the bible does not say it that way but I do consider it a sin to be gay.

The Bible explicitly says they should be put to death. There's no way around that.

the bible also says that no sin is greater then another and all are equal.

plus, death is vastly different then hell and in the old testament there is no such place as hell it was sheol where all the dead went prophet or sinner.

Yea but it is only if the gay person pratise being gay.If they are dating or sleeping around with other man or whatever then there is a good chance that they will go to heaven.

does Religion advocate Racism and Xenophobia Attitude?

what Religions and specific text show one or the other or argues against racism?

does it advocate hate speech?

is religion just dressed up polite racism?

i have been called a gentile by a hebrew person to identify me as not of his race or religion. he actually thought it was okay and polite to say it that to me nor did he find nothing wrong with it.

he isnt the only person i seen this from. Christians have called others heathens, sinners now maybe it in itself isnt racism but it seems more like hate speech that no seems to think is wrong..

I suppose that depends greatly upon the person, doesn't it? But, I suppose your point is vague on purpose. I doubt most of the religious people you're actually talking about care what colour you are or what country you come from, as long as you agree with them about what happens after death and the "rules" that govern us while we're alive.

never mind.

That's old testament. Not new. No one dies for their sins anymore.

Religion does not define race.

go read the old testament, the Torah. 📖 😬
