Gays Vs God Persuasive Speech
Gay's vs God
What is it about gays that just set religious people off? I mean go up to any Catholic ( and by any I mean mostly the grandpa's and grandma's), merely mention the word gay and they immediately whip out this 10 pound bible, complete with trumpets blaring and angels flying around, amazingly enough it managed to fit into their pocket). They then proceed to flip through a million pages and then, without even looking at the passage selected (complete with sticky notes and highlights) begin to recite word for word as to why Gays are evil.
They might start off with "If a man also lies with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. (Leviticus 20:13V13) Here it clearly states that being homosexual is a sin, but doesn't it also say that they should be put to death for being gay? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure God wouldn't want all the glory for being a mass murderer. But I could be wrong, maybe God does want a world full of robots that follow the bible exactly as it is written. …show more content…
But if that were true gays shouldn't be the only ones included. Cheaters, liars, and thieves everywhere, you have been hereby declared against God and should now be put to death. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Now I am not gay, I'll admit I even get a little weirded' out when I see two gay people sucking each others faces off, but then again, I get a little disturbed when straight people do that also. I blame it on society. So how is it that I, a normal straight person, have no problem with gays? It's simple really. First of all I'll have you know I have an extremely lousy gaydar'. I can honestly never tell when someone is gay. Two of my friends were gay and I never knew about it until they were talking about their girlfriends! I admit, I was a little thrown off, but despite their supposed abnormality' they were awesome, funny, and kind people. I decided that I didn't care about them being gay and still remain friends with them. Another reason I don't have a problem with homosexuals is most likely because I am agnostic. Without religion or God clouding my views I am able to see people for who they are. I am not God; I have no right to judge people with different tastes from me. Yet many people who believe in God see it as their sacred duty to tell gays that they are going to go to hell. Hello!!?? Of course the gay community already knows that!! They've been told over and over again how wrong it is. Keep shoving it in their faces and I can guarantee you they are going to do nothing but rebel more. It's human nature. I mean tell a teenager not to drink alcohol enough times and what do you think that teenager's going to do? Drink of course! Tell a couple not to get married and they'll elope. Gays aren't going to magically become straight just because God or people say it's wrong. In fact, knowing how rebellious people can be, they'll probably start a gay' revolution! Or even make their own religion as King Henry the 8th did. Protestantism was not an original religion, it was created from someone who was a devout Roman Catholic ironically enough.
History seems to have this thing with repeating itself. I mean every time people were repressed because of something the Bible said or the beliefs at that time, there was always a war (be it big or little) and in the end their rights were received. Women and blacks becoming equals? That didn't happen because the Bible or God said it was so. I may be wrong but wasn't the reason slaves existed, the reason women were considered weaker then men, justified by interpretations of the Bible? It was because people rebelled and fought hard for their rights. If people misunderstood God then, then surely they mistake him now. I mean what would are fashion industry today be like without the influence of gays? Clothes would be no where near as faaaabulouuussss!
I am not against God in anyway; I was raised as a Catholic, I've been through the whole standing and sitting down thing a million times each Sunday.
However, between watching people and learning of our history, I've come to the conclusion that people tend to bend the truth a little. This is the reason I became agnostic. I just happen to believe that over the centuries, God's word may have been distorted. Who's to say that when rewriting the bible, words were not switched, that a person's biased opinion changed paragraphs? King Henry the 8th did it. Isn't it possible that someone else could? If God does indeed exist should he not love his people for who they are, be they gay or straight? My gay friends do not deserve to be condemned for their preferences, there are worse things then being gay. For example? They could be axe murderers. Or Hitler. Or
a a .a .LIAR! I think those people (again mostly the older generation) carrying around 10 pound bibles need to put the books down, open their eyes, and think for themselves. They need to stop treating homosexuality like a disease. They need to stop thinking that homosexuality will affect everyone who looks upon them. I could be wrong though. Maybe even knowing a gay person will turn me gay or children. Or my furniture. God forbid my couch start liking my other couch. NO IT NEEDS TO LOVE THE FOOTREST!! In my opinion (which is completely unbiased) the older generation needs to use the brains God' gave them!
