Yes, let’s return to Jesus shall we?
Is there any record of what Jesus thought of gay people? No there isn’t. Christians who attack gays would like to think he condemmed them, but don’t you think if attacking gays was the main reason for going to church as Tyrel Bramwell thinks it is, that there would be something in the gospels about it?
What most Christians point to when they want to gay bash is Leviticus. You know that book that says you should kill people for this, and kill them for that, never mind that whole “thou shalt not kill” edict.
So what can we learn from Jesus then, if he really existed, and people accurately recorded what he said and did? (By the way, they didn’t because the four gospels conflict with each other.)
Well, here are a few of his more famous quotes:
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. – John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. – Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. – Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. – Mark 11:24
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. – Matthew 5:9
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. John 4:7-8
Seems like he wanted you to be nice to everyone. Not too complicated right?
