Gay people give aids so we should shun them!

Before you even say it, it's not me who says this. It's a family member.
I've always wondered why one of my family members was such a homophobe. One day he decides to tell me.
"Well we should shun the gay people because they give aids!"
Even better, I try to tell him that it's been scientifically proven wrong. He say's this:
"Well in the bible it says to shun the gay people. Just say hi to them and move on! Honey I don't want to talk about this, just don't mess with them and it'll be fine."
Yeah, okay then, where exactly in the bible does it say that I- I've never read it in there. (and yes, yes I am Christian)
Is it just me who's angry about this? Do you think the same way? Is it normal to think like this?

    Does he also believe children who laugh at men with bald heads should be torn apart by bears? That's in the Old Testament too

    Don't worry, my parents say the same stuff. "Gays are evil; gays are perverts, blah blah blah." They're just being religious nuts and you'll never be able to change them. My condolences :(

    You have my condolences. Not only are you suffering horribly from the affliction of christianity, but you have such deluded and ignorant family members you must spend time with.
    Again, you have my sympathy.

    As long as you know it's not true, you are fine. After all you are the future and you can teach your children different. Don't hate your parents either. You only have them for a short amount of time. I'm gay and was not offended. Remember people this is still their parent. You know right from wrong. And as long as your parent isn't actually physically hurting gay people. Just live and let live.

    Wow you are a fucking retard. :/ Are you going to sleep with all those gay people? If not what are you bitching about? Even if we agree your idea is true, its only logical to care if your going to get blood or have sex with this person. Since your probably not even under your premise its still illogical.

    Black people give by far the highest proportion of heterosexual age by race. We should shun them too.

    He's clearly uneducated about homosexuals. If he is uncomfortable talking about it, then that's his business. It's an unpopular way to think nowadays, but It's normal to shun what you don't understand (though it's not a healthy way of thinking). It's understandable that you feel mad, I'd be too if someone shunned me because of some false accusation they believed. As long as it doesn't affect anything in your lives, then you can let it go.

    AIDS was spread to humans because of humans eating "bush meat" (meat from apes and monkeys). These monkeys and apes, usually chimpanzees, are positive carriers for HIV. By consuming this flesh, and taking into account our genetic similarities, AIDS became a human disease. Has nothing to do with gay sex or gay people. People who spread that bullshit are dumber than a sack of fucking hammers.

    That's not very Christian of them.
    The Bible does say that gay sex is a sin, but nowhere does it say gays should be shunned.
    If anything, the standard Christian view is to condemn the sexual activity, but show support for the gay.

      You are correct, the Bible does not say gays should be shunned, it says they should he put to death. That is so much better.

      Just another reason it is one of the most horrific books ever written.

            The only reason why I prefer Christianity over Islam is the majority of what 'Jesus' had to say, was pretty enlightening stuff.
            Whereas Mohammed was a war-mongering paedophile.
            (Just my opinion)

              Well what you said was the Bible tops the Quran. But that is not a comparison between the Bible and the Quran, that is a comparison between Jesus and Muhammad. If that is what you are comparing, than Muhammad is miles better than Jesus and I will tell you why...

              Christianity is a monotheistic religion, they believe in one and only one God. Christians believe that Jesus was God on Earth in human form, and by God they mean the God of the Bible. Otherwise, it would not be monotheistic. This is the God that made all the horrible laws. But even worse than that, this is a God who commands and personally commits genocide, and both commands and personally murders children on scales and in numbers that are beyond imagine. Compaired to the God of the Bible, Muhammad is a saint. That is who Christians believe Jesus to be. Muhammad does not claim to be God.

              Now, if you hold no religious belief are not Christian or Muslim, and are comparing the two as human philosophers, based on their recorded time on earth as flesh and blood human beings, I would agree that I prefer the philosophy of Jesus.

              But that is not a preference for Christianity over Islam, that is a preference for Jesus over Muhammad.

              There is good and bad in both the Quran and the Bible. People love to cherry pick the worst of the Quran and the best of the Bible. In truth they are both awful. As a God, Jesus is horriable, and as a book, so is the Bible.

        The "put to death" according to Biblical context has little to do with actual killing and more about "spiritual death". The Old Testament also says adulterers should be put to "death". It also says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" when in the Old Testament adulterers were supposed to be stoned, sparing the adulteress's life.

          Yes, I know that The Old Testament says all of that, and a lot worse, these are just more examples of why it is a horrible book. And it was not a "spiritual death" these laws are taken quite literally in The Old Testament, and those punishments are acted out in more than one Bible story.

          But the Old Testament does not say "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", that would be found in The New Testament.

            The New Testament is considered an amendment to the Old Testament to Christians.

              I am sorry, but no it is not. The New Testament is not an "amendment". No Christian Denomination that I am aware of considers the New Testament to be part of the Old Testament, or quotes New Testament writing as being part of The Old Testament. They are two separate Testaments about two separate periods, separated by a substantial amount of time, which together make up the Christian Bible.

          Amazing how christians can reinterpret anything in the bible to suit any argument: if it means "spiritual" death why doesn't it say so? Or is your god deliberately obtuse? Which part of "put to death" is so hard to understand?

            The book wasn't written by gawd; it was written by men. That should explain the whole idiocy of the book right there.
            Gawd didn't write the Harry Potter series either, but plenty of idiots are taking it as truth and realty, too.

              Are you serious? Do some people think Harry Potter is factual? What is the world coming to?
