Megachurch pastor Joel Osteen thinks gays are sinners – but at least he doesn’t hate us!
Okay, here’s why when Joel Osteen says things like ”I believe the Scripture says that being gay is a sin,’ I can’t help but think of all the pain he causes.
This is a guy who is the pastor of the largest church in the US. His Sunday sermons are televised to more than 100 nations around the world and seen in 10 million households.
I think of all the parents of gay kids watching who will use this as a reason to reject their kid instead of providing them with acceptance and love.
But Osteen doesn’t want to be seen as a homophobe, of course.
“People say, well, you are a gay hater and you’re a gay basher. I’m not,’ he insisted on Fox News Sunday. “I don’t dislike anybody. Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world. But my faith is based on what I believe the Scripture says, and that’s the way I read the Scripture.”
But kind-hearted Joel does think gay couples should at least be able to see each other in the hospital.
‘I’m not for gay marriage, but I’m not for discriminating against people.’
Sorry Joel, you can’t have it both ways.

Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Joe says:
He’s no different than any number of religious fanatics who freely spout their ignorance when speaking of gay people. If God didn’t want gay people, why are there so many of us?

Joel…you can ‘believe’ anything you like, but I KNOW that You Are An Idiot. End of discussion.

A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE LEFT COMMENTS ABOUT JOEL, HAVE ASKED SOME QUESTIONS, THAT I WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO. YOU ASK, IF GOD DIDN’T WANT GAY PEOPLE, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY YOU. WELL, GOD GAVE YOU A CHOICE OF HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, EITHER FOR HIS BELIEFS AND COMMANDMENT’S OR GO OFF ON YOUR OWN. IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW WHAT GOD SAYS THEN YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HAS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE, FOR WHAT YOU DO. SO YOU THINK THAT WE CHRISTIANS ARE BASHING YOU, NO WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU IN HOPES THAT YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE, AND LIVE THE WAY THE BIBLE AND GOD’S WORD TELLS YOU. IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE IN YOUR LIFE THEN THAT IS WHY GOD MADE HELL.
