Why are christians so judgemental about gay people, I am not gay but have friends and family that are. If god made everybody who made gay people if it is such a problem

I dont have a problem with them either, and have many friends who are. I think the general consensus with Christians is that they believe it is a lifestyle choice and not a characteristic you are born with...so You actually have a say in whether you are or are not homosexual...and choosing so is a sin. does that make sense?

Because there is a passage(s) in the bible about men laying with other males. It does not explicitly say that having a homosexual relationship is wrong, but christians are known to interpret passages as they see fit.

B/c in the bible (their holly word) pish posh to me. It says god doesnt like gays. Well to me i think then that this "god" is a lier, fraud and time waster. It's different to be gay. So ppl get scared and go nuts. Just like they did to ppl with special gifts they called them witches. Bunch of crap to me.

This may be true of SOME christians, not all. There are plenty of christians who not judgmental about gay people.

It does make sense, But I don't beleive people chose to be I think they are born that way, In a world that is so judgemental why would someone chose to be.

alkalineangel

I agree with you....but to answer your question the bible says it is wrong, and therefore they beleive a God would not make someone that way...therefore the believe it is a choice. But it just doesnt make sense to me that way...Its One of the main reasons I left the christian faith. too many things that made no sense to me in the bible.

The bible was written by man and so his prejudices and his attitudes are ever present. The God that I understand judges the sin and the sinner, I am supposed only to love all my brothers and sisters.

If your question had the word "some" before Christians, it would be a very valid one

Some people are judgmental about __________. Fill in the blank as you please. Regardless of how it is filled in, the "people" being spoken of are themselves guilty of bigotry or at least unfairness - but often just ignorance...except if the item is an illegal one or one that means harm to someone.

I'm sure that's not quite worded as I'd word it if I sat for a time to compose something more profound, but that's it in a nutshell

Agree with Rick

Not all Christians are "judgemental about gay people," and
likewise, and by implication, are all non-Christians [this wonderful ideal of] tolerant.

God is not tolerant of sin, otherwise He would not have sent Jesus to take the place for the consequences of mankind's sins.

All sins : pride, hate, homosexuality, lust etc....
