I got one for ya. How about let everyone live their own life. If you're not gay that's fine, but don't inhibit other's happiness. If people are going to hell that's their busisness not your's. Not that it matters anyway, since heaven and hell don't exist and neither does God.
You know i am one of those unbeliever too before but one day while those questions was on my mind, i look up to the sky and i just ask myself if God is not real who made the Heaven? If God is not real then who made the sea, the land? My own questions just made me realized that God is real. I am not forcing anyone to believe in God because believing in Him is a choice. That’s how He love us, He give us this freedom to believe Him or not.
If i am praying for my own country, thats my business because they are my countrymen. And i dont think you don’t believe in God.

See, I don't believe in any higher power. But what I am trying to tell you is that you have no right to try and control other people's lifestyles. This is something that you people don't seem to understand. You cannot assign rules based on a singular religion that is not believed by everyone to an entire country because there are people who do not agree with such rules. You have no right to inhibit the happiness of others who are doing no harm to anyone. My country's constitution allows people to believe whatever they want to believe and I have interacted with a myriad of people from many different belief systems that all claim absolute truth. They can't all be true and cannot apply to everyone. My goal here is to try and get you to understand that your prayers will do no good for anyone and that you apply your beliefs to every single person on this planet based simply on the fact that your particular book claims that it is the word of a make believe higher power just as many others have claimed. If you want answers to your questions about how the planet came to be in its current state i implore you to study chemistry, physics, climatology, and geology. Science does not have all of the answers at the moment, but given time it will. Your holy book gives the easy out and incorrect answer that everything was snapped into existence by a man on a cloud. It makes no mention of the physics and processes that make this world the way it is. Religion was created as a way to explain things that were unable to be explained at the time and to control other people. Christianity worships the weakness of humanity and holds people back. Stop trying to force your beliefs upon others under the guise of caring for them. The world will be a better place once people realize that. Call me hypocritical all you want, but my intentions are to promote critical thinking and scientific reasoning, as well as to drive home the idea that the only rules that can be put into place when it comes to large groups of people with different belief systems and identities are secular rules that do not violate anyone's belief system that is not harmful or objectively bad.

You say nobody should have the right to judge how someone else lives, but when laws and constitutions are formed these laws and commands in life are created by men/women right? Why should they have the right to control other people's lives?.. I see a contradiction there.
Secondly I'll ask kindly, why are you on this lovely site?
If I decide to punch you, that is my right? Correct, based on you're logic.. You not allowing me to punch you would infringe on my lifestyle choice. Yes it sounds stupid doesn't it? Well there you are..
We/I speaking for myself here and maybe others, hold God's laws and commands as he is Lord. Not a man nor a woman in earthly power whom you voted for.
We have the right to judge and not want any part of evil on this planet. It is our duty. The request here was to pray, that's our choice and nothing to do with stopping anyone's rights or choices in life in the first place. You made no sense at all.

It is important to pray for all governments worldwide, for the Jews first then all Gentile Nations.
It is important to pray for things and against things according to scripture and as the Spirit leads us.
LGBTQ+ is an abomination, it is totally against everything God has planned for mankind. We must pray against it, in Jesus Name, we must love the LGBTQ+ people but reject their sinful practices. The devil may appear to have domain in the latter days but God is still on the throne.

My dear friend, how can we not be concerned for you, you appear so mixed up.
You say... If people are going to hell that's their busisness not our's.
It is firstly not a business, do you not realise, obviously not, True Christians, care more about others than for themselves. Why, because we have been where you are, we have rejected as you are rejecting, we have unbelieved as you are unbelieving. What changed us, the Holy Spirit, Jesus died for our sins, our sins my friend, your sins, my sins, the whole world sins. He shed his blood for you and me, God allowed it, not just because it was all prophesied, but because God so loves the world, the people of the world, that he actually allowed Jesus to die for us. But three days later He rose from the dead, again all as prophesied hundreds of years earlier.
God did it all for you, for us, but True Christians, born again Christians, we care because we were once like you and found out we were so wrong my friend.
So please, please do not throw your religion at us, your belief at us, we did not approach you my friend, you joined the forum of your own accord, but then try to lay down your beliefs to us. Jesus says, if God is not your father, the devil is.
Unbelief is a strange thing, we are so adamant we are right, we are veiled from the truth because of our sins.
You consider True Christianity with all other religions, True Christianity is not a religion, do you know that religion is made up of rules, regulations and rituals, all man made, with man made rewards. Christianity it the only faith with a living God, the only faith where God has lived amongst us, recorded by the Jews, recorded by the early church, recorded in history, recorded by monarchy.
Stop my friend and think, what if you are wrong. We have nothing to lose if we are wrong, but if you are wrong, you will come before the Great White Throne Judgement all unbelievers will come to. You will come before the Lord Jesus Christ and answer for everything you have done, said and thought against God, against Jesus, against the Word of God. As I said, if we are wrong we have nothing to lose, if you are wrong and we know you are, because we have been where you are. How small will you feel before the judge, to hear your sins repeated back to you.
That my friend is why we call you friend, that my friend is why we pray for you and pray we shall.
The person who keeps all options open is wise, but can still go to hell. But the person who keeps all options open listens to what is said from scripture and makes their own mind up, it is called wisdom.
Bless you in your journey where ever you chose to let it lead you.
Jesus loves you, we do too.
