Osteen: Gays Aren't "God's Best"

Osteen added that he loves everyone, that some of his closest friends are gay, and that they tend to be "some of the nicest people in the world."

Why is it that this one statement is uttered by every bigot and hater and they think it makes their view ok?

And "heterosexuality is not god's best" either. Now there is one character that someone really needs to get the goods on, and out him.

I'm sure God would appreciate Joel's critique of creation.

"Gays aren't God's best" sounds an awful lot like bigoted *judgement* to me.

If Osteen believes God is All Powerful, then God most certainly doesn't need Osteen passing judgment in His place.

“Love the sinner, hate the sin.”

It is impossible to love without caring about what the object of your love cares about. It is impossible to love without showing concern for injustice or unfairness. It is impossible to love without seeking to help those who are victims of oppression and attack.
Rather, they do something worse than hate you; they don’t consider you – your life, your dreams, your loves, your hopes – at all. The extent to which their imposition of their faith system on your life will impact your ability to live freely never ever crosses their mind. Your health insurance, your immigration, your kids, your adoption, your hospital visitation, your inheritance rights, your military service, none of this enters the equation.
Not because they hate you, but because you don’t really matter to them at all. They don’t hate you; they’re just contemptuous of your existence or worth.

God couldn't care less about what anyone thinks of creation.

I wonder what God thinks of Osteen's McChurch and his prosperity theology.

We should all strive to be as perfect as a TV christian who preys on shut-ins, the elderly, the gullible, and the exceedignly stupid.

Osteen is obviously not God's best.

Joel, you are such a joke. How much are you making by duping the stupid masses? I guess that makes you a serious person. You are making money off your bigotry. You and all the other right wing religious bigots. I shouldn't call you stupid, should I? Clever, perhaps. But morally you are wrong. Dead wrong. Why do you hate me? You don't even know me. How dare you call me less than perfect.

But Osteen is currently god's best fundieraising charlatan.

I consider him more skilled than Rick Warren or ol' left behind, LaHaye, but I don't follow the xstain segment of the multi level marketing universe all that closely.

Praiz!

Saying "homosexuality" isn't God's best is analogous to saying that everyone with a lower IQ than I aren't God's best because I clearly am designed/created to express God's intention for intelligence better than they.
But that idea is simply a fallacy. Sterile heterosexuals are loved by God as much as heterosexuals who can, and homosexuals are simply no different. God does not sit in heaven all day examining people's genitals to make sure they're behaving correctly.

Is that right, Fedup? So, there's a huge difference between straight people and heterosexuality? Two totally different concepts? Sort of like the huge difference between bigots and bigotry?
Fedupwiththemess is obviously fed up with the fact that the freedom to discriminate is vanishing in the modern world. So sorry, but your xtian privilege is coming to an end.

We aren't gods anything, as there is no god... however, Osteen IS a bigot.

Of course he's going to tap dance on the line; rich Gays are probably giving him money as are rich bigots. As long as your checks don't bounce, he loves you.

And I'm sure you can provide scripture to back that statement up.

There isn't any disembodied homosexuality floating around.
He should at least grow a pair and say 'Gays Aren't "God's Best"'. That's what he means.

You know one day they are going to find Osteen, in the back of his SUV, face down in a transvestite hooker. And he'll be shedding crocodile tears in front of his "flock" Jim Bakker style.

He did not say that "gay people are not GODS best"...he said the act of homosexuality meaning a man with a man or a woman with a woman is not the best according to GODs word. That is what was said and that is the truth!!!! Now take that!

Why homosexuality? Isn't all sins equal in the eyes of God? Isn't ALL sins not God's best?
