So in other words your encouraging me to give up my life of peace and embraced a life of intolerance?
For example I have a couple of friends that are gay, *shrug* don't bother me, none of my business. (And no I'm not, I have a wife and kids if your wondering.)
Would I then have to dislike them?
Giving up your life, whether it be a life of peace or not, is something that will happen, whether or not you like it.
Originally, God created our first parents, Adam and Eve. They decided to trade off immortality for what they mistakenly thought was the wisdom of God. They did this when they listened to the deceit of the devil/fallen-angel/alien and ate the fruit. Nobody knows the way that this changed their DNA, but the result of it is that now few people even live to the age 100, but if they do, few of those are healthy.
If everyone had remained healthy starting back at the creation, and nobody died, and we populated the world faster than rabbits, and our intelligence remained high with no loss of memory, we would have picked up the thing we were created for, and have been out populating the stars long ago.
When you see the nut jobs that are wanting to colonize Mars - the common people, I mean - you can see that the urge to go to the stars is still strong within us.
God didn't create us for nothing. God didn't create us because He wanted us to die. But the way that He is saving us has to do with saving our souls as well as our bodies. He isn't going to tolerate any rebellion against Himself beyond this life. He only tolerates it for our hundred years of life now, so that there is opportunity to save us, body and soul, if we let Him.
You don't have to give up your friends. God doesn't have anything against same-sex friends being the best of friends, or of your friends. Stop the same-sex sex (explain it to them). God won't tolerate it. He made people to be heterosexual so that they would populate the Earth and beyond. He made them have great enjoyment in making kids so that they and He would always have as much companionship as any of us would ever want. That's what sex is for. Same-sex sex is one of the mistakes that is bringing death.
Give up whatever is going to keep you from the everlasting life in the new universe God is making. You will give it up anyway, probably by desire, possibly long before your death, simply because you health will deteriorate enough so that you won't take interest in a lot of the things you do now. Don't deprive yourself of the new life.
Fill yourself on the Bible, especially the New Testament, since that is what God will use to move your spirit and soul into salvation, even though your mind might not understand much of it.
