| Â | Buddhist views of homosexuality |
 | | Homosexuality in Buddhism is a very complex issue, even more so than in other major religions. | | | While it would be wrong to say that Buddhism is opposed to homosexuality, it would also be misleading to say that Buddhism is openly welcoming of homosexuality. | | | Since there are many schools of Buddhism, there are also different views of homosexuality in Buddhism. |

| Â | Neopagan views of homosexuality |
| | Pan, the patron god of shepherds and god of nature, is famous for his sexual prowess with both maidens and shepherds. | | | Many homosexual Neo-Pagans take to Neo-Pagan religions specifically in order to get away from what they see as homophobic pressure in their original religion to one in which their relationships are seen on an equal footing. | | | Most traditional Wiccans worship the God and Goddess. |

| Â | Christian views of homosexuality definition - info description meaning |
| | The Seventh-day Adventist Church is opposed to homosexual practices and relationships on the grounds that "sexual intimacy belongs only within the marital relationship of a man and a woman." It believes the Bible consistently affirms the pattern of heteromonogamy, and all sexual relations outside the scope of spousal intimacy are contrary to God's original plan. | | | The United Church of Christ is a congregational denomination, and hence views on most controverial matters vary among congregations. | | | Christian theologians who do not believe homosexuality to be a sin argue that the traditionalists have misinterpreted the pertinent Bible passages or quoted them selectively. |

| | Nowhere in the Hindu sacred texts is romantic love excluded to all but a man and woman, so there are no religious grounds to make a statement to the contrary. | | | Hindus believe love and devotion are important in attaining Moksha or Liberation from the cycle of rebirths. | | | These three functions are given in the Dharma Shastras, books that are not considered to be religiously binding within Hinduism. |

| Â | Gay Spirituality & Culture: Is homosexuality a disability? Or: a summary of my views on gayness |
| | Homosexuality and religion are among the topics of this daily blog. | | | I do not believe that homosexuality is a defective or inferior version of a normative heterosexual human sexuality (the traditional view based on the values of mythic religions). | | | The value, meaning, and purpose of homosexuality is not derived by holding the literal beliefs of premodern mythic religious (Tushnet) or civic republican (Rauch) traditions that contain a vision of the world appropriate for horticultural and agricultural social milieus of an earlier era of evolutionary history... |

| | For example, the "God Map" in the "A Pagan View of Deity" chapter would be a useful tool for showing the different views of deity that various religions, both Pagan and non-Pagan, have in a simplified and introductory way. | | | Many of the exercises in this book are original and useful for getting people to think about the various ideas about deity, religion, and spirituality. | | | This one chapter falls out of step with the rest of the work: he otherwise demonstrates a near total acceptance of who people are, the choices they make, and he frequently cites anecdotes of both Muslim and Hindu piety. |

| | As can be seen, throughout the centuries folklore and mythology emerged inseparably into one belief of a god. | | | This latter aspect of worship to and petitioning of the goddess is rather interesting when one remembers many Roman Catholics once prayed to St. Christopher for a safe journey when traveling; a particular belief in the help of the supernatural seems to continue throughout the ages. | | | This also holds true for various aspects found in mythology such as homosexuality and incest found among the Greek gods. |

| | Because many Reform Jews do not consider the divine authorship ofthe Torah to be literally true, the passages that pertain to homosexuality are seen as aproduct of the times. | | | Synagogue and school educators might include, as part of the curriculum, a section on sexuality, and within this, somematerial on homosexuality....In such courses it should be made clear that sexual activity, while an important part of everyone'slife, is not the whole of it. | | | (D) Similarly, the rabbi of each Conservative institution, in consultation with its lay leaders, will be intrusted toformulate policies regarding the eligibility of homosexuals for honors within worship and lay leadership positions. |

| | Hinduism does not serve the same God as Christians nor is their savior the same as our Savior. | | | The Hindu book of guidance must have deleted this verse: (Acts 4:12) "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name [Jesus] under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Maybe this is where the religion editor of the Lubbock A-J got her idea about religious respect and tolerance. | | | Under the guise of having respect toward other religious beliefs, the religion columnist of the Lubbock A-J has defended permitting an Hindu priest offering a prayer to begin the Sept. 14th legislative day in the U.S. House of Representatives. |

| | Their entire perception of Hindu culture was one of disdain and condescension, and their biased renditions of Sanskrit literature can hardly be accepted as traditional. | | | Within the Vaishnava and Hindu communities, modern misunderstandings of homosexuality can be directly attributed to the past fifteen or so centuries of Muslim and Christian influence upon both Indian and Western society. | | | Rather, these misunderstandings have their roots in the zealotry of foreign religious faiths that have made a habit of forcing their social views upon others throughout history. |

| | By denying others the right to hold and express religious views that challenge the validity of competing and/or contradictory religious views, these revisionists promote religious intolerance. | | | The renewal and revival movements have adopted this doctrine, because it fits in with their view that the Church is to be lead and taught by prophets and apostles who, they claim, reveal things that were previously "hidden". | | | The danger of the rhema vs. logos doctrines can be seen in some of the current renewal and revival movements, where experience and extra-Biblical revelation are increasingly taking precedence over the written Word of God. |

| | One of five precepts states that one is to refrain from sexual misconduct or, more accurately, one is to refrain from indulging in sexual pleasure. | | | However, wide ranges of interpretations are possible about what exactly consititutes " sexual misconduct " and therefore the different schools of Buddhism - or even different individual monks - at different periods of time have offered varying opinions. | | | It is common to see condemnation of homosexual behaviour by Buddhists in more traditional societies in Asia. |

| | Many professional and religious authorities growing up in India during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were heavily indoctrinated with homophobic stereotypes and views by English educators, and these out-dated beliefs persist down to this very day. | | | Enforcing strict religious codes that have already suffocated much of the Middle East and Western Asia, these invaders forcibly convert or kill Hindus, plunder their villages and wealth, and destroy Hindu temples and religious Deities. | | | Although Islamic tradition does not recognize a third gender, Muslim clerics are free to interpret religious doctrine according to their own discretion and rarely punish homosexuality. |

| | Because religion plays an important role in the life of many communities, these views will often be motivated by religious concerns. | | | That is, parents with religious views must not raise objections to those of same-sex parents and teachers in the schools, since this would be disrespectful and intolerant of them. | | | What secularism does rule out, however, is any attempt to use the religious views of one part of the community to exclude from consideration the values of other members of the community. |
