Wow... a lot has been said in my absence... now I'll have to catch up...
As touching Communism... Karl Marx created Communism as the idealist government for a Utopian society. Everybody in such a society works together for the better on their fellow brother and sister, and thus the entire nation process. On paper, it is a dream come true. Everybody is treated as equal, everybody has equal wealth... everybody prospers. It is very much like an ant/bee colony. The problem though, is Communism doesn't take into consideration, human ambitian. Our ambitians make us strive for different means, and sometimes those means aren't so honest. In the end, what starts out as a Utopian government transforms into a dictatorship of sorts, where a small ruling party controls the lives, wills, minds, of all the people, of which equals enslavement. Socialism will only work once people can set aside, greed, hate, and all the other flaws that infiltrate our beings.
As touching gays/lesbians... There isn't a place in the Bible where God condemns a man or woman for being "gay". It is the indulgance of homosexuality that is looked down upon, and that is primarily with concern to believers. In short, a person can't help what comes into their mind, but they can help what they do with those thoughts. The Semites/Jews were taught, as CHRISTians are taught to show self-control. As we know, just because you can dream it up, doesn't make it right. God doesn't hate homosexuals scripturally speaking... It is the act of homosexuality, but again that is largely talking about believers practicing such. To also clarify, Soddom and Gomorrah weren't simply destroyed because people were "gay", albiet happy. The reality is, these two cities were so depraved, that murder was the leading cause of death. Sources other than the BIble, depict these cities as being "very wicked". In the Biblical narrative for example, when the "angels" of God visit Lot to warn him of the cities impending doom, the men of the city wanted to abuse them, both physically and sexually. The term used in the scripture is to "know"... of which is in the same context as a man "knowing" his wife for the first time. In short, they wanted to rape and then murder these new visitors. They were terrible places to live, and those who stayed there lived in constant fear. There wasn't happiness... It was a literal hell on earth, as the people that chose to stay their lived without restraint. So God had enough and wiped them out.
As touching Creation/Evolution... The BIG issue here is ignorance in both science and the Bible on the part of the believer. My Grandfather is best friends with the head cheese of the Creation Science movement, and their supposed "findings" are dubious at best. A lot of them AREN'T scientists, but evangelists who are pretending to be scientists, of whom get their data from individuals who not only have wild "theories", but will often manipulate the evidence to prove a point. While this does (cough GLOBAL WARMING cough) on the other side, for a people trying to be showing the HONEST love of Christ, it is sort of problematic. One of their lead scientists was at our church, and I (being an evolutionist) had a hay day with this guy, and what he actually believes was quite scary. Not only did he believe that the earth was only 6000 years old, but he believed that angels (demons) interbred with humans creating super genes (hince the GIANTS in the Bible) that also allowed humans to interbreed with wolves and tigers creating werewolves, weretigers... and... well... needless to say, he must be a closet furrie of sorts, but I stopped listening once he went there. The actual word for giant in the Bible is nephilem, and the proper translation isn't giant but hybrid. History teaches us that there are two sep races of "humans"... Neanderthals, of which went extinct, and homosapians. The reference is actually implying that the homosapians who recieved the neshima (spirit-knowledge) of God interbred with the ones who did not. Science shows that the two races did live amongst each other and did interbreed...
What a lot of Chrisitans forget is that the Genesis account is written in a compressed form. Much of the stories were shortened, abreviated to only show the most important parts, because they were being told orally. It doesn't mean that they were altered or are wrong, but just giving you the most important parts. The theme of the Genesis account of Creation is that our world's creation has a purpose and wasn't a random occurance. Evolution, even in its randomness, has a drive and purpose, so in short, they both coexist. I believe that God created the world, and I believe that evolution is the key to that process, as randomness allows the most important aspect of all... choice...free will.
