I don't believe it says "God hates gays" anywhere in the Bible. And we've been down this road before about a dozen times on the boards so I'm not going to quote scripture at you about all of the other things that the Old Testament says that we don't take seriously; so why should we take this part seriously? Most Christians believe that the New Testament "trumps" the Old Testament anyhow. Granted, Paul had a few things to say about homosexuality but he also has a lot to say about other issues that many modern Christians interpret liberally.

I guess its ok to overlook that though, and the pedophellia, buy hey, they must be great people, its the church!

The pedophilia in the Bible? I hope that's what you're talking about because I wouldn't want to think you were so ignorant as to equate homosexuality (sexual attraction to one's own gender) and pedophilia (sexual attraction toward children). Pedophilia actually occurs at a higher rate among heterosexuals than homosexuals.
