10 guesses what the Mods think about that.

I'm sick of seeing people trying to use religion to justify prejudice.

yeah i don't like that either, because it makes people think the actions of a few are the actions of all. i never burned anyone at the stake for being a heretic.

hey youre jewish, have you ever stoned someone to death for cheating on their husband? Cause you know that in your particular case being jewish meant being of the jewish faith (since your ancestors lived in a theocracy whose membership was based on ethnicity) and had all sorts of fun laws that were backed with religious authority. they were also racists. annilihated entire cultures. does that mean i think YOURE a racist or stone people to death for riding a camel on a saturday? of course not, thats preposterous?

I don't blame you for the actions of your ancestors, why do you blame me for the actions of mine? since you lumped christianity (of which i am a part) and indeed all religion (of which i am a sub group) in with the actions some of their members in the past. seriously dude shits weak.

"Pride" is no part of any of this.

Unless your a proud supporter of sexual deviants of course.

It wasn't originally intended as "bait" until it generated responses that proved it to be such. From you and a few others

Why don't you PM some of them and advise them on this ?

You don't see the problem with you presuming to speak for god?

Over half of the heterosexual "couples" I know are not in a monogamous relationship so what's your point?

I see that you don't mind imposing your values on others.

Have a good time!

Meantime, if LJ2 happens along, I've got a couple questions for you:

1. Do you view homosexual sex as immoral?

2. Would you acknowledge that you are homophobic?



No, she was very clear that she views homosexual sex as immoral without regard to whether it's inside or outside marriage, and, by the way, there are legally recognized same-sex marriages in this country and elsewhere.

Biblically speaking, homosexual sex, adultery and fornication are all immoral but I believe that all those things are between the person and God. I judge no one in that aspect because first of all, it's not my place and secondly, if I'm guilty of fornication, how can I wish for laws against others?
Why would I want to acknowledge that I'm homophobic when I'm not? I've been around homosexuals my entire life, starting with a family friend that I grew up with and now with a couple of women that I play darts with. When I walk into the bar on dart night, I generally make my rounds giving everyone a hug and a kiss and these two women are no exception. Would I be friends with them if I was homophobic? Would I think gays should be allowed to marry if I was homophobic? No, homophobic definitely doesn't describe me in the least.

I'm not "imposing" anything on anyone.:rolleyes:

Now, I have a quick question. IF we accept that just because its harmful dosn't stop you from doing it and that homosexuality isn't intrinsically immoral then your arguement rests on the idea that 'its not natural'. My responce is simple; do you drive a car? Do you live in a house? Do you eat/wear synthaised products? Because everything in modern human existance is unnatural and if you are going to object to homosxuality on the ground that its not natural then I suggest you don't do anything unnautral yourself otherwise you're simply a hypocrite

(oh, and as your on the net your already a hypocret...)

Go ahead and play rugby, just don't put the ball up your butt.

When somebody tried to justify their prejudice with their religion, it invokes an entire history of abuse.

Hypocrites was not a Greek doctor, and denial is not a river in Egypt.

It's not a marriage. It's pretend. It's fake. If you want to play along, go ahead. Just don't impose your nutty beliefs on the rest of us.

Denigrating a minority is the first step towards taking away their civil rights.

Pot meet kettle :rolleyes:

I'm a big boy and I don't need to run to the teacher to complain.

The mods don't want to have to sort out and deal with a hissy fit every five minutes, but what you did is obviously against every forum CoC I've ever seen.

Honestly, this entire thread to me is an intellectual exercise for the study of prejudice and bigotry in society, which is sorry to say rather rampant. The premise of the OP was to denigrate a sexual minority and broadcast a heavily prejudiced agenda against them.
