Cities Across America Creating Rainbow Crosswalks to Celebrate ‘LGBTQ Pride’

Are you averse to homosexual activity?

Not for other people. I'm not inclined to it myself.

Not for other people. I'm not inclined to it myself.

So you have an aversion to homosexual activity. You homophobe.

 

[ClimateSanity]

That's not how it works.

It's the only logical conclusion. How can you say otherwise?

 

[ok doser]

So you have an aversion to homosexual activity. You homophobe.

all heterosexuals who refuse to engage in homosexual activity are homophobes

 

[glassjester]

You can say anything if you're not bound by logic.

 

[glassjester]

Yep.

Selaphiel;5047834]When push all knowledge we have about the Bbile and the texts contained in it to preserve a naive belief, that is willful ignorance. Is the Bible excempt from rational criticism? If so, why? If you say: "Because it is the word of God", then you have to establish that it really is the unambigious direct word of God.

Do you believe God has to ask YOU if it is OK before He makes a decree ? FYI, He consulted NO ONE !

There is nothing ambiguous about God's word it is willful sin to participate in SSM or to advocate for SSM.

What hateful nonsense. So you cannot actually provide a rational reason for same sex marriages being immoral except "God says it is". So God is essentially a tyrant to inflict eternal punishment on those who goes against his arbitrary whims, with no rhyme or reason? And you worship this being? Sounds like an enlarged boy with a magnifying glass that is burning ants for fun. You may fantasize about them burning in hell for all eternity, but that really says a whole lot more about you than them.

There are many rational reasons why SSM is rejected by normal moral people. Even if that were not the case it would not over ride that God condemned SSM and those that ignore God will bear eternal consequences.

It is a legitimate question. My reading is supported by people who were near contemporaries with Paul, Justin Martyr being one example.

It was not a legitimate question it was nothing more than you exposing your own spiritual corruption and desertion of anything consisting of truth.

Nonsense ! There have always been folks who rejected and ignored God even some contemporaries of Paul.

No empty rhetoric is you claiming to be the representative of God himself, refusing to listen to any objections against your downright idolatrous view of the Bible. You are a text book example of a biblicist, one who turned the literal text of the Bible into an idol. Why are you so scared of reason?

The only defense you have to ignore and contradict God is to cast doubt on His decrees and word. You would do well to stop fighting against God.

They're not all bad. Kanzi, the bonobo, learned to play Pacman.

They're not bad, they're just wild animals. Chimps can get hooked on smoking cigrits¹, so it's unsurprising that people can find the graphic description of bonoboism as unnerving.

That happens to me a lot, too. Refreshing the page seems to fix it.

It's fascinating. The folks most determined to abhor the actions of others are also the most insistent on erasing the distinction between their own actions and the actions of others. No one is expected to engage in any sexual activity that doesn't appeal to them. That isn't what the term "homophobia" captures. Does that mean the distinction is meaningless?

It's akin to suggesting that a person isn't heterosexual if they are unwilling to have sex with any member of the opposite sex.

Good job with censoring the quotes Dodge , that'll learn 'em! That'll learn 'em good!

Homophobia is not an action.

You have an aversion to homosexual activity. How are you not a homophobe?

Just try not to cast the entire Christian faith as homophobic and we probably won't have a problem. :idunno: SSB is immoral. That's our faith, and it's always been our faith too; you can see it in Sacred Scripture, right in the New Testament; you don't have to go all the way back to Leviticus; it's not something made up recently. It's immoral, and for you to therefore paint the Church as "homophobic" because of that, is why there's a problem.

We have no problem condemning anti-homosexual vigilante violence as immoral, but you're condemning the world's biggest religion, for saying that SSB is immoral. So, consider that.

 

[ok doser]

... what the term "homophobia" captures.

pho·bi·a ˈfōbēə/ noun noun: phobia; plural noun: phobias an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.

it's not irrational to recognize that i'm averse to perversion :idunno:

 

[rexlunae]

Homophobia is not an action.

Depends on how you do it, I suppose.

You have an aversion to homosexual activity. How are you not a homophobe?

I have an aversion to doing a particular set of things, or both homosexual and heterosexual nature, not to homosexuality in general. Can you say the same?

 

[dodge]

If you want to diagnose the fundamentalists' problem then you have to recognize that they are members of the Church who are in rebellion against the Pastors™ of the Church™. Pastors™ are mentioned in Sacred Scripture as overseers, elders, and bishops, and among all the Pastors™ they are all equal, and the Apostles are first, and among the Apostles Peter is first. And the Church™ is Jesus Christ's Church™, mentioned in Matthew 16:18 (KJV) when He called her "My Church;" His Church is the Church™, the pastors of His Church are the Pastors™ of the Church™. Non-Catholic Christians are in rebellion against the Pastors™.

This is not the right thread to promote the idolatrous Roman Catholic church !

 

[ok doser]

... homosexuality in general...

define "homosexuality in general"

 

[glassjester]

Depends on how you do it, I suppose.

No it doesn't. You can't "do" homophobia. It's an aversion to homosexuality.

I have an aversion to doing a particular set of things, or both homosexual and heterosexual nature, not to homosexuality in general. Can you say the same?

You're not averse to homosexuality, in general? So there are homosexual activities that you wouldn't be averse to performing?

 

[rexlunae]

Just try not to cast the entire Christian faith as homophobic and we probably won't have a problem.

I don't, and in fact you are the one who insists that all Christians share your bigotry. This is untrue.

:idunno: SSB is immoral.

"SSB" DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME.

That's our faith, and it's always been our faith too; you can see it in Sacred Scripture, right in the New Testament; you don't have to go all the way back to Leviticus; it's not something made up recently. It's immoral, and for you to therefore paint the Church as "homophobic" because of that, is why there's a problem.

Your faith is bigoted and shallow. Your problem, not mine.
