Pop 8 ruled unconstitutional by 9th Circuit panel!

Well, it's not in the Scriptures and it's arguably not even Christian, so we're not doing too well on that particular front.

As I said, direct quotes, no... it would be more love the sinner, forgive the sin...
Jesus didn't teach to hate anyone or thing that I am aware of... which makes it very hard to follow! We are emotional animals!

A lot of Christians are also superstitious bigots, which complicates it yet further. You have to admire their persistence.

Bigoted much?

I'm sure you'd be fine with someone telling you how much they like watersports

Well, yes, you do. That's called "common decency", and if you're not capable of it you have no place in human society.

The thing about "common decency" is it's neither common nor decent.

Does this actually mean anything, or did you just think it sounded clever?

Strawman.
If you think it is wrong to even think judgmental thoughts about homos, why is it ok to do so about drug addicts?

Because drug addiction (and I am talking the hard stuff like meth) is dangerous to yourself and others around you. Homosexuality harms no one, that is why it is insulting to compare it to something that easily kills users and sometimes people around them. Same thing with the violence comparison.

it amused me and whenever Mobboss brought up common sense lots of people would tell him that.

What about drugs that aren't lethal? Marijuana for example (and yes, there is marijuana addiction)... or functional alcoholics?

People do all sorts of stuff for love and sex, by the way, too... hetero or homo... it leads to many deaths.

People are often driven to drug use by chemical abnormalities in their brains, and to them it makes just as much sense to use a drug regularly that is prescribed as one that isn't... is that so bad?

I don't think that transfers very effectively.

Really? Gay people come up to you and graphically discuss their sex lives? Or is it you who see something you associate with the "lifestyle" and then can't help thinking about sexual stuff? Seems like that is your problem and not theirs.

 

[holy king]

and yeah, it would be fine if somebody told me how much he liked watersports.

i dont see anything wrong with somebody telling me that. could you explain to me what's wrong about it?

 

[Oruc]

What about "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"?

still your post was absurd, you don't have to tolerate everybody. Would you tolerate a Fascist? an Islamist? Coprophiliac? I know I wouldn't tolerate the last one I outed that guy to everyone.

You heard it here people LGBTers are akin to facists and people who eat their own crap.

 

[holy king]

now you hate corpohiliacs?

seriously, what's with your strange obsession with other people's sex lives?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Coprophiliac?

I didn't realize you could compare being gay to using poop during sex

 

[Oruc]

You keep your fetish in the privacy of your own home, don't show pictures to people you just met whats that about?

They are both a fetish

Because some people are icky, which is why it's okay not to tolerate their existence.

...Wait when did being gay become a "fetish"?

 

[Bugfatty300]

No. A "fetish" is a sexual fixation on inanimate objects or specific parts of the body. A person is not a "fetish," no more than your wife or girlfriend is a "fetish."

 

[Oruc]

...Wait when did being gay become a "fetish"?

Well you were offended by how I referred to you before, so I choose something you wouldn't find offensive

 

[useless]

We both know that homosexuality isn't a fetish, Oruc.
