I said there are areas of some Christian majority countries that engage in stoning.

Stoning is alive and well in the rural areas of Uganda.

Life in prison was substituted for death penalty in anti homosexual legislation in 2014.

Many former British colonies in Africa impose harsh consequences on those engaging in same sex relations.

Because the left are bullies who won't dare go against anyone who would hit them back.
" Turn the other cheek" is an open invitation for them in their minds.

And that's a far cry from throwing gays off of buildings, which the Left conveniently ignores.


I'm not a Christian...... I'm not even particularly religious.

But equating modern Christianity with much of Islam, which is still stuck in the dark ages......

Is not just hypocritical, it's laughingly disingenuous.

All good points.

Because in this country, christians in power will try to use that governmental power to force their religious beliefs onto gay people. Like that woman who was a county clerk and wouldn't give gays marriage licenses. If a person who is muslim or jewish did the same thing, I would consider them using their government assigned powers incorrectly. Do you have an examples of that?

Please point to a bill introduced in the US House or Congress in the last 10 years that would jail gay people for being gay?

Please give an example?

Who appointed you and the Left the sole arbiters of what constitutes "hate"?


And I'm not even talking about legislation......

I'm talking about attitudes of the Church and it's members, Christian owned businesses etc.

Being gay is not a "behavior".

Besides, you're not in any position to "approve" of anyone else.


I'm not talking about myself.

If you took time to read my posts, that might not have flown over your head.

I don’t know about you but I have seen many self loathing white liberals. Just because a liberal is white does not mean he is not biased against his own people. White guilt is common among white liberals, although I admit I have no ide of what percentage of white liberals are like this. What I do know is that I have seen it over and over again, young white liberals railing against white people. I stand by the post I quoted and do believe it is a correct assessment.
