Oh no you just used some friendly terms like this:
"What could possibly go wrong with living your life by following ancient laws written by anonymous authors in dead languages by ignorant, racist, sexist, superstitious goat herding barbarians who believed that everything they couldn't explain in the world was magic?"
Maybe it's just me, but that sounds a tad bit disrespectful and angry. Well millions have lived their lives by the Word of God and will testify to power and blessing of being born again.
It's true jeff. These are the people that wrote your book to live by. I'm not angry at all.

You could have simply said you don't believe in Bible. No need to post four extremely disrespectful adjectives to rip the Bible apart. The rhetoric is telling.
I don't need convincing. If nothing else, your responses have only served to strengthen my faith and prove the Bible. Good job on that.
"You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."
Matthew 10:22
You are not hated. You are making unsubstantiated claims in public, and some people are pointing that out. Which, in your twisted way of thinking, only proves your unsubstantiated claims.
You are a victim of a sophisticated, self-reinforcing belief system with built-in defenses. I was too until a few years ago.

Ahhhh... the hair shirt of fundamentalism. They love to use Jesus so they can feel better about their discrimination and prejudice. They tell the LGBT community they are sinners who should be ashamed and back in the closet. Then, when they get push-back (including push back from gay Christians) they say, "You hate us 'cause we follow Jesus!"
Fundamentalists, who won't follow Jesus' command to "love one another", have this odd idea he's OK with the way they treat the LGBT community. Which is, as is evidenced by this thread, not in any way Christian.

The rhetoric was supposed to be telling. This is the origin of your beliefs. Not the pie in the sky sugar coating. Did I rip the bible apart? Not a very strong book then.

Oh the Bible has survived just fine for thousands of years despite haters like you who want to destroy it. You only ripped it apart in your mind.

Homosexuality is a sexual sin. The Bible says we are to flee from sexually immorality. I wouldn't give a thumbs up and say nothing if I had a neighbor who engaged in necrophilia in public view either.

Great, then atheists should have no problem conducting a friendly mockery free respectful discussion even though we disagree, right?

Funny I wasn't the one saying I ripped it apart.
Like I said before I don't hate it or want to destroy it. (but whatever fits your narrative)
