Why is it perfectly acceptable for Christians to judge all gay people based on this guy's actions, but the moment someone does that on their end, it's totally unfair? How is this not hypocrisy, which as I understand it, Jesus despised?
Fundies are blind to their own hyposcrisy. It's a requirement.

That's one angry, unhappy-sounding woman.
Surprised she didn't follow the GA's lead in NC and pepper spray anyone should thought was transgender.

I could say the exact same about atheists.

Did someone judge all gay people? I must have missed it.

And how are gay people judged by Christians?

Well, if by saying that the church seems to ok with child rape is judging all Christians, saying this man did what he did because he was gay, as was stated multiple times, would then logically be judging all gay people?

But perhaps you missed the point. Many, yourself included, drone on about how gay people love to play the victim card. Yet when Christians scream of persecution because something they disagree with was passed by law, that's not playing the victim.

I'm saying it's about hypocrisy. Focus on that instead of a minor detail in regards to what constitutes as judgement. People like Cupper are described as hateful towards Christians. Unless you can convince me otherwise, absolutely nothing is different about this thread than any of Cuppers except for the subjects involved. If Cupper's threads are hateful and intolerant, what is your and how does it correspond with Christian values?

If you say the words "the Bible teaches", you will be accused of judging.
