So you understand the standard to be harm = bad. And no harm = good.

Why? Who decided that? That's your belief, based not on objective information, but based on belief alone.

I am well aware that "ATTACK!" is the prism through which you view everything, but no. I mentioned it because you always bring up the most horrible scenarios, focus on and refer to reams of studies about nasty diseases gay men get, seem so obsessed with the concept of "sin" and "immorality", etc. I can only base that observation on your words, of course. Maybe in real life people would describe you as an upbeat, sunny guy, but that's not how you present yourself here. Your thoughts seem to come from a very dark place.

I'm not saying anything you don't already know about yourself, you know. That's not designing anything to make you look bad. You do you!

That's OK. I don't mind being in the minority.

Another day, another demonstration of fundies hating on gays.

Should liars be refused wedding cakes? Jay walkers? Thieves?

How about hookers? Pimps? Drug addicts?

Fundies would bake them all cakes. Because fundies are hypocrites.

A favourite smarmy fundie adage is "hate the sin, love the sinner."

But when it comes to gays, it's "hate the sin and the sinner."

If you walk into a bakery and demand a cake to celebrate any of those things, then it's up to the "fundie" in question to bake it or not. In the same way that you probably believe that Facebook has the right to censor the KKK.

Basic human understanding and common sense. It also happens to fall in line with that "love one another" thing that somebody once said.

You keep bringing up Facebook, even after multiple people, over multiple weeks, have taken the time to explain why this is not comparable. Why do you keep sticking with this, BF? Can't think of any actual valid arguments or scenarios?

You're making assumptions, based on your understanding. So don't call it fact, or "based on information". It's your opinion.

But interestingly enough, you believe that Jesus would advocate for sin? You think he's ok with homosexuality when God clearly says it's wrong?

Your god-thing didn't "say" anything in your holey book. Primitive sandpoopers who claimed to be channeling it wrote that collection of pamphlets.
