Look at the behavior of many male and female heterosexuals, they appear completely untethered from reality, yet we don't deny ALL heterosexuals basic civil rights.

If you want to deny all people of a group civil rights based on the actions of a few, then no one will have any rights.

Your typo, although unintended, is brilliant because you just crystallized the matter here.

gods. As in plural, as in more than one, as in there isn't only one "god". I don't know who you worship, but it certainly isn't a christian "god". The bishop is entirely right in his assessment, so why do you think you have the right to tell who it is he does and does not worship?

There are multiple pantheons above and below. Prove me wrong.

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,"

Timothy 3:16

You choose to ignore the word of God that's your choice. However as Christians we are not going by Gods thoughts but His word as manifested in the Bible.

How can you or ANY person claim to know what god thinks?
We know what He says as written in the Bible.

Accordingly, no human can know or say what God wants. Ever. Under any circumstances. Therefore it is totally disconnected from reality.

People who proclaim that something is "God's" will mean it is "their" will. The way they want it to be. Religion = relativism.

Ah lectures from the unfaithful on a religion they don't believe in how quaint.

This is irrational. There are many bibles, and all were written by men, who cannot ever know God's will. Therefore, the particular Bible that you have decided to "like" is NOT God's will. The Bible that you have decided to "like" is NOT God's word. You've got to use some common sense.

Don't characterize an argument, counter it.

No, it's your view. Most Jews and Christians do not share your extremist viewpoints.

Not entirely accurately, since it's impossible to translate Ancient Hebrew and Koine Greek word for word into English.
