:sigh:

It is not Bible bashing. It is using the brains God gave us to analyze what we know about the book. No one can ever answer me as to why its a bad thing to use logic in this conversation...

Ok then... Let's use some of your "logic"...

Care to point me to any sign of logic in this sentence? All I can find is intolerance and lack of acceptance making a general assumption about many peoples' religion.

I'll find more of these "logic"-filled quotes of yours if you'd like me to, bud!

There is an old saying... "Do not argue with a fool, lest you be mistaken for one".


Move on, not worth the effort, there is no resolution to be had, no understanding to be achieved.
Agreed. When the mind is closed, the attempt at discussion is pointless.

Different Religion than the family or no religion?
They didn't want or couldn't have children?

I think many that show such a hatred for Homosexuals have insecurities in their own sexuality.

Being Homosexual does NOT prevent a person from reproducing, I would estimate millions of heterosexual couples use the same method.
#1 - yes.
#2 - only if Muslim
#3 - no, but I'll probably be dead by then

So you're saying that millions of *normal* men and women are trying to *conceive* by ****ing each other in the a**? That's a problem.

Those of us who have heterosexual kids and others who have no kids will never know how we would react if our child was homosexual. Hypothetical answers to hypothetical questions don't mean much. It is easy to make an academic decision if we have never experienced the situation.

Well, lets see if you had followed the thread you would have known that the person's parents in question flipped out when they found out he was gay and immediately wanted to send him for conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is, at best, BS medicine and at worst, abusive. So yes, that is some crazy mofo reactions. Who would do that to their child? Right. People who are brainwashed by a church who professes love but then encourages its members to send their loved ones off to these places to get electroshock therapy in order to change their sexual persuasion.

Please don't condescend to me about how intolerant and unaccepting I am. Number one, you have no clue who I surround myself with on a daily basis. Second, you tell me about tolerance and acceptance yet support parents who want to send their children off to get electrified into liking the right person...and I'm wrong? I don't think so, bud.

You want to cherry pick what I've said and pretend you don't know what I mean...go right ahead.

Perhaps you can explain then. If God didn't write the Torah and man didn't write the Torah, where did it come from?
