Absolutely, yes you did. Right here below. In post #8 said that the OP's post was an indication of how out of touch some right-wingers are. That was my opinion. In response to that, right here you mocked me for that post. Thus, at the very same moment you were mocking me for ridiculing somebody's opinion, you were ridiculing my opinion.

We aren't there yet with the New Liberal Church, but we are getting there.

Personally, I don't care for homophones. It's sew easy two get them confused sometimes.

Heterosexuality is "typical." That's why it dominates all species. As you noted, if it was dominant, species would cease to reproduce in large numbers and eventually go extinct.

Homosexuality is "normal" (as in, "natural") but it is not "dominant." A small percentage of individuals are born with homosexuality - it is like a recessive trait. That's why it persists, similar to people born with 6 fingers and toes and other out-of-the-norm traits. Just because it's an out-of-the-norm trait, does not mean it cannot be "natural" and continue to persist in nature - it's simply a trait that occurs in a small percentage of individuals.
Simply existing in nature isn't enough to make something natural.

If it were, nothing that exists could be excluded from the group of things that are natural.

What kind of bizarre argument is that?

You actually just said that something that exists in nature isn't natural?!?! That is an actual contradiction!

Plastic bottles aren't produced by nature. Thus, they aren't natural.

Duh.

Here's my final attempt at clarifying this matter for you: I absolutely support you having any opinion you wish to have. But that in no way equates to me not responding negatively concerning your opinion. They are not one and the same. In other words, you have your right to your opinion, but you have no right to expect your opinion to be canonized or unchallenged.

I am not telling you to not have an opinion when I disagree with you or "mock" you.

This is what I originally said. I was stating my opinion that threads like this demonstrate how out-of-touch with reality some right-wingers are.

And then you came along and attacked me for stating that opinion. That is, you were doing exactly what you were attacking me for doing: Attacking someone for stating an opinion.

I was not expecting my opinion to be canonized or unchallenged. It was you who, in your attack on my opinion, said that we should not attack other people for their opinions. Since you were clearly contradicting your own belief in the very same words with which you stated that belief, all I did was point out you were being hypocritical.

Well... can't say I didn't try three times to clarify it for you. It's obvious that you are being purposely obtuse. That's fine, but it doesn't bode well for doing anything except propagating a back and forth artillery duel. Which is counterproductive for both combatants. So I've ordered my artillery officers to just allow you to keep shooting blanks without returning fire.

You realized you were contradicting yourself after I pointed it out to you. Now all you're doing is trying to make excuses for yourself.

Posts like this exhibit the sheer enormity of the ignorance in society today. Were it not for sex between male and female organisms life as we know it on this planet would not exist. Go and learn something. You impress no one as you are now.

This thinking is where postmodernism has brought us: no right, no wrong, no good, no evil, no mentally healthy, no mentally ill.
