More parroting? What is up with that? Why do so many fundamentalists parrot back what is said to them? Interesting phenomenon.... but never mind that, let's get to the meat of your accusation. Which is that you are wrong again, Jeffy. I complain about the prejudice and bigotry of some Bible believing Christians. Because prejudice and bigotry destroys innocent people and must be exposed and fought. You, on the other hand, complain about ALL homosexuals. Me? A closet fundamentalist Christian? Sounds suffocating. And dark. Besides.... I can think for myself and believe a woman's place is in the pulpit. And the Oval Office.
I'd make a LOUSY fundamentalist.
I think Jeff confuse the words some and all. Or else he believes that if one person in a group says or does something all members of the group have now done so.

Parroting? I am only showing how ridiculous arguments like closet gay poster are by mirroring it back to you. You would make a lousy magician because the misdirection is quite obvious. Stick to the topic and leave me personally out it. How many times do I have to say that?

I think he deliberately ignores anything that interferes with his narrative.
I never accused anyone of being a closet case, don't put words in my mouth/words from my fingers.
I also didn't start any threads about it,so I don't know what you're talking about.
I just don't understand how someone can get so wrapped up in issues that don't effect them in any way, shape, or form. Ssm hasn't changed anything for heterosexual people who want to get married.
Well you certainly strongly implied it. Are you going to deny that too? didn't start this thread either, but you love to accuse us of being obsessed with this topic when in reality, it's your side that is doing the bulk of posting.

Yet you feel free to declare that it does not bother me if Christians are attacked or mistreated. Maybe if you do not want to be attacked personally you should cease making personal attacks on others. Most of your posts on this thread have been off topic and you have made the claim or should i say whine that your valid points were ignored when in fact you never made any points up to that time pertaining to the topic.
People are not arguing with you because you are a Christian. You are just a person who presents your case poorly, ignore or misrepresent what others say and relish the role of victim.
Hey if all else fails, just accuse the opponent of actually being a closet gay person! Works everytime huh? Of course, it is a very weak debate tactic, but maybe it will work for those who are 99% on the atheist side.
Here's a thought, if you don't like the topic, don't start threads about it!
You're talking to me I suppose.
I didn't accuse you, I merely put forward the question of the possibility, since it's a well know fact that many who are homophobic, or in the case of many, many " preachers " who preach anti gay hatred end up being gay themselves. The are usually found out not of there own choosing. :roll eyes:
So the question begs, why do you appear so obsessed with gay people?

I didn't imply anything. If you read more into what I posted, that's on you, not me, Jeff.
As for the whole "your side" thing, I'm a spiritual person, I just don't agree with the way christianity is handled. I was turned off to the formal church as a teen and I have to say, people like you make me glad I did.
Hypocritical and insincere, that's how I view most Christians, not all, because there are some that live the word, live the Golden rule, and don't use their religion as weapon to oppress others.
I say to each their own. You are the one that takes offense for reading what I post and feel you are being slighted. You find a way to play the victim card when it was never a desire by me or the purpose.

You absolutely did and you know it. It was a lame cheap shot that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

Let me guess, you are not implying that you are better than me, here right? I guess I'm just "reading more into" it. People like me? You don't know thing about me. People like YOU are extremely judgmental as you show here once again.

Then do enlighten me to the true purpose and intent of your comment about fondling genitals.

More baseless claims. Your side always attacks my character regardless of what I post.

And most of your points have been nothing but direct personal attacks instead of actually giving me a direct counter argument. Do I need to go back and post examples?

Really, and does that explain why the other Bible believing Christians who do not support homosexuality also get jumped on here? Oh no, it's only because of me according to you. This is a really old tactic where the atheist not only attacks the Christian's character, but makes it sound like they are the ONLY ones in the entire world who hold to such positions. Isolation tactic. Again, the topic is gay marriage so whatever you think about me personally has nothing to do with the topic. Got that?
