Christians didn't determine the position about homosexuality. It was determined long before the church was established and not by mankind but the creator of mankind. If you choose to believe there is no supreme being so be it but at least get the chronology correct as to the determination being made.
What people outside the faith choose to do is none of the business of the people in it. "We are in the world but not of the world." etc. And as has been pointed out 100 times, it's not the only sin, or the most common one, or the most serious, or even mentioned much in the bible, but it gets a disproportionate amount of coverage in modern US Christianity for reasons that have never been adequately explained. IMO, it's a fad. It's a flavor of the moment outrage, like the temperance movement. A generation from now it will be as tolerated a sin as gluttony.
Maybe it has something to do with the surge of declarations in the societal interactions and entertainment industry. There seems to be more of a display and promotion of the lifestyle from these sources than ever before. Just maybe the reaction is proportional to to proactive movements.
I didn't say to get away from teh gays, I meant everyone!That's why I moved into the country on 29 acres. To get away form the da gayzz!! Come to find out those bastards are everywhere!!!

Not just societal, but governmental as well. And then with the pushes for the things like letting someone decide themselves what sex they should be and legal decisions actually allowing them to chose what restroom facilities they want to use. That is absolutely nuts ( no pun intended). It seems like any value or traditional norm ever held by this country is now taboo and everything outside of that is completely acceptable.
Having separate bathrooms for blacks and whites was a traditional norm. Traditions can be shit.
Okay, I can't do it anymore. You can't compare skin color to a person's sex. It's stupid to even try.
You mean to say you refuse to think about something because it makes you angry. You absolutely can compare race and sex, if you're willing to be analytical instead of emotional.
No, it's a stupid comparison. If a black female goes in to a public restroom that my daughter is in, I'm ok with that. If a black or white gay female goes in to a public restroom that my daughter is in, I'm ok with that. If somebody that identifies as a woman, but has a dick, goes in to a public restroom that my daughter is in, I am NOT ok with that. And I don't give a fuck what color they are.
Right, because you weren't raised with the conventions of your great grandparents. This nonsensical implication that trans people are rapists running a long con is exactly as foolish as every dumbass concoction made by bigots.
Is there a reason to be whining about things that happened 100+ years ago, other than to be just whining? We are living in today. Times have changed. Shit that happened when NONE OF US WERE ALIVE has no bearing on us now. So yeah. Trying to compare the color of somebody's skin to their sex TODAY is patently retarded.
I said before, these comparisons are BS. A man with a penis is a man with a penis regardless what he wants to be called and should use a men's room. My 13 year old daughter should not be subjected to having to use a stall next to a man under any circumstance. She understands and knows she is a female and would rather hold it in than do that. She shouldn't have to have her rights infringed on by a person with a psychological difficulty, period. ANd the same applies to a female that thinks they are trapped in a man's body. If I had a 13 year old son, I wouldn't want him subjected to that circumstance either. IT isn't a matter of whether or not I think they might do something untoward.
Segregation ended in 1964, that's 52 years ago, not 100+.
We're talking about bigotry, of which history is ripe with the tradition of. I'd like to live in the here and now, it's people who want to get back to traditional values who are trying to revive the past, I'm just saying what's wrong with that.
This is the crazy part. You're saying that a person who's willing to commit a sex crime has been held at bay this whole time by a sign with some stick figures? That has never happened in the history of time, that a potential rapist got cold feet because he didn't want to walk in a restroom. This is the same faulty logic that supposes that if owning guns is a crime, then criminals won't have guns.
You're the one that brought up going back to the time of our great grandparents. So, unless you're around ten years old it sure sounded like you were talking further back than 50 years.
No, I am NOT saying that a person who's willing to commit a sex crime has been held at bay this whole time by a sign with some stick figures. Spare us with the Jiggy 101 attempt at arguing a point by twisting what was actually said. What I DID say, was that this would be a handy little loophole for a pervert to try and exploit. And if anybody thinks that won't happen, they're a fool. This is what I'm talking about, not some ignorant fairy tale of being "held at bay" theory you made up. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/sexual-predator-jailed-after-claiming-to-be-transgender-in-order-to-assault There are more stories like it, if you care to look.
I liked how he glossed right over me mentioning the loophole that could be used by pedos, and vaulted right into things he imagined I had said, and then used guns as an example. The liberal diversion tactics and slight of hand arguments are strong in him.
Nah, go ahead and jump in. I'm bored.
