But it's still a horrible word and slur/generalisation however you use it, extended definition or not, IMO.

Oh, come on, that dickhole knew full well what he was saying. He claims to be better than us, once again trying to throw shade because he's insecure about his own failure as a human being.

Minimalist is not gay (or if he is, he's kept it very quiet Wink), so the usual usage of that word can't apply here. But it's just as derogatory in its more specialised usage.

I agree. It is a horrible word. He deserves it.

Well it's not my place to get involved in whatever fight you've got with Minimalist. As I said, I didn't know who you were talking about when you said that.

Well, there is your use of the word "fornication", which carries rather specific prejudicial baggage and is, sadly, revealing of your personal stance. I'd call that bigotry, especially if nothing will sway you from such an opinion.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Are they hurt by the fact that when one identical twin is gay, the other usually isn't? Why?

Quote:and I don't like seeing them being oppressed by fucks like you who claim not to be intolerant and bigoted

How am I oppressing them? I have gay clients. I've never gone to an anti-gay demonstration. How is pointing out identical twins studies oppressing gays?

just because you don't like the definitions of those words and have to fall back on bullshit studies by liars like yourself to make yourselves believe you're right.[/quote]

To my knowledge the American Journal of Sociology isn't liars.

Quote:If you were right this would be the prevailing fucking opinion because that's how science works. This is why you fail. It's like climate change; no one likes it but the prevailing opinion in the scientific community is that it's happening and we're contributing to it. Get a fucking clue, wanker.

So why dis the AJS publish one of the articles I'm referring to?

I think you will find that fornication is a very general word that applies to all kinds of sexual immorality. Gender identity wasn't a thing for the writers of the bible.

If you think groveling to a non-existant god so you'll have the pleasure of sucking his holy cock for eternity is a "life" then you are welcome to it, scumbag.  I'll take what I've had and invite you to blow your fucking jesus out your ass.

And presupposing sexual immorality is not a bigoted stance?

Every suicide from gay conversion therapy attempts is on the head of pieces of intolerant bigoted shit who insist it's a fucking choice.

BTW, identical twins don't have the same fingerprints. Still think everything about them needs to be the fucking same? God DAMN I'm sick of retarded motherfuckers around here.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

If by bigotry you mean intolerance of beliefs and behaviors that offend some kind of moral standard, sure. I don't tolerate lies. You probably don't either. Or if you are talking about intolerance of self-selected groups that have vile and depraved ideologies, sure. I don't tolerate communist organizations. Otherwise sexual immorality is not limited to any particular demographic. Neither is any other type of immorality. There is nothing special about sexual immortality that separates it from other offenses. All forms of wickedness are lumped in together and not attributed uniquely to any particular group. For example:

"To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." - Revelation 21:6-8

Just remember that when you point your finger at someone's infringement of your sensibilities, you have three fingers pointing back at you.

And why should I care what someone wrote in a dusty old book, especially when they can't even spell words like 'sulphur'?
