You addressed "theists" not homophobes in your OP. Theists != homophobes.

No one owes you shit or submission merely because you don't like it. If you don't like gay sex, then don't have gay sex. But gays don't owe you shit. That is your own phobia and bigotry and they are not going to make your idiocy their problem.

He was pointing out the loading question by asking a loaded question.

Ok and by equating gays to fucking cows is a good way of doing that?

Well I was rushed for time (work), I really should have put religious homophobes and why are religions naturally homophobic. I guess I did not make that clear.

He wasn't equating at all.

I think alot of religious folk would not hate lesbians/gay people/Bi sexuals,if it didn't say so in their religious texts.I mean they wouldn't do other certain things or follow certain rules if they weren't in there as well.
Right?

1.Why do you Hate LGBT people so much?
2.Would you still hate them if your book said nothing about it?
I want honest answer and no apologetics, we can smell the bullshit.
Maybe if you didn't ask loaded questions you might get a straight answer. I don't appreciate being labelled as a hateful person when I'm not.

As for me, all I can tell you is that two of my (now previous) friends who were homosexual came out to me before their own parents, and before most of their other friends knew. I guess nobody told them what a hateful person I am? Rolleyes

I understand Daniel that Gooders is referring more to your wholly book and not necessarily you personally ...

I'd say Daniel's understanding of the questions is at least as good as yours, and actually better.

Let me straighten this out once and FOR ALL, I am looking for both the Holy book and the person, question 1 is about the region it was not directed at 1 person but at a religion to clear that up (or that's what I meant to say, sorry about the confusion). Question two is about the person and if they would still be homophobic if it was not for their religion.
I am sorry I should had made it clearer I was in a rush to get to work, for that I am sorry.

Two men having sex is not the same as a man fucking a cow asshole. You merely find two men having sex yucky. Some women love to have their pussies eaten, and others don't. Just because you don't like it does not make it wrong....

Okay, I'll bite. In what morally relevant way is a man ass-fucking a cow different from two men ass-fucking each other?
