Promiscuity and sexual hedonism are the perfect axe for atheists to grind against God, but one which is totally irrelevant to the oft-stated definition of "an atheist" namely, a person who lacks belief in God(s).

I know why so many atheists are obsessed with issues of personal sexual freedom - including abortion and why they continually shirt-front people who hold different personal moral values and ethics.

We believe christians exist, though, and they often like to infringe upon the rights of people. Surprisingly, we're allowed to have more than one thought at any given time, though I can see why a christian might be surprised at that.

Please, do tell us what we think...

It might be because so many Christians are obsessed with forcing everybody else to adhere to their sexual standards.

You mean the same biblical teachings that tell us that a bride should be killed if she's not a virgin?

Or that a victim of rape should be forced to marry her rapist?

Or that a disobedient child should be stoned to death by the whole town?

Don't use the hateful, evil contents of the bible as justification here Chad, it carries no weight at all.

You are free to hold as many outdated bronze age beliefs as you like.
No-one here will try to stop you.
We will only arc up when you try to impose them on others.

In short, don't like gay marriage?

Then don't have one.

Not all of them! If everyone lived to the same standards of sexual behaviour as Christians there would not be enough choir boys to go around!

Too far?

No. Not too far for a faker like you. Pathetic!
I spotted you from day one!

When will you ever understand? We are not 'against' your version of whatever god it is you believe in. WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOUR GOD EXISTS! How can one be against something that is imaginary (until proven otherwise)?

Sticking up for sexual equality is NOT ubiqitous to being an atheist; It's ubiqitous to being a humanist maybe, or an egalitarian. It is called a 'coincidence' that many atheists are also in favour of sexual equality; yet you read into it as another persecution against Xtians/theists per se.

Say, Lion, how's that persecution complex that you display so often coming along?

No you don't. It's painfully obvious to everyone on this baord you don't know anything at all.

He has a different interpretation of the bible to you and automatically he's a 'faker'.

Would that be a correct assessment?

Ha. No I've got better things to do, but thanks for the invite. Your delusions of persecution are enough to get you through this lifetime at least, I'd say.

Anything else to say on the points above?

Do you have any actual evidence that Jacob is a 'faker'? Or is it an automatic attack from you because he seems to have a different (less judgemental) take on his interpretation of the bible?

Persecution complex combined with childish tough guy impulses. That's a charming combination.

By the way, where do you get off telling Jacob what he believes? His attitude is far more in line with the spirit of what christians like to pretend christianity's message is than yours will ever be.
