If a physicist writes out an equation do you tell him he's full of shit? If someone survived some rare disease and tells you about their experiences do you laugh them off as idiots? Just because YOU haven't been THERE makes YOU and expert on a given subject? That is idiocy.

If the journey coincides with the nature of Antarctica, then why would I not believe it? If they suddenly go off on a tangent about experiencing god there, then that is absconding from reality.

Because He doesn't fit in your brain. And believe me honey... it aint me that's gonna try and convince you of anything God. Do not worry yourself about that! I'm not here to convert pagans. Just antagonize them.

The theistic point will always be missed so long as it relies upon faith. However, I digress. The only one equipped with understanding god is one who has forsaken reality for the delusional comfort that provides an escape from a reality deemed too harsh.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand if you'll look at the link I posted, it talks about veteran suicides almost a full page before it gets to teenage LGBT suicides. I try to be "fair and balanced", to borrow an expression unironically. Actually, I'd say it speaks to a remarkable degree of mental stability on the part of the LGBT kids, given that suicide is more likely among teens in general, due to the massive identity crisis that comes with puberty and finding their self image as young adults, that it's not more common. But the point remains that both anecdotal and statistical evidence bears out that they are driven to suicide at a higher rate, and it's not because they're mentally imbalanced simply by being homosexual. You cannot possibly be so blind to the pressures that social and family expectation can place on a person. I just saw a video linked here yesterday, where a Christian minister was talking to his congregation about how, after cheating on his wife, he almost committed suicide rather than face the opprobrium he knew (or thought) would come from his fellow Christians, his wife, and their families... he just couldn't face them. He wasn't crazy, just a person who felt like he had obligations and emotional ties to his family and community, like a normal human being.

I mean, for fuck's sake, dude... you refused to attend your own daughter's wedding.
What the fuck... what a self-righteous asshole! "I don't approve"? Well who gives a shit if you approve or not!? It's your daughter! You sound exactly like a member of the Ku Klux Klan refusing to go to his daughter's wedding because she's marrying a black guy!

You are an appointed defender of the laws of nature? The laws of nature require no defense. I know that you understand this, so please...enough with the pretense. Your issue with homosexuality comes down to your religious beliefs and this is an atheist forum. Your beliefs as to how your God views homosexuality are meaningless to those of us who do not believe in your God. What do you not understand about that? The Bible means nothing to most of the users of this forum. Absolutely nothing. Still you insist on referring to the expectations of your God and Scripture, to admonish and attempt to alter the behavior of members of this forum. You really don't get it, do you? Well, here it is again....try and get it through your head, please. The rules and directives for living, prayer, etc. that are specific to Christianity, only apply to those that adhere to the religion. No one else cares. |
