Well, the stupid little cunt just told me he was putting me on ignore for 'not contributing' to any discussion. Amazing projection of theistic inadequacy onto others around here, but what else is new? Bigot is about the nicest thing you could say about him.
Well personally I think you're the opposite: a great contributor; I've never seen a poster with so much energy and so much to say, almost always on point. Anyway as to this, I've always thought it was at least theoretically possible for someone to be religious and to have a stance that comes from that (in this case anti-gay) but which is not driven by personal prejudice but rather the requirements of the religion, but I guess I'm just being naive.

Sodomite is simply someone who engages in sodomy, including heterosexuals.
What motivated you to employ the term in the way you did?
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.'

Someone should explain how, if a term is meant not to have a negative connotation, it ought not be used in a sentence meant to be a pejorative derision. Oh, wait, they know better and think WE'RE the stupid ones. If that's what theism does to the mind, no thanks.
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.

I just don't believe any number of psychiatrists in existence could sort out HIS mental problems.

That's why he said he knows few of them.

Got an example of that? I'm reasonably tolerant.
Quote:who's full of shit pretending you know things you don't
I've researched my positions better than my opponents have. The born gay position was pushed so that gay rights would feel like rights based on skin color to the general public. Twins studies show that position is wrong. When one identical twin is a certain color, the other is two, at or near 100% of the time. When one twin is gay, the other one usually isn't. But, the concordance is higher than the general rate of gays in the population. These are facts. I'm not making things up. Look into it yourself if you like. Most people don't look things up themselves and the MSM mostly ignored these studies, so the born gay concept was an effective persuader.
Quote:and give no fucks about how badly it hurts anyone.
Well, yeah, if you're hurt by the facts, that doesn't really bother me.

You guessed wrong Cyb. 
In fact I do know them because I work in several medical facilities here in Queensland not because I need them.

That was the joke, Rik. Well done. Have a shiny sticker from the special Good Boy cupboard.
