Well, why should I? It's not my place to judge anybody like that. As soon as you start judging others, you are now open to being judged yourself, and there's always something to judge about anyone. Of course, even if you aren't judging others, others can still judge you, but in that case, they wouldn't have the right, since you're not doing the same to them.

I'll keep this in mind if I ever see you getting the shit beaten out of you in an alley because you are gay.  Carry on, guys, carry on...
Why is it so?

Indoctrination - the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

Sigh...

Yes, we know.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Yeah I know too, Spongebob is obviously homophobic, but I didn't want to point that out at first.

That's what you got out of his post in response to your post about not your place to judge people?

Yeah, you have to be a POE. No way anyone could legitimately miss Spongebob's obvious sarcasm toward your ridiculous post.

Here, let me spell it out as plainly as possible for you:

You said it wasn't your place to judge people.

Spongebob used a reductio ad absurdum to point out, that anyone with even the most basic set of ethics, would judge someone if they are beating someone up just because they are gay.

You wouldn't judge someone harshly if they were beating another person up simply for being gay?

@Ahriman is also on record asking if ending slavery in America really made things better. You guys gotta quit feeding it, lol.

He's a few hundred pages from being like cdf. Just sayin - low energy, weak..sad.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Was thinking earlier he reminds me of CDF, though at least CDF had the wherewithal to only troll his own thread.

I imagine at some point, 500 pages down the line, @Ahriman’s mom is gonna pull him out of her basement by the earlobe and we’ll never hear from him again. Hopefully.
