Religion and LGBT people
January 14, 2013 at 11:25 am (This post was last modified: January 14, 2013 at 11:56 am by Gooders1002.)
I would like a straight no-nonsence answer (if thats even possable) from thiests.
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.

No pun intended I presume.

Come on, at least try to get the spelling and punctuation right.
Quote:1.Why do you Hate LGBT people so much?
Because Kathy Griffin likes them so much and I take an opposing position to her whenever possible.
Quote:2.Would you still hate them if your book said nothing about it?
Yes.

1. I don't hate gay people. My brother is gay and my sister a lesbian.

2. I don't anyway so question irrelevant.

This is a loaded question but anyways...

When I was a Christian, I never hated LGBT people. I never met a single fundie either who "hated" them. I'm sure there are Christians out there who hate LGBT people but most of the fundies I knew thought of LGBT people as mentally sick people who needed treatment and religion sort of like you how might think of drug addicts. They pitied them. They didn't hate them.

I didn't really think of them that way though. No matter how I looked at it as a Christian I couldn't honestly find anything wrong with being LGBT.

Quote:2.Would you still hate them if your book said nothing about it?

Again loaded question, but you don't need religion to fear people who are different than you.

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. Your personal hang ups do not constitute the rest of us submitting to you.

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.

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