It's sarcasm, genius.
It's simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the current crusade (and by current, I mean roughly the last century, though of course the suppression, harassment, and murder of homosexuals in the name of God goes back much further than that) against the LGBT community by Christians in this country, when they're not going after people to whom the Bible dedicates quite a few more verses and prohibitions, such as fornicators like myself. All the scenarios above are not an "appeal to bigotry"
ster·e·o·type
/ˈsterēəˌtīp/

1.a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.
big·ot·ry
/ˈbiɡətrē/
noun
noun: bigotry; plural noun: bigotries
intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
So how was your response a an appeal to bigoted stereotypes? Let's look at your follow up:
Quote:but a highlighting of hypocrisy, since if those activist Christians were truly as serious about their Bible's prohibitions as they claim to be when screaming "GOD HATES YOU, FAGGOT!" at people, they would also be going after people like me, who are not gay but who nevertheless violate Biblical prohibitions. They should be knocking on my door, so to speak.
In light of what I have said in my initial post on this thread "That Homosexuality is just a sexual sin like any other (no better no worse)" I (A Christian) laid out the biblical response all Christians SHOULD take. Which BTW summarized what you said in the above statement. However rather than speak on point or ask a question concerning those "Hate Fags" under the banner of God. You pressed the idea that ALL Christianity shares this view, not just a radical subset. So in essence you have taken the actions of a radical minority and applied it to the whole of Christianity.
Look Again at your words in the following quote. You further highlight the hate that radical anti gay christians have and apply it to the whole of the religion. Don't look now sport that is not just 'intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.' This action also files under the definition of stereotyping as well: "a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing." In this case the whole of Christianity and or Christian Doctrine.
Quote:Yet they're not there, because I'm a "normal" heterosexual, in their eyes, so while I might be a sinner, I'm not a target for victimization and harassment.Do you see it? You do Not care how actual Christianity works, This is stereotyping because you have asserted your feelings on how you THINK ALL of Christianity works on this matter, and this is also Bigotry because we all should do as you say rather than hold fast to our religious beliefs. (which again means we should treat everyone the same who fall under sexual sin.) Because you perceive that we ALL don't, (Even though I clearly outline that we do) this generates hate and intolerance in you.
Finally, what in the world is "Rather than look at what scripture actually says thus defining what a proper Christian response should be"? I don't give a fuck what your scriptures say your "proper Christian response should be". The proper response is leave everyone who isn't a member of your faith the fuck alone.Unfortunately, that seems to not be the way a number of y'all want to play it, so you're going to get my scorn and derision until you realize that you don't get the right to harass people for their sexuality or any other sin.
So much so that you can not even acknoweledge that a proper biblical response from a Christian should follow what you yourself have more or less outlined. But rather than be on side, you drag out the stereotype that all Christians are hate mongers, and assign that picture to all of Christianity and begin to argue strawmen of your own design, rather than speak to what I have said.
This makes you the worst type of hypocrite. One who openly uses bigotry and hate to try and offset the bigotry and hate that you yourself whip up. Hitler did this against the Jews. He like you took what a very small number of Jews were doing and applied it to every man woman and child of that race, despite what they really thought or believed. Because he like you Didn't care what actually going on. he saw an opportunity to persecute, and he took it.
So good job "thinker." I guess your going to count this as another 'win?'
