(I'm asking for book chapter and verse) I would also like you to define bigoted for the purpose of this conversation.

Someone else who thought as you did... Adolf Hitler. He saw Christianity and the bible as a hostile message and even deemed it "hostile Christianity" verses "positive Christianity" that both supported hitler and his rule.

Quote:Drich, I hope you wouldn't be such a homophobic bigot if you lost your faith.
I pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that you will lose your faith... if only in hope that you would then stop being such a bigot.
Sure, Christians can believe what they want generally, I don't care... I wouldn't desire them to be an atheist normally so long as it's not harming anyone. I mean it's none of my business.
But when Christians use the Bible to justify bigotry, then those fuckers I really hope lose their faith.
Dritch hopefully one day you realize that "the light" is only blinding you. There almost certainly is no God and you don't need Him to live a worthwhile life. Imagine not needing to worry about that shit anymore? Not having to care what God thinks? And not because you're turned to the dark side - but because you can feel confident that the atheist position is correct and don't have to worry anymore about stupid shit like "sin" and pleasing God. Life really is just enough without that shit.
Oh, the hypocrisy of modern douche baggery!
So let me get this straight.. You said the bible is bigoted and its message is harmful (as hitler did) you then say you don't care what Christians think so long at it does not harm people, unless what is thought comes from the bible, then it is your wish that our lives fall into calamity so as to make us loose faith in everything we believe, just so we can agree with you on this one social issue?
Do me a favor sport define Bigot for me.
Also I'd like to ask what have I said here that causes harm to homosexuals?
Lastly I'd like to ask if you know the difference between a disagreement on a social issue and hatred? You do know it is possible to disagree with people and not hate them correct?
To me hate is passifing or justifying someone when what they are doing is going to cause them long term harm, rather than confronting someone (who is seeking the truth) about their sin.
Again to do this is an act of brotherly love, not hate.
