You're saying that some LGBT people are mentally ill and some aren't? I'm not talking about whether or not they individually have a mental illness, it sounded like what you were saying was that being gay lesbian bisexual or transgender is a mental illness. That's what it sounded like you were saying. I'm being an intellectually dishonest lefty? Correct me if I'm wrong but what you said was that I can't disprove that LGBT people aren't mentally ill, which clearly insinuates that you think that being lesbian gay bisexual or transgender is a mental illness. Plus, to add to my suspicion, you show no sympathy towards the issue at all, you come off as defending the right wing side, which fyi is anti homosexual.
By the way, if people misinterpret the bible all the time then that's just further proof that it's not a reliable source of morality. So you can be an apologetic about it all you want, but the point is it's just fairy tales and people can get some good messages out of it, but also use it to further whatever agenda they have by taking what the bible or koran says "out of context". It really doesn't matter to argue those points, because the world would be a better place without these fucking millennium old books still governing people's lives. It's psychotic.
"No, 'smarty.'" "Are you still in high school? If so I can turn down the 'complexity' of what I am saying so as not to lose you." "Seriously? Do you truly not understand that your 'reality' is NOT what the universe revolves around?" Why do I feel like I'm arguing with a condescending jackass. Have my eyes deceived me?
It's funny how you make the whole reality is subjective argument for my views being wrong. You even said that today's cultural view of what is a mental illness could change next decade, so you're just confirming my own statement that it's totally arbitrary. It's true that in some cultures the views of what constitutes reality is different, I think in Uganda someone was put in a mental asylum for being an atheist. I've also seen the word "leftist propaganda" come out of you enough times, in regards to LGBT people to know that you're homophobic, dude. Just admit it. It's funny how you're even trying to argue with me about this stuff because to me, because I disagree with pretty much everything you say. When we don't see eye to eye on something you decide to start acting like a sanctimonious prick. Maybe I'm guilty of that a little bit too, but we're never going to agree on this.
