"Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham
RE: "Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham
(July 15, 2018 at 2:45 pm)Cecelia Wrote: Personally, I'm against Christians redefining the word 'love'.  Yet they constantly insist on doing it.  Saying that they LOVE gay people, despite calling them 'homosexuals' when that's not what they want to be called.  Despite saying they don't want them to have the right to get married.  Saying that it's God's love that will cause them to burn in hell.  If Christians can redefine love, then we get to redefine whatever we want to and they don't get to bitch and moan about it.

Again, and not just with Christians, but worldwide, every nation in antiquity was ruled by a ruling family, so the religions worldwide of antiquity reflected the beliefs of the local rulers. It has only been recently in the west that minorities like blacks and women and gays have gained rights. 

Not even Japan or China have allowed for same sex marriage, although one prefecture(local) in Japan has. But even Japan has a male dominated government as does China. 

But what Steve and RR don't get is I don't care which nation or which religion discriminates against gays, or any other minority. If your fellow human is not hurting you physically, it does not matter what you personally think. In the west we value pluralism and tolerance. 

I am certainly going to be blunt to bigotry. If one interprets their religion as to deny rights to others, I could give a shit less which one they are justifying it with.

I’m not the boss, and I’m not asking anyone to submit to me.  I’m also fairly certain, that you are not the boss either, but do seem to bully and have your own bigotry.

Also, it’s not a matter of getting to know them. I’m sure there are some very nice LGBT people. Actually many, and I know a few.  It doesn’t make it not a sin, which goes the same for any other sexual immorality, or sin.  It’s not a matter of fear or hate, or feeling icky... or anything else you try to make up.

More watered down bigotry.

Please stop, you are simply digging yourself in deeper.
