OK, your thinking skills may be deficient but you have a colorful memory. You just keep on believing that. Keep watching Pat Robertson's 700 Club thinking you're getting news and information.
Actually, I don't watch the 700 club. I found the video on youtube, and it doesn't matter one iota who produced it. It must be accepted or rejected on the grounds of the mans testimony. What is deficient is your reasoning; this is just your excuse for intellectual cowardice.
You bringing up my beliefs to justify yours (beyond the fact that there's a chasm of difference between a belief in a First Cause and a belief in the Bible, with all the baggage that comes with it but that's a lengthy discussion point I've explored in my Deism vs. Christianity thread) was a red herring and ad hominem tu quoque.
I don't need your beliefs to justify mine, and whatever the chasm of difference is, you believe God is real and has a mind. I pointed out the hypocripsy of thinking an impersonal God is really quite wonderful..but if He turns out to be personal, you hate His guts. Same Universe, same circumstances, but two very schitzophrenic views on reality. You can marvel at a dead beat dad who leaves you to rot, but you hate one that is personally interested in you, and wants to give you eternal life.
Exactly. I asked YOU why love is evil when the body parts are similar and you pulled out your Bible and hid behind your god.
Let me be blunt, so even a brainwashed moron like you might understand, I don't give a shit what your imaginary, spoiled, tantrum throwing, blood thirsty, egomaniacal god says. I'm asking you to THINK and EXPLAIN to me why same gender love is evil.
Try it. Explain something without hiding behind the Bible. It's called using your brain. Give it a shot.
Again, you're being incredibly obtuse, and you have already proven your intellectual dishonesty by running from our other debate and blaming it on my selection of videos. The way your question is framed, asking why something from a Christian standpoint is *evil*, implicates God as a moral authority and requires a biblical explanation. Asking why I think it is wrong, personally, is a entirely different question. If you can construct a coherent question without the use of Ad Homs, I'll be inclined to answer you.
