Christianity; the World's Most Violently Persecuted Religion

[Angrboda]

That's nice.



It matters with regards to whether the proposition that the deity described by the bible and Christianity condemns the acts, regardless of sexual orientation or not, regardless of whether any such deity actually exists.

This is an example of moving the goalposts -- recasting a simple question about a proposition and its logical inputs into a question about what matters existentially.

Nope, it is a false equivalence your using, being gay, and having gay sex are not exactly the same thing of course, but to condemn people for having gay sex equates to condemning them for being gay. 

Which things am I asserting are equivalent, in your eyes?

The condemnations of homosexuality in the bible are immoral to me, whether a deity exists or not of course. However to say "only god's opinion matters, and all else is moot" then claim that deity's existence is not relevant, is what I would describe as moving the goal posts. 

Well, in the first place, your paraphrase of my words is inaccurate, as I made clear that god's opinion is the only one that matters wrt the question at hand, which by necessity entails a hypothetical. We can't constantly be interrupting literature class to obnoxiously mutter about how Huck Finn was a fictional character, so he didn't actually have any motivation for his acts. That's just being a Philistine.

Regardless, where did I move the goalposts from, and where did I move them to?

I am an atheist, it's a given I don't believe those condemnations or anything in the bible is the opinion of any deity.

Okay.
