Christians Endorse God's Hatred

[Ryantology]

Throwing around epithates like "homophobe" is why it is difficult to have a reasonable conversation about the issue. Having a sexual orientation is not in itself a perversion. I never said it was. People have all kinds of temptations to which they are susceptible, not all of which have anything to do with sexuality. Some people are tempted by members of their own sex. Others have adulterous desires towards the opposite sex. It is the act and not the desire that is a perversion.

It was never possible to have a reasonable conversation about the issue with someone who uses a book of fairy tales to justify discrimination against other people.

I have stated multiple times on this thread that I do not care what people do privately, homosexually or otherwise. I have also clearly stated my position regarding marriage, that its religious and civil functions should be separated in such a way that all partnerships, regardless of composition, would have the same privileges and responsibilities. In case it was not clear enough for your little mind, I will be even more specific. All partnerships, regardless of gender identity, would, for political purposes, would be considered secular civil unions. The term marriage would be reserved for private sacramental commitments. For the religious, that is an extra layer of commitment. That approach would give gays equal rights and still preserve the sacred meaning that marriage has for Christians and other believers.

You would support equality in some alternate universe where marriage was not a legally-binding contract recognized by the government, but since that's how it is here, you just can't do it because Jesus.

Your stated position doesn't reflect the reality of the situation and is, therefore, stinks of a convenient copout.

I would not be antagonistic towards Christianity if it wasn't designed to be a tool for people to justify their various hatreds, if Christians concerned themselves with loving thy neighbor instead of looking for every possible reason not to, but it is what it is.
