18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Go for it.
I gave a scripture-based answer to a direct question. Since this is the Christianity sub-forum, I think I really ought to be allowed to explain my faith using my scriptures. The question and answer related to the Christian worldview.
Now, if you would rather just ban me rather than see the word of God posted in your forum, knock yourself out.
But your heavy-handedness in this regard gives the appearance that you are afraid of being confronted by the truth of God's Word. If God does not exist, then meaningless Bible verses shouldn't trouble you in the least. But they do, don't they?
And be honest, if I were an atheist, you wouldn't give a damn what I posted as long as it fit your personal belief system.
So, either I defend my faith my way, or you can ban me and go back to telling yourselves that you really showed another Christian what for.
I'm happy either way.

It's so bad in the US that religious circus freaks get to parade around with smug arrogance when defending the absurdity of their magical sky daddy (under the impression that reading their buybull makes them qualified shrinks). You people deserve no deference, and religion should be mocked for its affront to rationality and intellectualism at every opportunity. If doctors had churches, we'd still be doing blood transfusions with leeches.
No gods, no masters, brick by brick, wall by wall, we will make your bullshit fall
Heh...after you eliminate all the Christians, you will have to deal with the Muslims.
And dude, they do NOT turn the other cheek. Good luck with that.
