"The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us..." should we be grateful?

Well that's good. I assumed he was implying as much when he talked about Christians saying gay people are vile. My apologies.

You're being very sly here.

You know full well what he means but are insistant on playing dumb, just like you did with that video I posted. Christians do say gay people are vile. Christians do promote many barbaric views. Just because you see yourself as one of the ones who cherry picks the nice bits about their faith, doesn't mean your faith is all roses and chocolate. To come back to the video I posted, the point of it is that it's not the peaceful, free loving majority that are the (main) problem. It's the rare few, who do hold the 'extreme' views that are the ones who go out doing fucked up things.

But here's what you keep ignoring. It's people like you, who bury their head in the sand and pretend everything about their religion is loving and peaceful, that are enablers for all those other fucks to do wrong. The bottom line is your religion, and the catholic church especially, are responsible for god awful atrocities, that are still going on today. And you simply saying "not every christian" is irrelevant.

I really don't know what you wanted to insinuate to me with that video, or how it countered anything I said.

Again, you are mass generalizing a group that consists of 2.5 billion people. It's like saying "Men rape women. Men do barbaric things." Well, yeah... some of them. Few of them. But that is still a rash generalization of all men.

And I'm not picking anything about my faith. This is what my faith teaches about gay people themselves and how to treat them:

"They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided." -CCC

Nothing in there about them being vile. If a Catholic thinks gays are vile, that is their own mind. Not Catholic teaching.
