Do you get so weird enjoyment from annoying me?
1. Are religions for or against LGBT people in their scriptures? And Why?
2. Are you for or against LGBT people if religious scriptures did not mention the subject at all?

If being intellectually honest annoys you, then yes, I enjoy it immensely.

Referencing to what I said before,I acknowledge that not all religious people are homophobic (or whatever term you want to use) as I was referencing to those who are.
Just thought I should state that as well.

I am sorry I should had made it clearer I was in a rush to get to work, for that I am sorry.
Oh I understood it perfectly. What I don't understand or appreciate is that you think I would treat homosexuals different to other non-Christians, and that I specifically hate a set of people.

Go fuck yourself.

But you do, since you don't think they should be allowed to marry.

Nice deflection there lad.

If you don't accord the rights that heterosexuals get to homosexuals then you are treating them differently.

The comment I was referring to was your treatment of gays, not whether you hated them.
