Gay, Catholic and Doing Fine

[KevinM1]

In addition to child molestation issues, the Protestant clergy also has problems with divorce and adultery that the Catholic priesthood does not have for obvious reasons.

Implying that divorce and adultery are even on the same plane as child molestation... your Catholic church, ladies and gentleman!

I'm not going to play games with you. "Be celibate or your sinful lifestyle will put you in hell," which is what you explicitly acknowledge in your second sentence to be the case, is forcing celibacy on people based on a threat.

Regardless, I love how you, true to the dodgeball tactics of christians everywhere looking to avoid accountability, took one sentence out of my long response to reply to and ignored everything else. You're not going to be able to distract from the bulk of my criticisms by faux-answering one of them.

It was the only sentence I thought needed a response.

There are lots of lifestyles that could put one in hell forever. The LGBTQ lifestyle is just one of them.

Now you know.

You don't find the idea that being attracted to the same sex is grounds for eternal pain and torture in hell utterly absurd? Can't you think for yourself for one second?

[athrock]

Of course. Like scientists are still relying on some of the laws of physics and mathematics and chemistry that were laid down long ago. Duh.


Okay, so Stalin evolved to kill millions of his own people without giving it a second thought. That was just "survival of the fittest".

Knock it off, "atheist" does not equal dictator. GROW UP.

Grow up? This from a guy who continues to refer to the Bible as a comic book?

We already did this ad nauseam over in the "pop-morality" thread.  Your book is full of atrocities against humanity sanctioned by your God, and no, crying "free will" doesn't cut it.  I'll wipe my ass with your hateful book, how is that for moral?  

You're "free" to do as you please.

NO we are not. We are perfectly capable of obeying the law, and we are perfectly capable of compassion. I don't physically harm others or rape or steal because I have empathy for my fellow human. I do not however value your demonizing atheists because of your own childish insecurities that we exist. TOO BAD.

No we are not free to do what we want. We are only free from swallowing your bad logic, but as far as law no.

[athrock]

Wouldn't it be great if God just let you have your own way all the time?

Pretending he doesn't exist accomplishes that for you except that like the author of the article in the OP, you know you're just lying to yourself.

(And knowing this really, really pisses you off.)

Were you dropped on your fucking head or something as a child?  Or were your parents by chance brother and sister?

Yep comic book. Men magically popping out of dirt, women magically popping out of a man's rib, talking snakes, talking donkeys, talking bushes, treats the sun and moon as separate sources of light. Claims babies can be born without a second set of DNA and have magic super powers, and a death story that would have us believe you can have all the blood drained out of your body, suffer brain death, have all your organs die, suffer the stages of rigor mortis, then magically come back to life.

YEP a comic book, just like Superman vs Lex Luther. Immature is thinking an unscientific book explains anything.

Implying that I implied this is...Kevin, ladies and gentlemen.

We can be attracted to lots of things that are not good for us.

Some of them are more serious than others.

And why do you presume that I am not thinking for myself?

Implying that I implied this is...Kevin, ladies and gentlemen.

Considering you put it in the same sentence....

Um...Brian? She's free to do what ever she wants with her own toilet paper.

That's all I said.
