Gee, I am so so excited about the sticker Cyb. I'm all ears!


Will that also increase my reputation in the forum?  Huh

No.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Got an example of that? I'm reasonably tolerant.

Quote:who's full of shit pretending you know things you don't

I've researched my positions better than my opponents have. The born gay position was pushed so that gay rights would feel like rights based on skin color to the general public. Twins studies show that position is wrong. When one identical twin is a certain color, the other is two, at or near 100% of the time. When one twin is gay, the other one usually isn't. But, the concordance is higher than the general rate of gays in the population. These are facts. I'm not making things up. Look into it yourself if you like. Most people don't look things up themselves and the MSM mostly ignored these studies, so the born gay concept was an effective persuader.

Quote:and give no fucks about how badly it hurts anyone.

Well, yeah, if you're hurt by the facts, that doesn't really bother me.

I'm not the one who's hurt because I'm not gay, but many people I do care about are gay and I don't like seeing them being oppressed by fucks like you who claim not to be intolerant and bigoted just because you don't like the definitions of those words and have to fall back on bullshit studies by liars like yourself to make yourselves believe you're right. If you were right this would be the prevailing fucking opinion because that's how science works. This is why you fail. It's like climate change; no one likes it but the prevailing opinion in the scientific community is that it's happening and we're contributing to it. Get a fucking clue, wanker.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

What motivated you to employ the term in the way you did?

You mean Commie + Sodomite directed at Minimalist. No apologies.

95% of what he posts is directly offensive to anyone of faith, ex "Blow Jesus out your ass." He calls anyone less than extreme left-wing a "cunt." I consider both indicative of a figurative blood-lust for unrighteousness and expressing totalitarian impulses similar to the actual wickedness of the men of Sodom who attempted to force their perversions (anal/oral gang-rape) onto what other people consider either sacred, noble, or both. I didn't use the word lightly and I intended it to mean exactly what it means.

Both Ast and the Minimalist are more and more an embarrassment for other atheists that are fair and decent sort of people.  Shy

Thanks for explaining it. To be honest, I thought it was a random, directionless exclamation aimed at nobody in particular. I'm sure Min would never have realised it as commentary opinion had I not drawn it out of you.

Well, looking back, it was poor timing on my part since alpha male's post, which was immediately above mine, included a post about trans/gay people. I can see how an impartial observer, like Emjay, could have interpreted my post differently.

Even still I know that many liberal AF members consider any condemnation of fornication, which includes all sexual activity outside the bounds of a heterosexual marriage and includes prohibited sex acts within marriage or with animals, signs of bigotry. Nothing will sway them from that opinion.

Sodomite is simply someone who engages in sodomy, i.e. buttsex, including heterosexuals. I've been repeated told that not all gays enjoy or engage in anal, therefore to be called a sodomite is not a homosexual slur, BY THEIR OWN DEFINITION. And if you want to look at the origin of the word and the actual biblical text, the sins of Sodom extended far beyond attempting to gang rape a couple of angels. BTW it also includes adultery and all other kinds of "uncleanliness" and perverted behaviors.

In that case I misunderstood, and took the word how it's usually employed; as a derogatory remark/generalisation about gay people full stop, anal sex or no, cos most people who use it don't make that distinction. I didn't know who you were talking about when you said that, but reading ahead it seems to be Min... so I jumped to conclusions thinking it was a specifically homosexual slur, since he's not. But it's still a horrible word and slur/generalisation however you use it, extended definition or not, IMO.

Oh, come on, that dickhole knew full well what he was saying. He claims to be better than us, once again trying to throw shade because he's insecure about his own failure as a human being.

I agree. It is a horrible word. He deserves it.
