Comparing someone who's gay to bestiality? Classic

Why speak in ignorance? I 100% believe you have no idea of the history. Not even the US History of it!

quote:

I think most are speaking of the people who scream "small government" but still want that government to keep gays from having the same marriage rights.

---

I was right

quote:

---

But I fully expect you, hunter, to thump your bible every time an athlete has sex outside of marriage. I don't expect to see you condone it in any way, even by making light of it.

Feel free to search my posts celebrating the above. Or show me a press conference where an athlete is announcing his conquests publicly.

quote:

I am very tolerant of the bigots on here

You should be. you've shown yourself to be a rather large one.

quote:

---

You want to hate on someone because of their sex?

---

I haven't done so.

quote:

---

You want to hate on someone because of their skin color?

---

I haven't done so.

quote:

---

You want to hate on someone because of their sexual preference?

---

Not accepting the behavior doesn't equate to hating the person.

quote:

---

I'm actually very tolerant of people's rights to believe whatever they want.

---

Your words show the complete opposite.

quote:

But here's, my question: If people are born with a strong attraction to the same sex (on a sliding scale, not black and white), then wouldn't the same apply to people who have a major attraction to children or animals? Wouldn't they have been born that way? If so, shouldn't we not put these people in prison and give them the choice of medical castration?

---

A pedophile who acts on his or her urges to engage in sexual relations with children is victimizing a child who cannot consent to sexual behavior. The cause of the perpetrator's motive is irrelevant.

Likewise, a psychopathic killer could arguably be said to be predisposed to a life of violence, but we don't let them run free after they've victimized people.

I also don't see how this relates to homosexuality. You said yourself that homosexuals in relationships with each other are acting among consenting adults, so no crimes are committed.

quote:

---

Your argument would excuse and make people bigots for having a problem with adulterers, because someone couldn't change how they felt about having sex with someone out of wedlock.

---

Yep.

I'm not married. I have sex. I have no problem whatsoever and I find it annoying that anyone else would have a problem with that. Toss me in the lake of fire if you must, but IDGAF.

quote:

---

The science of what? The whole history of what?

---

The history of the homosexual movement here in the US.

The Science that now suggest that the body makes a mistake that results in a person with homosexual tendencies.

The current push. You, DC really do not know...

quote:

---

Everyone makes a decision to act or not act on feelings or impulses.

And this is an asinine statement.

You don't mind people being gay, but you just don't want them doing gay things?

You won't get anywhere with people like you are arguing with.

quote:

Romans 1 isn't about homosexuality, bro. It's about pagan idolatry and temple sex rituals. You're the one guilty of taking it out of context.

The Corinthians verse you cited was a translation error. There was no literal translation for the Greek word Arsenokoites. It wasn't even a widely used word at the time of its writing.

The Timothy verse only refers to perverts. Doesn't say anything about homosexuality.

So try again.

---

I don't know why I'm responding, as you're going to just demean me and speak condescendingly, but here goes:

Romans 1 mentions female homosexuality. read again "bro."

Corinthians acknowledges former homosexuals in the church. It ends with an uplifting mesasge of hope and goodness in God. Greek ????? / ??s?? [arrhen / arsen] means "male", and ???t?? [koiten] "bed," with a sexual connotation. Most scholars still believe Arsenokoites refer to homosexuals. However, I'll admit that there is some controversy around the use here.

Timothy depends on your interpretation. I believe it is talking about homosexuality.

Also, I can't believe I left this one out:

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female....(Matthew 19:1-8)

quote:

---

You don't mind people being gay

it's their deal not mine.

quote:

---

but you just don't want them doing gay things

---

I said, I shouldn't be forced to celebrate or accept it. It's unfortunate, your biases and intolerance and hate can't see the difference.

quote:

---

My point really is that some forms of intolerance are acceptable, yes. The fact that we have any laws at all tell us we are all intolerant of certain actions

---

No, your point is you can be intolerant to my stance and I have to be tolerant to yours.
