Homosexual Liberal Atheists ~ What's UP with that?

[wavydaby 1]

Actually, I thought the person who started this thread was banned last year in the "dark time" for not nice posting

And movie quotes are kinda cool.

Just like cheese.

I think some people just plain become uncomfortable when being faced with their own behaviors. Even if someone else writes something that they typically say, they will jump in and make the moment easier by changing the subject.

No, it's not about being uncomfortable. My attempt to change the topic was in fact an effort to prevent many of the liberals on this forum from taking the bait, which is so obviously and intentionally inflammatory. How anyone could take the original post seriously is beyond me.

I myself am so conservative I make W look like a liberal. However, I am not Christian. As an agnostic American citizen, I find it disturbing that conservative Christians are regularly accused of hatred when their religious beliefs do not agree with those of liberals. Many Christians believe homosexuality is a sin and that is their right. Failing to condone a behavior is not the same as condemning the person. And I find it even more disturbing that thanks to our left-wing media, every member of our society is being forced into political correctness. So much for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It is odd how liberals accuse conservative Christians of being intolerant, and yet liberals are so incredibly intolerant of conservative Christians.

Another good one from Forrest Gump.

I am also of the understanding from the reading that to base faith on the Bible and then be gay is an oxymoron.

Either I don't understand what you are trying to say, or you don't understand what an oxymoron is.

Do you mean that being gay is contrary to the Bible?

What a rotten thing to say about Liberals...... LOL.

Lots of Liberals are conservative in their religious beliefs. Myself, for one.

In what way do you define your liberalism?

Who took the original post seriously? Nobody I saw. You give yourself far too much credit for fixing something that wasn't broken.

That didn't happen either. Are you familiar with a straw man concept?

I find it insulting to gays everywhere when some Christians make a comment that gays are human too and they are loved too. And they hate the sin and love the sinner. Do they say that about others? Like their fellow Christians? Those who cheat on their spouse? Those who are a priest and rape little children? Those who steal from others? Nooooo, they typically feel the need to impress upon others that GAYS are people too. Is it really necessary to remind others of that? The rest of us KNOW that.

The poster in question proved my point beautifully! I couldn't have planned it to work out better. When I changed the word from "gay" to "Christian" and used their own words against them the first words out of the keyboard was that s/he was not gay. When you use some Christian's words against them they don't even recognize their own words!

Instead of, "...gays are people too..." blah blah blah and "...love the sinner and hate the sin..." When I changed it to, "Christians are people too..." blah blah blah and "I hate your sins," suddenly they don't recognize the words. (as demonstrated)

Why is it that some feel the need to remind others that gays are human but there is little need to remind anyone that Christians are human?

I find that line of speaking to be most insulting to gay people. Before you say that isn't what was intended, go read it for yourself. The person spelled it out for everyone to see.

Many Christians believe homosexuality is a sin and that is their right.

Agreed. That does not give them the right to assume others need to be reminded that gays are human beings. It's insulting.

Failing to condone a behavior is not the same as condemning the person.

Agreed, but since when it is the job of ANY Christian to condone the bedroom behavior of another because their religion says something is wrong? We have standards in this country and Christians have to follow that as well. ALL Christians, even the blind Christians.

If you mean the political correctness of minding your own business about what goes on in my home, yes the Christians should learn to be politically correct.

The US Constitution gives all citizens equal rights.

If TOM loves Tina and If Tina loves TOM and they are at least 18, TOM & Tina can marry.

If Tim loves Harry and If Harry loves Tim and they are at least 18, Tim & Harry can not marry.

If Susan loves Betty and If Betty loves Susan and they are at least 18, Betty & Susan can not marry.

Therefor Tim and Harry, and Betty and Susan are not equal to TOM and Tina as the US Constitution guarantees.

It does not matter what the Bible says or how Christians feel about it. And BuSh and the Republicans know it. That's why they are trying to pass a Constitutional amendment against same-gender marriage.

Just have to say - one of my all-time favorites. I refer to that quote often.

This is the first thread I've seen on this forum that functions simultaneously in two parallel universes. I just can't get the Twilight Zone theme out of my head!

[wavydaby 1]

I happens quite often. Sometime I hear the Twilight Zone music and Jaws at the sametime.

Oh.. and here's another one:

"Well, at least I had mine removed under general anethesia."

In what way do you define your liberalism?

I am a Democrat, and therefore politically liberal. I am in favor of individual freedom, equal rights, social justice, and environmental responsibility. I support gay marriage, although my Christian church does not.

There are many other individual issues on which I hold a generally liberal position, although I do not necessarily support every plank in the Democratic platform (abortion on demand being one of them).

I would love to write a whole thesis on the evils of conservative government, but my DH and I are departing in about 20 minutes for a little road trip. We heard a rumor that the casinos in Shreveport are having trouble meeting their payroll, so being good neighbors (we live in Texas) and good Democrats, we decided to drive over and make a contribution.

Just another reason to love you! A Christian who loves everyone, despite what others may feel is a sin! I find it sad that to many that is a novelty!

Wheet: I don't know. What movie did that come from?
