You don't know how Christianity directly contradicts evolution and biology?

Go read your Bible and report back, scrub.

Would maybe take you seriously if you cared about all the private property destroyed by "protests" or the massive amount of property theft and destruction happening daily in NOLA.

I lived in Dallas for many years. Whenever they held the annual Pride parade down near Lovers Lane area it used to snarl traffic and create a giant mess. But it never really bothered me because they generally just kept to themselves.

Now that they're pushing this disgusting trans agenda on kids and infiltrating schools, churches, etc they've officially crossed the line and I am pretty much at a hate level with the entire group.

See that's the problem. They sold they big lie that they just wanted to live their lives, marry their partners and be left alone. Seemed reasonable,
right? But once society gave them an inch they took the whole mile. And then came the rest of the freak show.

We should have made them stay in the closet.

Wait, Progressives told me flag burning was a legit form of protest.



True, but you can't steal somebody else's flag and burn it.

Catholicism no problem with evolution or biology. You are ignorant.

Source: I went to Catholic schools until college. I learned all about it.

But don't take my word for it.

quote:

The theory of evolution as a philosophical conception considers the entire history of the cosmos as an harmonious development, brought about by natural laws. This conception is in agreement with the Christian view of the universe. God is the Creator of heaven and earth. If God produced the universe by a single creative act of His will, then its natural development by laws implanted in it by the Creator is to the greater glory of His Divine power and wisdom. St. Thomas says: "The potency of a cause is the greater, the more remote the effects to which it extends." (Summa c. Gent., III, c. lxxvi); and Francisco Suárez: " God does not interfere directly with the natural order, where secondary causes suffice to produce the intended effect" (De opere sex dierum, II, c. x, n. 13). In the light of this principle of the Christian interpretation of nature, the history of the animal and vegetable kingdoms on our planet is, as it were, a versicle in a volume of a million pages in which the natural development of the cosmos is described, and upon whose title-page is written: "In the beginning God created heaven and earth."

There were 164 structural fires in Minneapolis in March, 2020.

Citizens of this country proudly burn our American flag regularly.

I am in no way defending burning someone else's property. That is objectively terrible. But she needs to look around at the other things that are burning.

It's all childish.

Exactly this. Nobody cares who adults frick in private. But I’m never going to be ok with pushing kids into that lifestyle. And I’m never going to be ok with normalizing the trannie movement. I don’t feel like my stance is extreme.

Looks like they caught a few teenagers tied to this most horrible hate crime.

No charges pressed on teens

Detectives with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office obtained a video that shows teenagers burning the flag while making derogatory remarks, according to a press release.
Cooke said she has not seen the video and does not wish to. When she came out as queer a few years ago, she often felt rejected, but this felt different.
“I think the biggest difference was how pointed and violent it was," Cooke said.
On Tuesday, the St. Tammany Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of three Mandeville teenagers.
The two 15-year-olds and 14-year-olds could face misdemeanors of theft, simple criminal damage to property, and hate crimes. The teens have been released to their guardians with an agreement to appear in court, according to STPSO.
Cooke said she did receive an apology from one teen's grandmother who offered to pay to replace the property.
“I told her if she wanted to, she could make a donation to like a queer organization," Cooke said.
Cooke said she and her roommates are not pressing charges and hope the teens grow from the experience.
“Ultimately, I don’t think it matters if it was kids, teenagers, or grown adults, hate is hate. Since they are teenagers, I hope they’re catching it young enough that their families can say we don’t do that, this isn’t right," Cooke said.
The flag was replaced the same day it was stolen by the Northshore Queer community, Cooke said.
A week later, she marched alongside them in the Pride parade, sending a message that she wouldn't back down.
“We were passing out pride flags like you burned one, here’s 50 more," Cooke said.

You know what, I'm no fan of all this gay shite but this is a mature, unexpected outcome. No histrionics about needing to charge them with a hate crime, just an apology and a lesson taught. Don't destroy other people's property.

This is why PRIDE is important…. People live their life being hated, it is only natural to band together for some sense of personal validation

Try being a white heterosexual male in America in 2024. Everyone hates you and blames you for all their problems.

Agreed.

This is not what I expected from the alphabet people.

I equate the Pride stuff with being the social equivalent to Islam in the religious world….

They wish to Conquer or Kill.

The response in this instance is refreshing.
