You want to start with the homophobia or sexism or just look at the stupid shite?
Look. We're long past humoring this same ol' tired "But...I'm a Victim!" game. We're not playing by the usual asinine rules of engagement debate that NOBODY agreed were legit or honest. It's just more red herring irrelevance.
Simple question: Why can't you just LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE? What don't you understand about NOT being obtrusiveness? Or NOT shutting down your constant exhibitionism and imposition of personal perverted fetish displays in public? What happened to caring only what you do behind closed doors? Demonstrate some self-control and discipline. You're an adult. KEEP IT THERE WHERE IT BELONGS.

Anyways, let me know when your god cures an amputee...
Sure. Just as soon as you or your "GF" take personal responsibility for decapitating your own Little Head. THAT'S NOT "God's Fault", is it?
You don't seem to know much about God or the Bible other than what nonsense is parroted online. Do you know anything about The Fall of Man? (Yes, Adam and Eve). Afterward, Man became condemned to struggle in this mortal life.
OUR God promised no "cures" or "Heaven-on-Earth in this Fallen World (the Perfect World YOUR "god" Satan runs, btw).
Moreover, suffering isn't the only tough condition we must endure in this mortal coil; it is also written (Hebrews 9:27):
"And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment." Yes, so we will ALL die as well. (some of us, just the one time. Others...well, the Second Death is FOREVER -- whether you believe it or not.)
But...there IS the Good News for those who endure and are faithful. OUR God made a promise; ALL who concede they are sinners, are truly repentant, and accept the Gospel and Jesus Christ as their Savior shall be loved, healed and rewarded in His presence FOREVER IN HIS KINGDOM. (NOTE: THIS world is not God's Kingdom; this is the domain of Satan -- even Jesus Himself concedes this.)
What reward can the faithful expect after the First Death in the NEXT life?
quote:
"And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more nor mourning nor crying nor pain; they will be no more, because the former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4)
What else has God promised to The Faithful? (And this is AMAZING!):
quote:
"But as it has been written: "What no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and has not entered into heart of man, what God has prepared for those loving Him."
Take you most joyous moment in this life...and multiply it by a gazillion. And MAYBE that is what God meant by the place He "prepared" for Believers.
So...What happens to the scoffers and mockers of God like you (if you don't eventually have a change of heart & spirit?):
God is clear:
quote:
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8
Bronc, I sincerely don't wish this eternal fate on you, other pro-Rainbow posters, nor anybody else. You are still alive with the opportunity to battle for your own soul. I I hope you and others will eventually open your heart and unshackle yourself from the bondage of The Liar and god of this world -- Satan and his demon minions. He attacks all of us spiritually -- yes, even Christians.
We ALL must bear responsibility for making our own choices. We are also ALL sinners -- no one can keep on sinning as a practice OR corrupting others (especially children) into doing so.
How generous is God? Up to our last dying breath He will forgive those who are truly repentant and call on the name of Jesus Christ. At that last second His invitation into His Kingdom that is open to share in; and with it, a preparatory feast and experience of indescribable joy and exaltation God has promised:
"What no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and has not entered into heart of man, what God has prepared for those loving Him."

I'm not even going to try and unpack that homophobic and fundamentalist dribble.
Let me know when your Christian god heals some amputees and I'll be right there to convert.
As is, you are selectively interpreting and emphasizing out of a dated 2000 year old man-made book of contemporaneous mythologies and dated ideas to justify vilifying and promoting hatred and suppression of gay people for simply existing, being themselves, or expressing the sort of light intimacy any straight couple is allowed the societal freedom to have.
Which goes beyond simply not wearing a badge or whatever this thread was originally about

God lord, what are you talking about?
The dude has been going on some awfully weird tangents that somehow, supposedly indict and convict Almighty God Himself -- no matter how trivial. Is he/she trying to convince himself or others that the God of The Bible is evil? (what's that make Satan and demons?)
quote:
Yhe world would be a vastly more safe, less difficult and pleasant place if more people followed the Ten Commandments.
Without a doubt...
But notice that only in the Land-of-Woke and "Do what thou Wilst" do the mere Ten Commandments and guidelines of His Righteousness evoke spite, spittle, & anger?
It really is sad.

Whether you believe. convert or never believe/convert only affects YOUR eternal soul -- no one elses. You face The Almighty's Judgement Seat... alone.
So...Are you rejecting God and Jesus Christ because there is suffering in this world? Or because sin (including homosexuality) is a declarative sin that you choose NOT to give up? What's your beef?
Moreover...would you prefer the supernatural healing of your mortal body IN THIS MORTAL WORLD over an Eternity with a new, perfect Heavenly Body, eternal joy and happiness?
Your main crusade -- is it listed?
1) Homosexuality OR Bust (we want the children too!)
2) God = Evil
3) God and His Laws are both Make-Believe
4) Christians talk of "sin" are jamming up my game
5) I can't be gay..because God, Christians, AND The Bible ALL suppress my capability and choice to be as gay as I want

homophobia and anti-gay sentiments
Frankly, why should you be entitled to make anti-Bible, anti-Christian, anti-God remarks -- even hateful remarks -- but no one in your eyes is entitled to make "anti-gay" remarks? Should there be a double standard?
(Can you also be specific as to exactly what defines "homophobia"?)
Last (sincere) question:
For how long have you "known," "YES, I AM GAY."

Absolutely
And if you’ve been paying attention for the past 5+ years, the double standard has to favor the minority

Like I said, you are free to make whatever remarks you want, believe whatever dumb shite you want, assuming you aren't instigating violence.
Where I switch over and take a greater level of issue is when you start trying to use either societal force or leveraging of the state to enforce your desired suppression and/or removal of rights and freedoms, or to impose unequal standards.

Like shite the poster already mentioned, like wishing gay people would be suppressed from doing basic things heterosexual people do in public like holding hands or kissing.
Once that moves over from, this is my personal belief, to, I want society or the state to impose that unequal limitation upon them. That's where the line is crossed for me.
Posted on 6/8/22 at 4:53 pm to Bronc
i don't wish you were suppressed from doing all of that... i just wish you'd do it far away from me

No one is scared of gays. You people choose to engage in a disgusting, perverted and immoral lifestyle and want to have your cake and eat it too because you don't want to have any consequences for your disgusting actions. Keep that nasty shite to yourself. It's not something to be proud of. At all.

It never ceases to amaze me that the majority religion in this country, which controls the levers of power in every branch of government, somehow still has a persecution complex.
You think Christians control the levers of power in every branch of government? Like you’re being for real? Walk me through your logic here. What would lead you to this insanely stupid and completely wrong conclusion?

What civil and human rights do you think I would like to use the state to reverse equal rights on?

And as far as societal force...you can't be that obtuse. Cancel culture.

I guess I’ll just ask again…. what specific human and civil rights do you think I would like to use the state or social pressure to impose new unequal standards on?
I think you are presuming my contention is with the concept of social pressure. Normative boundaries have existed since tribes and communication have existed. We are evolved and raised to establish them. Even an anarchistic project would eventually establish some form of social and normative boundaries within whatever organized mass of humans formed together.
The issue I stated I have is when those tools are weaponized through overwhelming social pressure, or worse, funneled through the state to establish unequal rights based on something like sexual orientation, gender, or race.
Now earlier you said that I was merely getting angry over things in the Bible that are no longer en vogue. But subsequently we have had several posters make it clear the servings they are putting on their plate from the Bible buffet are those that place homosexuals that do not suppress and hide their behavior as a lower class of human. And at least one has all but gone up to the line of saying he’d be ok using those tools to enforce an unequal standard around public behavior. I’ve asked specifically for clarity, and have not gotten an answer.
But as someone that has stated prior they believe in the treat your neighbor as thyself passage, I hope you’d be first to condemn that based on your stated understanding of Christian beliefs. If not, I guess this was all just an exercise in tribalistic gotcha and you never actually believed that shite…
