You misunderstand. What I said is not hateful, at all. Of course homosexuals exist, just like thieves, murderers, and practitioners of every other sin exist. Everyone acknowledges that. The issue is whether we repent for our sins and do God's will, or take pride in our sins and reject God. Pride itself is a sin (and some say it's the root of all other sins). That makes pride in sin a compound sin. The so-called "pride decorations" in this article are all about pride in sin (specifically the sexual immorality type). While the far-left activists think that's wonderful, and want to call everyone "hateful" and a "bigot" if we disagree, the truth is I expressed neither hatred nor bigotry. I hope we call all come to Christ, and the first step for many is to eliminate all these repugnant "pride decorations".
Can you relax? Having your beliefs is one thing, but equating gay people to thieves and murderers is another. Most people from the time they are born have had their sexual attractions set in stone. Most men are attracted to women and vice versa. It is literally the same way for gay people.
Stop sexualizing children! There is no "gay gene". (Follow the science, or don't you like that idea anymore) Sex is strictly reserved for a grown man and woman who are joined in holy matrimony. Children are not sexual, even slightly, until puberty.
Nobody mentioned children and sexuality in the same sentence until you did.
Quoting @AnakinSandlover from above:
Most people are born with teeth. That doesn’t mean that babies have teeth, nor that kids have adult teeth.
Some people start feeling attraction at a very young age. It may not be sexual but the attraction is there. I'm a straight man and I've literally found girls to be beautiful for as long as I can remember.
You were being influenced by social norms long before you were old enough to form memories, and likewise not being aware of societal expectations does not mean it is not happening or does not have an effect.
No hate so pure as Christian love.
Spoken like an immature child parroting demons. Repent, and ask that you may be shielded from them. The time will come when it's too late.
Hahaha this motherfucker believes in “demons”. What an idiot!
jesus was actually gay and there's proof throughout the new testament.
oh damn i forgot, i also received a divine revelation about it. god was pretty chill about the whole thing.
Jesus also had long hair, a very feminine trait according to the right!
Also for those of you downvoting the comment above me, I am almost certain that it was a joke. Mine however wasn't, just adds to the funni
2 of the downvotes are almost for sure the 2 nazis in the thread. the third is probably just bc it wasn't funny lmao
I don't know if you think I'm a "nazi" — I am most certainly not — but in any case you can see who upvotes and downvotes any comment by going to
more > activity.you have literally done naziism in this very thread. fuck off and rot you murderous piece of shit.
You're part of the reason your religion is dying, and I'm so glad to see it.
God is not real, and even if he was he would be a real asshole that I would have no interest in listening to. Your idea of morality is nonsense and irrelevant, not to mention disgusting. You are a hypocrite, too, rejecting everything that your supposed savior preached.
If Jesus was real, I sure hope he wouldn't love you.
Who's more insecure: you, or your antiquated god with all your weird-ass rules you worship?
God isn’t real, you simpleton.
Our Creator is most certainly verifiably real. What's truly amazing is that you can deny Him, and you can insult me for loving Him, and you can go on behaving like that for years and years, yet He will still love you and He will still be eager to forgive you.
There definitely is a god, and she just spoke to me that you’re an asshole and you’re going to Tartarus when you die.
The only reason you're Christian (or say that you are) is because your parents are/were. Not because it's the Truth.
If there was a real Truth like you think there is, we wouldn't have over a billion Hindus who are also Hindus for no other reason other than THEIR parents were, nearly 2 billion muslims who are muslims for no other reason than THEY are. Etc.
Why should I believe YOUR weird stories are any more real than any of their weird stories? Or believe any of the ancient Greeks who believed to the point of their lives that their weird stories were also true, etc? They all are just as convinced they're right as you, why shouldn't I believe them or anyone else instead?
Even within all the modern Christian sects - let alone all the historical ones - you can't get your stories straight. Why should I believe any one of them over another?
