a) Except that I DON'T disregard what he taught

b) Do you REALLY want to get into a who's-smarter contest here?

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

yes you do. And that can no doubt be proven. You have several time already.

Sure, what did you have in mind?

I am thoroughly underwhelmed by you.

You claim that posting replies to your posts is pointless, because you don't read them.
And then you post this...

I don't have a problem with all Christians.
I have a problem with some Christians who go out of their way to attack homosexuals in a variety of ways. They are not "all" Christians. Moreover, they don't even make up a majority...

I disagree with the Christian beliefs, and find it contradictory, but if saying homosexuality is immoral is not bashing homosexuality, then I don't see how me saying that Christianity is not believable is bashing.

You still haven't shown me bashing all Christians....

Saying homosexuality is immoral is repeating what the Bible teaches. How can you blame Christians for standing by the Bible? Or try to twist truth by describing it as "bashing"?

Then again the Bible teaches that we have "all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God". So you could just as easily say that Christianity is "bashing" everybody.

The difference is that Christians should be prepared to admit they have sinned and repent.

Whereas you and others seem to be proud of your homosexual immorality and unrepentant.

1) Christians are responsible for their actions, including standing by the Bible.
2) I never described it as "bashing".
If you could look back over the CONTEXT of the discussion, you could have gotten that...

Do you think that it is any different for non-Christians?

I see no reason to be ashamed for being homosexual.
And there is nothing for me to repent for, considering I do not share that belief...

Your religion has no nothing to do with the lives and conduct of other law abiding CITIZENS that do not share your beliefs. Furthermore, Xians hold no monopoly on what is or is not moral.

...........

Yes you did
..

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes in the sense that non-Christians obviously feel no compulsion to follow Christian doctrine and the Bible



I see no reason to be ashamed for being homosexual.

This is not about your beliefs, it's about the beliefs of Christians and whether they are "bashing homosexuals" or trying to follow Christian doctrine.

If you could look back over the CONTEXT of the discussion, you could have got (NOT "gotten") that.
