Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

So? Just because a couple of serial killers happened to be homosexual doesn't mean anything.
Homosexuals would teach love and acceptance because they know what it is like to be discriminated against. Religious people would likely bring their children up to hate homosexuals, they'd preach intolerance.
Ever wonder why there are so many homophobes in this world? My guess is it comes from the parents.

Homophobia is a made up term to denigrate those that express the natural ickiness of sexual deviation. Why homophobia and not zoophilophobia or pedophilophobia. Since you can feel that there is something wrong with those as well but not "fear" them. Homophobia is a bunch of BS. Homosexuality was just as illegal as pedophilia was legal in this countries' history. "Legal" doesn't mean it's not messed up, just that you won't get arrested for it.

Hmm, so someone could beat up, or even kill, someone simply for being homosexual, and this person is not homophobic? Is this what you mean?

Clearly you are a bigot who discriminates against normal people (ie non-homosexuals).

You said that "At least homosexuals would teach children about love and acceptance - Christians seem to forget that this is what is expected of them"

Yet you want to ignore the fact that homosexuals like Gacy and Dahmer are capable of evil, inhumane behaviour, just like heterosexuals.

You need to re-think your idealistic stereotypes.

People who beat up and kill homosexuals, or anybody for that matter, are clearly deranged and need to be locked up for life.

It's sad that you only seem to care about violence against homosexuals, yet you don't condemn violence per se.

You mention TWO people who are deranged serial killers - so just from those two killers, I am supposed to believe that homosexuals know nothing about tolerance and love?
I never said that homosexuals were not capable of such horrors - but the majority of serial killers were/are heterosexual. That's only logical considering the fact that homosexuals are in the minority. So from this, I take it to mean that heterosexuals are deviant, evil perverted serial killers - right?

I do condemn violence, I never said I condoned it. Although, if someone were to beat up someone who made homophobic remarks, they would have my full support.

What exactly qualifies as a "homophobic remark"?
Quite a wide range of interpretations.

Why wouild you arrive at such an inane conclusion?

You have the critical analysis capabilities of a house brick.
