Those Against Homosexuality Are Not Bigots

I thought you said you was done with me.

 

First place it's not just me. Second I'm 19. And third you're assuming that they are going back into a closet. Maybe their lifestyle now is the closet. Is someone who is suffering from paranoia who is free to express himself that way is truly free? Would trying to get him to stop being paranoid would be putting them in a closet?

I have friends that I strongly disagree on some issues with if that's what you're saying.

 

Nope. I'm the real deal. Any opinions I share are what I hold to be true. However I am willing to change if my opinions are proved to be false.

 

Whether it is or isn't that doesn't prevent me from speaking my opinion on it. In fact this entire thread wasn't even about addressing homosexuality. It was about how those who speak against it aren't bigots.

 

How can you prove an opinion to be false?

In my opinion it's good to see that you are willing to change your opinion. Hopefully you end up in a state in which you, and everyone you meet will feel like brothers and sisters, with you and each other.

 

oh I still find you exquisitely hilarious and will laugh at you and your opinions every time I have the opportunity.

 

Most of us choose to call such people bigots because that's the way we see it, and there's nothing you can do about it except say that you have a different opinion, which you have already done several times.

Not likely, as long as he's getting indoctrination regularly from a conservative church, where tolerance is viewed as weakness or laziness.

 

Bigotry is displayed by virtue of the fact that anyone would find it on their agenda to "speak against homosexuality".

Try "Live And Let It Live". It's a very liberating thing to do for your worried mind.

 

I was using your line of questioning to show how silly it is. The obvious answer to both questions is no. I don't believe everything on the Internet and I'm pretty sure you don't believe everything on CNN.

Then prove it to be false.

Again, prove it to be false.

I was referring to those with your point of view giving links. Although I did included you in that group because its kinda hard to tell who's talking.

Actually there is very few things that are proven, however I can give evidence that a certain religious book is correct or at the least not proven to be false.

Thanks for the advice. I do think for myself. For example my parents are not on the same page with me on gun rights.

 

Easy. If you believe in a flat earth for example then I can prove that false. I brought that up because I'm in two flat earth forums. I argue against flat earth.

That'll only happen if everybody agrees with me.

 

Isn't that the very definition of troll?

 

There's a difference between tolorance and acceptance. I can tolorate someone of a different opinion, religion, or lifestyle. That doesn't mean I accept their opinion, religion, or lifestyle.

 

You are getting opinions and beliefs mixed up. They are two different things.

 

Then are those that speak against smoking are bigots too?

I'm a very happy go lucky guy and I tend to myself in public. However when this topic is brought up then I have the right to express my views.

 

What is the difference?

 

there is a difference between the two.
acceptance denotes that you would acknowledge that you are on equal footing with the other person.
tolerating denotes that you feel superior to the other person and are just "dealing with them".

trust me, you have not shown anything here at all that would afford you a position of condescension.

 

Try using the Multiquote button. That's a better way to keep things straight.

I knew that was just a matter of time. Put it in the Christianity section, please.

You can't find anything better to do with your time? Are those people for real?

You're the one who came here to stir up shit.

 

Yes, you do!

 

Nice, um... flag.

 

Unfortunately, its the militants movements can't accept the right of us, the majority.

And thats one reason why the militants have lost the debate even before its begun.

There's also some rather perculiar comments above here about the extent so called "sexual freedoms" should be allowed.
(That one is usually dodged in the debates...)

Homosexuals and those who claim "gender confusion" are actually being USED by other groups. But they are too blind and obsessed to see or admit it.

The militants movements are against Christianity, against the West's founding and fundamental values.
All too often they are against the rights of families, and of children. And they are also against scientific fact, as expressed by institutions and publications of World renown.
Its very sad when the most moderate of Christians, scientists, American states, individual European countries, employees and those in the public eye are harrassed and persecuted for expressing what most of us say in private.

Some sections of the media are riddled with this tactic. How "liberal" it is, to ban+persecute the expression of scientific fact or founding Christian tenets.
