Grahame Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'll try again - is there a passage or passages in the bible which tells people to stone gay people to death? yes or no Also murder may be illegal as you rightly said but being gay in this country is not and this is accepted by the churches, do you think you are above the law and the church in condemning gay people? Not in the Christian Bible no. I don't condemn gay people heterosexuals are just as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I don't condemn gay people heterosexuals are just as bad. Lol, you don't understand what you're saying do you? In that sentence, you say you don't condemn gay people, you then proceed to condemn them as being bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFKvsNixon Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 It's you who doesn't understand what I'm saying. I'll paraphrase what you said. So what you trying to say is that straight people can be as bad as gay people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really won't understand what you're trying to point out to him, it's the same when he talks about "The Jews". It's got me thinking though, when someone doesn't realise that what they're saying is offensive (no matter how much you try to explain it to them) are they a bigot? If they do not INTENT to offend?

RootsBooster Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 People just say they are Christians probably because they live in a Christian country. Muslims call westerners Christians and as you know not many are. I don't anyone who says they are a christian. No matter where they live. Other than the few I've met in text on here.

Maybe the counter argument may be, is someone really a bigot if they only say something to offend, and they don't really hold those views? For me it's the link between ignorance and bigotry that's important, I genuinely believe that as a rule humans aren't bad people, and it's ignorance that leads to bigotry and intolerance.

JFKvsNixon Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 yes....... So why highlight the negative, why not say that straight people can be as good as gay people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 So why highlight the negative, why not say that straight people can be as good as gay people? Because I don't think sex in the way not intended by nature is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
