I love how "progressive" is a bad word to Escobar. I guess being regressive or stagnant is the better option....rather than...you know.....progress. I suppose if you progress, then you can't believe in a fairy tale about floods and apples and magical kingdoms in the clouds and live your life based on rules in some 2000 year old book that has been rewritten 400 times. Funny how being gay is a sin.....but there has been gay people around since before Christianity was ever invented.
Actually it's about 2900 years old because that's when camels were first introduced to that part of the world. Lots of the stories about Abraham, Isaac and those folks include discussions of camels so it's probably around that age.And of course all the stories are based on the old tales about Isis and Osiris and those are around 3200 years old, at least as far as the written records go.Oh and you're dead on about the progressive thing. The neo-Conservatives have demonized progress and moving forward in America as a bad thing so they can keep raping our bank accounts. It's sad that they use organized religion against people like that, but it's the whole reason that the parable about Jesus throwing the money lenders out of the Temple was written in the first place. It's funny, the world's largest religion is based upon a guy who hated organized religion.
Anybody else find it funny that people were completely unable to answer my question? I'll ask one last time. To the people that dislike homosexuality can you tell me in what way has it ruined your life personally? You being annoyed by it doesn't count.
Who has made the claim that homosexuality has ruined their life? The reason nobody is answering this question is because it's ridiculous. Nobody is making this claim.
If it hasn't ruined your life then what is the problem with it?
I've never had a child kidnapped and sold into the sex trade. Are you sure this is the route you wanna go?
^^^^^no better weapon against "a gay" than a Bible. Escobar has a STRICT religious belief that tells him homosexuality is an "abomination" and so to him (even though he will run from his words) homosexuality equates to other abominations like kidnapping and sex trades.
The sad reality is you truly are gay. If you want to make jokes at my expense, feel free. But know that nobody is making a joke when they refer to you as gay. They mean it literally.
wow
Homosexuality is a sin, no doubt about that. Is it equal to kidnapping etc, nobody has made that claim. There are some who believe God looks at sexual sins as more severe than other sins. I don't know if I hold that belief, but it absolutely is a sin. I won't be running away from anything, and it's hilarious that you of all people, the guy who just ignored a very basic question about Christianity five times, is accusing someone of running away from something.
Escobar, God hates a coward .... now look at your two comments in bold right above and then look back at your initial comment in red. Thanks for being the oh so predictable you
A simple minded fool would believe I was comparing the two. You are a simple minded fool, so this isn't surprising. I provided an extreme example to show him how ridiculous his claim is that "if it hasn't ruined your life, it shouldn't be a problem". This was obvious, but only if you aren't a fool.How many have you downed tonight? Seems like a lot.
In Escobar's world, only simple minded fools have good reading comprehension skills.Okay, okay, I'm really leaving this time. No, really. I am.
I have my own personal spiritual beliefs, and I am at peace....it just bothers me to no end when I see people like Escobar try to belittle gay people by labeling them sinners, when he himself lives his life based on a fairy tale. Live and let live. Is that in the bible? It should be.

Do you know anything about the Bible? Are you aware of the fact that God speaks of homosexuality as a sin in the OT, before the rise of Christianity? And progress is only progress if it's for the good of society. Let me ask you, let's pretend everyone was gay. Exactly how long do you think humans would exist for? Another person with a one way mentality when it comes to tolerance. It's perfectly acceptable to mock Christianity, right?

Oh, I wasn't coming down on you, JD. As a life long Christian who tries to love everyone equally, it pains me to no end when I see people use the Word as a weapon to damage others.

Again, how long would humans last in a completely liberal society? A society with a high abortion rate and widespread gay marriage? Does this sound like a healthy, stable, and growing society?

The same part of Leviticus that you're referring to demands the death penalty for the crimes of murder, attacking or cursing a parent, kidnapping, failure to confine a dangerous animal resulting in death, witchcraft and sorcery, sex with an animal, doing work on the Sabbath, incest, adultery, homosexual acts, prostitution by a priest's daughter, blasphemy, false prophecy, perjury in capital cases and false claim of a woman's virginity at the time of marriage.I guess you're **CENSORED**ed.

I'm not labeling them anything, God made that rule, I just don't question it. You hate Christianity because you hate accountability. You want to live your life however you want it without any consequences. Of course, you only believe this because you've been conditioned to, so there's that.

Who am I damaging by defending those who don't want to be forced to shower with gay men? Are you disagreeing that homosexuality is a sin?
God said this and god said that. Did god actually write the bible himself or was it men such as ourselves?

Don't come at me with this bullshit. I promise you I know the bible a million times better than you.
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law — Romans 13:8-10
Go to bed. Don't come back.

So in other words, we're to take the OT and throw it in the trash? What's with your hatred of the Jews?
You hate Christianity because you hate accountability.
No. I hate Christianity because organized religion is complete bullsh!t and it causes much more harm than good. I already know the difference between right and wrong and I don't need to fear a god or hell to make the right decisions in life. I choose to believe in myself and the people around me instead of pretending some mythical being is controlling everything. You think you can do anything you want and then repent and be forgiven....but I lack accountability? Think again.
