Gay Rights

What about Kyles's mom?.... ok derailed enough I will stop

 

And I won't hold your beliefs against you. Believe whatever you want, that's okay with me. And I respect your beliefs as you hold them so dear to you. Now, I have my reasons to defend same-sex marriage and other LGBT rights, and I just hope that the church doesn't interfere with the rights of people LGBT people.

There was a time when I've forsaken the church because I could not understand why God would make people gay then have his followers go out to attack them. It pained me every night to think that my future would be made so horrible solely based on the beliefs of the other people (and formerly my own group of people). I've gone from hardcore Christian to atheist, but now I'm pretty much an agnostic. Now, what you're saying is different than the kinds of people I have encountered. I've had people harass me on a daily bases for months and had minimal help from other people. It took years to finally accept who I was, and to stop trying to change myself, but to instead try showing others why it's important to treat others equally. Don't get me wrong, my goal is not to make others believe in what I believe, but rather, to make people aware of the psychological damage being caused when they show their homophobic beliefs to other people.

All I'm trying to say is, believe what you want but don't let your beliefs get in the way of other peoples'.

 

That study is considered to be flawed by a lot of researchers in that field. It's a classic example of fishing for results, like gerrymandering but for research. Also, it is funded by a group that has an interest in fishing for results, not an independent research team.

Lol this "researcher" has gotten shat on, even the guy who published it and the journal that published it say it's flawed and non-conclusive

I don't mean to be critical or anything but generally when a link has a title called "gay-parenting-bullshit" I wouldn't say it is all that scientific. No reputable source is going to call another theory "bullshit", they will try to refute it, not call it excrement.

 

I agree, but if you read the story it has a lot of links to other articles about the study/the guy who made the study.

 

I'll just put this here.

Ohh, look more stuff from Lizzy the Lezzy.

And here's the top comment to the above post.

I was actually smacked by a bible once at recess in High School; I simply said that I was an atheist, and gay, and BAM! Bible right in the back of my head.
But joke's on them; The principal caught them, and I whispered as they were dragged off to the office "Where's your God now?"

 

I was all for Gay marriage until I watched this....he brings up some good points..... Like Gay marriage is bad for global warming.

 

... ... ...

 

No,
.........

 

No, because I pause within the pauses trying to say something but can't find any words to express the extreme disappointment and ashamedness I had for you right then.

 

The dots were connected tho

 

Skaros isn't an idiot.

You can't say all the gay people you've met are all idiots without saying he is too. And I can damn well guarantee he is not an idiot.

Unless you argue that you've never technically met him.
Then the same would apply for Empoleon.

Stop generalizing. A better word would have been "most", or "a lot", not all.

 

You're right. The majority of the homosexuals I have met are idiots.

 

Much better than all

 

This proves how much gay therapy works, the logic behind it is AMAZING!

I really encourage you guys to follow Lizzy the Lezzy on face book, she posts the most awesome things, ever!



And one of the top comments for that post was.
"God has been credited with a lot of quotes that no one has ever heard him say."

 

I couldn't find the comment but

I'm curious as to how you because an atheist from a hardcore Christian?

What did your relatives have to say about that, and are you excluding yourself from going to church with your family?

 

The majority of atheists are former believers and some were even pastors and ministers.

You can't blame if he doesn't want to sit in and listen for hours to stuff he doesn't believe.

 

They never knew. Although, I'm not an atheist anymore, that's for sure.
