quote: ORIGINAL: thishereboi quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen quote: ORIGINAL: Kirata quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen He likes to trot out that bullshit when he gets called on getting all huffy when his defense of his faith gets too obvious. It's not the first time. You're lying. Also not for the first time. And just to be unmistakably clear, I really do mean lying. Not just making shit up, but knowingly lying. You've had your ass handed to you each and every time you've floated this particular evidence-free claim, but apparently you think that's all so far in the past now that nobody will remember. Well alrighty then, fine. Bend over, bozo. Not only am I not a defender of Christianity, I am one of its critics. And not just in a peripheral sense of some Christians somewhere once doing bad things, but of its most central doctrine. So please accept my cordial invitation to drag your lying ass back under that rock you call home. You sure get mad when your faith is challenged. If it was stronger maybe you would be more secure. You wouldn't admit you were sweating if your ass was on fire. If this is how you interact with people in real life it no wonder you are constantly having problems. In what fantasy world do you think I'm constantly having problems? I rarely if ever discuss my life here and certainly make sure not to bring up any issues I'm having since dumbasses like yourself would harp on them.

The only possible challenge here would be to decide between whether you suffer from a mental defect, or are just a lying troll. But personally, I don't think it's an either/or question. I strongly encourage you to either seek counseling from your minister/priest to strengthen your faith or give it up and dump the crazy shit you believe and embrace atheism.

You should be used to getting busted by now. It happens regularly. You're a pathological liar. So be a good fellow and just move along. There's no way out of it. K.

Actually, nj claimed the root of homophobia is in christianity. No ambiguity - a flat-out statement. Then went on to justify, by quoting biblical recitations, the base of that reasoning. No strawman. K called bullshit. I stated that in my PoV, homophobia wasn't rooted in christianity and that it existed before the religion. Then came a few pages of a pissing contest over the one sentance that made that declaration. nj has since re-declared the same thing using different words - that christianity created homophobia rather than being the root of it. Isn't that pretty much the same thing?? And I have answered that second assertion again with supporting links. Where the fuck did you get the idea it was a strawman originating from K??? I answered nj directly - nothing to do with K at all.

The curious thing, MM, is that I am quite sure you do understand the point. Cling to that.

Kirata -> RE: -=Federal Judge Strikes Down Virginia Gay Marriage Ban=- (7/1/2014 1:51:49 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: njlauren I think that homophobia was something that probably caused people to be uncomfortable before those religions were created... but it [Christianity] most certainly made it the de facto 'background' belief of western society So snipping out the distracting blather, your updated and clarified position is that the feeling there was something "wrong" about homosexuality was the background belief before Christianity made it the background belief.

Kirata -> RE: -=Federal Judge Strikes Down Virginia Gay Marriage Ban=- (7/1/2014 2:30:13 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: PeonForHer No, actually Kirata brought up. And then you and Freedomdwarf joined in without, I suspect, checking on the source of his quote from Lauren. That's why you missed the bleeding obvious. The fact that she was talking about predominantly Christian nations is of no consequence to the objection I raised, and the rest of her post was just a rationalization... The reality of non Christian homophobia is that its roots are in Christianity. Just because John Q homophobe doesn't go to church, claims not to be religious and so forth doesn't mean that Christianity is not at the root of his homophobia. Even if his family was not religious, chances are he grew up around people who were Christian and influenced by their churches, and in his own family odds are that in prior generations everyone was Christian. But Christianity's sexual sins also include fornication and adultery, of which the Church has been unstinting in its frequent and emphatic condemnation. Yet despite centuries of preaching, Christians continue happily fornicating and cheating on their wives. To claim in the face of such conspicuous and resounding failure that Christianity somehow managed to bring a Svengali-like power to bear in the sole case of perpetuating homophobia has all the ingredients for a Twilight Zone episode.

Does that mean you were lying when you claimed you keep having your tires slashed?

quote: ORIGINAL: crazyml The curious thing, MM, is that I am quite sure you do understand the point. Cling to that. I don't know what your problem is, cm. You aren't usually like this. But whatever. A sentence isn't a magic thing that changes meaning when not in its paragraph. I don't need your approval -- that's how it is. That's how it is about writers. That's how it is among writing professors. That's how it is among publishers and editors. That's how it is except in the minds of you and peon. And being nasty doesn't make it so. So fuck off. I've given you the space of having a bad day, but you decided to double down on nasty, and STILL with no counter-argument, just sniping.

Musicmystery -> RE: -=Federal Judge Strikes Down Virginia Gay Marriage Ban=- (7/1/2014 5:02:41 AM)
nj's claim is quite clear, sentence in or out of the paragraph, and not only is it not misunderstood, but also nj has repeatedly defended that claim and expounded upon it. If nobody is saying it, why are you and cm all nutso when I say it isn't so? This place is a fucking junior high school -- all testosterone and no maturity, experience, or brains.

Just checking: does the bolded part of that sentence mean that you agree that Lauren was talking about predominantly Christian nations? I'd rather ask you, and accept your clarification, than get into parsing sentences, checking with online dictionaries on the rules of grammar, etc, etc, you see. quote: But Christianity's sexual sins also include fornication and adultery, of which the Church has been unstinting in its frequent and emphatic condemnation.

Interesting observation. For me, the evidence looks pretty damned abundant that the Church has played the role of perpetuating homophobia in just the way most of its critics say. My first thought: fornicating and cheating is 'evil', but homosexuality is 'both evil and unnatural'?
