Given that, according to your comment history, you think "homosexuality is morally wrong", I don't think you're going to find much sympathy here. On the whole, Lemmy has little patience for regressive ideology.

I was talking in terms of my religious beliefs. If you aren't a Christian, my opinion doesn't concern you.

Unfortunately, lately Christians have done nothing but fucking make their religious beliefs a concern to me so no. You are dead ass wrong. After having drinks thrown at me, guns pulled on me, being spat at, cussed out, followed around in my car, kicked out of dog parks, and up rooting my entire fucking life to move to a safer place: I'm not a Christian and your opinion concerns the fuck out of me.

Why would my personal beliefs concern you?

I haven't thrown a drink at you, pulled a gun, spat at you, cussed at you, followed you in your car or kick you out of a dog park. Nor have I done that to anyone. And I'll condemn anyone I find doing it.

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Same way you'll condemn the gays yes?

So you hate religious people, why does anyone need to hear about it?

We aren't going to generalise and putting words into peoples' mouths. Correct your behaviour.

As a Christian, gtfo with homophobia. All people are made in Gods image and so to condemn the gay and transgender people is to condemn the Lord. Take one of the greatest commandments seriously: love thy neighbour.

Perhaps not yours personally, but Christians' in general sure do, because they're always trying to shove their religious beliefs into governmental policy. People are dying right now because of the obviously Christian abortion ban in the US.

Serious question: is the morality of homosexuality actually brought into question in the old/new testaments, or is this one of those things where people have chosen to interpret some shit creatively? Seen quite a few of those creative takes, like the people claiming the "hot or cold" or "camel through the eye of the needle" bits are actually some obscure references to local conditions rather than actual moral lessons.

Bible is pretty clear.

1 Corinthians 6:9

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,

Romans 1:26-27

For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

As for the "hot and cold", that type of thing is up for interpretation, although I hold that hot water is good and so is cold water. I believe that's what Jesus was referring to.

The "Camel through an eye of a needle" with the "eye of the needle" being a gate is a total myth made up by the rich to try and justify their greed. Jesus meant what we read it as today. For extra clarification, the original greek even refers to the word "needle" with different words, one is surgical, I believe the other one is fishing related. So it couldn't be a place. Jesus meant what He said - it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than a rich person to get into heaven.

I encourage you to look it up for yourself. The English translations are pretty unequivocal, though there are those who insist they are miss-translated.

That insistence has not resulted in any of the major English translations choosing different wording.

Is a good list.

Of course, none of that matters because gay people should have more rights than any book.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Damn those are some harsh passages. Definitely not creative interpretation on that one.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Well I think any "Christian" that thinks that God judges people for being gay is a Devil worshipper. Hate is the domain of Satan, not a benevolent God. There is a word for a being that would make people a certain immutable way and then judge them harshly for it. That word is Evil. You fundamentally believe in an evil, demonic god.

You're not a Christian. You're a Devil worshipper. And you will burn in Hell for your sins.
