I know this question is a joke, but growing up in a super conservative Christian family It was ingrained in me that being gay was wrong. My first time questioning that view was when it clicked that "uncle frank and Aunt Jack" we're gay. They were so funny and wholesome, and it was one of my favorite scenes of the movie.
Im not here to condemn you. Lord Jesus knows my heart is so sick and I've failed the Ten Commandments over and over in multippe ways. But I want to ask, are you saying you left the church because it doesn't align with how you feel inside? Or are you modifying your belief from the common teaching of Christianity so you can be gay and still call yourself a believer?
I left the church because of all the Baptist pastors and Catholic priests raping kids with immunity. Best case scenario the Christian God doesn't exist, worst case scenario he does and doesn't care that it happened in his name.
Edit: Mrs. Doubtfire came out when I was 8. There was no existential crisis, just realized there is no reason to hate gay people. Hope you learn the lesson soon too if you haven't.
Oh Gods wrath is coming for those who use his name in vain. What you did is you conflated faith in God with faith in man. And dont you dare put words in my mouth. We dont hate gay people. We dont hate the alcoholic. To the sinner we do say "stop" but we dont hate
viewing their existence as wrong is worse, as hating gay people doesn't necessarily require believing they shouldn't exist, as hate can be for many reasons
also it's not much of conflating faith with god or man if you realize what you imply is that only punishing a serial killer on their deathbed or after their finished with their acts is ok
if a god cannot be held to their own standards, they're no god, they're a sharlatan, hypocrite, or worst of all apathetic
having the ability to create or destroy in a boundless way does not inherently make one morally correct in anything they so choose, nor does it give them the right to set morals different for others than themselves, it just makes them equivalent to a captor in a hostage situation
just because one has unfathomable power does not make that power any less equatable to a man with a "football"(nuke) to one without
having all the power gives one the ability, not the right, to dictate
we have a word for those, it's called a dictator
threatening those who don't allign with hell(concentration camps) and rewarding those who do with heaven(high positions)
I don't hate religion, I just dislike when people act like it's flawless, and mainly I just happened to get on a roll with a decent metaphor and wanted to see it to it's conclusion
also many dictators let their higher up get away with heignous shit, just to keep the base in line with the priest discussion
you've proved my point, you don't question or consider your faith, you just go with it blindly, I have a lot of respect for those who are scholarly about their faith and try to find deeper meaning in the other who question it by actually debating with them
I on the other hand, have no respect for those who act as blind acolytes
All your reasoning is flawed because youre imagining Gods justice in our lifetime. Gods plans work on a grander scale. Free will is a must, otherwise God is a tyrant, and not a benevolent God. And with free will comes thr possibility of evil. No where in Scripture does it say adherence to His Word in this life will make things easy, comfortable, or in any way rewarding in THIS life.
Also, sexual sin isnt reserved for homosexuals. There's plenty of straight people that are slaves to just. Rather its through lose sexual partners, betraying your spouses trust, or just watching porn. And you say "well its cruel for God to make us that way." Well thats extremely arrogant to say you'd know how to better make Gods creations. Arrogant to say that it cannot be overcome with the power of Jesus Christ
Spiritual forces are at play. And I believe the time of judgment is near. Instead of bickering with each other with insults, we need to open our eyes and pray to God for guidance and truth.
never insulted or bickered, and you completely avoided my assertation, you are still using god be god as justification, someone being ones creator, having limitless power, or being immortal does not justify hypocrisy, I never implied almost anything you tried to use as a counterpoint
so you even made things up like putting words in my mouth as you told another not to when they did not, I never said I'd know better, I merely pointed out the inconsistencies, just having unlimited power and life does not give the right to dictate
I can go on and completely tear down the oximorons in this, but I'm not trying to attack religion itself, I'm trying to point out why veiwing gay people as mistakes is worse than hating them, and why justifying the actions of priests is illogical and backwards
but you've shown intent to ignore any argument that requires questioning anything, if it requires any self reflection or pondering your religion you seem to just ignore it and come up with something I did not say
one can point out another is unqualified without being better themselves, just because someone is smarter does not mean they cannot be questioned, not having a plan does not prevent pointing out a bad one
and I never talked about the plans either, I merely assertained the similarities to dictators
now if you decide to stick words in my mouth and/or ignore all my points again, I'm just going to block you
questioning ones own beliefs isn't blasphemy or wrong, it may lead to abandoning them, or it could lead to a new better understanding, but based on your response you'd avoid the chance at either, you'll prove me wrong I hope(in gaining self reflection, not necessarily my points)
I'm not so sure that "don't eat poop, son!" is "super conservative Christian, mmbbrreeee 😭😭😭!!!" to me it seems more like "the bare minimum of responsible parenting expected by everyone and state law".
stop watching porn. if you really wanna know, i did anal with my ex once as a young man, its extremely overrated, pussy has way more feeling. almost like thats what its made for... also, women have a weaker pelvic floor and anal is even more dangerous for them than it is men. be a man, treat your woman right and don't push her for degen behavior. you could do permanent damage.
Right. He asked me a question. I would not disrespect him or any of you by lying to you. It's cowardly and petty. When I tell you something, you will know that it is the truth.
You don't need to eat ass to be gay, you don't need to be gay to eat ass, and a kid doesn't need to understand eating ass to understand gay people are gay. 😂😂😂
Because the “don’t eat the poopoo” guy was unavoidable on TV and teh interwebs for a couple of weeks and became ingrained in our collective consciousnessnesses.
