Gay Marriage as an attack on Christianity

The only way to act on being black or female is to demand equal rights. Why is a homosexual demanding equal rights different?

Sins are nobodies business but the sinner.The Christian Cult of Ignorance and Dishonesty needs to be laughed outta Dodge.It's time to assign the pitiful God they market to the trash bin.

Feelings aren't traits.

so religious feelings, which aren't traits, shouldn't be protected.

I wasn't talking about mortifying sexual sins in particular, but all sins.Sexuality itself isn't a sin but there are certainly a lot of sexual sins that need to be mortified and homosexual behavior is one of them.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Feelings have nothing to do with anything legal that I know of.

Superstitious garbage.

Yeah I used to believe there were no consequences to sin too, that it was all superstitious garbage, so I pushed the envelope pretty far and God smacked me down pretty hard for it, and I'm still reeling from the smackdown. I'm grateful for it though because it sure put an end to that modern conceit you are still laboring under.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

It's funny how you were wrong and then you changed your mind and you were still wrong. We all know that there are consequences for our actions, whether our actions are "sin" or something else. When we get smacked down by the consequences, it isn't "God", it's reality.

Calling the idea of sin "superstitious garbage" is what I was responding to. That implies there is no such thing as sin. I found out there is. And the consequences are pretty clearly supernatural. Tangle may not have the courage to push the envelope as far as I did, which would suggest to me that he knows it's not superstitious garbage.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Tangle is an atheist. He would call anything involving God superstition. Your attempts to read what he wrote do not make much sense.Sins are things we do against God. That concept is different from things that are wrong because they are crimes, hurtful, stingy, evil, etc although there is a great deal of overlap.

I'm not talking about crimes, I'm talking about private sins, and I was an atheist at the time too.

I don't know if Tangle would agree with me but I would say that "sin" is real - only it's internal. It's our conscience telling us we shouldn't do something and making us feel guilty after we did it. But the part where some alien overlord decides what is "sin" is superstitious garbage. It's ourselves and our society that decides what is "sin". Well, no. That isn't clear at all.

You aren't in a position to see that they are supernatural beause I haven't said enough about it and don't intend to; I'm telling you they are supernatural, they are not normal social consequences.

I didn't say anything about social consequences. I mentioned reality - i.e. observable, physical consequences. Sexually-transmitted disease would be an example - real consequences as opposed to imagined "supernatural" ones.
