rfirth Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Lets attack the Christians shall we :rolleyes: . You may not agree with them or their religion but damn people have some respect. Maybe because it's Christians trying to (and succeeding) in outlawing gay marriage? And justifying bullying? You may not agree with their gayness, but damn people have some respect. mudslag and Duffydemon 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S. Veteran Posted May 1, 2012 Veteran Share Posted May 1, 2012 That comment was ignorant and disrespectful. Ignorant, because it is already among the beliefs of Christians that the prescriptions in the Leviticus are not to be applied literally today and should be seen as an intermediary step towards the law of Jesus: love for God and others. Those Christians who actually cite Leviticus against homosexuality prove their ignorance of their own religion as well. Disrespectful, because calling something bull**** is disrespectful, obviously. He may have had the right to say his opinion, but that doesn't make it any less ignorant and disrespectful, and I can understand those who decided to leave the room. cycro 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokthraka Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 TY for the welcome! I do have a thick skin. Just seems that others are quick to judge or try to force their opinion on others. you mean like religious people do? they try forcing everyone to not have an abortion, not be gay, not have sex before marriage, and a billion other things, so ill be dammed if I have a religious person tell me I am trying to force my opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokthraka Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Someones bitter. no I just think its hypocritical. im not gay, I cant have an abortion, and im a virgin, so none of it really applies to me. but when I see people yelling at a homosexual or a chick who had an abortion, even though she could have been raped, or god knows what. It ****es me off. cycro and farmeunit 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudslag Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 So where was the cherry picking? You either believe or you don't. Everyone that does or does not believe has the right to stay or go. Cherry picking would be when people use one part of a section of the bible to say that needs to be lived by while at the same time saying the rest of that section no longer applies for what ever reason. The old testament is a good example of parts cherry picked when needed to express something but will turn around in the same conversation and say the old testament no longer is followed.

I'm not attacking them for their religion. I'm not attacking the Christian faith. On the other hand, I have no problem attacking hypocrites. That's not a religion and it's universal.

mudslag Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Wow. If I would have been able to witness the backlash from what I had originally posted, I wouldn't have said anything. To each his or her own. I've not been a member for too long but what I can gather the "higher posters" relish in making the new posters feel like crap if they don't agree somewhat to their beliefs.

seta-san Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 think of it like this. christains just walk out of something they find offensive. They were clearly open minded enough to listen to a gay activist but they weren't there to have their holy book insulted. You go to the middle east and start dissing on the koran like this.. they wouldn't get up and just leave. They would get up and behead you.

Wasn't someone sent to jail over trolling in the U.K. But if this isn't real life and someone gets on the internet thats christian and slams someone for being gay, you'd be ok with that because its not real life? Or would you stand up for the gay guy? So are you suggesting it's ok to make fun of gays online but not Christians? I just want to get a clear understanding of what is or isnt ok in your book.

revparadigm Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Man just think if the roles were reversed here. A Christian speaker goes into a high school and does the opposite/yet same thing Savage said...all hell would have been barking for his head on a platter. Let's quit being hypocritical here. Savage was completely wrong and should apologize...but no, he is a militant homosexual who thinks he has a right to be the ultimate hypocrite. I certainly oppose any Christian acting that way towards homosexuals...and new testament believer should appraise character for the sake of wisdom, but condemnation goes against everything gospel salvation is about. While we were ALL sinners, Christ loved us and died for us. Jesus didn't stone the adulterer, He said go your way and sin no more. There is our example Christians - the plan is to redeem, not pronounce. Btw though the NT never says "do not judge"...that is taking half a sentence and forgetting the rest. "Judge not, lest you be judged also : for the same manner you use will be used against you" [Matthew 7:1-2] ...its talking about what you sow is what you will reap. If you condemn, you will be condemned. Judgement doesn't always mean a death sentence. Judgements are awarded in favor of people all the time and judgements deliver people from accusations. "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment" [John 7:24]. Right judgement remembers context that all have sinned and all need a Savior...right judgement is for personal relationships, protecting one's self from people with wrong motives. "Bad company corrupts good morals". There is my rant...lol. THolman, cycro, Koffiefrats and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudslag Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 When did I suggest that. That's why I was asking. Christians like to pretend they are the most persecuted while ignoring they are the majority. Oh no we're being persecuted woe is us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj55555 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Beliefs are fair game for attacks, even vicious attacks. You have complete control of your mind to either change or own or convince others of what you believe. Religious beliefs deserve no more protection from criticism or ridicule than do racist, bigoted, or jingoistic beliefs. People should feel no more insulted by criticism of their religious beliefs as I they would be about criticism of their favorite football team or favorite color. People going bat-**** crazy when their religion is criticized reflects how weak-minded they are. They feel vulnerable because they lack the mental faculty to explain why they think their beliefs are correct. mokthraka 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
