Quote:Oh? So prove to me that every book written by man is right. Prove to me that none of these books were not written to promote someone's own agenda.
My mistake. Give me EVIDENCE that the bible is correct. You can't just assume that everything in print here is correct.
Quote:So one is immoral because they believe something is wrong because God says it is wrong? Huh?
Yep. If you believe that being black is wrong because god says so, then that's wrong.
Quote:Where does common sense come from?
By you being human.
Quote:Who decides what bigotry is? God or the person that wants something their way and someone disagrees with them and they are; therefore, a bigot?
Bigotry: A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own.
Bigotry: Prejudice carried to the extreme of overt hatred, often carried to the point of violence.
Quote:Again, I never said religion was an excuse for anything. Why do you keep bringing that up? There is right and there is wrong. Period.
Then decide whether it is right or wrong. You continue to avoid this.
I thought you were smarter than thought. Anything in the realm of the supernatural has vanishingly small chances.
Quote:Haven't a clue. Do you?
About the same chances that there is some kind of invisible ghost in front of you.
Quote:Hmmm. Where does it leave the murderers who do not have religious beliefs? They think killing is ok. Doesn't make it so, does it? I don't know any Christians that think it's ok to go out and kill someone. Do you?
Again, where does morality come from? You? Me? Who makes up what is moral and what is not moral? What about those that are not religious at all but still think homosexuality is wrong?
Those who think homosexuality is wrong is wrong. And they have nothing to justify it. Because it is not wrong. Morality comes from all of us. The common of us know what is right and wrong.
And this is morality: discrimination is wrong. Do you agree? And I think it be smart too, that there is nothing wrong with it. It harms nobody. And it harms people to think that it is wrong.
Why do you choose to believe something discriminatory? Is it right to believe in something that harms others who have done nothing?
Do you discriminate? Do you think that discrimination is right?
At this point, you do. You think discrimination is right. You harm others who have done nothing. You may dispute whether this is right or wrong, but as it stands, you say that your belief is that you should harm others.
Say it: "I am a bigot. I am homophobic. I am intolerant of gays and is discriminatory so."
Is it true? Is it not true? It is one or the other. And choose one. Take your pick.
Be smart.
