It is quite possible to be stubborn, ignorant and just plain wrong.. 

That doesn't give you the right to post your beliefs as if they were facts.
well, yes the TOS says you cant promote Homophobia, so you saying its an abomination is promoting homophobia. cut and dry. If you said  "I believe its an abomination", it would your beliefs and maybe that would be okay by the administration. But your saying "Homosexuality is an abomination according to God, and therefore is."
So, it's OK to say God maybe disagrees with homosexuality, and maybe God will send the wicked to Hell, maybe, maybe, maybe. I can't speak something as a maybe that I am fully convinced of.

No ones asking you to say it as a maybe. Ok, so YOU are fully convinced that Homosexuality is an abomination. Cool. Got That. Just state it that way... " I believe...." Just because its something you believe doesnt make it true.

I really said people were gonna rot in Hell? Again, because you don't like me you exaggerate what I say into being terrible and even criminalistic.

Like the one time I said God helped me to do the right thing, and then you said I had all the red flags and asked if I was a gun owner. And when I asked why you said that, you simply said, "Because I don't like you. We have different views."

Yeah, you love to exaggerate.
Out of all of what I said, that's what you focus on? That's what you base your whole reply on?? Lame. Ok, maybe you said "burn in hell." My bad.  *:)

OMG, what is with you and the first time I told you my opinion of you? Obsess much? Others have said the exact same thing to you!! I still believe that it's true, BTW. You've done nothing but prove it over and over and over and over....

Sojo, look at the definitions I posted.  Whether you agree or disagree those are the definitions.

I will not reform my posts to please you. I am certain of the facts of the matter. I probably won't post much on homosexuality, as it will be deleted, but I will continue to say I agree with God on the matter, and point to the Bible.

Until I hear the word of god, the dictionary is the authority.

Its pointless to argue with you. You'll never get it.

Here, take this quiz and post your results:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/assault/etc/quiz.html


55   -   Your score rates you as "homophobic."   


That is incorrect, because I DO NOT "fear" homosexuals, I just don't think that is the way people should behave...Much the same as I don't think people should have sex with children, or animals...Those are sexual deviations...I don't have a problem with a person who is gay, only the act and the promotion of such a lifestyle as being "normal".

If I were to say the same thing and add the word "God" it would be deleted.

Hell, I catch flak for speaking my mind all the time...I just chalk it up to those peoples fear of hearing something they might deep down agree with, but would never be so daring to say as much, because it might make them look bad.


That is something to think about... ;)

The difference between Ozman and Looney is that Looney keeps citing a book as his basis for labeling things evil.  Ozman just doesn't like it.

Looney, What's the frequency Kenneth?

Homo-phobia.

This site says you may not promote homophobia, but what exactly is homophobia?

Is homophobia just stating the Biblical views on homosexuality? Is it a true fear of homosexuals to say, "The Bible states homosexuality is sin, and those who partake in such shall perish"?

Not hardly.

According to the reasoning of the New Administration, not even a Pastor could state that homosexuality is sin in a reasonable and civil way, for then hate, contempt, and fear would be read into that post and it would be deleted.

But I can see why a post that said, "GOD HATES FAGS!" or "FUDGE PACKING FAGGOTS WILL FRY IN HELL!" would be deleted as those are clearly posted in a spirit of hate, but is it really hateful and homophobic to state your religious beliefs about homosexuality in a reasonable way?

If you just want to name call and insult, then please don't post in this thread. Let's be reasonable.

Give it up man, you lost.   Face it.
