"eye for an eye" is much older than Christianity or any religions followed today, your going all the way back to Hammurabi. Now. Jihadists deserve to be put to death. thats it. Death. They want to kill innocents, they don't deserve anything but death. This is not America this is Jordan, we are not in a position to tell them what to do. They stepped up and are taking the lead in the coalition now, the US hasn't done a whole lot, say they've made the most airstrikes and your right. But they pick and choose what they hit. The Jordanians are doing what we should be, carpet bombing IS stronghold areas, collateral is to expected but this is war, and if your walking around next to the ISIS strongholds, then you may as well be one of them, those bastards crucify children.

Anti-homosexuality is everywhere in society and doesn't permeate strictly in religious communities, Lawlz. Blaming Christianity, or religion, or faith for the misgivings in your life is a little whiny and dodging the main problem, which is you. You are your worst enemy. You spend too much time concerned with how terrible your life is going and too little making something of yourself. Technically by sitting here and typing this out I'm guilty of the same thing, in another sense.

Ad hominem

If religon means the belief in God, lucid, then you are simply proving my point

Lawlz, you're one to talk about Ad hominem. I believe it was you who made a post earlier that said nothing but "You're an insensitive cunt"

Also Dutch's point was valid, not really Ad hominem. It's pretty much what I've been trying to say. You can't demonize a gigantic group because a small amount of said group have given you problems in life.

"You're an insensitive cunt"

After already getting off topic about my personal life.

Also Dutch's point was valid, not really Ad hominem

or the misgivings in your life is a little whiny
You are your worst enemy.
You spend too much time
your life

Ad fucking hominem, arguing me instead of my point.

Anti-homosexuality is everywhere in society and doesn't permeate strictly in religious communities, Lawlz. Blaming Christianity, or religion, or faith for the misgivings in your life is a little whiny

Seems to be arguing a point to me.

Faith is the biggest hurdle when it comes to lgbt rights, but nowhere did I say it was the only one.

Lgbt?

LGBT stands for Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Transexuals

Hold on for a second.

*lols*

This thread will now die due to the constant rehashing and bashing.

Lawlz, you are correct in claiming that paragraph is ad hominem, except that your character is a part of the problem. Most of your arguments to this point have been ad hominem attacks on Christian individuals, or worse people who claim to be Christian, but in fact have no idea what it means to be Christian. You have been attacking the people rather than the faith.

None of your argument have anything worth standing on. Your LGBT rights movement won't proceed any more easily if you side-line and oppress religion. In fact, claiming that religion should be illegal (and yes, you went that far) undermines any legitimacy to your own cause. One group oppressing another isn't progress and most certainly isn't "freedom" though you're welcome to continue thinking it is.

Julius, it's becoming more difficult to distinguish you from an IS militant. That is exactly how they talk as well. "Infidels should be put to death, that's it, death." Your words have literally justified their existence.

Remember "because the way that you judge others will be the way that you will be judged, and you will be evaluated by the standard with which you evaluate others." Matthew 7:2 (ISV)

Oh and Lawlz, I argued your point as well, you just chose to ignore it and pick the paragraph out where I said you're a part of the problem. No one likes to hear it, but most of us need to.

no idea what it means to be Christian

I'm only preaching what I learned from church

claiming that religion should be illegal

Never said that

One group oppressing another isn't progress

Fucking rich coming from one of the most oppressive groups out there

As oppressive as Russia or China? Or nah?

Lawlz, again your prejudice against Christians leads you to false statements. Christianity the most oppressive group? Really? You don't even know the true meaning of oppression. Few in the United States do.

Stand aside: ISIS,North Korea,Boko-Haram, Al-Qaeda, Sharia Law nations, street gangs, mafias, and all you others. Here comes Christianity! We're going to destroy you through preaching and political lobbying, MUHAHAHAHAHA!

Okay seriously,It's getting really ridiculous at this point. Someone opposes your "alternative lifestyle" or whatever you prefer to call it and you try to label them as some evil group that needs to be pushed out of public society all together. The U.S.A is a free country, people are free to have political views and EXPRESS them. If you can't handle that than move somewhere else.

The U.S.A is a free country, people are free to have political views and EXPRESS them.

Hmm...

Well, at least it's supposed to be. Although there's been a growing trend of ostracizing people from all public life just for holding a specific political view.

I wanted to throw my computer awhile back when I saw a news story about Firefox's CEO being forced to step down because he supported a Christian group that lobbied against gay marriage. I don't care what your stance on gay rights is, nobody should be fired from their job just for taking a certain stance on an issue.

Good, I'm glad he got fired. This is why I hate christians, because of how you act. It isn't some filthy act or "alternative lifestyle" like you seem to think it is. It's almost identical to cis/straight relationships and it's about damn time we started getting equality. Now it's being held as discrimination as it should be.

You're full of it Lawlz. You can't claim to support tolerance and freedom while being intolerant and attempting to suppress freedom.

Everyone has the right to hold and express their views, whether you think they are right or wrong in those views is irrelevant. Whether those views offend you or not is irrelevant. If someone is morally compelled to stand against something than they have the right to say so and seek legal means to take that stand.

Also, the fact that you think it's ok for people to get fired over petty political differences says a lot about your character. God help us if people of your mindset have their way. I'd like to see you justify it if middle to lower class people start getting fired over similar issues, and than we have families starving on the streets just because the person with the job didn't support gay marriage.

Having a view and enforcing it are irrelevant. You can call someone a nigger, but you can't deny them rights. Same with lgbt
