It's pathetic to me that people can post statements like that but someone can't have their own opinion on gay marriage.

Signature's are stupid.

Idiot, your not a Christian so how should you know how the Christian religion works? And where did I say a darn thing about killing people? You [mod edited].

Quote: "Oh God, here we go. People like you (and TP and GJ) are the reason we can't have political or religious discussions. It causes a chain reaction of "well, it's already started, might as well join in with why I think they're an idiot as well", like this:

Its very hard to bite ones tongue when the mods let the liberals spout what they want to, but then the Right-wingers get in trouble for defending themseleves.

No wonder all these countries are going deeper and deeper into hell.

Yep, I actually have a conscience and believe in right or wrong.

Seppuku arts is one of the few liberals I dont hate- he has the maturity not to drop comments that are going to fire others up. The only one on this forum.
Intolerance is Ignorance, you say.
Thats so sweet, but why dont you tolerate people like me? You Hypocrite.

Not true.

Isn't Jeku right wing? At least he's managed to defend right wing arguments quite well before now.

The fact you've not yet been slapped or banned suggests you've not got into any trouble at all. So far, each instance of the AUP breaking thats gone on, all that's happened is thread-lock. The mods aren't giving anybody special treatment.

What really is pathetic are the people that are against gay marriage. What have gays as a group done to deserve all this hate? Nothing, that's what. So if you hate them because of... nothing, then you're an idiot.

I have never seen anyone give a logical reason for being against gay marriage.

"The problem is, we can't have nice things!" <- Says the poor wife.

The mods are probably thinking, "this is just too much of a joke, they've been warned". As much as it would be great for this forum to handle religious and political discussion maturely without being ignorant of one and another, it would be fantastic! Because once somebody says, "my opinion on this is religious", they can, it can be discussed and everybody is happy, even those who disagree. There have been moments where this community has shown it can deal with religion and politics, but it always ends badly.

Now, I think it'll be safe to NOW say this forum is going to learn why it is against the AUP the hard-way, admittedly, myself included. Perhaps if the mods slapped us all for a week, we'll learn our lesson?

Maybe it isn't a bad idea? Or is it a suicidal suggestion? Well, 'seppuku' is Japanese ritual suicide after all.

Well, its good that i disconnected my interent to stop myself posting.

So your a devout beliver in chirst your saviour? Excellent by your own logic your dammed like the rest of us. Jesus preached peace respect and above all tolerance. So who the are you worshipping because i really cant see it. This is why i became an athiest, i knew the second i got into the world, there'd be people like you and i never want to be asscoicated with a childish arugmetal zealot that spouts crap in the name of someone else.

I was born and rasied a christian So who are you to question my knowledge? We should stand on equal terms by our teachings and we should all be equally made in the image of god. The only difference ive seen so far is your lack of understanding and misrepresentation of every single thing a relgion stands for.

And please dont swear, it shows how childish you are.

I should probably qualify my previous statement: I'm not gay myself but I live in an area with a strong gay community, a good deal of whom are close friends of mine. So sorry if I seemed to be over-reacting, I didn't mean it to sound intolerant, it just hit a nerve.

On the point about being intolerant towards gay-haters, as soon as one person is intolerant of one group of people with no real basis for it, intolerance towards that particular person is justified. If someone says 'I hate all black people' he then can't get out of it for free by saying 'You're intolerant of racists', if you see what I mean. I have every right to hate you GJ for your irrational and dangerous hate of others.

I hope I haven't crossed the line at any point here, and if I have by all means delete my posts and slap me or whatever, but I'll give the same offer as Sep - if you want to discuss the subject further, E-mail me.

The marching lock warriors approacheth. Their booming drums echoing through the thread, cutting it's puny strands with their formidable wrath.

I refuse to be frustrated this time by the rambling religious rubbarb crumble, so I won't comment on the religious tone.

I do really think some slaps should be handed out for this constant religion related AUP breaking, especially when combined with intolerance that could deeply upset some people. It keeps being let slide, and my only guess is because MODs fear it's too risky a subject to slap someone for.

Yup, and on forum asked me to change my name because they felt the image it conjured up would be too offensive. It's a text-book term for what a Samurai may have done after dishonouring their master, so that was unexpected.

I never said I was against gay marriage. But people aren't idiots if they are against it. Gays are NOT a race. It's a decision they've made. It's AGAINST Christian views. Just because you don't believe in the bible and it's views doesn't mean others are idiots if they do. No one "hates" gays. People "hate" what they're DOING. NOT who they are.

Who the hell are you to say anything like that? It may be a decision for some but for many it's not.

Quote: "Not it's not. Again, gays are NOT a race."


Use your head, if you hate a group of people for no logical reason. It's just as bad as hating any other group for no reason.

Quote: "No one "hates" gays. People "hate" what they're DOING. NOT who they are."


And that's exactly what makes those people idiots. I don't understand what you mean by "what they're doing" because all i can think of what they are doing is being gay? And if they hate what they're doing (being gay) then they hate gays, get it?

You can not back up hatred like that with any reason. There's no possible logical reason you could give. And that's why people who hate gays are idiots.

Sure it's aginst christian views, and just because someone believes in the bible doesn't mean they're idiots (you should know, not all christians hate gays). If they hate a group of people for no reason just because some book tells them to.. for absolutelty no reason then they're stupid.

I fail to see your logic General Jackson, just because you think it is wrong doesn’t mean it is. Every one to their own. That comment has forced me to lose all respect for you. Not only are your comments unprofaned they are also very offensive to some.

The part where you say "And they want me to accept them?" just makes it a whole lot worse. Do you expect them to live their life alone and be denied the one thing that could grant them happiness?

Agreed. If that is your honest opinion, then I suggest you start getting to terms with modern society. Either that or keep your views to yourself and don't insult others.

Quite honestly, I'm not concerned with others' beliefs. What DOES concern me that is that someone like GJ would voice such an offensive opinion in a place where open-minded liberals obviously comprise the majority, not to mention the last religion poll we had had around 50% of us as atheists. It is so apparent that GJ is simply trying to upset others with his opinions. That's not to say that you should be restricted from voicing an unpopular opinion; however, if that opinion is blatantly offensive and incredibly likely to upset others, I think it's best kept to yourself, or at least to your small southern town of about 400 people that share your views 100%.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.

The end of the matter is this GJ: the Nazis hurt people, hell, anti-gay people hurt people... but being gay is a victimless act. Know one is forcing you to be gay, can't you just let them enjoy their own lives and not butt in? I disagree with a lot of what Christians say but I don't go around slagging them off because that isn't fair, they can believe what they like, they can be what they like, it's their life.
