[QUOTE=bIgFaTwOrM12;45822397]This is what happens when Christians think that we as humans have a choice to be good or evil, Christian teaching is that we are all corrupt. The closest we can come to controlling our sinful natures is through living a chased life, essentially trying to mediate our thoughts and behaviours. Revealing that it is within human nature to be evil is useless if you have not revealed resulting thoughts and acts to be evil. ALso of course physical assault is in no way the right action to take in such a situation.[/QUOTE] the closest we can come to controling sin is ironically educating people better being massively religious causes massive amounts of violence. Religious people either need to choose to read a book and understand that the scientific method is simply a method of understanding or stay away from our education system completely.

Christians simply need to understand their own theology before they shame God in the eyes of unbelievers. It is the act of sexual immorality they should be exposing as evil, not the temptation to commit it.
[QUOTE=bIgFaTwOrM12;45822397]Christian teaching is that we are all corrupt.[/QUOTE] Scripture is completely irrelevant. When it comes to issues of religion most people take positions that they already hold but can't reasonably justify and just use god to justify them. Some people just don't like to think about that stuff. A bigoted religious asshole and a religious guy who is accepting of everybody both use the same books to justify their actions. Its interesting how we never really see "I don't think gays are evil anymore, guess I just disagree with god on this one". We always see people act as if god had a change of heart, coincidently just when they did.

I can't watch this beyond 20 seconds, I already have enough anxiety over how my parents are going to react
I'm truly disgusted.
These people make me sick, I don't want them to live if they feel this is an appropriate way to treat someone different from them - they don't deserve to exist.

People are a product of their environment and ignorance breeds ignorance, hardly a reason to say someone shouldn't exist.

But I do appreciate what you are saying.
More information: He's got a boyfriend who's trying his best to help him, he's staying with a friend and their parents are supportive and he can stay there long term. He's 19 years old, working and going to school, so looks like soon enough he'll be safe and a long way away. And the way this is going on reddit, his parents are in a whole lot of trouble. I just hope no one does anything stupid in the meantime.
Shit like this is why I carry a gun, especially when I am with my boyfriend in public. To put this into context, I am in Tennessee. Now, Tennessee ain't so bad, but you still gotta be careful. However, Kentucky is the place you have to worry about more, and I go there a lot too. It's really quite unnerving to see behavior like this. One of my friends who is a drill sergeant got assaulted by 3 guys with knives because he was wearing an MLP shirt, and thought he was gay. Thankfully he had his gun on him, and when he drew it they ran away. The south can be awesome, but the behavior of intolerant people really makes it look bad, and causes fear that does not need to exist.

Holy shit this terrifies me, my mom is pushing me to come out to my dad preferably before I get HRT, since we don't know if our insurance will cover it and she doesn't make a lot of money. These people will swear up and down that they love you, and will support everything you do, until for some reason you don't fit their worldview and all that supposed help and support falls away.
My heart goes out to the poor guy. edit: it appears he's staying with his friend, and good on him for doing so.
[QUOTE=Emugod;45822379]Even though they're probably 50%-80% of the source of my anxiety/depression problems (through genetics, environment), they're family, and I can't find it in myself to leave them indefinitely (cut all contact, etc.) They've done so much for me, and it'd put so much burden and guilt on me if I did.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't cut contact to them if it'd hurt you, but maybe get some distance and talk to somebody who can help you. A lot of people close to me are depressed, and it's a really bad deal.
God damn it what a fucking ungrateful little faggot. Not only is he obviously looking for drama, typical of the gays to be a drama queen(otherwise why would he record it), he is also a fucking disgrace and embarrassment to his family. I mean look at it this way, his family raised him, paid for his school, put food in his mouth, loved him, everything. Hoping that one day he'd marry a beautiful girl and have children and build a family and continue on. But no he chooses to throw it all away and stick his dick in other dudes/get fucked up the ass. He deserves everything that was done to him and more, he is just fucking lucky he's not underage, his family should've disowned him long ago. And of course faggotpunch will defend him, I don't get why there are so many faggot lovers these days. This video makes me fucking sick, this fucking faggot has probably destroyed his family, just imagine how the parents will be now, all the things they done for this ungrateful little shit, wasted... Fucking faggots need to be exterminated. [editline]a[/editline] Furthermore, it is so fucking obvious that he's doing it for the drama, the way he fucking sets up the camera and starts inciting shit. I wouldn't be surprised if the little cunt sues his own family. The dad should've smashed the camera in his face, that's what I'd do, or worse.

[QUOTE=Duck M.;45822034]This shit makes me so fucking angry, holy shit. These people should be fucking reported to CPS. It makes me SO FUCKING ANGRY that people are this ignorant in 20 and FUCKING 14. People this idiotic should not be allowed to be parents, EVER. The fact that they're shoving their intolerant asses onto their children is the most horrible thing I can think of. And this shit happens every god damn day. "I'm not going by Science, I'm going by the word of God". How about you follow your word of god and love your son you sack of shit?[/QUOTE] It's annoying every time I hear someone say '' It's 20xx, people shouldn't be this ignorant by now.'' It's always been a bad thing and there will always be ignorant people, you can't change human nature and there will always be some backwoods hick with a stupid opinion on something. Don't expect shit to start getting better over time because it won't unless people do something about it. That being said, I can't really blame the people in this video for the way they act. They were most likely raised in the bible belt and probably have had no exposure to what you would consider an open minded society.

I can't imagine my parents ever being so ignorant and living inside their own little perfect bubble. I feel for the guy.

If you disagree with gays being marked as victims after destroying their fucking family, you are automatically a troll. Everyone defends the faggots, like it's their right to do anything they please if it's related to their faggotry. I don't care if you stick your dick in men's butthole, but you don't tell your family that you do it and you shouldn't be a fucking drama queen. Gays can do what they do sure, but when faggots like this act like drama queens, talk like fucking faggots and behave like faggots in public and on top of all destroy their families. Well he deserves a fucking beating. You can't disagree with faggots today, otherwise you're a very evil person and a troll

Like hating people for being born with blue eyes. It's only the parents who decided to react like this.
[QUOTE=EcksDee;45823093]Well truth be told you are kinda evil for hating people who have no choice. Like hating people for being born with blue eyes.

No one's holding a gun to his head and forcing him to be gay, he was not always gay.
[QUOTE=BananaChops;45822953]waah[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://puu.sh/bbcde/0431017381.png[/IMG] Did you join just to say that? I can't tell if you're actually an alt of someone or what. get the fuck over it if someone prefers to fuck their own gender instead of the opposite, it's something so little
Yes because I will obviously get banned since this place is so pro faggot. You can't disagree without being branded as a troll and getting banned. As I said, it's fine if they fuck each other in private. It's not fine if they act like faggots, just listen to his voice. It's not fine to do it in public, I don't go to a park to see two faggots kissing. And it's certainly not fine to do what he did to his family.

This is very well documented.
Its funny, the own lady who believes so much in Christianity that needs to assault her own gay son because " ur gay" will go to hell someday. Extreme believers in Christianity are some of the worst fucking people I swear to god
