[QUOTE=Pepin;28793623]It is ironic because many parts of The Bible tells you to be tolerant of others. Unless they are having sex with a dog, it tell you to kill them if they are doing that.[/QUOTE] It tells you to kill people for a lot of trivial reasons. It's an instruction manual for proper situations to commit mass murder.
"In a major U-turn from the Bush years, the Obama administration is actually initiating an 'anti-discrimination' resolution to force acceptance of the world's gays and lesbians." Thank God. Obama may just redeem himself from the entire Libya incident after all.
What a shame. Perfectly good brains, ROTTING from ignorance.
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;28795021]I believe it says not to accept them in the bible. If you're a Christian, you should know it is god's word.[/QUOTE] I am sad to know that I follow under the same party as you. Number one, capitalize God anytime you are talking about The God in the sense of The All Mighty Creator. Second, the bible is in NO WAY His word. It may be his inspiration, but it has been handed down generation through generation of mortal men. This automatically corrupts and disjoints it. Fuuu- automerge.

He initially reacted with caution and restraint, aware of America's track record in that region of the world, and you say he needs to redeem himself??

firstly, what exactly does radical atheist entail? secondly, in all seriousness organised religion needs to die thirdly, agnosticism is logical but boring

[QUOTE=Nick Nack;28796575]Do you pay any attention to your avatars before using them?[/QUOTE] I didn't want to assume that was what you meant. My bad.
Holy shit there are atleast eight different versions of the bible.

I guess they never heard of the little golden rule: "do unto others as you would them have do unto you". Though, I'm sure if the situation were reversed, and people somewhere thought practicing Christianity to be harmful to society, they'd ask for blood.

[QUOTE=Pepin;28793623]It is ironic because many parts of The Bible tells you to be tolerant of others. Unless they are having sex with a dog, it tell you to kill them if they are doing that.[/QUOTE] it tells the Jewish people ages ago to do that
[QUOTE=Zeke129;28796848]Well he did kick off a third war for America It's a small one but knowing how wars go it could easily become another Afghanistan[/QUOTE]Considering the reins have been handed over to NATO, the US involvement in the intervention is decreasing. It's never going to turn out like Afghanistan. Simply saying "LOL INTERVENTION = AFGHANISTAN/IRAQ/VIETNAM AND NOW LIBYA!" is silly, they all are very different from each other. Not least because the only reason this mission went ahead was due to the UN go-ahead, which specifically forbids ground troops. But enough of this, back to homos

[QUOTE=Wii60;28793828]uh im christian and i could give less a shit if gays marry.[/QUOTE] It's not like they will breed or anything.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;28797910]but you're already posting ehehee[/QUOTE]But.. but i thought you also liked it that way? My dreams are shattered :c
Oh, jeez. "Hey, everyone! Let's accept and love everyone for who they are!" "NO. JESUS TELLS ME TO LOVE EVERYONE. BUT GAYS DON'T COUNT. HE TELLS MEEE!"
[quote]A right-leaning Christian group is outraged that that an Obama administration joint statement with the United Nations opposes the criminalization of homosexuality.[/quote] WHAT?! Are you fucking serious? Jesus christ, free lobotomies for those people please!
how dare you discriminate my discrimination
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;28795804]What?[/QUOTE] You've never read it, have you?
Christians make my fucking blood boil.
[QUOTE=SeverePapercut;28793656]oh my god says gays should be killed, kinda droped the ball on this one obama by the way i live in ohio which is full of fundi Christians so i hear this every day "obama trying to destroy amerikaaaa *grumbles*"[/QUOTE] Ohio? Jeez, I thought South Carolina was bad. At least most people keep there traps shut.
I don't get why he's trying to force other countries to accept gays, most developed countries do, America is just behind by about a decade.

[quote]just as they have the freedom to legislate against any behavior they think is harmful to society," FRC continued.[/quote] oh god what they're supporting a government's "god given right" to oppress its own people? what the fuck
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;28793954]Athiesm is not a bandwagon.[/QUOTE] No, but jumping all over anyone who says anything not antichristian is a bandwagon
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;28801836]oh god what they're supporting a government's "god given right" to oppress its own people? what the fuck[/QUOTE] to them it isn't oppression. technically, in their eyes it is more of a "countries should be able to make moral decisions about what they think is right and wrong and by extension good and bad to society" thing than anything. as they believe homosexuality is a moral wrong that hurts people, they think legislation should be able to be made against it. It's similar to, say, anti drug legislation. While many drugs don't technically hurt people, at least in the long term or to a noticeable degree, they feel that it is morally wrong and harms society as a whole for those drugs to be legal. even if it does take away the people's rights to it. (Technically, any right not granted or taken away is considered granted.) Basically, just replace the context of it with drugs instead of homosexuals and it seems more like something an honest person would say. [editline]25th March 2011[/editline] It's still bullshit, and I'm not defending them. I just feel that an explanation of how they see it is in order.
[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;28801920]No, but jumping all over anyone who says anything not antichristian is a bandwagon[/QUOTE] Shut the fuck up, holy shit. Who actually does that that doesn't get criticized by the rest of the "fp atheists"?
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;28795036]Wow, that was all over the place. Pretty much all of what you said was irrelevant, the bandwagon thing was about people being atheists for the sake of being cool or some stupid shit, not... all of that. I don't think anyone here would say that every single atheist is rational.[/QUOTE] Most of it was retorting predicted responses. It may seem random, but I've been in a lot of these type discussions and if I didn't type those out, I would have gotten those type arguments thrown back at me. I think I was also arguing against the implied point that Atheism cannot be a bandwagon because it is rational based movement. I'm not sure if that was implied, but I thought so when typing up my response. You are changing the term "bandwagon" to "being cool" which still doesn't change much because I addressed that in the first paragraph. There are many people who are Atheists because of social factors: because everyone else is. Those people are hopping on the bandwagon. These types of people can state their beliefs and make the basic arguments, but usually don't have the ability to go much beyond that. I don't think that it is anything big because it happens with everything, but I don't think you can say it doesn't happen with this particular group.
