Yes ... right. If you'd like to at any point quote something that Jesus says rather than the hand-picked, canonized writings that were arranged and some discarded some 150 years after Jesus' death by people who never knew him and, given how inaccurate the Gospels are, were likely unfamiliar...

Mainly because your responses are completely inadequate, most of the time, and people just give up out of frustration. “It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17). Jesus clearly envisioned a society...

Well it's in Sydney. I'm more worried you'll spontaneously combust at the mention of scientific fact, really.

+1 Also, let me ask: What the fuck is your point? So the laws about homosexuality are just as applicable and 'accurate' as the laws the condone the rape, slaughter and enslavement of prisoners of war and other such barbarities. If anything this just confines homophobia in the Bible to the...

I would if I had people to go with. When/where is it? We could get a BoS contingent together! We'll invite Name_Taken! And unfortunately he seems to be back.

No worries. It's good to have at least one rational person to rely on in such discussions. :P

Y'know, the part where God loves us but watches us suffer in squalor and infection for 196,000 years with indifference and no real will to help in the slightest as thousands of generations of his creations die and suffer without the slightest bit of assistance, word or love from their loving...

Absolutely, 100% has to be a troll. No rational human being could ever possibly think this ever.

You literally could not have missed the point more if you tried.

Convenient? I don't think it is any way convenient at all, as I am not coming to interpret these facts with a pre-conceived notion or claim of supreme knowledge as to how things definitely are that operates within religion. You said I hadn't said anything correct in this thread and that such...

And I have already shown that you are wrong. The NT says nothing about homosexuality and Jesus goes to great lengths to say that you cannot ignore the OT at will.

Forgive my skepticism when I say that I highly, highly doubt it. What assertion have you corrected? The idea of evolution? The age of modern humans? The date of the first instances of religion? Once all the facts are arranged, the logical implications fall into place.

Feel free to correct any historical or scientific assertions I have made and back up your revisionism with evidence. Well it's not a swipe, it's pointing out one of many severe logical flaws in an ideology that prevents the progress of equality in our secular nation, and I would fairly say...

I'm not sure. Are you not religious? I sort of assumed with that reaction.

Playing the victim when I clearly neither said that nor singled out your particular religious nonsense at all is a really stupid thing to do.

It is, but I thought its purpose was more to discuss ideas and 'evidence' of God's existence, rather than discussing why religion has such an influence on a secular society.

I wouldn't even bother. He's spouting disgusting, unscientific bigotry and little else.

Very much so. Homosexual marriage, for instance, is prevented and held back by an almost exclusively religious discourse. You are right again. There is no controversy. It's like demanding that a teacher of Ancient History teach the controversy between those that believe the Romans exist and...

Not when it results in the oppression of others, there isn't, and not when this is a secular nation.

'Night. :)
