Discriminating against homosexuals

@eladar said
It is only a matter of time before Christians are slaughtered for being Christian.

What scenario do you imagine and what would it have to do with favouring discrimination against homosexuals?

Citation, please.

Some Christians seem to have such slippery logic (let alone faulty logic) and are so prone not only to reframing and misstating other people's beliefs, but also misstating their own beliefs when caught in a logical bind.

Looking forward to @eladar's reply, but for a long time I have thought:

Christianity without persecution is like waffles without maple syrup.

Really? Wow you are just here to have fun. You and FMF have fun high fiving each other. Neither of you are here to discuss but just to have fun demanding answers.

Bounce your ball you have exposed yourself as untruthful.

Have I demanded answers? Why not just disregard my putative demands?

FMF and I are not high-five-ing each other. We have not coordinated behind the scenes -- plus, I have never really been into high-fives or other sports-related gestures or memes.

But let's not let different cosmoconceptions come between us. Obviously we believe differently, but we on Earth most likely have no idea what is really going on behind the scenes despite our borrowed and personal certainties.

What are beliefs but ancient memes and our own recombinations? How do the Tinkertoys of thought relate to what's really going on behind the scenes and right in front of us?

My sincere regrets if you feel hurt by this discussion.

Any religion is free to make up its own bizarre rules.

I don't think any church, denomination or congregation should be compelled to do it.

Good points. caesar salad made a crisply simple point earlier too. I have been ambivalent about this issue in the past ~ much to robbie carrobie's surprise and much to certain friends' chagrin ~ but I think I am changing my mind.

He didn't claim that. You wrongly inferred it.
