@indonesia-phil saidI dont think you understand the meaning of the word discrimination. It is not discrimination to point out that the Bible refers to homosexuality as a sin. Neither is it discrimination to point out that there are countries that execute homosexuals. These are just facts. Whether or not you approve is of no relevance. I have discriminated against nobody.
No, you don't get away with that. I don't need to personally know someone who is homosexual to know that discrimination against homosexuals is wrong. Since no rational person reading the bible in any kind of objective way would believe that that what is written therein has any relevance to the world in which we now live, and the deeper understanding that we now have, o ...[text shortened]... ut the world around you. Thus do you attempt to defend the morally indefensible How's that for bias?
People choose their lifestyle and they will face whatever consequences are associated with their choices. These are simple facts of life.
@wolfgang59 saidYour question is stupid.
You cannot answer the simplest question from me yet want to
lecture Phil on his comprehension of "discrimination"! That's rich.
@wolfgang59 saidYou are an unbelieving atheist. Not only that, you have in the past ridiculed those who believed in God. There are atheists on this site who have not done this and these often ask reasonable and sensible questions, and I respond. Your aim is not to understand Christians but to belittle and humiliate. Therefore I am keeping the instruction from Christ to walk away from discussions with people like you about how and why I believe in God.
Just answer my question please.
The reason [I suspect] why Jesus instructs followers to do this is because there are some who are hopelessly lost, and it would be pointless to pursue discussions with them. I do not know who these people are, only God knows. All atheists are not lost. There are some who through good conscience live good and righteous lives and these are, without knowing it, following God.
Find some other Christian to harass.
@rajk999 saidI'm not harassing.

Just discussing ... that is what the forums are for.
I'm not disrespecting you or your religion just curious.
How does god communicate with you?
@rajk999 saidFunny how all it takes is some disagreement, and you're suddenly off the reservation with him. You sound like him, to be frank.
Your comments are childish. Your posts lack substance. All you do is ask nonsense questions designed to twist what the bible says clearly because you do not agree with what is said. You let yourself down in every single thread.

Funny. I thought, according to you, that you were the only Christian here. Others are merely "church" Christians and "mouth worshippers", right? Aren't you off the beaten path here, attacking atheists?
@rajk999 saidTo begin at your end, being heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual is not a lifestyle choice, any more than is having blue eyes or brown eyes. That is one of your simple facts of life, which was not so well understood during biblical times but is now understood well enough, and there would only be your referred - to associated consequences if you believe in a god.

By you own admission your so beloved bible refers to homosexuality as a sin, and advocates stoning to death of homosexuals, which I think we can agree may be said to be discriminatory. All I am asking is whether or not you agree with your bible, a reasonable and sensible question to which according to you you respond, so respond.
We know that you think it's a good idea to beat children because your bible says that it is, may we make the same assumption regarding the killing of homosexuals? If not, say so.

@rajk999 saidThe bible does refer to homosexuality as a sin. After Lot's wife is turned to salt, Lot's daughters both sleep with their father which is incest.
