to label us all as sinners is a little impolite, i think. if the church has called you personally a sinner ask yourself why? you are responsible for your own actions, don't presume to find me guilty of your own predjudices and faults. ...[text shortened]... ier ride. but personally i enjoy coming to my own conclusions.
Originally posted by XanthosNZYou didn't notice anywhere that I said I hated gays....as for the verse you're looking for, look it up....any verse will do....
OK I'll admit my mistake there. I scanned your post noticed the bit where you said you hated gays and didn't read the context.
So what part of the bible do you use to call homosexuality a sin? I ask because I know what the commonly used verses are but which one does it for you?
Originally posted by catfoodtimPriests are not representatives of God. Those are prophets and saints. Priests are mediums and defenders of the doctrine of the church that they celebrate in. Rejecting God is an action in which someone deliberately exercises their freewill against their conscience.
and out of curiousity, would you think that by questioning the actions god's representatives on earth and not liking what i see, i am questioning god? or even rejecting god?

The problem is you conservatives don't have a philosophy:
You just believe everything which is spoon fed to you. (From the media, the book of lies - aka the bible, etc)
This is why you are so full of it, and are incapable of having a rational, reasonable debate.
You have not learnt to philosophise!
Originally posted by howardgeeLOL. In my own country I am considered a "leftist liberal".
..and you are basing this unsubstantiated claim on which grounds?
Thank you for proving my point about Conservatives (such as yourself) and their lack of reasoning/arguing ability.
You want to talk about lack of reasoning ability?

Let's take some quotes from Bbar from the aforementioned thread regarding your reasoning:
"You are simply confused on this point."
"You have made an elementary error in reasoning here, as should now be obvious."
"You are still making the same simple error."
I agree entirely with what Bbar wrote here, and I also have a first in Philosophical logic.
However, you still cannot see your basic mistake.
Some are so blind that they cannot see!

Btw, why do you feel you need to parade your qualifications before us "Conservatives"? Are you afraid we will not recognise your intellectual prowess without those qualifications?

PS: I see bbarr has not yet responded to the my last post in that thread. Since you're a fellow "philosopher", care to show me the error of my thinking?

Originally posted by catfoodtimhey i can understand that. it's like looking up to someone just shattered yur ideals of yur god. well. even if u r not walking in 2 the church i don't think yur salvation will be touched at all. u'll live on thinking and doing what u wish. u b'lieve enough god will except n e body right? he wouldn't shatter yur faith would he at the gates of heaven just b'cause u refuse to follow his word thru another?
