I asked you what god would have been behind Hitler.

No, you didn't. You asked "So which God / god do you think was with them?"

'Them' in this case was the German Army at a particular point in time.

I know many fundamentalists have this false notion that "religious freedom means, if I don't approve of something, nobody else should be allowed to do it in public because I don't want to have to see or hear it"...but that's not what it means. If people weren't allowed to express themselves in public in ways that other people didn't like out of fear of them being offended, then nobody would be allowed to do anything.
And in an atheist country any expression of Christianity can be disliked by the admins and can be proscribed.

In every country moral laws usually reflect the beliefs of founder and or current admins, and in a democracy, those of the people via electing (directly or indirectly) the interpreters of the founding or ruling documents. Thus this will mean that freedom means what the prevailing ideology (which usually flows from religion) hold as moral and beneficial. And as Christianity was at one time the overall "civil religion" in the USA, then thus evangelicals contend for laws that reflect traditional morality.

But as society has changed, thus we have the absurd idea that the Founders here (which esteemed the need for public morality, overall affirmed the necessity of religion for this) would affirm homosexual marriage, as well as porn being protected, etc..

Don't we often hear around here that it is God who ultimately chooses our rulers?
Sure, as blessings or judgments. You as omniscient have a problem with God doing so with His omniscience and omnipotence?

No it was their rulers.
And as for the semantic jugglery, don't pretend you didn't understand my question.
...which you still haven't answered...
but that's okay.

As posted, one confession:

after 25 years of claiming she was not indoctrinating anyone with pro homosexual beliefs, one activist honestly admitted to this being a lie. Canadian gay activist S. Bear Bergman, a female who identifies as a transgender male, stated, "All that time I said I wasn't indoctrinating anyone with my beliefs about gay and lesbian and bi and trans and queer people? That was a lie.” Bergman recounted that she was instructed as a young gay activist to tell concerned parents that she was “just providing an alternate viewpoint” when accused of engaging in “indoctrination and recruiting,” and to use “soft” language when speaking about homosexuality. In her article on the notoriously liberal web site, the Huffington Post, he went on to candidly confess that this indoctrination, "is absolutely my goal. I want to make your children like people like me and my family, even if that goes against the way you have interpreted the teachings of your religion." Bergman fantasized that in an ideal world he would have been "ushered into the world of queerness with care and tenderness by experienced homos" (akin to "camp counselors"), "and issued my leather jacket and my protest pins, my safer sex supplies..."

Bergman expressed that his goal was that of portraying to "impressionable young minds" the idea that "queers and transfolk are just as fine and lovely a kind of human as any other kind," and stated that he did not like the idea of sending her kid to schools where any kid could share with him their ideas about homosexuals. Thus Bergman, who believes that "books a kid hears at bedtime affect their sleep and also their dreams," is finalizing a series of children's books that all feature lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer kids or families, with the goal that the young readers come to believe that people like him and his family are "absolutely great," that "lesbian, gay, bi, queer, and trans people -- that we exist, that we're perfectly fine and often really excellent." Bergman then concludes, "If that makes me an indoctrinator, I accept it. Let me be honest -- I am not even a little bit sorry."[72]

Canada: Federal Prisons Ordered to Pay for Sex Changes
The accusation was that people were trying to indoctrinate kids into BECOMING gay or trans, not into ACCEPTING queer or trans people. And I’ll let my trans friends who can’t afford surgery know they just need to get sentenced to prison in Canada. LOL.

By whose definition? Or do you deny that there is a extensive authoritative source definition?
The Christian church has participated in all kinds of antisemetism over the years, not just in NAZI Germany.

It's not old.
This was fairly recent and something that has never been done before.
Programming toddlers.
Then what would you call a campaign like that?
Not to mention that the person looks demonic.Hold your horses amigo.
Nobody here said anything about being anti-gay.
It rather seems that you have been programmed to react that way when people have objections to promoting / pushing the LGBT narrative.
That's NOT the same as being "anti-gay".
It's probably you who is anti Christian.
Everything you teach a toddler is “programming.” We “program toddlers to share, and to say “please” and “thank you.” The biggest “programmer” of children is probably religion.

Actually, that gives no reason other than wickedness. Genesis never says what that wickedness is. Ezekiel DOES say.

Are you kidding me? You really don't see that those were homosexuals that wanted to "know" the angel, and that, that was the wickedness? are you really waiting for them to spell it out? That's the same almost scary classic denial i see often here on the same subject. People refuse to see what's right in front of them.

Here, read this, and first, tell me it doesn't mention homosexuality, minus the little games of denial.

Then tell me why they destroyed Sodom again, minus those same games. Open your eyes and see what's right in front of you, or not, your choice.

Genesis 19 Living Bible (TLB)
"19 That evening the two angels came to the entrance of the city of Sodom, and Lot was sitting there as they arrived. When he saw them he stood up to meet them, and welcomed them.

2 “Sirs,” he said, “come to my home as my guests for the night; you can get up as early as you like and be on your way again.”

“Oh, no thanks,” they said, “we’ll just stretch out here along the street.”

3 But he was very urgent, until at last they went home with him, and he set a great feast before them, complete with freshly baked unleavened bread. After the meal, 4 as they were preparing to retire for the night, the men of the city—yes, Sodomites, young and old from all over the city—surrounded the house 5 and shouted to Lot, “Bring out those men to us so we can rape them.”

6 Lot stepped outside to talk to them, shutting the door behind him. 7 “Please, fellows,” he begged, “don’t do such a wicked thing. 8 Look—I have two virgin daughters, and I’ll surrender them to you to do with as you wish. But leave these men alone, for they are under my protection.”

9 “Stand back,” they yelled. “Who do you think you are? We let this fellow settle among us and now he tries to tell us what to do! We’ll deal with you far worse than with those other men.” And they lunged at Lot and began breaking down the door.

10 But the two men reached out and pulled Lot in and bolted the door 11 and temporarily blinded the men of Sodom so that they couldn’t find the door.

12 “What relatives do you have here in the city?” the men asked. “Get them out of this place—sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone else. 13 For we will destroy the city completely. The stench of the place has reached to heaven and God has sent us to destroy it.”

14 So Lot rushed out to tell his daughters’ fiancés, “Quick, get out of the city, for the Lord is going to destroy it.” But the young men looked at him as though he had lost his senses.

15 At dawn the next morning the angels became urgent. “Hurry,” they said to Lot, “take your wife and your two daughters who are here and get out while you can, or you will be caught in the destruction of the city.”

16 When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety, outside the city, for the Lord was merciful.

17 “Flee for your lives,” the angels told him. “And don’t look back. Escape to the mountains. Don’t stay down here on the plain or you will die.”

Of what?
People finding their lifestyle wrong?
IS that an offence?
Is that illegal?
How about they themselves finding other people wrong and objectionable?
Or is that all of a sudden justifiable?They themselves choose to be different and show it off.
Not all of them of course.
They are the victims of employment discrimination (in many states it is still legal to fire someone for being gay,) bigotry driven violence (trans women are at risk of being MURDERED just for being trans,) and being treated by people like you as if they are disgusting, bad, sinful, and dirty just because of the way they were born. I could go on, but I think that is plenty.

Being attracted to the same sex is not a lifestyle. It’s how they were born.

So which God / god do you think was with them?
Or did you just want to take another cheap shot?
God wasn’t “with them,” but like you they used their god to defend their bigotry. That’s why religion should not be an excuse to violate the law.

“Sodomy” is not a biblical term. The Bible does talk about “sodomites” but those are people, not actions; and it never defines what makes them sodomites.


28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Lessor of two evils. You do understand raping either was detestable, right?

That is the very reason why Christian business owners shouldn't be allowed to use their biblical beliefs as an excuse to discriminate against gay couples and refuse them service in their PUBLIC business.
