  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don’t think sodomy should be illegal because you can’t enforce that.

You’re right. I do plenty of sinful things, but I don’t scream and demand people accept or approve of it.
Nobody is asking you to approve of it. Frankly, they don’t care if you approve or not. They’re asking to not be marginalized or treated differently. It’s not that big an ask.

Yeah, I don’t mind if he does convert to Catholicism and I’d rather he attend a school that upholds Christian values. Yeah, I want to protect him from all the woke ideology. I’m originally from Wales but now live in Portsmouth, which is on the south coast of England. Where are you from? :)
I live in Wisconsin (USA), adopted from Bulgaria at age 21 months. It is good that you are protecting your son, and are open to him converting to Catholicism to protect him from the public school system. Is Wales less or more woke compared to England?

So the Christian standard is that sex is okay as long as it is consensual? This is your position?
I feel like I’ve been clear on this… I’m not sure why this is so hard to understand. I do not have the hang up about sex that some Christians seem to. Frankly, anybody who says the Christian stance is that sex isn’t supposed to be fun hasn’t read the Bible very carefully, lol.

Being black and sodomy are not the same. One is the race you cannot choose.
One cannot choose to be gay either.
Are you saying most married couples have multiple partners and you advocate for that? Odd.
I’m saying that you’re hyperfixated on the trope that gay men cheat and that makes them gross, so by that logic, heterosexual marriages are gross too as a large number of those experience cheating.

Of course they want approval…otherwise they wouldn’t be promoting it.

So that makes it right to infect others? Okey doke.
Oh, were we so worried about “infecting others” when COVID was a thing.

Again, of all the things to worry about getting from sex, mpox isn’t it.

They want to be treated fairly and equally. They’ll be gay with or without your approval. It’s a bit self important to assume that the LGBTQA+ people of the world are waiting with baited breath for you to approve of them, lol.

No one said anything about sex not being fun. What's at issue here is your support for promiscuity. Why do you reject Christian sexual ethics on this issue?

Why do they have to have pride events then? If they just wanted to be treated fairly and equally, they wouldn’t make a big song and dance about it. They would be protesting instead. They’re having big parades instead with men prancing around dressed in ladies lingerie, it’s so weird.

I would say Wales is probably more woke than England unfortunately.

Thank you :). Prayers for the US too. I’ve heard it’s even worse over there? It’s sad the way the world is going.

I don’t support or not support promiscuity. I support people owning their sex lives and acting in a way that involves consent. If that means you die celibate, awesome. If that means you die having had 100 partners, awesome. It is not my job or particularly my interest to monitor or involve myself in other people’s sex lives. The only relevance that the number of partners one has had has for me is influencing if I would have sex with them, the rest is their business.

Pride events are to show that they exist and they’re proud of who they are. And, prepare to be shocked, but a large number of them who attend events for pride also attend protest events. They don’t make them choose one event of the other.
They’re having big parades instead with men prancing around dressed in ladies lingerie, it’s so weird.
If you think that’s weird, you apparently don’t get out much.

Why the hyper fixation on gay sexual practices, assumed, presumed, or actual? Don’t you think it a bit odd to be thinking about that if it’s not something you want to think about?

It is worse in the US. Way worse. That is where the woke movement started.

I'm confused. As a supposedly Christian woman you have no moral opinions on sexual conduct? Are you aware what Christianity teaches on the subject?

But if it's as normal as you suggest, why do they feel the need to turn it into such a big event? Why not live normally?

I'm not the one who's fixated on these things. You're the one who consistently comments on a Christian forum, intentionally stirring up controversy, fully aware that your view isn't the widely accepted Christian perspective.

Actually, I get out plenty and I talk to plenty of people and most of the people I know (I know a lot of people) think it’s weird.
