Citing Charlie Kirk murder, Tennessee pastor demands removal of 'Hate Has No Home' signs

[RileyG]

Exactly. And if someone has been invited to my home and they are introduced to a gay person or a person who is trans, if they then say anything derogatory about them they'll be immediately escorted to the front door. If they can't be civil to my friends and family then they are persona non grata.

Agreed. Shouldn't adults act like adults?

 

[RileyG]

You don’t have to support them. Just don’t say any thing about it. Is that too much to ask?

When I meet people I don’t start telling them how to live their lives or that they are abominations etc.

I'm in agreement with you, then. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. From Disney's great classic, BAMBI.

 

[Bradskii]

Indeed. So if someone says that they are disgusted by my gay friend, then they're shown the door.

Yup.

Some people just need to learn basic manners. It's not difficult.

So if someone mentions a gay relative then saying that his lifestyle 'disgusts me to no end' would be the wrong thing to say.

If you are referring to me, I have many issues with my brother because he has been harmed a lot. Many of it was due to his own actions. It deeply saddens me, and I do have a right to feel disgusted by what he has done to himself. I often fear for his own safety because of some of his actions, which I won't share because it's too personal.

In polite company, of course, it would be wrong.

Peace

I sort of butted in. Though

Hey this is a public forum. We all butt in. It should be expected. If people dont want someone butting in there is always PM. This is public where anyone can read what you say and respond to what they say.

I think the point was in personal company, people don’t necessarily share their personal views. At least in Europe, people don’t share their religious or political views openly?

That’s why some people view America as “extremely religious,” when in reality, it greatly varies?

I don’t know.

 

[rjs330]

I never said it did. But bringing it up in conversation where your religious rules were not asked for is just plain rude. No one not of your faith cares about your faith.

You don’t need to bring it up at all.

I disagree. On a public forum where everyone can read and reply to your post its not rude at all.

Now if you were on the street talking to someone and I just walked up and started putting in, I would say its rude no matter what I said. Some rando putting into your private conversation.

But this is not that.

I think Larnivac is English, so his experiences is much different from us Americans.

It’s a CULTURAL difference? If I’m following ok?

Of course, he can correct me if I’m wrong.

IN OTHER WORDS, in everyday casual conversation, people don’t NECESSARILY talk about religion because it’s seen as a private affair. If I’m making sense.

I actually know of an Evangelical woman who feels the need to share her faith as much as possible so she can “save” people.

To most everyday people, it can come off as odd.

I’m in the United States, so maybe that’s why there’s a difference? I don’t know.

I DO agree with what you are stating though. Absolutely!

 

[rjs330]

Yes and very annoying, too. Can’t you just mind your own business?

Nope I cant. I am supposed to share the gospel. So, no, I can't and won't. You dont have to listen and can ignore.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”-Jesus Christ.

It also goes both ways. If people don’t want to hear about LGBT et al, they might think it’s annoying. I’m only playing devil’s advocate.

(Of course, personally, I respect everyone’s right to live as they want and will defend that right).

Neither do I. I have worked with gay people my entire career. Never once told them they were an abomination. But given an opportunity I will share the gospel.

THIS is a discussion and debate forum. I never once asked your opinion on transgender people, but you and all the other leftists give it anyway.

And being this is a CHRISTIAN forums its something you should expect.

If I may add, there are plenty of gay people who are celibate and devout Christians, or don’t even use the term “gay” because it’s so politicized. Some even see it as insulting.

Becket Cook is one man.

Which is fine, but they dont have a problem at all with pushing their ideology on the rest of us through rhe force or law and any other method available.

But then they decide to get all annoyed when we speak up.

If they would just do their thing and not push the agenda and ideology of leftist ideas we wouldn't have an issue. Bit thats not what they have done and it's not what they are doing.

And I'm speaking politically here.

Yes, I have said ALL along, that being or feeling gay is not a sin. Acting on it is. Yes there are homosexual Christians who remain celibate.
