    Born gay?

    I didn't mean to imply that all Christians who oppose homosexuality are bigots, just that those who emotionally assault homosexuals for it are.

    Born gay?

    If homosexual practice offends you, I'm sorry. If you truly believe that homosexuals choose to be homosexuals, then I suppose it can't be helped. However, in my opinion, although the concept can disgust theists, it feels to me like it's worse for theists to impose their disapproval on the...

    Born gay?

    Not so. It can be riddled with lust from time to time, but it's really just a stronger manifestation of the love you should feel for your neighbors.

    Born gay?

    You can be homosexual without having sex. I only contend that a man can love another man in the same way he would love his wife as a heterosexual. There's a distinction between the love you should hold for your wife and the love you should hold for your neighbor. I think the same distinction...

    Born gay?

    I intend on giving Christianity another shot later in life. I'm aware that when the true hardships that exceed difficult term papers arise, I will most likely turn back to faith to some degree.

    Born gay?

    I wouldn't say I've closed my mind "quickly". I was a Christian for the first 17 years of my life, and I meditated extensively before deciding I didn't believe in God. You can keep your beliefs and I'll keep mine, but don't assume that I made my decision in a hasty, unsure manner.

    Born gay?

    No problem.

    Born gay?

    I meant "adultery" in the layman's terms, rather than the Biblical definition. I'm aware that your god considers homosexual marriage and practice are unholy, but my own opinionated idea of marriage is between two consenting humans of any sex. This modifies my own idea of adultery. Sorry for...

    Evolution Versus Devolution

    Same here. I legitimately thought he was probably a bot, given the single-sentence, irrelevant replies. His replies reminded me of cleverbot.

    Born gay?

    We're talking about the real world here. If you observed the lives of homosexuals, you'd find that the amount of adulterous homosexuals is equal or less than the amount of adulterous heterosexuals. No amount of adultery as a heterosexual will lead to homosexuality, which you would understand...

    Should churches in America pay taxes?

    Thank you very much. I salivate at the thought of all the money I'll make from my new religion.

    Should churches in America pay taxes?

    As long as I can have a tax exemption on that funny money, since they pass them out to everyone who wants to talk about their imaginary friend for an hour every week.
