http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefsreversecross.htmThe satanist mass is a direct inverted copy of the catholic mass and the inverted cross (from a satanist perspective) is a sacrilegeous act that is meant to deny christ.
But you are wrong about thatThe inverted cross has been a very holy christian symbol for a long time. One of the Apostles (Peter, I believe) was crucified upside-down. Catholics, especially, have no problem with an inverted cross.
You of course have proof that the catholics have no problem with it?
The reversed cross, also known as the cross of St. Peter, has also been used as an emblem of Satanism, although more often by non-satanists than believers.Please note I said satanist perspective.....I would link you to a satanist site, but I will not bring the enemy here.
Wrong, haven't you read anything in this thread?
It's your right to be wrong, but why in the hell wqould you want to be wrong?
Shoot, if i'm still reading much of what JesusWalks, Karate, Defensor and others have to say you can darn well guarantee I wouldn't be putting you on ignore
I assume he just means your opinion is more along the fundamentalist lines, which is in opposition to his beliefs.And what exactly have you got against us?
I used to believe it represented a broken cross, but this is actually a post-hoc attribution. It was designed to be a combination of the semaphore signs for N and D, for "Nuclear Disarmament".A symbol has no power but that which is given to it by the person using or viewing it.
My mother gave me a comic book by Jack Chick when I was younger that claimed the "peace sign" of the sixties...
...ws really a satanist symbol showing how initiates into satanism were handed an upside-down cross and had to break the crossbars downward. I don't think that's what all those hippies meant, do you?
And what exactly have you got against us?
And unlike cussing, statements expressing hatred of gays are not censored on this board, unless they are directed to a specific person.because what they say is so vile and hateful that i'd rather not let myself become riled from reading it. It's just like a christian who would ignore someone who constantly used the term GD.
Sometimes you have to be wrong. Being wrong is a mistake. You learn from your mistakes. Life is a test and we're here to learn.
And I'm not going to answer your first question, because I'm here to express my opinion in this thread. Not to argue with you.
Can you show me one example of where someone said they hate people with SSA?And unlike cussing, statements expressing hatred of gays are not censored on this board, unless they are directed to a specific person.
That's stating a fact. People with same sex attractions do have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex, and I don't have the right to marry someone of the same sex either. It doesn't matter who you're attracted to, because marriage isn't about attractions. If I fell in love with my sister, I could not marry her. I cannot marry a minor either. I cannot marry someone who is already married, etc. If you think that stating a fact is antagonizing then I recommend a little self examination.Ranging from antagonizing statements such as "gays have the right to marry, just someone of the opposite sex"
I have never seen anyone on this board say in any seriousness that people with SSA should be jailed. Maybe at one point in time they were jesting or trying to provoke you, but people on this board simply do not believe in that.to terms such as "sodomites" and going on into realms of discussion including the jailing or other restrictions on the liberty of homosexuals.

As far as "sodomites". It refers to someone who engages in sodomy. It is an accurate description of someone who does that behavior. If I ride bicycles, then calling me a biker is not hateful. All we are doing is accurately describing reality. If this term does no fit with PC Newspeak, then oh well.
We're also considering frequency.Then call the married folks who engage in sodomy Sodomites as well. If the people in question actually do engage in sodomy, the term would be accurate. However, when you use it to mean gays and not simply everyone who does it (including lots and lots of married couples) that's where it becomes offensive. It's akin to focusing on black armed robbers. It may be a technically correct term for a very specific subgroup, but the term appears to be singling out one group when they're not the only ones to do a particular action.

Anyway, when it comes to tolerance, I think that very often the people who espouse that virtue are the worst violators. As in "Do what I say, not as I do", or "You have to tolerate us but we don't have to tolerate you"
It has been shown that virtually all men with SSA engage in sodomy on a regular or near regular basis. Most married couples do not do so at near the same frequency, if at all. Going back to the biker analogy: i have ridden a bike, but I am not a biker in the same sense that Lance Armstrong is.
