LGBTQ+ People Take Up Arms as Fears of Right-wing Hate Groups Grow

[Belk]

Outgunned? I'd say the LGBTQ+ community is rather fringe here.

Why would they need to take up arms anyway? Like, "use my pronouns or ill shoot you in the face"

LGBT people nearly four times more likely than non-LGBT people to be victims of violent crime​

LGBTQ make up a pretty small fraction of people living in America overall, Belk. Your citation is nonsense.

Since they amount to a minority I guess their experience of violent crime doesn’t matter then.

What does the amount of representation in the population have to do with their experiencing higher levels of violent crime?

…or has unspoken approval.

Do you understand what the word 'likely' means in this context?

It discusses the story regarding a 13-year old who murdered a woman without provocation. Tell me your thoughts:

I can't until I know what drove the child to do what she did.

You seem to be completely oblivious to how you come across. Utterly unaware. I'm done with you.

Maaan. No you are not. This is not the first time you have said that. You come back for more. Glutton for punishment.

Let me ask you this, would you be against someone considering poverty itself and hunger itself to be abominations?

No. But poverty and hunger and not intrinsic traits.

I'm trying to understand your response to Belk. What level of Math are you proficient in?

People turn to Christianity because they realize they need help from a God

I dunno ma'am, people can manage just fine not believing in God. I would submit that a belief in God as a result of hardship is a psychological safety behaviour. Having an unshakable conviction that everything will turn out alright is fantastic as a coping strategy.

I know we disagree but can you see where I am coming from?

Do you enjoy gaslighting people?

Let me ask you a question. Are you offended at the Bible?

'your niece and others who are sinners, so they can turn from their evil way.'

Again, you know nothing about her. I don't want you talking about her in that way.

You are right I do not. And I’m not talking solely about her but i will take her out of the conversation and any examples i use. Even though you brought her into our conversation

When you see the news everyday. Mass shootings and so forth. How can you think this world is ok without a God.

Why do you say I’m gaslighting him?

I’m just doing what he has done to others on this forum.

According to Christians, the world has never been without God and yet humans have always been prone to violence. Existence of God or not doesn’t seem to make a difference.

We’re the most religious and most violent first world country, not tea a strong argument in favor of religiosity leading to better outcomes.

The reason being US has steered towards Paganism. They are not spiritual anymore.
