:shrug: I’m not sure which of my posts you find intolerant. Let me know which one, and I’ll be happy to discuss it with you.
I preach nothing. I do not roll my eyes at Christianity. I do not accept the idea of spellcraft–and no more than a bare handful of regular posters here do.
You do not know me, child. Do not presume to guess my morals. I do not openly embrace halloween.
Politically correct? Hmmm. Nope.
No.
Nnnnope.
Nope again.
Firstly, deal with it. You came here, for what you believe to be good and righteous reasons. But you can leave all of the evil homersexurals any time you wish.
Secondly, it might do you well to spend some time with the scriptures, reading precisely what is said about sexual immorality of all sorts, and homosexuality in particular. Listen to the Spirit, not Man.
I think Brother SBJ has an excellent point about aggressive homosexuals.
Why I bet he can’t count the number of times you (yes, YOU! Esprix), Gobear, Andygirl and all the other gay dopers have oppressed me, personally.
As a matter of fact, I’ll bet Brother SBJ couldn’t count to the number of times you’ve flaunted yourself at me, the number of times you’ve agressively gayed me or the number of times you’ve attempted to undermine my heterosexuality in an attempt to convert me to your heathen lifestyle choice.
SBJ has been tossing post-leaflets into a few Pagan threads as well. All so far appear to be drive-bys.
But that’s not important right now. What I really need to know is…iampunha, do you have any Lady Godiva with you? Come closer… [sub]sniff sniff[/sub]. Don’t hold out on us…[sub]slaver, drool[/sub]
Ehrm. Sorry. I snap right into creepy stalker mode when the Lady is mentioned.
Because it’s the one most popular in promoting hate and intolerance?
Because we also embrace pagan rituals like Christmas and Easter, and we’re equal-opportunity embracers.
No, we just hate the annoying ones, like you. And the idiot fundamentalist vulture in my office who’s sticking up flyers saying “You must convert to Christianity or further 9/11 atrocities will happen!”
Because it makes you feel all icky inside, like when Brother Bob touches you wrong.
See above. Plus I have a weakness for frightening gullible idiots. And of course my devil-master does require at least three Xtian babies a month to enable me to meet my payroll.
Hobby. Got bored watching TV.
No, it’s entirely personal, I hate you. Or so says my devil-master. Do you have a child?
Well, the whole devil-master thing puts a kibosh on that. Damned click through contracts nowadays, you never know what you’re signing up for. My soul, your soul, limited liability and no warranty.
Yes, of course. But only on every second Thursday after drinking the blood of newborns. It’s really not Kosher/Halal but ripping children from the womb has tax implications.
No, I’m sure they deliberately turn away from you. (Until the 3rd Thursday when we need to get some good Xtian newborns.)
Sorry, again that damned click through contract contains a rider regarding that.
Actually, the vast majority of the posters to this site, in my experience here, are not filled with intolerance. The self-righteous witnessers, on the other hand, certainly exemplify intolerance.
Because not everyone who loves and not everyone who is tolerant is Christian, many people preach those from their traditions.
Beg pardon? Asserting that the Christian viewpoint (whatever “the Christian” is; there are very many flavours of Christianity) is not supported here by at least some of the more prominent posters is a lie. I do seem to recall that there’s a commandment against that whole false witness schtick. I presume you will be willing to identify yourself now as a member of The Church of the Nine Commandments.
We don’t all do either of those. Yet again, you lie.
Evidently your morals are fairly lax. My morality considers it immoral to lie.
Why do so many Christians openly embrace pagan rituals like Easter and Christmas and a lot of the traditions attached to them?
A good number of the more prominent (by that, I mean “more prolific” and also “well known by the board membership”) posters here not only practice their faith but have managed to both explain it to folks here and to also discuss rationally, and without resorting to lies (which is your method), the different avenues of faith represented by the board membership.
What are you talking about? You already asserted that people here don’t believe stuff without evidence but now you’re asserting that they do?
Incorrect. Being a Christian myself (but I’m willing to bet you’re going to tell me straightaway that I’m not since I’m a Latter-day Saint), I kind of like Christianity. It’s my faith, after all.
Don’t hate the Christian lifestyle. Hate those who feel that they must lie about them and us here to prove to themselves we’re scum of the Earth when we’re not. Actually, I don’t hate those such as you; more like I’m annoyed at y’all.
And you’re supposed to follow that there commandment, since you’re a Christian, now aren’t you?
Why should we? After all, we are not as you portray us and it is you, not we, who are disobeying the deity you purportedly worship. I’m still at a loss as to how that’s honoring that deity. Enlighten me, please.
Why? Are you afraid they’re after your “hot body?” Very much proof exists to show that homosexuality is not a chosen lifestyle, but rather a genetic tendency (will another poster more knowledgeable about that verify/correct/expand please?). Whilst it is true my church teaches that homosexual activity is sinful, it does not teach that homosexuals are the embodiment of sin. But it is also true that my church also teaches that heterosexual activity (like premarital sex) outside of marriage is sinful.
Oh, so some have propositioned you and you accepted? Odd, that, since you’re so concerned about the lifestyle.
Anyway, it’s none of your business what goes on in someone else’s bedroom. You see, when I get married, there’s absolutely zero chance I’ll be asking you what I may and may not do with my spouse BECAUSE IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. You don’t like homosexual acts, don’t accept the proposition.
If you’re limiting “the scriptures” to just the Holy Bible, you’re incorrect. Now, we LDS have a bit more to tell us not to do that stuff but that’s still just our business, NOT YOURS.
The Holy Quran warns us against people such as you:
The Holy Bible tells us:
Joseph Smith Jr announced to all and sundry:
Alma warned us:
Isn’t there something in the Bible about taking the Lord’s Name in vain?
Probaly was running late for the Church Haunted house.
Look! It’s a unmarried woman! Having a baby! shudder
You know, a lot of church haunted Houses suck. But my Grandmother’s Church (Birdville Baptist Church…Oldest congregation in Tarrant{Ft. Worth} county!) has always been cool. Since age three or so.
I’ve been here for quite some time and as a Christian, found people to be very tolerant of my beliefs. However a possible explanation could be that in america (where most of the posters here are from) Christians have a bad reputation for being intolorant of any other “non-wholesome” group.
Because we’re smart. Lax morals are fun. Halloween is fun. How does dressing up like a hobo or a ghost and getting candy door-to-door threaten one’s belief in Christ? It’s only a Pagan ritual if you treat it as one. If you approach it as a fun way to spend a night I don’t see a problem. Christmas Day also has its roots in non-Christian religions, but it’s all in the manner you approach and believe in the holiday.
I’m sorry, can you rephrase this in a coherent manner? I don’t understand what you’re getting at.
I don’t think they hate all Christians. Just the judgmental ones telling everyone else how to live.
I am very ashamed. I can’t believe I paid money to watch Battlefield Earth. Don’t tell anyone though, ok? I feel bad enough as it is.

And here we see the American homosexual in his natural habitat - San Francisco. Homosexuals vary in weight and plumage and blend into their surroundings very well. This lot here is very aggressive. You’ve got to be careful not to turn your back on them or bend over too near them else you’ll be walking funny on your way home. Most homosexuals aren’t nearly this feisty, but these little beauties are really in the mood today.

So, what did you guys think of Jordan the other night? 19 points is pretty good for a 38 year old guy, even if there’s almost no other reason to watch the Wizards.
Oh, and I thought it only fitting to stop in and further horrify the Chick-thing that walks like a man. And as to the aggressive homosexual thing, I think the Onion has the first and last words here:
:: Kamandi opens front door, holding enormous overflowing bowl ::
Okay, I’ve got Snickers, Hershey’s Special Dark, KitKat, Peppermint Patties and little bags of M&Ms. Sorry, no Mounds - I can’t abide coconut. Mrs K is just finishing off a huge batch of caramel apples. You’ll have to wait a few minutes if you want one. Moms & Dads: just help yourselves to the keg out there on the lawn. Just remember to properly dispose of your plastic cups afterward. Everyone form a double line, no shoving or you get a toothbrush.
